Warriors Fate: Street Fighter story thread, revived

Since people, including myself are still bugging Erik Ko on either a Final Fight Mini comic or Final Fight characters appearing in SF, he had this to say over at the SFD Forums.

"OK… lets figure this out.

I just talked to Capcom again. We do need to pay for a seperate license if we wanna do Final FIght, and anything related to that game. Story, characters, etc etc. We can use the characters in our SF books if they are in SFA3, but since they have practically no story there, we cannot just go and use the FF story background as a fill in.

I have been thinking about a FF mini. If we can see the SF Legends book sell the regular numbers of the SF book (meaning about 25K per issue), then we WILL go and pay for the FF license and do a SFL: FF mini with 4 to 6 issues.

Now, the question is what can we do to tell EVERYONE you know to pick up a copy of SFL:Sakura?"

Reading a translation fact of Namco xx Capcom, I notice that Guy there is quite the merciless person, too. Sakura (or someone. I forget) pleads with him to spare the kitten villain (Jango or something) but he (and Sho as well) insists on destroying him because he’s evil and can not be redeemed.

I’m all for a Final Fight mini comic, but what would be the point of putting Final Fight characters in the SF comic??

And why is Final Fight Streetwise even included in the Plot Guide?

Oh I just asked Udoneko for an SF Legends story after Sakura’s. One that focused on Rose and they could use Guy the same way as her SFZ3 story. But they ain’t gonna do that like Udoneko said.

TiamatRoar - That cat survives a Shun Goku Satsu attack from Gouki. Ken survives it too when SNH Ryu does it against him. So it might be different in NXC, might not send you to Hell. Though you kind of visit Hell in the game anyway.

The same reason SOTA gave Blanka a skull for one of his accessories, I imagine.

Yea, I dunno if the physics of what determines life and death and pain and wounds are the same anyways. After all, this is a game where Ryu can shoryuken Dig Dug monsters. Although I’m interested in if there will be any special text about the attack when Akuma does it to Bison in one of the latter chapters.

I’m up to like chapter 33 in NxC. The thing about the game is you need plenty of free time, clearing one stage from 30 and up can take up to 4 to 6 hours! It’s still a lof of fun and stuff, there’s still a few other games I want to clear for now but I’ll jump back into it sooner or later.

The best stage I’ve seen so far, Ryu was in SNH mode with Gouki. Vega(cape) appeared. No matter what you did against Vega you couldn’t harm him, he was invincible. SNH Ryu was about to go nuts, Sakura jumped in his path. He was about to take out Sakura with the SGS, Ken got in the way. Ken took the attack, stood up and knocked Ryu out with a Shoryuken. This cured Ryu of SNH. Then Vega was taken down by Ryu with a Shin Shoryuken! It was a hella good moment for SF fans.

Curious, which translation are you reading? The ones I’ve come across are still pretty early into it, like up to chapter 7 and another one is up to chapter 9. This one -

I generally use both of those translations, although I don’t fully read them. Too much text for that (good grief, it’s Xenogears syndrome all over again. Crazy Namco). I just do quick scans and maybe word searches for anything that might be of particular interest. :stuck_out_tongue:

and Fei Long’s account.

Fei Long from Gamest SSF2

Story of Fei Long

The weekend. Cars come and go on the national highway. 8:30 at night.
For Fei Long, within a taxi, he could hear his own pulsing gradually speeding up. The trembling wouldn’t stop.
He had already wanted to be able for his heart’s provision, of course with his body, before the “struggle” it was stiffening. However “anxiety” was what that resolved to not become. In him was a strong determination and self confidence. Peaceful eyes closed, gripping fists, he was sparing an erected prevailing heart.

He just now, was finished photographing the spot of the movie’s location. The last scene.
Raging waves to crumble an evening cliff. At a deceased friend’s tombstone, a scene of returning victorious. He decided on a magnificent 1 take.
In him, such things as today’s photographing could not have honor even in the enlarging process. From morning his power of concentration was tremendous. Surely the action scenes dreadfully urged on. Everyone of the staff, extraordinarily feeling his enthusiasm, advanced his photographing with high tension circumstances.
Everyone, admired Fei Long’s backbone as that of a natural pro, for him, the true motive was increasing expectations.
After the end of the photographing the staff to finish with a party, pretending of an errand to return home he hurriedly picked up a taxi.
By 9:00, he couldn’t help but go to Hong Kong Island’s Tiger Balm Park.
Fei Long saw his watch. It seemed that somehow or other the time was at an agreeable interval. Settled down with a little bit of pleasure, besides his line of vision was bound for it.
He sees a beautiful night view. What wasn’t there, hitherto he remembered seeing to his own matters.

He was born in Hong Kong and raised in Hong Kong. From younger times Fei Long aspired to be an action star. From the time of age 6 he began daily attendance at the town’s kung fu dojo.
For a short-statured Fei Long, with his speed and sense he made fun of larger opponents. His moves were exhilarating ones. Slipping through openings of opponents’ moves, yearning to dive in he quickly drove into sequential moves. That talent was one of granted genius.
At the time of age 18, he entered the film world as a stuntman. At last he was rough and ready. All the while carrying on with miscellaneous business and supporting roles, surely his heart wanted to jump into a major role someday. Indeed, within his acting, there was no glitter among the rest of the new stars. That being his great energy, his self-confidence, having only an innate prodigy, a person who could supplement a captivating power.

However, his zeal was of fruitless effort. Intently crediting the ego’s talent as a polisher, without appreciation of doing a plethora of tricks for his assertion to frankly go beyond, as time bought into animosity, envy- that’s what it became.
He would take it, as a connection to an opportune successful career and such of what became an interest. Grind, seizing the top in this world, cannot be unless every surface is calculated.
Interrupting a conversation on positives in performance coaching, an idea to see go out was enacting a sword battle. However the plan for new stars would be laughing them down. Unless he held on, the movie’s construction character and also a butting-in unknown stripling would be to yell at. Unless coerced into no more practicing, he would’ve retired.
To not do the thing he wants to do, several years gone to waste. He would take it, with restless grinding teeth not the darkness of several years.
But, a naturally talented ability dragged in a chance. His case would take in the assistant director he met by chance.
"Your, favorite method give it a go."
A scene to enact with 5 people as opponents. Cornered, a battle place to end in defeat. Originally, multiple cuts separately taken, expected for an editing hand afterwards.
For Fei Long, that scene a 30-second interval, one shot was taken by the crane camera.
That talent, beginning with the assistant director, at that spot left all members of the staff silent. Words wouldn’t come out.
This experience surely seemed to flow by. At that moment Fei Long’s holding power began to deliver, the environment surrounding him completely changed.
Until then no different class action scene became for a record topic of conversation as for that great hit movie. Fei Long who was an anonymous new star became the movie world’s man of the hour.
Next he was taken to various places from which he was invited, the assistant director granted him a chance and, once more he decided on the matter of work. That’s been performances lately. Within his story, a momentous star role that he took hold of raised his status.
And so today, he completely finished that photographing.

"Honored guest, we have arrived!"
His self was taken aback. With money as payment, Fei Long came down from the taxi.
The park’s entrance crowded with sight-seeing guests during the day, the tall gate locked, as if it was deserted. The enclosure of the garden stone arrangements following a backwards rotation, a narrow stone step would rise. That path, was expected to be connected to the side door.
“The World Fighting Championship”…illegal that gathering he had heard rumors of a week before.
From the beginning of next time’s movie location, no doubt a harmonious feeling for an always continued sensation. That’s the photographing he would progress to in company with the greatly become going in his heart, with no cheating impulses as he was brought up.
Truly with seemingly gathered circumstances, what are they? The fact to rise in name as a silver screen star?
The directions so far being all those inquiries to throw question marks at, unnoticed his heart controlled, unable to be set apart from it.
And also that rumor.
Once a year, a mysterious fighting bout takes place at Tiger Balm Park of Hong Kong Island. Different kinds of fighting moves battle without all the prohibiting hands, to grant the winner an enormous monetary reward. However thus far, it is to say that the bout due to security hasn’t retained someone to return.
He wanted to be entrusted with the rumor’s true meaning. Seemingly to say, Fei Long himself set his heart on merely that knowing nothing else.
So far day in and day out it was kung fu on his own. To present oneself with the most successful means as a chosen action star’s dream of realization.
What does my body crave? Even for the moment, if asking the body to profit from the opportunity…
Doubt, how would it be if it was said? At the time of having irritation to spare and a scorching heart begun control, that “notice” rapidly came. That, made him do the present’s actions.

The side entrance’s door was open. The whole park floating on “spirit”, Fei Long distinctly sensed it. And so he was assured. The rumors were true after all.
As for Fei Long, he took out a single-sheet card. This morning, something was put into the hiding space of his jacket pocket.

Today, Tiger Leopard Villa from 21:00 No 04

That was written on the card.
Tiger Leopard Villa (Fuubaao Bettsuuai) is here, another name for Tiger Balm Park. Intuitively he understood. Someone entice me. A guy who knows my circumstances, forward this to me. The rumors are true.

Above the stone flooring was exposed the cold wind. A bluish white moon, shining on a white stage. His voice suddenly resounding, for Fei Long his body spontaneously tightened.
"From here, I go for the bout!“
He sensed the usual line of vision within the dark. Fighting spirit couldn’t help but swirl.
And I, from the stage’s other side the single man revealed. For the man hiding in the falling moon’s shadow of the park’s architecture, a suitable appearance cannot be seen.
”…already I believe that I’ve gotten to see the complimentary ticket. Today’s winner is one name just chosen. That person will be to witness at the next Asia tournament’s participation. You go by the card’s number order for bouts. Number 1 and Number 2 come up front!"
In answer to that voice, from both stage ends 2 men rushed out. One person a short-statured man clad in a gi suit, one person a long-haired man in jeans and a t-shirt. Glaring at each other they matched as it was without a stir.
"Begin!"
Fei Long fixated on the 2 people, ears strained.
How heedlessly the fist meets to swing down opponents agreeably dulling them just by the grating sound. Difficult to resist the feeling of tension as your breath stops.
Just like that the match settled. The long-haired man with his body in agony lay face-down on the stone flooring.
Attention driven away he finally moved. Do these guys exist? These guys and, my struggle against them? My moves are what these guys commonly use…?
Taking off his jacket, he takes deep breaths. His entire body swells with spirit.
Within his heart was some hesitation yet complications also erased. To prove one’s own might. And also why I have lived. I fear nothing. For sure the proof of my might, is the proof of my own human life!

"Next, Number 3 and Number 4, come up front!"
Only the dragonfly, jumped down onto the stage.
For him now, self confidence was such that he would absolutely prevail with whichever formidable opponent would appear. Fear or losing his bearings, he doesn’t feel them a bit.
In order to win it all, Fei Long ran towards it.

Next time Dee Jay. Thanks as always for reading minna-san.:tup: :clap:

Vasilli:

Concerning Titan, shouldn’t that be “Neck Hanging Three”, the same as Hugo’s throw (neck choke hold) in SF3 series?

Thanks vas! Fei Long is one of my favorite under-used characters. :smile:

Yeah after doing some brief googling, I believe the correct term is ‘Neck Hanging Tree’ (???). I might’ve written it wrong in my last post. Thanks, vasili10.

Ultima & Golden Dragon: yeah it should be tree, easy kanji to confuse, fixed it. Thanks for both of your clarifications.:china: It has indeed the same name as Hugo’s move.

sano: sure thing. I liked that we see where AAC’s term for the SF tournaments comes from.

I was in the Japanese Book store getting the latest issue of Arcadia and guess what I found today in another video game magazine? Akiman of Street Fighter fame did a drawing of Zero Suit Samus! Sure it’s a fan art kind of drawing from him for Metroid Zero Mission but I find the timing of this drawing along with Zero Suit Samus being in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, another fighting game to be pretty cool! Enjoy!

Hey vasili10, quick favor. Can you tell me what it says, just a gist of it anyway? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone seen those 2nd Impact flyers? From a designer’s perspective, that one with Alex in the center, overlapping the larger image of Hugo in the background could suggest some kind of rivalry. Even though they’ve probably never met, Hugo’s appearance was intended to create some kind of stir for anyone who actually cared about SF3, since Alex was supposed to be the main grappler. It’s kinda like the Chun-Li and Cammy pics for SF2, where Cammy’s appearance put Chun-Li’s position as #1 female fighter in jeopardy.

And I’m curious about Alex’s relationship with Patricia. If in that one art piece where he’s carrying her it says in quotes “I want you to realize how I feel about you,” how can we be sure Alex is the one saying it? Or what if this didn’t happen at all and it’s something of a dream Patricia had?

Its Just Fan Art!

Then why the hell is it mentioned in the Plot Guide?

Although it was initially labelled as official, then labelled as fanart, we then later confirmed that it was done by designers as a fan art, but not specifically officially endorsed, didn’t we? And therefore that the possibility of it being serious was significantly higher than fan art but not necessarily 100% conclusive. That’s what I recall, anyways.

And I always thought the words were Patricia’s thoughts, not Alex. I find it hard to imagine Alex having a crush on Patricia, but Patricia having a girl crush on Alex wouldn’t be surprising.

Designers? Who drew it? Is anyone else getting an email with every new post?

Yep. Prolly 'cuz SRK was down for most of yesterday. I unsubscribed to all threads twice and it’s still doing it…

sano: the top and bottom blocks talk about Akiman and his accomplishments, SF2 for games and Turn A Gundam for anime mostly, he’s a freelancer now, also the mag comments that it receives artwork from him on a monthly basis.
His commentary on the left of the page gives his thoughts on his Samus art, says he likes drawing pretty female characters in general, wanted to portray Nintendo’s character without all the extras (her suit and weapons I’m guessing), a realistic figure with elements of beauty and courage blended in, and of course at the end he asks readers how it is, what they think of it.

Kataklysmic: Alex and Hugo are often grouped together most likely because they’re both wrestlers; even 2I’s intro shows them about to grapple, and there’s their extra animation from 3S mimicking Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.

aerialgroove: Members of the Capcom Design staff (at least back during 2I’s release) drew those Alex+Pat pics. The one with Pat goodbye-kissing him on the cheek was by Sakura Ryu-san, and the one that looks like a postage stamp is by Kintou Soushi-san (guessing with that name due to one of the last name kanji being kind of blurry, but anyway).
