Maki IS Rena’s younger sister, but what does have to with anything? Do you see some contradiction in her quotes?
Nah, nothing to do with her quotes, those are all fine.
Its the extra profiles posted on Maki - "Rena’s older sister. When Mad Gear was initially beaten, their new leader, Retu, kidnapped Genryusai and Rena…"
Nothing big, but still contradictory. Just wondering about the source for that bit of info.
It’s probably just a screw by Capcom USA, nothing really new. Of course, it could be another retroactive change by Capcom of Japan, considering that they could have thought that Maki was too young to be a daughter of Genryusai without WEIRD things going on. Of course, I still think that it’s most likely Capcom USA’s mistake because why would Capcom of Japan make a retroactive change for a handheld system for an easter egg?
Just a quick question, guys. How did Jimmy get called as Blanka? Where did he get that from?
It might have come from Sakura Ganbaru (sp), an unofficial manga that inspired a few things in SFA3, such as Dan and Blanka being friends and the character Karin.
Blanka being called Blanka… I dunno. I’m not sure if Capcom ever explained that. Was Blanka a name the locals gave him or something? I recall that my USA SF2 instruction booklet for the SNES game say the locals spotted a legendary beast or something but I forget if it said that they were the ones that called him Blanka.
Eagle is not a member of MI6 going after Bison. That was something made up by videogamespot.com, of which that FAQ that posted that Eagle profile about him going after Bison must have gotten the info from. I wouldn’t trust that FAQ saying that Maki is the older sister over official sources, either, since that person was typing it up him/herself, and thus it was probably a human error thing. Those profiles aren’t a copy and paste from the SFA3 instruction booklet (or anything, really), after all.
Ataru’s working on Doll doujinshi! drool Or at least, that’s what I take it from his site badly translated with Alta Vista. Each of the two black and white images there lead you to the cover pages of a Doll doujinshi that he’s apparently doing. One’s called Doce Azul Roso and the other is Shadowlaw Robo. Apparently, he prefers the name, Shadowlaw, too. At least, I think they’re being done by him. I’d buy them if I weren’t such a cheapskate.

Ataru’s Doll Doujinshi!!! That would rule!!! I suppose it’s not the easiest thing in the world to purchase, so unless I somehow see it magically in front of me in a store I’m not gonna buy it. Hopefully Ataru will give us a few more pics from the comic soon on his Site, especially of my two favorite other Dolls - Noembulu and Decapre!
What are the 12 Dolls again?
I read somewhere, probably cammyfan.com that each had a name, a description, and a specialty.
The Twelve Dolls are Twelve 16 year old girls from different countries that Vega (the dictator) kidnapped and brain washed. Each of there names corresponds to the name of a month. Juni and Juli are the ones in the game.
(Spanish for January) Enero - From Spain - Communications
(French for Feb.) Fevrier - From France - Fire Arms
(German for March) Marz - From Germany - Computer Specialist
(Italian for April) Aprile - From Italy - Medic
(Japanese for May) Satsuki - From Japan - Sword Weilder
(German for June) Juni - From Germany - Silent Killer with a high amount of Psycho power
(German for July) Juli - From Germany - Cold hearted Assasin
(Viet Namese for Aug.) Santamu - Spear Weilder
(Chinese for Sep.) Xiayu - From China - Nunchucks
(Chinese for Oct.) Jianyu - From China - Quarter Staff
(Native American for November. Well, not really…) Noembulu - From Mexico - Twin Hatchets
(Russian for December) Decapre - From Russia - Looks like Cammy but wears a mask like Balrog (the ninja)

So the story behind Yun in SFA3 is that he somehow went back in time? I never thought that Crawfish would actually bother to explain his appearence…
Bear with me for a second as this may be common knowledge to some but I don’t play SF3 Second Impact - Giant Attack much (I like SF3 Third Strike and CVS2 a whole lot more) so I wanted to bring this up.
Finally got to fight Gouki in the Game. Since I was playing with Ryu, he Shun Gokusatsued Ken (Ryu’s Final Boss) instead! Now, when the ending credits ran, it showed Gouki lying on the ground in Ken’s Stage! That made me laugh out loud! But after the Credits ran, his body started flashing like a Disco Ball??? What the Hell was that?!! I guess Capcom’s way of showing you he ain’t dead yet? I dunno…
Thanks, sano.
Did Cammy have a specific purpose other than Bison’s (Vega’s) potential host body?
Blanka was actually called “hombre blanco”, which means white man in spanish. Originally, Blanka had very, very white skin and in time, I guess it went from “hombre blano” to Blanka in little Jimmy’s mind.
Well, Bison wanted Ryu’s body most of all, so Cammy’s body was actually a back-up plan in case apprehending Ryu before his Psycho Power exceeded the limits of his own body would fail. Then she became self-aware, so that idea went down the toilet as well. :rolleyes:
Aside from that, Cammy was Bison’s top Doll. I’m not sure if he’d be so quick to dispose of her if she was still taking loyalties like a mindless robot, like he decided to do with Juni and Juli. Of all of Bison’s assassins, her skills come second only to Vega.
Oh yeah, speaking of Blanka, I have to ask again. How did he get himself registered for the tournament in SF2? I’ve yet to read something that makes sense of it. Was the tourney an offer given to him by some guy who thought he looked qualified because he looks like a brute?
So is Blanka actually a Brazilian, or does he just live there? If he’s not Brazilian, where is he from? I have the same question for Oro. I heard somewhere that Oro is actually Japanese, but he lives in Brazil by choice.
Another tier question regarding the SF3 characters:
We all know that Gill would never intentionally LOSE or hold his end of a bargain unless he saw some interesting potential in his opponents (excluding Urien), right? Well, with that said…
Although Yun and Yang most likely faced Gill as a team, they did manage to impress him in Third Strike, didn’t they? I seriously doubt they could’ve done this and gained leadership of their town if they were ‘teen nobodies’, so that should be a good enough reason to place them in Tier 6. After all, Birdie impressed Bison so that he could be in Shadaloo, and he isn’t considered a ‘grown-up nobody’ like Honda and Blanka.
And in Ibuki’s defense: I know Ibuki retrieving the G-file from Gill IS conjecture, but wouldn’t it make sense that he wouldn’t give it to her if he didn’t think she was good enough? Anyone less skilled would be a waste of his time and get knocked the fuck out. Another Tier 6 nominee.
By far, the only one aside from Alex remembered to have possibly impressed Gill due to performance alone was Dudley, so I think it’s only fair to apply that sort of luck to the other characters mentioned.
Still don’t know how to place anyone who doesn’t have major storyline interactions (IE, basically everyone ‘down there’), but I believe imagine it’s a lot easier to get away with impressing Gill than it is to impress M. Bison. The fact that Birdie was able to do it at all is practically a miracle in my eyes, given M. Bison’s tendency to… er, kill anyone that looks in his remote direction. Yea, Vega and Balrog and Sagat got away with it, but Vega’s speed is officially as fast as Chun-Li (as well as sadistic, which apparently struck a chord with M. Bison :p) and Balrog can kill an elephant and Sagat is… well, Sagat, so they have better chances. Course, not that I’m very sure of that, either. I dunno how impressionable Gill is, too. Maybe he’s a hard ass also, or maybe not, but he always seemed rather laid back (relatively speaking) to me.
Bear with my hardly playing SF3 Second Impact self for just a bit more…
Figured out what the flashing Gouki was all about. I put in an all gaming day for New Years Day, and after many tries I got to fight Shin Gouki! After you beat Gouki, he starts flashing (like he did in the ending you get if you just beat Gouki) gets up, his hair turns white and the background gets dimmer! I beat him but he was tough! He triple Parried my Shinku Hadoken twice!! Now that’s a smart Ass AI!!!
Wondering about the Blanka/Oro question myself. Blanka’s real name is Jimmy, so I always thought he originally was Caucasian. If he was Latino Jimenez would be a better fit, but a name’s just a name and does not necessarily have to imply race.
Oro means gold in Spanish, but it’s a word in Japanese too. Well, Rurouni Kenshin’s always saying it…
That’s interesting.
Especially considering Brazil’s official language is Portuguese NOT Spanish.
Just thought I would toss that little nugget out there.
