Long time lurker of this thread, love all the good info from Tiamat, sano & others.
I just picked up Street Fighter #0 (the comic) yesterday and just thought I’d mention it if anyone has any questions about it.
It features Ryu, Evil Ryu and Gouken (and implied Gouki) and bios for the original 12 World Warriors + Gouki.
No Fielong Bio? He gets no love…
I suppose my attitude about the Comic is rather optimistic now that I know Kia Asamiya will provide a back up story in issue 3! Well, 2 questions.
Does any of the info about the 13 characters blatantly contradict the Plot Guide?
Without revealing the winner since I plan to track down the book later on, how the heck do Ryu and Satsui No Ryu fight?
need to do a side-by-side comparison. I don’t have the book in front of me right now. For one thing, Ken doesn’t witness Gouken die. No one does. (Except Gouki :evil: ) Also, Gouken has white hair in the book. Evil Ryu looks badass, BTW. There’s one pic of him that I’m thinking about getting as an av, even though the whole Satsui/Orochi/Devil/Ogre/etc idea got old years ago…
Two words: dream sequence 
I also think that other Street Fighters will get bios eventually. Or at the very least, they will show up on the comic website. Which only has bios for Ryu & Guile right now.
Sorry Tiamat, it only works in the Japanese version of CvS2, so those sites were not being clear, or they’re just full of crap.
Cripes. The cheat’s listed at nearly every cheat site out there. …sigh, stupid cheat sites. …stupid Capcom of America. Stupid language barrier. Bah. Whatever. sends next update
Wasn’t Gouken’s daughter there and saw the whole fight? Assuming it’s still part of the official storyline, anyways.
Considering that Gouken’s daughter (and also probably Ken too) witnessing Gouken’s death has been long forgotten by Capcom of Japan for the most part, I’d be kind of surprised if it were in the comic. 
Can’t be in the comic if even Capcom of Japan doesn’t remember it, after all.
Though I guess there’s still the question of when Ken ever met Akuma in the first place (since his SF3 dialogue with Akuma shows he did and that Akuma has seen Ken fight). Strange.
Random. Reports in SvC are that Bison turns into a dark haired Cammy in red, and Hugo turns into something that looks sorta like Poison (but not exactly… until after he gets drained, then it’s extremely similar).
Tee hee hee, a big man converted to transvestite! Ah gosh!
“Come on, baby… eeeellllughk!!!”
Anyone knows a FAQ of SNK series (the characters and the progression of Ikari Warriors, Psycho Soldiers, Fatal Fury, AOF, TKOF…) based in the SNK All About and other official statements (like de SF and the MK Plot Guides)?
Closest things you’ll probably get are Lantis’ plot guides, but the majority of them are based entirely off of interpretation of in-game info, and thus are probably missing a few details.
He admits changing some minute details for a more dramatic effect. You should get the main idea of things by reading his guides, but try not to take everything too seriously.
The Lantis’ FAQ is very, very cool! But the thing that I want to see is a ‘rank’ of the powers of the fighters, like the Tiers of the Tiamat’s FAQ. It can be found in any place?
Not to my knowledge. The problem with SNK games is that without knowing the details of most battles, the majority of any attempts to power tier the characters makes no damn sense. For example, Takuma’s powerful enough to stop a death star laser with his fireball, so why the heck hasn’t the AoF team ever won a KOF tournament? Furthermore, due to the majority of the teams having filler roles in the storyline, it’s kinda hard to see who’s more powerful than who when there aren’t any confirmed battles and outcomes with each character.
At one point Lantis did attempt to list the strongest people in KOF. Here’s his list.
The thing you have to understand with SNK Games is that for the most part, if someone’s a God, or way stronger than you, if they kidnap/kill your father, try to blow up the world or are evil, somehow, someway, they will loose because good will triumph over evil. The concept works in KOF, Samurai Showdown, and even Fatal Fury where people continuosly say Geese is stronger than Terry even though Terry beats him. So, Tiers mean less in SNK for this reason to me anyways, but Lantis’s list is really good.
Street Fighter doesn’t work on this concept. In SF, winning is not that important, so long as you do your best and be the best you can be. Furthermore, while fighting for revenge is a positive thing in SNK, it’s a rather bad thing in SF. Guile has to let it go and not kill Vega(Dictator), Sagat has to let Dan win because revenge can’t do it alone, Gill lets Alex win, Sagat has to let go his anger as it even blinds him so badly that he looses to Adon, and so on, and so on.
Also, as Neo Rasa has stated on more than one occasion, people obsessed with Fighting are very strong in SF, but people that have other things going on in their lives in SNK are stronger than people only obsessed with fighting in KOF. Quick example Neo Rasa usually gives.
In the Street Fighter Universe, it would work like this.
Ryu > Ken
Andy > Terry
In the KOF Universe, it would work like this -
Ken > Ryu
Terry > Andy
Oh, and Vega(Dictator) don’t look like Cammy to me, just a female Vega.

Just don’t let RamirezPlatinum see you talking about SF power-tiers. Not only does he not try to understand the story, but he’s also a jackass and a GameFAQs scrub.
Anyway :p, … Lol, now Vega’s (Balrog) got an excuse to gloat on how beautiful he is. Thanks, sano. Very funny.
Read thru the Official SNK storyline thread in this forum.
I’ve seen several people comment that she looks like Cammy, several comment that she looks like Rose, and several comment that she looks like Baroness from G.I. Joe.
I can’t tell, myself. Too bad you can’t see if there’s anything in the back of her hair or not.
Sano: The Lantis’ list is cool… But I heard that in the KOF Kyo (a RPG of TKOF '97), Terry, in a fight with Kyo, not wins because he abandons the ring. The Terry’s abillity is very great, but Kyo had a god reason to continue in the competition…
Hcparker: Where?
