I dunno, for existing when the games had no plot, Street Fighter IIV and Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie both kicked a hell of a lot of ass.
And while the plot was decidedly lacking, the choreography (can we call it that?) for the Alpha movie was seriously kickass.

*Actually liked Street Fighter II V*

So far I liked the animes character designs over...well everything else. Especially the SF4 art style.

SFIIV was actually really good, in my mind. Well, okay...by really good, I mean "a lot of fun". But it WAS.

Last fight was awesome.

and I didn't know Nash was black, Ryu could talk to puppies at the mall, and Hadou works as a fountain of youth.

Bump to mention that Capcom released some screenies of the home version, showing more returning characters including Dan, Fei Long, Cammy, and, completely out of the blue, Gen.

Well, they did tell EGM that something related to one of their old April Fool's Jokes would be making it into the home version. The idea behind Ken and Ryu's master actually started as an EGM April Fool's joke, even if his name was Shenlong(which I believe arose from an improper translation of the Dragon Punch in one of Ryu's old victory lines) in that, and not Gouken. XD

Early versions of SF2 had Ryu's winquote as "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance." Gamers, not knowing that "Sheng Long" is the Chinese equivalent of "Shoryuken", assumed Sheng Long is Ryu's master. From there, EGM made their now-infamous prank. It's worth noting that later revisions of SF2 changed the line to "You must defeat my Dragon Punch to stand a chance."

Gen, Fei Long, & Dan make me quite happy. I'm glad the roster is adding a FEW non-SFII fighters, just to make it feel a little more like an actual sequel as opposed to SFII-and-a-half.

Sakura should've really outgrown that fuku by now, though....

Doesn't matter Lowe :P

Maybe she just likes wearing the same clothes?

Still, Sakura FTW!

And the Dan inclusion has me more interested now.

Also, did anyone else feel like, with Ryu and Ken, the special move specialisation should've been the other way around?

Remember back in the day when they gave Ryu the flaming Hadoken, and then Ken got the flaming Shoryuken? I always thought back then that Ryu should've had the Shoryuken focus... especially with the backstory with Sagat.

:not sure: ah well... I guess I have to be thankful... after all Ken + Shinyuuken >>> ALL other Super moves :P

Rose confirmed. Also on 4chan is an SF4-style picture of Ibuki.

Rose being in makes no sense, but this game doesn't make much sense at all atm anyway. >>;; But... Rose!!!! <3<3<3

Additionally, a Famitsu manga showing the women of SF4 includes both Ibuki and Elena, so...

And why isn't Oro in yet? >>;; It'd actually make sense for him to show up. =/

Wait... Rose?

I thought she was killed off? Or supposed to have been killed off? By Bison or something, after Alpha/Zero or whatever...

:not sure:

Bleh :P I really need to brush up on my SF history...

She is. But Vega/Bison died too, so it doesn't really matter much at this point. >>;; Capcom clearly isn't trying to follow a story anymore. XD

Taking the comic book approach I guess... multiple/alternate universes XD

Or the old Gundam/Anime/fiction plothole method...

EDIT: One where Sakura seems to have lived in Never Never Land for a while and just didn't grow up...

hmm... I really wouldn't mind seeing a grown-up (or more grown-up) version of Sakura ^_^

But then they don't have an excuse for her to dress like a school girl, and that's the entire point of her character. XD

How about "Secretary" Sakura with short hair in a bun with her wearing a dress shirt and short business skirt... but that makes no sense when you consider Sakura's personality...

I'm just happy we're getting Fei Long & Dan in a new game together again. Means Iddy and I can have epic battles again.

Also, Gouken looks pretty neat himself.

Geez a whole month has passed... didn't even see this <_<

I don't mind seeing it as an alternate outfit, if they bother with anything more than recolours :P

She'd still be cute as a button :P

EDIT: I'm gonna keep saying this, but Capcom still REALLY NEEEEEDS to put out more Rival Schools stuff.

Gimme my Akira!

I don't care if it's a crossover with an SF game... just gimme more! They could put them all in college for all I care... but those characters (and that game along with Project Justice) were FAR better than SF in my opinion :P

IIRC, the guy behind RS said he wanted to keep it separate from SF.

That's fine with me too :P just give us more!

Actually I would prefer it remained separate... just keep Sakura in there.

SF can keep Kyosuke :P I'm still a fan... but yeah...
