BoBe-Patt Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 wow, that anime looks pretty cool, but I'd rather much have the team that did street fighter alpha instead to make that anime. The characters in this look all chunky, and less detailed. I'd still watch it though, cause ryu finally fights akuma in this one. Quote
mpchi Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 It almost looks like this animation is for the SF4 home version (PS3/Xbox360) and not for the Arcade nor a stand alone animation show. If the entire game has this type of high quality animation for story telling, then SF4 sure is a winning combo to me. Don't mind the animation characters look a little chunky. Ryu & Ken got much nicer faces there than the CG trailers (maybe CG stuff for Arcade version?). Really liking this animated trailer. Quote

Black Valkyrie Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 A friend of mine came back from Japan and told me that the arcade didn`t do well, only with original and hard core fans. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Well like I said before I`ll still buy a console just for it. Quote
d3v Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Well like I said before I`ll still buy a console just for it. Well it is coming out on PC, so if you've got a decent rig, all you'll need is a good stick. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Well it is coming out on PC, so if you've got a decent rig, all you'll need is a good stick. Ture but my PC is way old and not in a hurry to upgrade it. As for the controller I already have the PS2-Saturn pad hooked to it by a USB connector. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 So when's the release date of the game on consoles? Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Now I have seen one of the alpha movies but I just didn't like it as much as the animated movie for some reason. It was the way each character was used close to how I imagine them to be if they were real people: vega(claw guy) is a psycho who assasinates people, Cammy is a manchurian candidate, Balrog (boxing dude) is linked to a lot of criminal activity, chun li isn't primarily just fighting for the sake of it but trying to capture bison and bring him to justice, blanka is a circus freak (mutation hasn't given him much other career choice), Zangief is a prowrestler in illegal fights, feilong is exactly what bruce lee would be if he was alive now , Deejay is definitely street punk who only cares about his music (we don't even see him fight) and ken is bothered by ryu leaving him behind because now that he has relaxed his skill is probably getting worse over time even though his opponents are strong. (him fighting in a controlled environment where fighting is merely a sport for spectators to watch and there are rules in it as opposed to the fights to the death that ryu probably get involved in) I guess what I am saying is it wasn't a kiddy approach to the franchise. Even Bison comes off as purely in it to find strong bodyguards. There is no tournament! It's just some fascist guy kidnapping people against their free will and through mind control using them as puppets to carry out orders. The animated movie story wise is everything the hollywood movie should have been imo. Characters like guile motivated purely by revenge is exactly how you would imagine the main character in many of those american action hero movies would act. (ie you know this is street fighter's version of the punisher, where he is not that different from bison in terms of wanting to murder him for his own reasons instead of focus on the job of taking down shadowloo - but noo.. they had to make it funny instead of serious to appeal to 13 year olds!) That youtube vid seems to be the right idea: fleshing out who ryu is and giving us info about him and akuma (is that his name in the japanese game?) and the guy who akuma beat. Hollywood never allowed for that in its live action movies. And you can't say they won't let asians have the role of the main character: what about all those jackie chan movies? No excuse: Ryu should be an important character because officially that is who you use in the first street fighter. Nothing against the chun li fan, but after this new live action movie geez give ryu some chance to shine whydoncha? He's only the main character of the whole freakin franchise!

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 One thing that disapointed me in that trailer was it looked like a young gen got pwned by akuma. He was my fave character in Alpha. If that's not Gen and just some generic opponent that got his butt kicked then just ignore this post. But judging by the comments on death and how it is the fate of people who fight that sounds like something from one of his character quotes. Personally I found his moves (and the comibnations of both styles used together) a much more interesting fighting technique than akuma who lets be honest is almost a pallette swap of ryu/ken with some unique bits. A friend of mine came back from Japan and told me that the arcade didn`t do well, only with original and hard core fans. Hopefully this does well in other places when it comes onto consoles. SFII when it first came out was what really helped the arcades. But nowadays people prefer playing their games in the home. Sorta like how drive-in theatres were on the way out, and then now people go to normal theatres less, and its all home theatres instead. There are going to be people who can't find an arcade that has the game and whose only option is the console version. Quote
Isamu Starkiller Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 1/1LVL you're absolutely right about arcades, here in the states they've gone the way of the drive in movie theater. I am a bit surprised to hear it didn't do so well in Japanese arcades...I think everyone knows it's coming to the PS3 & X360 with additional content like the anime, Sakura, Dan, Fei Long and probably Cammy too. Not to mention it'll be online and have additional DLC down the road. Who would waste money at the arcade? Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) *Shrugs shoulders* Desperate hardcore fans who want a head start. (lots of people play fighters competitively like a sport) What capcom really need? The Marvel license back so they can make MVC3. Edited October 16, 2008 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Hm, looks interesting. I wonder if they will make a third animated movie. Quote
Isamu Starkiller Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm fairly certain the clips we've seen so far in the trailers are part of a new full length anime. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Street Fighter IV confirmed for consoles this winter. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Apparently the voices will be dubbed over for US release. I wonder how that's going to work/sound. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Apparently the voices will be dubbed over for US release. I wonder how that's going to work/sound. Like it usually does: ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Simple if you have the PS3, get the jp version. Quote
lord_breetai Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 okay Sakura in the console version.. I'm officially interested now! Sakura FTW lord_breetai *who most certainly did not comission Udon Studio's artist Omar Dogun to do a sketch of Sakura in a UN Spacy Uniform after finding out he did art on both Udon's Street Fighter comics and on Robotech Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles, when I met him at the Calgary Comic Expo... oh wait I did* Quote
Keith Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 It's a PS3 game, there's no reason that it shouldn't have both Japanese & english audio. With that said, I'm not touching the game until I find out Quote
Gaijin Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Apparently the voices will be dubbed over for US release. I wonder how that's going to work/sound. In what capacity? The game voices or the story anime? If it's the story anime I'm not too concerned. If it's the gameplay voices than that would be an import for me. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I don't know how much of the game is supposed to be dubbed. I just remember catching that in an article I read recently, but I can't remember where. There have been some decent game dubs. Metal Gear Solid series comes to mind. But yeah, not really keen on hearing "HAH-DOO-KAIN!" "ALL-YOU-CAN!"... Quote
Gaijin Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I doubt the game voices will be dubbed. If anything, it will be the story sequences. Quote
Hoptimus Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I doubt the game voices will be dubbed. If anything, it will be the story sequences. They were dubbed when I played it at SDCC 08 already. Ryu has a pretty bad english voice. Quote
Isamu Starkiller Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I really hope there's gonna be an option to turn off the announcer in the home version. And I thought the SNK vs Capcom 2 announcer was bad.... I saw some impressive Sakura matches on YT last weekend, one against a skilled Ryu player and one against someone playing Guile who may have never played Street Fighter before in they're life....that was painful to watch (hop scotch over the head taunt to a super) Quote
Warmaker Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Sakura's still sporting the school girl outfit? Isn't SF4 set quite a decent amount of time after SFA3? Quote
Keith Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 In a world with sausage link fingers & toes, you're worried about a sailor fuku? Quote
Isamu Starkiller Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 We haven't seen her alt outfit yet... A couple people over on the Capcom unity boards are thinking it's gonna be a gym uniform, I think we might see her sporting Karin's uniform. Guile's alt is weak, Charlies vest >.< Quote
Morpheus Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 In a world with sausage link fingers & toes, you're worried about a sailor fuku? Can I have Chun-Li in sailor fuku plz? Quote
Isamu Starkiller Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Chun Li's alt is hot! Gouki in a sailor fuku! Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 yeah, but her hand looks like it's bigger than her face! What's up with that? And it looks like she's gained some weight. And what is up with gouki? haha that just looks funny. Is that how evil sakura is gonna turn out like? Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 LOL looks like Chun Li has Ryu's hands. Quote
Isamu Starkiller Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I caught a frame of Chun Li in SSFIITHDR where she has 6 fingers! Quote
Morpheus Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Chun Li looks......fat......I lol'ed at the fat man with the camera in the backgorund. Quote
