no thanks

[WallCrawl]

I think those covers look great, but I've always been a fan of Joe Mad. I wonder what the actual art for the book will look like.

[JINoside]

I can't say for sure. But the covers look hot. Im getting it:cool:..........

[Captain America]

Oh, oh, I see Alex on the Cover :D. This is looking good!

[JINoside]

It does look good don't it. They got everybody from Alpha to Third Strike..........

[WildChild]

i can't wait Joe Mad is my fav artist and Street fight is my fav game.

[Zenien]

The art is also done by UDON adn since I'm an UDON hoar I'll be picking it up. GO STREET FIGHTER! Hopefully this comic, an actual STREET FIGHTER 4 and general interest will be enough to help capcom out of the hole.

Sakura better be in it!

[Dread]

I'll make sure to pick this up, not only because of UDON, but because I only happen to own like every Street Fighter anime every dubbed.

Personally looking foward to the Mega-Man comic more, though. This seems like G.I. JOE, a billion characters thrown into one comic, although the stars will be Ryu and Ken.

I like the Joe Mad cover the best, only because my favorite guy, Guile, is the size of a truck and is the center of it.

One more thing...

You win, a personal compliment fron The Man himself....

http://www.picturedot.com/FetchImageJPG.asp?ImageType=P&ImageFormat=H&ImageID=49934

:D. I wasn't expecting anybody to get them all. I thought for sure that if anybody would try to guess em, that they would miss Eagle and Gen:o.:cool: .........

I also like the Guile cover. He looks huge. But i like the bigger one more.....

[WallCrawl]

I would like the bigger one more if it was the image was larger. And Dread, are you sure you have all the Street Fighter anime? Even the hentai ones? :p

Actually, how many are there? The only ones I can think of are Street Fighter 2: The movie, Street Fighter: Victory the series, and Street Fighter Alpha (zero). Is there more?

[JINoside]

I also heard that they'res one for Street Fighter: Third Strike, but im not 100% sure if its true or not.....

[Dread]

Thanks for the compliment.

No, I don't have the hentai, much like with regular porno movies I find it degrading, perverted, and a bit pathetic.

But I do have any Street Fighter anime that has been dubbed. Street Fighter: The Animated Movie (which was actually the first anime I ever saw and owned), the 29 episode series Street Fighter II V (the "V" is for "victory"), and Street Fighter: Alpha (or "Zero"). I hear another Alpha movie is in the works and should be out this year or next. I was less than thrilled by the last, so, here's hoping.

[WallCrawl]

I thought those were the only three different titles that were out, I just wanted to make sure. Anyone have any more info on the upcoming second Alpha movie?

[Dark Carnage]

Yeah it left me feeling like that too.

I was just waiting and waiting for it to end. Then it finally did and I was like "huh?". After paying £18 for it on DVD and only ever watching it once I can safely say its not a favourite of mine.

*clicks bottom image for wallpaper*

[WallCrawl]

I really liked the animation style of Alpha though. I thought it was pretty sleek and nifty.

[WildChild]

I like third strike even though GUY is the best.

[JINoside]

Yeah, i hate fighting agains't him. He usually allways wins. Basterd always kicks my ass. Hes a good character to, but i like Zangief more....

[Batman23]

I cant wait for issue one of Street fighter to come out with im a huge fan. Have you guys though read the past street fighter comic they had i think it was a 8 part issue but those were so cool the fight scenes and the art that they used. Course it ended up Ryu vs. Bison at the end so i just hope this is an ongoing series and not just like 8 issues or that again

[Dread]

Eighteen pounds...in US dollars I guess that is about $36 dollars or so, yeah, a little much for that anime, I bought the VHS for about $22 dollars.

At first I looked foward to it, as the first anime where the final villain wasn't M. Bison (who, if you watch SF anime, is a fine villain but always makes the same old mistakes over and over and thus loses), but the flick felt a little flat, especially when compared to the best fighting game anime ever, which is, IMO, the Fatal Fury trilogy, which is available for dub by Viz Video. My friends and I counted about 26 shots of Chun Li's crotch or chest/rear in that anime, to boot, because it was so blatent that it was annoying. Some of the action scenes are nice, although it shows that DBZ has really influenced people. I've watched it a few times, consider it a bit average. If they had actually battled Akuma, it would have been better. Oh, well. Least he actually showed up (aside for background appearences in random episodes of Street Fighter II V).

The lack in continuity of Street Fighter anime also hurts it a little, IMO.

But that's enough of a rant from me. I'm glad that Guile seems to be a major player from the synopsis, although we all know he gets shafted in his "revenge" against Bison because Ryu's the main guy. :(

[TheCorpulent1]

Whoa, Mad actually crawled out from under his BC-avoiding rock and drew something?? I honestly never thought I'd see the day.

The first Street Fighter anime movie rocked. I got it on tape a long time ago and I still watch it every now and then. The opening sequence with Ryu and Sagat still gets me jazzed.

[Zenien]

That's the one were M. Bision kidnaps Ken isn't it?

I saw that at a friends slepover ages ago. I was like "Forget Mortal Kombat!" (it sucked as a fighting game anyway, 100 percent pallet swapping with a few combos thrown in). It seriously rocked, even with the whole "readable power level thingy that DBZ made cliche."

I've never seen ANY others...is Sakura in any decent ones? Or what are the best ones I should look for. I wanna jazz up on SF man!

http://www.picturedot.com/FetchImageJPG.asp?ImageType=P&ImageFormat=L&ImageID=57421

[Dread]

The first Street Fighter movie that a few of you mentioned is called Street Fighter: The Animated Movie, and is available for VHS and DVD. It began with a battle between Sagat and Ryu (where the former gets his scar), and indeed has a plot centering on Bison abducting and brainwashing Ken since Ryu was difficult to find. Every character from Super Street Fighter appears at least once.

Next, there is an actual Street Fighter anime series, titled Street Fighter II V, which was dubbed by Manga Video and available on VHS and DVD (10 volumes VHS). It's 29 episodes long and supposedly has some of the SF crew as teenagers, like Ken, Ryu, Chun Li, Fei Long. However, about halfway through the series it doesn't seem apparent. The series follows the friends/rivals Ryu and Ken as they travel the globe trying to learn more to become the best "street fighters" after their initial arrogance causes them to get pummeled, in seperate bouts, by Guile. Along the way they meet Chun Li, Fei Long, and some other characters, learn the basics of "hadou" as well as run afoul of a drug smuggling cartel, which soon leads to Shadowlaw, and Bison himself.

The series isn't flawless but it's good enough to keep you interested, although after the first 5 volumes the episodes seemed to make vain attempts at stretching longer, such as showing the last few minutes of a previous episode as the beginning to another, and one episode towards the end simply was a "recap". Not every character appears, and Balrog is nothing more than a "spy". Still, it boasts some decent battles (the Vega/Ken fight was quite graphic). Keep in mind, the storyline is different from the game.

Lastly, there is Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie, also available on VHS and DVD. Sakura appears in this one, as well as most of the Alpha cast, if only for a few seconds in some cases (like Rolento and Guy). The plot is a little weak and the action scenes seem inspired by DBZ, as well as a lot of pointless shots of Chun Li's clothed crotch. It focuses on Ryu supposedly going "mad" by the "Dark Hadou", and he seeks answers from Akuma, while a boy who claims to be his brother appears. It all leads to Shadowlaw with some guy in glasses seeking to become the Ultimate Fighter by draining those who come to his tournament, and he has his hulking andriod who does a lot of his fighting for him. The animation style is different from the others, with Ryu's feet seeming to swell when he charges fireballs. At first pleased that this seemed like a change of pace from Street Fighter anime (where things always lead to Bison, who always loses the same way), this movie wasn't as good as I hoped. If you're a fan, worth a look. The storyline to this one mirrors the games, somewhat. And no, they don't fight Akuma.

If you've seen the first movie, I'd recommend the series over Alpha any day. Your best bet is DVD as they have more episodes per volume than VHS.

[TheCorpulent1]

You forgot that god-awful Street Fighter cartoon series on USA a while ago. It seemed to pick up from the movie, with Ken, Ryu, Guile, and a few others all working for the same organization. It was really terrible. Inconsistent animation, stupid dialogue, and, y'know, it was based on the movie. I'm almost sorry I brought it up now . . .

[Dread]

We were discussing anime, and that's not an anime so it didn't seem relavant. Besides the fact that it sucked on all levels, and thankfully is probably unavialable anywhere except for Kazaa downloads, which'd be a waste.

[v4spidy]

Hey Dread, I own all of those anime Street Fighter episodes you mentioned on DVD. At first I got them on tape years ago, then I bought them on the 4 DVD a couple of years ago.

Sagat and Guile look so beutiful:o.......

[Dread]

Just in San Diego? That's not fair. They're making one of those "hard to get" books, too. Just release few, but not many, fanboys lap it up and soon all copies retail for 400% more than they started. Marketting is a harsh mistress.

[JINoside]

STREET FIGHTER #2

Searching for answers in the mystery of his Master's murder, Ryu begins to find them in a vision from his past, leading him to return with Ken to their old training grounds in Japan, where Ryu is tormented by painful dreams and memories of Master Gouken's death that trigger a darkness and rage he never knew he possessed. Meanwhile, Chun-Li and Guile, realizing that they have a common enemy in Shadaloo, form an alliance to uncover what connection Ryu could possibly have with M. Bison. Plus: An action-packed backup story by Adam Warren pitting Street Fighter's two leading ladies against each other. Chun-Li vs. Cammy.

The Ken covers beutiful. By the looks of the fire twirling from his side and ending on his back, it looks like hes doing the Super Combo:D........

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't really think I'd ever read a Street Fighter comic. It's basically just the game put onto pages with pre-determined outcomes for every fight. If I wanted to see the characters fighting each other that badly, I think I'd just play the game. It's interactive.

Stories for SF seem to work better in movie format. The cartoons and comics seem to either draw things out or rely on really bad plot devices.

[Ray-Man]

But the art looks good...:o :D

[TheCorpulent1]

That it does, that it does. Very smooth.

[BlackSymbiote]

Yeah buddy. All I need now is a Mortal Kombat series (not the Malibu one) and I'm good.

Dreamwave is going to release a Darkstalkers, Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Rival Schools, and one other I can't think of. I post this only for those who might want to check them out.

[Batman23]

I was at the Comic Con in San diego and picked up issue #0 of Street Fighter and even got it signed. Its really good i loved it i cant wait for the 1st issue to come out. I will inform you people that basically issue 0 has Ryu practicing and faces his evil self wich he doenst do good but then Ryu wakes up it was just a dream. Ryu then hears his master call and Ryu goes to check and when he goes in his master is sitting up against a wall with blood everywhere on the wall and blood all over the master. Thats how it ends going in to issue # 1 it was great.

[JINoside]

Woow, cool. But thats almost just like the begining from Alpha right?......

[Zenien]

I'm picking this up MAYBE (if it's cheap enough).

But yeah, it does remind of the beggining of SF: Alpha. Maybe it's mean't to be a retelling in comic format or some such?

[Batman23]

I think this is originally how the story is in Streetfighter with Ryu seeking revenge on M. Bison for killing his master. There will be a tournament and i just know that Ryu will kick some major butt.

[JINoside]

Bison killing his master?. I thought it was Akuma who did that?.........

[Zenien]

You can thank me later JIN:p

Dam Zen That site is so cool. It has the old sound effects and a hot as hell intro. Thanks alot:)...

________________
BackGround info On Street Fighter
Capcom first released Street Fighter as a 2-D game which pits fighters against each other. The original version of the game featured three characters, Ryu, Ken and Sagat, which later became part of the phenomenal success of Street Fighter II the world over. Other characters include Adon, the self-proclaimed “God of Muay Thai” and former pupil of Sagat; wily assassin and fighting legend Gen and his son Lee; British Secret Service officer Eagle; Japanese ninja master Geki; Birdie, who is part of M. Bison’s Shadaloo organization; U.S. kickboxer Joe; former professional boxer Mike and Retsu, who, like Ryu and Ken, is also trained by Gouken.

Street Fighter II introduced popular exponents like Bison; masked fighter Vega; sumo wrestler E. Honda; Indian monk and yoga master Dhalsim; former championship boxer and member of Bison’s Shadaloo Balrog; mutated green beast from the jungles of Brazil Blanka; Russian “Red Cyclone” Zangief and pitted them against the likes of Ryu, Ken, Guile, Chun Li and Sagat.

[i]Interview between ComiXtreme’s (http://www.comixtreme.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3116) Tom Toner and UDON's head chief, Erik Ko.

Tom Toner: Whose idea was it first to do Street Fighter and where did it originate?

Erik Ko: Almost all of the UDON members are big Capcom fans. And Street Fighter is the most prominent Capcom property! We have been wanting to do a Street Fighter comic book series a long time ago! We have talked with a few different people but nothing ever happen. Finally, last year, there is this chance for us to actually made a deal directly with Capcom. We discussed about it internally here in UDON and feel that if we do not take it, we will be regretting it for the rest of our lives. So we go for it!

TT: How close will the ties be from this Street Fighter and the comics and cartoons that came out in the past?

EK: It will be totally not related to the previous movie and comic continuity. Our story is based on what the game continuity is, with some tweaking to link the events together. Our goal is to stay as close to the game history as possible.

TT: I see you’ve got three (Alvin Lee, Arnold Tsang, and Andrew Hou) wonderful artists to do the art. How about will these three rotate the art chores?

EK: Actually, the three are doing the art together! Alvin and Arnold is doing the pencils and inks together, and Arnold and Andrew will be coloring the pages. So this is a combined effort instead of a rotating chore.

TT: Talking about characters, not every character out there is M. Bison, Ryu, Ken, etc. Will many of the lesser-known characters (ex. Cammy, T-Hawk, Sakura, etc) have a part in the comic?

EK: Our book is an ongoing monthly series. Every character will sooner or later shows up in the story. We just have to do it so that it makes sense. The characters should show up at the right time at the right place. We cannot just pop Blanka up in say Japan and just make some excuse why he is there. We want a natural progression on the story rather then forcing things together. So if your favorite character hasn’t shown up in the first few issues, just hang in there. I promise we will work in all the characters in the long run.

TT: Will this be a mini-series or an ongoing and how many issues will it run?

EK: This is an on-going monthly title. We would definitely want to run it forever as long as the readers are buying! There are so many stories to tell with over 40 characters in the Street Fighter universe!

[TheCorpulent1]

Has anyone else noticed that a "Ryu training" scene has become obligatory in everything SF-related? I don't remember the last time anything's happened for Street Fighter without a quick break to watch Ryu train.

[JINoside]

So true. In the games also, like in Street Fighter EX2 and 3, hes shown training. Not to mention the movies also. Doesn't bother seeing it to much though, i mean, hes one of the most popular Street Fighter character out there.....they're just showing him off:o........

[BaughProduction]

don't anyone dare insult the game movies. I love those movies.
And about Mario, that was the PREQUEL to the game!!!!!!!!
Officially it is. And so was street Fighter.

[Zenien]

Mario?

[TheCorpulent1]

That Sagat picture is awesome beyond words . . .

[JINoside]

Hell yeah, he looks so kick ass. I think hes drawn very well. Especially by the over sized calves. Aside from Me though, is anybody even thinking on getting this?..

It could be made in to an on-goin series if it sells well, which hopefully would. I want to see more 'obscoure' Street Fighters like the ones from Third Strike since by the looks of things, there in the same time line as everybody else.....

[Batman23]

Why would it be Akuma to kill Ryus master it wouldnt make sense.

[Captain America]

That art is beyond beautiful.. :eek:

From this Street Fighter comic I had I was under the impresssion that bison killed Ryu and Ken's master.

[Batman23]

No bison never killed Ryu and Ken and Ryu both have the same master.

[JINoside]

Hhhmm......well, in the Street Fighter bios for Akuma and in the Alpha movie they said that Akuma had killed Gouken, there Master, using the 'Forbiden Technique'. I guess hes talking about the Shin Gouku-Satsu(sp?).......

The comic I had was made prior to the release of any of the Alpha games, so I guess they changed the story around.

[TheCorpulent1]

So if Akuma killed Ken and Ryu's master, why were they all hardcore into kicking Bison's ass?

[Dread]

Because Bison usually tries to enlist them in his schemes to take over the world with his organization "Shadowlaw", which runs acts of terrorism, weapons and drugs trafficing, and, as one person put it, "just about anything that is illegal." He tends to brainwash people who refuse.

WHY? Who knows. Bison's just obsessed with power. At heart a flat villain. Although in the anime "Street Fighter II V" Bison claimed that Shadowlaw wanted to destroy the governments of Earth that were destroying the planet with pollution and "petty wars with each other". Seems kind of hypocritical to me, and the notion that one can have an unstoppable, world smashing army so long as you have enough karate men that shoot fireballs from their palms is a little weak, but...:rolleyes:

Well, Ryu beats up on a good deal of regular people pretty viciously throughout the Street Fighter II movie. Although I don't see how all the karate men in the world are gonna stand up to tanks and missiles.

[Batman23]

There doing the street fighter comics based off the games it has nothing to do with the movies. The games is where Street Fighter began. See the storys get changed around cause the old street fighter comics i had that went up to only 8 issues had it bison killing Ryu's master. Even if it was Akuma Ryu would still go after M. Bison after Akuma.Still got one more month then the first issue comes out cant wait after reading issue #0

[Unthinkable]

That's nice but... when does it come out.

[Spectre722]

i just got the preview magazine with a new gamepro magazine and damn does that art look good!

I'm gonna have to try to find a copy. I heard that Joe Mad will be doing some interior art work...finally :o

[WildChild]

I really hope this becomes an ongoin series so other fighters can have story arcs.It would be amazing imagine seeing a story arc with Sean Yun & Yang fighting together and acting like yungins.Or Guy and Cody fighting together again in the streets of metro city.I am defintly picking this title up every month.

But their investigation is abruptly interrupted when a ghost from Guile's past re-emerges.

You can't get Street Fighter #0 in any stores, unless they themselves went to the San Diego Convention and got it for sale. But thats illegal. Other than that, you could only get it through Ebay:o.....

STREET FIGHTER SELLS OUT

Image Comics on Wednesday announced that Diamond has completely sold out of Street Fighter #1 by Ken Siu-Chong, Alvin Lee, Arnold Tsang and Andrew Hou two weeks prior to its in-store date of Sept. 4.

A second printing of Street Fighter #1 has already been scheduled and will be in stores Sept. 10. The second printing is available for order now.

"I think it's safe to say that many retailers underestimated the demand for the all-new Street Fighter," said Image director of marketing Eric Stephenson. "Since Street Figher #0 debuted at Comic-Con International in San Diego last month, though, there's been a huge swell of interest in this title. People want this book."

Street Figher #1 was originally solicited with three covers: Cover A by Joe Madureira, Cover B by Arnold Tsang and Cover C by Jo Chen. In addition to the variant covers, Street Figher #1 also includes a bonus prequel story by Madureira.

"We want to make sure that everyone that wants a Street Fighter comic book will have the opportunity to get one, and so have gone back to print right away, in an effort to make the second printing available as quickly as possible," said Erik Ko, chief of operations of UDON.

Stephenson was also quick to point out that while Street Figher has its roots in the '80s, it's appeal is not nostalgia based.

"I don't think there's anything 'retro' about Street Figher, because unlike the many '80s properties that have experienced a resurgence over the last couple years, Street Figher has remained an ongoing concern," he said. "People are still playing the video game and there's still an interest in the incredibly rich world these characters exist in. This is book very firmly rooted in the 'now.'"

The Concept Of Street Fighter

In the universe of Street Fighter, fighters of every size, shape and color collide in a global battle for supremacy. From every corner of the world, martial artists, boxers, wrestlers and fighters of every conceivable sort perform superhuman acts in their willing (or unwilling) participation in the Street Fighter Tournament-the contest being hosted by M. Bison, the sadistic dictator and leader of the underground Shadaloo Criminal Organization. Some contestants fight for reasons as diverse as their nationalities... some fight for money, answers, or vengeance, while others fight for reasons completely shrouded in mystery...

Street Fighter, the legendary franchise by Capcom that revolutionized gaming and entertained players and fans for over a decade with its unforgettable cast of World Warriors, finally hits the printed page with every pulse-pounding Dragon Punch and bone-crushing Sonic Boom intact, just like it was meant to be!...

[MC-117]

[MasterBates]

Awesome art. Good story.

Street Fighter #1 was great!!!

Hell, Balrog was in it!

Now as long as he whoops some ass....everything will be ok.

:)

[Jehuty]

Yea #1 was pretty good i just cant wait untill akuma shows up.

[WildChild]

How did you get your hands on it ,its only been out for like 2 days and they are already sold out.

[Rukus]

Yeah it's a pretty good issue, the art looks great. I can't wait to see some of the other characters show up in the book.

[MasterBates]

I had my dealer put it on hold for me like a good little boy.

[Batman23]

[Batman23]

issue 0 is good to though it sets everything up for the first one but i cant wait tomorrow i finally get it :)

[v4spidy]

I wish there was a way to find #0 at a comic shop around here because I didn't go to San Diego.:(

However I did pick up #1 yesterday, and I must say that they hit the story on the nail.

The art is flawless!! Can't wait for #2!!

BTW, I just got the October issue of Gamepro, which has an exclusive 4-page story of the Street Fighter comic leading to #2.

If no one has had a chance to read it then I will scan it on here tomorrow.

[Unthinkable]

Best art I've seen in a while... Bought it too of course.... Hope Ken gets some more action.

Yeah that 4 page story in Gamepro was pretty cool.

[Batman23]

Just got issue 1 today and i loved it the art was just great and the story is just like how i know it. I even like how they show the fight between Ryu vs. Sagat along time ago when Ryu gave Sagat the scar that was cool.

[Jehuty]

I wish they showed it like it was in the movie, now that was awsome.

[WildChild]

The animated verion where ryu and sagat fought in the feild and ryu gave him a dragon punch splitting open his chest?

[Batman23]

the comic showed tons of blood open up after Ryu doing the dragon uppercut on sagat :) I never knew that move cut you that bad couldnt they make the street fighter games with blood to make it more real.

[WildChild]

MUST HAVE NOW!!!

[OtepApe]

So for those who got issue #1 what cover are you gonna get if/when you purchase issue #2? I think i'll get the one with chun li and cammy on the font.

[Ray-Man]

I got the Joe Mad cover...thats the one that was put in my file...:)

[Batman23]

Im going to get the cover with chun li and guile on it to

[Rukus]

I think i'm going to get the cover where theres a lot of characters on the cover. The one with Zangief and Blanka in the background.

Great News!!!

Street Fighter sells out!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Image Announces Second Printing

Image Comics has announced that Diamond has completely sold out of Street Fighter #1 by Ken Siu-Chong, Alvin Lee, Arnold Tsang and Andrew Hou. two weeks prior to its in-store date in September.

A second printing of Street Fighter #1 has already been scheduled and will be in stores late September.

"I think it's safe to say that many retailers underestimated the demand for the all-new Street Fighter," said Image Director of Marketing Eric Stephenson. "Since Street Fighter #0 debuted at Comic-Con International in San Diego last month, though, there's been a huge swell of interest in this title. People want this book."

Street Fighter #1 was originally solicited with three covers: Cover A by Joe Madureira, Cover B by Arnold Tsang and Cover C by Jo Chen. In addition to the variant covers,Street Fighter #1 also includes a bonus prequel story by fan-favorite artists Joe Madureira, perhaps best known for his creator-owned series, Battle Chasers.

"We want to make sure that everyone that wants a Street Fighter comic book will have the opportunity to get one, and so have gone back to print right away, in an effort to make the second printing available as quickly as possible," said Erik Ko, Chief of Operations of UDON.

Stephenson was also quick to point out that while Street Fighter has its roots in the '80s, it's appeal is not nostalgia based.

"I don't think there's anything 'retro' about Street Fighter, because unlike the many '80s properties that have experienced a resurgence over the last couple years, Street Fighter has remained an ongoing concern," he said. "People are still playing the video game and there's still an interest in the incredibly rich world these characters exist in. This is book very firmly rooted in the 'now.'"

With that in mind, Stephenson and Ko are both urging retailers to double-check their orders and place advance reorders for Street Fighter #2, which Stephenson predicted would be an "instant sell out."

"The number of retailers that have approached us saying they've been looking at doubling, tripling and even quadrupling their orders makes us think that we should be very aggressive," Ko added. "Our next job will be letting all the retailers know that we are still going to have copies of Street Fighter #1 available to meet demand and urge them to increase orders for issue #2, if possible, to accommodate demand."

Street Fighter #2 also features three covers: Cover A by Arnold Tsang, Cover B by Adam Warren and Cover C by J. Scott Campbell. Adam Warren also contributes an action-packed backup story pitting Street Fighter's two leading ladies—Chun-Li and Cammy—against one another.

Street Fighter #2 is available for order now in the August issue of Previews and will go on sale in October.

----------------------------------------------------------
I'm gonna call my local comic store now and reserve the reprinting of issue 1# and issue #2.

[Petey Parker]

My copy of issue 0 (the DF Joe Mad Sketch cover version) came in the mail today. It was pretty sweet. I wish the story was a little longer though but it was cool to see Evil Ryu in there

[OtepApe]

Yeah, I just got #0 and thought it was pretty cool when you know who showed up. I am very surprised I got it over here coz comic shops in the UK arent that good.

Surprisingly enough, I found it in a Sci-Fi stall in the market. The surprise being that I thought they had stopped selling comics all together.

I got mines early in the day, along with a few other tittles. It was a pretty big day for Comics because of JLA/Avengers and all:o. BTW, Did you finally get #1?...

Well, thing is; Sagat didn't have a shirt on and this wasn't a Regurlar Dragon Punch, it was the Super Version. The Shin- Shoryuken(sp?). You could see his fists charge up before he connects to...

Alpha 3 has Some blood in it and they vomit to, but in order for that to happen you would have to smack your opponent quite a bit...

Woow, really!. Cool man, you could host it at Picturedot.com (http://www.picturedot.com/default.asp). You could create a Free Account, and get a link to post it:)......

[v4spidy]

Thanx,....I'll try posting them tomorrow.

In the mean time............here is some major, MAJOR spoiler info on the back story of #2. It includes the fight between Cammy and Chun Li.

Here goes:


The fight takes place when Chun Li is very young and she tries to help her father, who's being attacked by Bison.

Before she can get to him, Cammy, who is at this point brainwashed, steps in the way and starts attacking her. The fight looks really good and is said to be 4 pages long. It's a short battle, but there is alot of action in that time.

The art looks different from the last back story, but fight is awesome!!!

Here are some pics:

I'm almost sorry I brought it up now . . . don't be corp i'd like to see that series and judge for myselt to tell the truth

[SLYspyda]

woohoo, thank goodness i stumbled across this thread a couple of weeks ago, i wouldve never figured out my all-time favorite fighting game had a comic book, i was able to get the good covers on both Sf#1 and sf#2

[JINoside]

Very Sad to say, but unfortunately the comic shop nearest and most convenient to me just decided to cancel getting Street Fighter. Very stupid. Especialy the reason he used, "I don't think it will sell. I only try to buy things that i think will sell". Woow, i just stood quiet when i heard that...

So basically, to put it into small words, i don't have #2:o. I would subscribe to, but i don't think Image does that sort of thing. Do they?. Guess its Ebay for me:o....

[Shockdingo]

Thanks for the pics! I've noticed something I actually think Charlie's popularity is on the rise he's been in all but one of the Vs(Capcom and Marvel) games in one form or another, he was a main character in Cannon Spike(a shooting game with Cammy Mega man etc.) and before the game got cancelled he was going to be in Capcom Fighting All Stars ^_^

Oh does anyone know of a good Street Fighter fan page? All I can find are just old sites just having move lists -_-

[Shockdingo]

Yea my sister was the first of us to pull off his SKullo Dream and Skullo dream final, he shouldn't be wasted, but he might not be big in america cause unlike Asia they're not big on Senta/Henshin super hero guys like Kamen Rider :\

Hey, Dan rules man!!:D. He was made to make fun of SNK's Ryo, Robert Garcia and Yuri. I always liked Dan. Such an oppressed character. Everybody that plays Street Fighter just hates the guy, especially and mostly for his Fireball. I still love him though. Hes The Man...

Yaay, 150 posts and 7th page. Looking good:cool:.....

Does anyone find it weird that Ken's supposed strength was the Shoryuken and he made his own, the "Shinryuken"? Yet anyone remember back in the days of SF2, in the Championship Edition booklet, it said that Ryu had mastered the "Dragon Punch" (And even said about having to get past his Dragon Punch to defeat him, at the end of the fight) and the "Hurricane Kick" and Ken was the one who still had to learn control his moves.

Why did they flip it around and give Ken the flaming "Dragon Punch"?

[Shockdingo]

That is weird
Rob Van Dam should be Dan! He's got the look, he one of my fav wrestlers and Dan is one of my fav characters lol

Ryu did master the "Shoryuken" Dragon Punch, but that's not his strength. His strength is in his "Hadoken" Fireball technique.

Ken and Ryu had no specific strengths in SF II World Warriors of The Championship Edition because they were both identical in their techniques.

Their strengths didn't become apparent until Hyper Fighting, where Ryu and Ken had refinements in techniques. Ken had a Dragon Punch that could reach far distances, and his Hurrican Kick, as well as other techniques were faster and more fierce.

Ryu on the other hand, had a Fireball that was faster and could travel a longer distance than Ken's. He could also control the speed of the fireball. All of his other moves were unchanged except for the fact that they were more concentrated than Ken's and had more impact upon each blow.

When Super Street Fighter II came along, Capcom USA made it known that Ken had perfected his Dragon Punch, which now had flames, while Ryu had perfected his Fireball, which could now put someone in flames.

So Ken's strength being his Dragon Punch isn't really off, because it IS his strength. Ryu's is the Fireball.

sakura's head on that last cover is gonna prvent me from getting that cover, i'll go with the one with ryu, ken and akuma on it.

the reason why i like EX3 so much is because it's in 3d, hopefully, ex4 will be out on gamecube soon, i have cap vs. snk on GC tho, and i love it, especially the controls

Same here. Although i really want the Akuma solo one, i doubt i'll be able to get that one. I guess i would have to go for the same one....

Oh, we'll then i just know you would have Loved Capcom Fighting All Stars (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/capcomfightingallstars/screenindex.html). To bad it was canned:o:(. I would have Loved to play with Charlie in 3D. I have C vs S for Dreamcast, the controls are good to though it takes getting used to....

[Batman23]

These street fighter comics are so great i love them i really cant wait to see that battle with ryu vs. akuma if i was akuma i would watch out Ryu is going to be pissed off. Vega got his ass kicked by ken in this latest issue he will learn not to mess with kens girl. Somehow still thought its going to end up Ryu battling Bison and more then likly being the one that can stop him.

[v4spidy]

Ken's girl is HOT!!!!!!

I'll miis All stars, it looked like it could of been great

[Dark Carnage]

I went into the only comic place in my town and they sold out!:mad:

He told me Hulk: Gray - Saturday, then Streetfighter #3 on the next shipment. But it was the other way around, so when I went in yesterday, they had all gone!:mad::(

He only got half the shipment so some more should turn up... they better!:mad:

[OtepApe]

Dude that was harsh.

[spiderbob]

Okay, unfortunately for me I've only been able to get my hands on issues one and two so far but I'm really liking the series so far. The art is amazing and there are so many stories in the book that it makes me wish the book had more pages in it. A few questions before I go. First off I should state that I'm a complete newbie to the StreetFighter world. I played (and beat) the Street Fighter II video game for Super Nintendo but that's it, and only picked up the two issues cause I liked the cover art, but now I'm hooked. Now to the questions. How many issues are in this series? Also, at what point does this series take place in the Street Fighter world, because my friend says that Chun Li and Ryu are an item yet in the series they haven't even met. Also, can anyone post more preview pages of issues three and four or tell me a site where I can find out more on this series? Thanks.

[Dark Carnage]

I personally can't answer those questions, but www.streetfightercomics.com might have some info about it.

Well I finally got Issue #3, however, it was the the Bison foil cover. Which was the only one left, and to my surprise cost 5 times more than the usual ones.:eek:

[Shockdingo]

Call me psycho(go ahead doo it heheHe) but I never really felt Chunli and Ryu would hook up, he's too focused on fighting, for some weird abstract reason I always put Charlie and Chunli together, it would always be like "click, choose, load bios dude, run" I dunno

[the_ultimate_evil]

ok how often does this come out, i managed to got isssue 1 today and love the style and art

[Dark Carnage]

Once a month.

And dais, are you ahead or soemthing, because Ryu and Chun Li didn't even meet in issue 3.

[Shockdingo]

yea I know, I was just refering to all the other stuff :D hehehe

[SLYspyda]

****in issue 4 came out last week and its already sold out, i have to go on ebay again, sigh

charlie and chun li? in hs dreams is the only place charlie will ever get chun li, even guile has a better chance.

ryu and chunli are an item, the ideal couple spiderbob, thats something we'll definitely see in the series, i'm looking forward to the scene they meet.

[SLYspyda]

wait a sec, is issue 4 even out?

[Dark Carnage]

Not for me at least.:confused:

[OtepApe]

Issue 4 is not out yet, issue 3 is. At least it better not be out. I don't think it is though.

[spiderbob]

It's out. I bought issue three today. Very nice. Can't wait till issue four comes out.

[spiderbob]

Just for the hell of it, I took the time to organize all of the stuff. Here it is.

With all the characters that were supposed to appear like Strider, Haggar(From Final Fight) and Charlie; I'm sure it would have been a blast!....

I'll try some....
1]When the series first started it was aimed at 12 issues, and if sales go well, which they are, it will be turned into an ongoin series. So basically, its an Ongion series.
2]It depends on what series hes talking about. If its the series that was given in the USA Network, then it doesn't matter since that was poop. They met in Street Fighter:V though. It seems to be set in a time period where everybody from the Street Fighter universe coexsist at the same time..

DEVIL'S DUE / UDON DEAL

As announced earlier this week, Devil’s Due continues to collect studios in its new publishing venture, this time, welcoming Udon, and its serious buzz property, Street Fighter to the fold. For more on the whys and wherefores of the deal, we spoke with the respective studio heads, Joshua Blaylock and Erik Ko.

The move continues to rachet Devil's Due's profile up, adding Street Figher to a lineup that inlcludes G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Voltron, The Hedge Knight, and Dragonlance.

From the outset, Blaylock explained, the relationship didn’t require any headhunting at all on Devil’s Due’s part. ”Udon had decided they were going to leave Image and either work out a deal elsewhere, or self publish,” Blaylock said. “Fortunately, we were the ‘elsewhere.’

“Erik Ko and I have known each other for a couple of years now, and he's always been a very great guy to work with. Angelo Tsang at Udon colors my Misplaced comic book, and Erik has overseen a few other coloring gigs from us as well. He understands the importance of a deadline, and will always get the book to the printer. Not to mention the guys at Udon produce some killer work.”

The reason Udon was looking to move on? The ability, basically, to let people know that Udon’s stuff was…Udon’s stuff.

“The main reason for this strategy is to improve our company’s branding,” Ko explained. “Udon really needed flexibility in this area to make sure that the various products offered to our fans were clearly marketed as ‘Udon Entertainment.’ Because of the variety of licensed items we generate, we needed fans to identify exclusively with the Udon brand and avoid unnecessary confusion.”

Ko said that the distinction is not just academic – comics are only a part of Udon’s offering – the studio produces, among other products, busts, statues, calendars, and posters. “These items, especially the licensed properties, require aggressive marketing,” Ko said. “Peripheral interest is not going to sell product if the marketing is primarily focused on just comic books.”

That said, Ko stressed the importance of something Blaylock said would be standard operating procedure for any book or studio under Devil’s Due – their own logo and branding. The ability to market oneself to potential readers, vendors and distributors is chief especially in a market with hundreds of small publishers, each vying for attention. Under Devil’s Due, Street Fighter for example, will have Udon’s name and graphic in the upper left corner, not the Image I.

“Name recognition in this industry is extremely important,” Ko explained. “Only after you build a solid brand can you think of actively cross selling. Obviously, another benefit to being an autonomous player is that there is less division of any profit Udon might make from its sales. By controlling our own marketing and branding, we don’t need to pay somebody else to do it on our behalf.”

And Ko found everything that Udon was looking for in Devil’s Due.

“Devil’s Due is a young dynamic company that can relate to the growth of Udon,” Ko said. “We both were smaller companies with huge ambitions. We understand each other. This partnership is more peer based. No one is a bigger entity throwing its weight around saying, ‘We can’t,’ ‘We could if,’ ‘Why do you?,’ and ‘Why don’t you?’ In this relationship, no one can force a move from the other one. Equality and compromise are central components in any relationship, more so in a business setting.

“Devil’s Due also has an understanding of a cooperative market place. Companies today sometimes have to be able to work together for a positive outcome. They also understand product diversity and have the ability to market at a grass roots level.”

On the Devil’s Due side, while it may appear to the contrary at times, given that shortly after splitting form Image, Devil’s Due has been joined by two of the larger studios that used to call Image home as well, the new publisher isn’t out to pull in every comic under the sun, but, Blaylock said, it is interested in making quality acquisitions and alliances for strong comic properties.

“We've had a lot of people approach us about moving from their current publisher to Devil' s Due, and we haven't been able to work with everyone, but I think by April people will be surprised at just how big we've become, without overextending ourselves,” Blaylock said. “The Dabel Brothers [publishers of The Hedge Knight and Dragonlance], who joined us last month, had some major offers from other companies, and we're really psyched that they chose us. Udon is one more partnership that will strengthen us, and add to the stable of kick ass comics coming from Devil's Due.”

However, Blaylock does acknowledge that right now, all the kick ass comics coming from Devil’s Due are licensed properties which have certain risks and benefits that separate them from creator, or studio-owned books.

“What you're seeing there is part of the big picture I'm working on,” Blaylock said. “At first, we're really focusing on producing the strongest licensed comics possible - keeping the creator owned titles to a minimum as we build a
strong standing in the community. In the latter half of 2004, you can look for more company owned work to appear. By mid 2005, Devil's Due will have a strong core of books developed from within the studio. I have those indy comics artist alley roots - you know I have to bring in the creator owned work eventually.”

Growth of the publishing side of things is something Blaylock is keeping an eye on, as it’s something where a few too many additions could quickly overwhelm the Devil’s Due staff.

“By late spring we'll be up to about 15 books, plus posters and merchandise,” Blaylock said. “With the highly capable studios we've signed, it's not a strain on our resources by any means. We're able to work with them on a case by case basis, and do what we can to make sure each book is promoted to the fullest extent. By allowing studios to promote themselves and their ‘brand,’ it frees us up to promote in other ways. If other opportunities arrive that are too good to pass up but require more employees, we'll evaluate the situation, and decide if it's necessary to expand the staff - but that's something I've very careful about, until these books start bringing in the benjamins.”

DEVIL'S DUE AND UDON MAKE IT OFFICIAL
Press Release

Beginning March 2004 Udon Entertainment will collaborate with newly minted publishing powerhouse Devil's Due Publishing Inc. The first project launched in this new and exciting relationship will be the Street fighter Trade Paperback, and a related poster and limited edition Busts.

As most comic aficionados know, Devil's Due Publishing has taken the essential steps to become an autonomous and self-managing publisher as of January 2004. Devil's Due is a licensee, a creative art house and now publisher, producing monthly titles such as various G.I. Joe series, Voltron, Micronauts, Kore, Misplaced, and more. Devil's Due is also assisting the production of Dragon Lance, the much-anticipated project by the Dabel Brothers (formerly Roaring Studios). Josh Blaylock, president of Devil's Due is enthusiastic about the partnership saying, "Devil's Due has recently started a fresh chapter in its history, and we are happy to bring these likeminded partners along for the ride. We are confident in our future, having worked hard with limited support. As a new publisher, we are just happy that a company like Udon would trust us with their projects, and we'll do everything possible to make this relationship a positive one".

Udon Entertainment is an art collective responsible for the revitalization of Street fighter, the comic book. Eric Ko, president of Udon, has overseen projects such as Sentinel, Battle of the Planets and Robotech comments, "Partnering and publishing with a company that understands where I'm coming from is important. Many companies travel in parallel trajectories and it is nice to have our company's needs understood. Our fans, especially those that follow the Street Fighter series, have many high expectations. I expect great things from this relationship with Devil's Due."

Products and merchandise may be purchased at www.devilsdue.net or ask for them at your local comic book retailer.

Same here.:)
Love how badass they always manage to make everyone look. Vega in the trenchcoat with the Matrix style look, Sagat in the more street looking boxing robe(or it could just be a hooded trenchcoat)...Or I could just be a tad biased because they're my two favorite characters.:D

Anyway, Charlie kicked ass, and can't wait to see Sagat hand Ry his as well(Hey, he's one pissed bastard. He's probably been training even harder than Ryu has. I've always thought if they had a rematch that Sagat would beat the crap out of him for that defeat).:D

[JINoside]

Hey, your getting SF comics to Bryan?! Cool:D....

It's no Biase Savage, they do look kick ass. The artists at Udon are really talented and have had a great impression on me since the first time i got to see their work on Deadpool(R.I.P:(). Ever since then i've been impressed with the way they draw each character, its a Unique art style IMO. The Pencils and colors used are much more different than those seen regurlaly in other Titles...

I really Can't wait till the next issue. Sagat's my favorite SF Villain and i know how badly his prides been hurt so i really wish he crushes Ryu. I agree also, Sagat just looked So badass in the Boxing Robe it wasn't even funny. I just gawked at page for minutes:o.....

[Savage]

Same here man. Same here.:)

[Rukus]

Yeah Sagat looked awesome on that last page. I really hope he gives Ryu a good beat down in the next issue. Like Savage said I always thought that there rematch should have Sagat win the fight.

It's no Biase Savage, they do look kick ass. The artists at Udon are really talented and have had a great impression on me since the first time i got to see their work on Deadpool(R.I.P:(). Ever since then i've been impressed with the way they draw each character, its a Unique art style IMO. The Pencils and colors used are much more different than those seen regurlaly in other Titles...

I really Can't wait till the next issue. Sagat's my favorite SF Villain and i know how badly his prides been hurt so i really wish he crushes Ryu. I agree also, Sagat just looked So badass in the Boxing Robe it wasn't even funny. I just gawked at page for minutes:o..... Hell yea man!:D I'm really impressed with this title and I hope it lasts a long time:D

[Shockdingo]

me too I've been hearing how awesome this whole series is! I gotta get a subscription soon. I mean how awesome is it to get their key moves right?! It's utter coolness :)

[3dman27]

i don't think image offers subscriptions i looked on their website and couldn't find ani subscription info

[spiderbob]

As cool as Sagat looked, I'm sticking with Ryu. He's my fave. Plus, if Sagat started to get a big lead Ken would step in to save his buddy. Remember, he's still there. I'm looking forward to Bison laying the smack down (slap me if I ever use that term again) on Chun-Li and Gulie. Plus, I think Vega is suppossed to be going after Killer Bee or something like that. Great issue four, just wish they were longer!! Charlie kicked major ass. Chun-Li layed all those hits and he's all "miminal damage". Project Bison was working on Charlie must have been good. Can't wait for the fifth! Those are my only two complaints. Wish issues were longer and I have to wait for them to come out.

...9...99?...THAT'S CHEAPER THAN THE FREAKIN FOIL ISSUES!!!:eek: Oh so much money wasted.:(

[Savage]

Anybody else worried about the direction the series is heading? Let's take a look at the major villains in the series.
M.Bison
Akuma
Guy that's blue and red(I think...He sucks anyway)

...Then what?...resurection stories?...Do the villains narrowly escape at the ending of every arc?...Do we have to wait TEN years to finally see Bison DIE for GOOD?!?!?!?!?!:eek:

[Savage]

P.S-...Who the hell is Sawada?...I was watching the movie on DVD last night and all he ever did was pop up out of the ground out of nowhere asking random questions and picking up the phone. Then he punches a guy like twice and at the end he busts out this freakin action pose with the rest of the characters...LIKE HE MATTERS!!! So please someone explain to me who this character Sawada is. I thought he was Feilong at first but totally forgot about that after a while since it would be so stupid to just change the character's name altogether.

Oh and why make Charlie and Blanka the same person?...Were the writers THAT lazy?:confused: ...I know this belongs in the Misc. Films forum but this is the only place on the hype I can find where people actually give a damn about Street Fighter in any way.

Sawada was a character made up for the movie. And why were Charlie and Blanka the same person? Because the scriptwriters sucked. The director sucked. The entire movie stank like a pile of maggot infested aborted fetuses. That and they obviously had no respect for Street Fighter in the first place, they probably just saw it as a way to throw in another name from the game.

Yeah, i know it Is pretty cheap:(. To cheap especialy for a TPB. I hope they up the price a little or something because that really Is to cheap. They're just goin to lose So much money if that really is the final price. But hopefully it will change...

Well, the Guy in Blue/Red's name is Gill. And hes something pretty close to that of a Demi-God. He Can Ressurect himself to:D. Don't worry though, even though it doesn't seem like there is lots of villains(which there aren't) UDON has a lot of storys for the future. They are goin to focus alot on the characters history and stuff. So don't you go worrying;)....

Yaay, 200 posts! Keep it coming guys. Don't let this thread die:)...

[Shockdingo]

Btw first time on the board in awhile(had stupid problems mutter mutterr) but anyways yes according to reports they couldn't add Fei-Long to the Military or Shadaloo teams so the made Sawada
The Blanka-Charlie thing is a lot older than the movie, for some reason even AFTER beating the game with Blanka people thought he was turned into Blanka.

Yea Ol' Chuck is American....Blanka is Brazilian. Lol two of my fav characters are thought to be one person.

Oh on the old SF: Cartoon series(I kinda liked it so sue me :P) they kept adding little hints and such that he was charlie till he changed back into him in an episode. He was a darker color and had different hair but they gave him the Jacket!!!! It was only green. And in a flashback they showed him being forced to become Blanka. They should make a joke about it in the new SF comic :)

[Captain Bryan]

Hmm. Makes sense.:)
But it's still messed up the way even in the games the story is switched around all of a sudden to two seperate characters. Guess they needed an excuse to have Blanka in the Alpha series. It's said that Blanka transformed on his own somehow from a boy up while living in the jungles of Brazil on his own after a place crash(he's basicly a Tarzan rip-off). But, who knows anymore. It could really be Shadaloo for all we know.

[Unthinkable]

I didn't see a preview for March, what's up with that?

[JINoside]

Preview for March?. You mean the Solicitations preview or a preview for the March issue of Street Fighter?:confused:....

[SLYspyda]

this comic is too awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
shinkiro owns on the TPB cover, cammy is losing smokin. and chun-li's face is so beautiful!!! i want that cover on a regular comic!
anywayz, aside from the nice chun-li ass shots, there are other things i like about the comic. the way everything fits together nicely, and it's fast paced, but it doesnt seem like it's put out in a rush, if you can understand that.

i loved seeing chun-li do her little down and kick moves then doing her super combo move on charlie.
the scene with dan and sakura was just perfect, it's so true, dan gets his ass whooped by all in the games and they brought it into the comics.
man, if guile and chunli are having problems with charlie, they're definitely gonna get whooped by bison, badly.
can't wait to see the upcoming battles with ryu, sagat, ken, bison, guile and chun-li.

Next issue, Chun Li and Gulie do in fact, get their asses kicked. Charlie tries to escape and gets his ass kicked. And Ryu and Sagat have a big fight while Sakura continues her search for Ryu.

my source is the site that JINoside mentioned on page 8. if you look at the glimpses in the little boxy thingermabob, you see spoilers. tis cool.

here it is http://www.streetfightercomics.com/Issues/

[CantThinkOfAName]

Why do they make three covers for each issue?:confused:

[3dman27]

maybe two are alternate covers incas the first is rejected makes sense to me

[JINoside]

If i remenber right, they make two varaint covers using a regurlar artist and the guest artist. And a Special Power foil cover. Its to increase the chances for people to get them and collect. But im not sure if it will stay like that forever because i remenber reading somewhere that they will eventually stop making so many cover variants......

ComicsOne Announces- SNK vs. Capcom:CHAOS Graphic Novel


Today, ComicsOne – the single procurer of Hong Kong Kung Fu Comics in the United States has announced that April 2004 will see the release of SVC Chaos the graphic novel. This is the comic adaptation of the soon-to-be released video game by SNK Corp. and Capcom, two heavy-hitters within the video game industry!

Here’s a brief glimpse of what’s to come –

There exists a limbo realm where the cost of admission is death! Here a new battlefield is populated by the most powerful and fearsome martial artists the world has ever known. Time holds little importance as fighters from many eras and periods of history, living or hence deceased share the same timeline. This is the playing field for SNK vs. Capcom. This is...SVC Chaos!

SVC Chaos draws on characters from the world’s three most popular fighting game series - Street Fighter, King of Fighters and SNK vs. Capcom. Capcom’s fierce cast of martial artists face off against SNK’s legendary masters. All your favorite players are here; Vega, Mai Shiranui, Demitri - the Vampire, Chun Li, Guile, Akuma, the mysterious Mr. Karate and others have all gathered for reasons yet to be revealed. Witness explosive battles between Ryu and Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard vs. M. Bison, Iori vs. Balrog and many more seemingly unlikely match-ups! Some fight for glory, some for survival, while others keep secret a more sinister purpose.

From the hit video game series – “SNK vs. Capcom” comes an exciting martial arts event!

http://www.newsarama.com/Other_Publishers/svc_v1.jpg


Availability:

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos vol. 1 will be available in April 2004. Each 128 page graphic novel will be priced at $13.95. Visit www.comicsone.com (www.comicsone.com/svc/) for more detailed series information...

Dam, is it just me, or wouldn't it have been better if they would have based it on Capcom vs. SNK 2 instead of this?. Oh well, atleast were getting more SF's in comics:o......

Hmmm I dunno, I would of preferred the Other games

[Dark Carnage]

Dammit!

The Issue 3 Bison foil cover cost me £10. And I want the foil covers for #6 and #7. That's quite a lot for two comics.:(

SOTA Toy's Street Fighter Figures
Originally Posted at Action-Figure.Com (http://www.action-figure.com/Article10833.html)


Ball jointed neck, ball shoulders with swivel below (Marvel legends style), elbow hinges, wrist swivels, waist swivel, torso bend, ball hips with swivel (again ML style), double knees, ball ankles and mid-foot hinge. You'll see variant heads and hands in this line, and "special" parts, like a clear blue hand for Bison! Worried about the scale? SOTA assures us these are in scale with your Marvel Legends crew. They've even pumped up the sizes for those fighters who should look like they can wipe the floor with a normal guy.

Style wise, the Street Fighter line was modeled after the new Udon comic. Fans of the series will not be disapointed! Jerry Macaluso, the founder and president of SOTA says "We've put 5 months of blood, sweat and tears into making these the best possible combination of sculpt and poseability. We even bought Street Fighter 2 and 3 for the workshop for inspiration!" Adrian Faulkner, our own beloved Brit, wanted to add "Street Fighter is the line I've been most excited about, since I first heard about it over 6 months ago. I feel its appeal is greater than to just video gamers, and an ideal line for SOTA. I think this line could be a major contender for Marvel Legends' crown." Look for the Street Fighterline to hit this Summer for around $12.99 (price may change.)

Now, as SOTA love a bit of fun as much as we do, they wanted to kick this off in a BIG way. You've seen just One of the Five figures from series one. We want you to guess the rest! What's it worth to you? One lucky winner will get one of EVERY FIGURE FROM THE STREET FIGHTER LINE SOTA WILL EVER MAKE. That's right. The whole line until it ends. It will be like a reoccurring holiday where Mom doesn't refuse to buy you toys just because your 30 and she thinks you already have enough of them. Sorry. I have issues. There will also be one runner up who will get a full set of Street Fighter: Series One. Now anyone can enter, but be advised that should a winer be chosen from outside the US, you'll have to pay for your own shipping. Sorry guys. The contest will start as of Right Now until the first official day of Toyfair, when SOTA will reveal the figures themselves, Right Here! (http://www.action-figure.com/) To enter, just shoot your guess over to streetfighter@action-figure.com . Winners will be chosen at random from correct entries. Only one entry per email address and person please! Entering more than once will disqualify you. Good Luck!

[Shockdingo]

aww whatta bout me? I'm an honerable individual like Ryu san......crap no I'm not

[Dark Carnage]

I know this really isn't related to the comic, seeing as Ryu's headband is red. But was there ever an explaination for why it was changed to white in the later games?

[Shockdingo]

THere has been some significance with it, but I forgot why, I think it relates to Ken or something new in his life

[Dark Carnage]

That happend in the animated movie. Which is where he got the red one from. I was asking why it was later changed to white.

[WallCrawl]

Probably just to differentiate Ryu in the Alpha games. Was his bandana white in SF3?

[Dark Carnage]

I never played it, so I had a search for it, but there are two SF3 games. 3rd Strike and Double Impact. I couldn't find one of him in Double Impact, but in 3rd Strike he has a red one.

I guess it is just an Alpha thing then. Because it's white in the Alpha movie.

[Savage]

Alpha takes place before the other games.
