[FEAR THE BAT]

Nice thread Roughie. I saw the ad for Dan in the recent ToyFare on Friday actually. I'll probably get one too if I decide to keep my SF figs, which I've been on the fence on. Dunno yet.

 

[Roughneck]

I also think that Sota should do Something cool......Well Two Something cool.

First I think for the 20th Anniversary of Street Fighter (2008) They should give us every charace from te firt Street Fighter Game

Joe
Mike
Retsu
Geki
Birdie (Rerelease)
Eagle
Lee
Gen (Rerelease)
Adon (Rerelease)
Sagat (Rerelease)
Ken (Rerelease)
Ryu (Same Body but red Hair and shoes)


The Other thing I think thy should do would be two basic figurs ofthese two guys that were never really in a Street Figter Game

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

It would be cool if we just got some damn new figs before I decide to sell what I have. And I don't mean these damn new Previews figs. I'm talking primarily about Zangief and Dee Jay for starters but we need to finish up SF2 damn it.

 

[Roughneck]

That's True.....I don't know why Sota Can't focus more on thier most popular line.....there is little to no reason that these shouldn't be on Wave 10 by now.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

think I'll skip on Dan. I'll keep what SF figs I have, but the only new ones I'll pick up are zangief, dalshim, and E. Honda.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Do you have Fei Long, T.Hawk or Cammy SHT???

 

[Roughneck]

I'll be Getting Dan....And I think I'm gonna get Sakura again, and track dow a Birdie......Mabe Remy and Ibuki Too..SF 2 really shouldn't count though.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Did you get the Birdie from me?? If not its in the box I have for you. I know I was trading or traded one to you.

 

[Roughneck]

That's Right Too....I was gonna make a Lobo out of it and a spare Blanka Head.....Yeah, Sweet


Corsses Birdie of of list.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Damn, I coulda got away with that one......

 

[Ryo Jin]

You bothered putting Rival Schools/Project Justice in there but not Darkstalkers?!

Also, I can't see the pics.

 

[Roughneck]

Darkstalkers While it is a Capcom title that is tied to Street Fighter, it is not Cannonoically in the same universe. So it wouldn't count....Otherwize Captain Commando woulda made it in there too.

 

[Ryo Jin]

That's like saying Constantine isn't in the same universe as the Dark Knight.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Or that Wolverine isn't immortal.

 

[Ryo Jin]

You also didn't mention why Dan was created. SNK's Art of Fighting had the main protagonists resembling Ryu and Ken way too much in terms of special moves. So as retaliation, Capcom made Dan Hibiki, which was like Robert's head and Ryo's body but pink instead of orange.

Ryo

Robert

Funny thing is I own as Ryo in the King of Fighters/Capcom vs. SNK games moreso than Ryu whom I was always good with. Ryo's my new most used character. Just like Wolverine always was with those Marvel fighting games.

 

[Roughneck]

a) I didn't feel it necessary to say why they made Dan

B) No ConStanine doesn't reside in the same universe os Batman, but they do exist in the same multiverse and there have been Cannonical crossings between those two worlds. Anything crossing between Darkstalkers and Street Fighter has not been Cannon....Hell Constantine's first appearance was in Crisis On Infinite Earths.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

why's dan's fig not pink? he needs his pink outfit...

 

[Ryo Jin]

A funny reference to SNK's Ryo from Art of Fighting. Mr. Karate/Takuma is Ryo's father and since Dan is a joke character based on Ryo, you get the picture.

 

[Ryo Jin]

Did any of you know that Dan's father, Gou, is the one that took out Sagat's right eye? That's why Dan's on a revenge mission for Sagat after he slayed his father, thus leading Dan to getting kicked out of Gouken's Dojo where Ryu and Ken had trained most of their life. Gouken didn't tolerate vengeance.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Many thanks for dropping knowledge. I like getting filled in on this stuff.

 

[Ryo Jin]

The SNK Art of Fighting/Fatal Fury/King of Fighters storyline is actually really interesting. So if you like the Street Fighter storyline you'll definitely like the SNK storyline as well. I just wish there were figures of them too, much like SOTA.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

There's a few, just not by SOTA. They look OK, but nowhere near as cool as SOTA.

 

[Ryo Jin]

Yeah, that's what I mean. I own the Kyo, Iori and Mai. Still gotta get the Haohmaru. Apparently they were going to make a Terry and Nakoruru, but I guess it was cancelled?
