Their rivalry just doesn't seem to be as important as the one between Ryu and Ken. Also, Sakura has been around and on her own even without Karin. As long as you got Ryu, who she keeps following like a groupie, you don't really need Karin.

Well, obviously it's not as important, what is in SF? But it's a dynamic I like and want to see. Honestly, I wouldn't mind dropping the 'groupie' act and emphasizing that a little more instead

yeah I would say Sakura's strongest relationship has been more to Ryu than anything. Maybe there was potential with Karin, but that was only explored in one game and hasnt been followed up with since. Her connection to Ryu, however is consistent with her character.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I don't really care if it's been as consistent, it obviously has, but I like Karin and that dynamic a little better so I want to continue it more (and you could realistically do both). If I see one, I want the other (and Sakura mentions her in a victory thing anyway, so I assume someone else is aware of it).

Maybe if they'll make another game like Alpha 3, where they basically put every SF character in that existed at that point, we might see Karin again.

lol...it kinda feels like they are slowly doing that with SFIV

 

[Nathan]

Heh, yeah. We might get there after like 3 more updates.

 

[Soapy]

More costumes on the way.

 

[Havok83]

oh crap, Chun Li's Alpha costume is in there. I think that one is MUCH better than her SF2 attire and wish it would be her default look. I wish they had included it much sooner than now

 

[javi1024]

i still havent downloaded any of the last costumes that came out with Super's release.

Oh, no way. I mean, I like her Alpha costume and all, but it looks a little too plain beside her really fun and more exotic regular costume.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I'm with Tron Bonne. I like Chun Li's Street Fighter II attire much more. When I'd play the Alpha games and played her I was just sad she had such a boring look.

 

[Nathan]

I still refuse to buy any of those costumes. I can't believe how Capcom keeps nickel and diming us like that. Especially when I look at Tekken, that comes with tons of alternate outfits and even gives you additional attire to unlock.

 

[Soapy]

I don't think you can really claim "nickel and diming" when it's not something you need to enjoy the game. Especially when Street Fighter has never been a series with alternate costumes.

[Havok83]

Im trying to get the trophy for all the colors and taunts and thats forcing me to play as other characters and I just realized that Im actualygood with T.Hawk. He's not a character I would have ever used before but I actually quite like him

 

[Nathan]

I can never play as T.Hawk, Zangief or Hakan. I just don't know how to get those full circle movements done.

analog stick is your friend. I used to avoid those type of characters in the past but the analog stick makes 360 and 720 motions VERY easy to pull off

 

[Drakon]

I still hate Hakan.

 

[The Riddler]

i haven't bought an outfit yet, but guile's new alternate costume looks awesome enough that i will.

 

[Nathan]

Do not give in! Stay strong!


Well, I might buy them some day. Once all available costumes are all in one pack and said pack got very, very, very cheap.

 

[Sparta*]

the new costumes look great. Why wont they just give cammy her alpha costume though? instead she gets some stupid cat woman costume??

 

[Tron Bonne]

I think the first costume pack gave her that if I remember. Isn't her Alpha costume basically just that jacket

 

[Sparta*]

no, I played with that costume just yesterday, its "similar" to the alpha costume, but really not nearly close enough. Im talking the hat, the striped costume, the tattoos, the color, thats all not accurate on the alt they already gave her. Look at chun lis new alpha alt comin out, its 100% accurate.

 

[Sparta*]

check out these pics...

its not supposed to be a jacket, its a body suit. its supposed to be striped. the tattoos are wrong, the boots are wrong, the hat is wrong, its practically all wrong, it cant even be called the alpha costume

 

[Tron Bonne]

Oh, okay. It's been awhile. I guess maybe they think it looks too similar to her regular costume, I don't know.
