, posted Sat 23 Nov 10:51
I was playing CvS2 this morning and thinking about CFAS. And I noticed that A LOT of people are loathing this game,and I got to thinking about the positives:
-There isn't an overload of Ryu-wannabes(Ken,Akuma,Sean,Dan,Sakura,the list goes on and on)
-The new characters are refreshing to see. And they brought in Haggar(someone much needed in a fighter besides Final Fight)
They got Batsu,Akira and Alex in the mix,too. I found that really cool!
-It seems like there will actually be a concrete storyline w/ endings,since the cast isn't too big.
-Seeing as how it's a fairly numbered cast,this will hopefully eliminate "top-tiers" (I hate seeing that word,see too much of it at SRK's forums).
Anyone else care to comment?

Hey! Dan isn't a Ryu-wannabe! In fact, I'd wagger Ryu wants to be Dan!
I mean seriously! People don't say "I hate Iori and K' because they're Kyo-wannbes" they fight as much like Kyo as Dan fights like Ryu! I mean Geeez...
but anyway off the rant and back on topic, I hope if Ken, Akuma, etc. do show up they're nothing more but extra costumes for Ryu. It sort of ruins the "uniqueness" of Ryu by having a billion guys who fight and look just like him in a game.

I like Akuma WAAAAAY more than I EVER liked Ryu and Ken. I'm not really a fan of either of them in the least, but Akuma's one of my top favorite fighters of all time. But, I do understand the point of making Ryu more "special" by leaving out the others that fight like him.
As for Dan, you do know that he's supposed to be making fun of Ryo and (I think) Robert from Art of Fighting, right? Once someone pointed that out to me, I started laughing... Ryo's fireball dies out about an inch away from his hand, and then there's the "hurricane kick" that he does... In CvS2 on PS2, I made a Dan called "Ryobert" and colored his gi (sp?) orange and his hair dark brown.

Well,I agree with you . CFAS probably will be very good after all . Sure,so far it still has some problems that need to be solved . It won't probably be the best 3D fighting game (MK:DA,which was expected to be the best fighting ever,ended up letting down many of its fans,although I liked it) . But it will provide us with some days of fun,be sure of that ! ^ ^
I can be any person in the world...Maybe I'm this person right in front of you...or not!

The fact that Chun-Li's the only SF II character being used is amazing enough (God, the majority of the SF II cast have been in more than enough games!)
Though I doubt I'll ever see this game in an arcade anytime soon, I sure hop I don't end up seeing another MvC style Ryu in this game. That was a bad idea the 1st time around.
Doesn't Ryu count as an SF2 character? ...er... sorta, that is.
On a random note, I'm pretty sure that Metro City is in New York, though yea, it's not New York city. Haggar's Slammasters bio says New York and you can see the statue of liberty from the bay area of Metro City, after all. :p

Hmm, on the Metro City bit, I was keyed up to see that That Girl (TM) in the background of Guy's SFZ 2 stage is FINALLY a fighter...let's see, was she Cody's girlfriend or Haggar's, or neither. Slipped my mind, but good to see her there.
That woman is Poison, who happens to be a new-half. She's not really anybody's girlfriend, and certainly not Haggar's or Cody's ( although she doesn't seem to particularly hate Cody )
Note: Drag queens are men who dress up like women; they don't go the " extra step " like Poison did. As another note, I happen to like Poison. She's pretty cool, regardless of the fact that she has bits and pieces.

You need a crash course in Final Fight...
Poison is a drag queen from Metro City. Seriously,that's what he/she is. She was part of Mad Gear,but now she/he is Hugo's manager.
(seriously,ANYONE here can tell you she/he is a tranny)
tranny or not, she looks a lot like my girlfriend. Poison's a babe

quote DA,which was expected to be the best fighting ever,ended up letting down many of its fans,although I liked it)
MK:DA is only a let down to fans because they're all bunch of whinny little brats.
I've visted a few MK boards and it's all the same complaints "Only one fatality per character. No Stage Fatalities. No ripping costumes. No Secrets besides what's in the Krpyt. The two secret characters you get from finishing all 218 missions don't have thier own styles or weapons."
Everyone's upset because they want more shit to find, not one of the complaints are on the gameplay and considering that's what the MK Team made their main focus MK:DA turned out exceptional (I love the game, but then again I didn't buy the game expecting thousands of Fatalities, to play as Smoke, Sektor, Shao Khan, Baraka and then unlock an arcade perfect version of MK2)

Yeah, I could have sworn she's actually a girl... I know they give her a unit in some hentai stuff, but I didn't think that was the way her character actually was...
It all stemmed from some official history of Capcom book or something that said Poison was a "he".
We won't really know unless bios for each CFAS char are released.
I would take the US translation of such with a grain of salt. I own the "All About Capcom" book and as I've said before, this is an exact translation of the text within:
"Poison was originally intended to be a woman, but since in America, hitting a woman is inexcusable, it was established that she was a 'new-half'."
A "new-half" isn't exactly a man, nor a woman... sort of a median. They all look like girls -- unfortunately, the trick to the treat is that they are "anatomically incorrect" girls. They also tend to take on "girlish" mannerisms and consider themselves girls DESPITE... well, you know.
The fact that Capcom actually did such a thing is hilarious, I think...
"Get it straight or get the BOOT !"
