Who's your favorite Street Fighter character.
I have a lot of favorites, but the one that isn't entirely cliched is Sagat. He's just so bad@$$. He's a guy who's the strongest practionier of one of the most brutal sports in the world and he has...... an eyepatch! :cool: If what I just said isn't enough, the eyepatch clinches it. I'm glad he's in Street Fighter IV. I might get a PS3 just for that and MGS4. Oh, another topic I guess you can post here: If your favorite isn't confirmed for Street Fighter IV, do you want them to be?

Ryu and Ibuki. Their play styles are fun in SF 3. I still wished Ryu kept his kick move in SF IV.

Just to make you feel better, I lost to a Ssgat when I played SF IV.

You played SFIV? I am officially jealous. So, I've heard it's a lot like Street Fighter II (which is fortunate as that's the only one I've played. I'm still waiting for them to put Alpha 2 on Virtual Console). Is that true? Did you try any of the newcomers?

I didn't have time for any newcomers. I just used my two best (Ryu and Chun Li) and still got whooped. It plays like SF II but I didn't know how to do any of the new features like Ultras and the Saving system. I did pretty well in Tatsunoko VS Capcom though.

I have a few...

From Street Fighter 2, Sagat, Honda (both of which are my favorite in any game they appear), and Fei Long.

From Street Fighter 3, Dudley and Necro

Sagat is such a great character, especially if you know his full backstory.

E Honda has the best theme music of any character in Street Fighter... ever...

Fei Long, speed and power all rolled up into one, the same with Dudley.

Necro's so offbeat that you just have to love him.

No Vega love? Him and Fei Long are my favorites, Sagat's pretty sweet too. Also, I know I'm gonna get hate for this, but I absolutely despise Guile, massive tool...

OMG! I LOVE STREET FIGHTER!!!

well for the originals, I have to say StreeT Fighter 2 Turbo which was a good game with basic combat and combos, Street Fighter: 3rd Strike is also among one of my favorite fighting games of all time, you just can't beat it.

as for the Alpha series, I'll say Street Fighter Alpha 3 PWNED!! especially it's wide selection of characters, not to mention it A-ISM super combos which rocked.

some of my favorite characters include:

Sagat (I am so good with him, it's not even funny, seriously)
Evil Ryu
Blanka
Shin M. Bison (PWNS)
Shin Akuma
Ken
Oro

overall, Sagat is the best character ever!! has highly good projectiles and not to mention good combos, which I like. His theme song from Street Fighter Alpha is the best of all time, idc what anybody says.

WHAAAT? You hate Guile? Oh well.

Vega's cool, but it can be incredibly embarrasing to loose to him. The guy's the biggest homo in the fighting game genre bar nun. He's awesome, but he's friggin' gay.

Street Fighter IV is amazing, although out of the five new characters, three of the designs, Crimson Viper, Rufus, and El Fuerte, just plain downright suck. Abel and Seth's are awesome, though.

Who else thinks that Mike Haggar should have been in the Street Fighter Alpha and SNK vs. Capcom games along with other Final Fight characters Guy, Cody, Rolento, Sodom, and Maki?

I actually look forward to trying all of those guys you just said suck. Abel too, but he just doesn't interest me as much. So can you actually play as Seth? I thought he was just the final boss.

I don't play Final Fight, but it does seem a little wierd that Haggar wasn't in Alpha if he's such an important character.

Seth is just the final unplayable boss, but he looks cool. I haven't actually seen any videos or seen anybody play against him.

After seeing someone actually play Rufus today, he owns.

Still ugly, though, but it seems to fade away in action.

So....who's looking forward to Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li? (raises hand)
Seriously, it looks awesome. From what I've seen on the blog, they're on the right track. I just wish it would be updated already!

Oh, anybody read the UDON comic? I'm trying to find a volume from Amazon, but I can't remember which one it is. Ryu meets up with Ken and informs him of Gouken's murder (anybody see Akuma's ending spoilers in SF4?). They go to some restaurant, Birdie shows up to rob it, but is stopped by Guile and Chun-Li. Anybody know which one this is?

Looking forward to it the same way I'm looking forward to the Dragonball Movie, with a mix if excitement, amusement, dread, indifference, and sadly but hilariously low expectations.

I found the book I was looking for. And the world keeps turning.
Oh! Who's seen the new anime trailer for SFIV? They went and did an English version this time too. It's pretty sweet. If you're looking forward to IV you need to see this.
It dissapoints me that they haven't announced any new console exclusive characters beside Cammy, Fei Long, and Dan. I really want to see Sakura or Dee Jay in the home version.
