[Mr._Mutant_Man]

No Guile?:x

This makes me want to see the first Street Fighter movie again. I'm not in any rush to see it again, but it just made me remember it.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Oh god the Street Fighter movie is my favorite comedy of all time.

[Mecha Cow]

Amazing. Vega is supposed to be this beautiful guy yet they cast one of the ugliest people alive to play him. And Balrog...They do realise there's more than one big black guy out there, right? Perhaps one that actually fits the part aside from being big and black?

[Ecto Jedi]

Now I'm actually looking forward to this.

>_< No comment.

[Dr. Doom]

This movie can go **** itself.

[Ecto Jedi]

Hopefully they get rid of the "Legend of Chun-Li" from the title -- it sounds real goofy. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to see what they do with one of my favourite videogame properties.

[gobo]

Smallville's Lana Lang has to get the most spotlight though. It just wouldn't be right otherwise. :roll:

Interesting...

Judging by this interview with Capcom, http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/features/exclusive-capcom-talks-new-street-fighter-movie/69637/?biz=1, the movies are going to be more character based, we might just see Ryu and Ken after all. I hope this calms people down, for bashing the movie for not featuring the two.
Awesome. I'd prefer them keeping in line with Japan's predisposition to making SF media focus on these two. I understand it's a shameless plug for their culture, but I prefer their story to that of the 'designated hottie' of the property.

Was Chun-Li the first female in SF-lore or were there any in the first SF game? I still don't know much about that particular version.

All the Japanese stories I know of (excluding the spin-off mangas) have focused on Ryu, the Japanese character with the American counterpart, Ken. So, it's just an observation. Perhaps "shameless" was too strong a word though. America did the same damn thing (with Guile), but didn't even throw Japan any props. What jerks, huh?

EDIT: I'll have to remember to always quote you in the future...

I don't think so. Ken and Ryu were the only playable characters and I don't seem to recall a female opponent...

Thanks, EJ.

Now, your words are stuck here. :evilgrin: Where'd you get that second warning from though??

[Ninjinister]

There were no female fighters in Street Fighter 1. As a matter of fact, I believe the only versus fighter to have female fighters before Chun-Li was Yie Ar Kung Fu.

[Krang]

Where'd you get that second warning from though??
Same reason as last time.
