Hello,

 

Can anybody still remember on this cover, which is showing the amazing painting with the tough battle between Chun Li, Blanka and Ryu?

If yes, what are your opinions about that?

 

cover ---> http://www.mobygames.com/game/covers/gameC...32/gameId,6239/

 

Regards

some clairfication please? what do you want to know? I remember it but it looks like all the other promo art I've ever seen.

Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

 

Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

He had already started a thread on this here

I think its bloody ugly and thats been my opinion since I first saw it. The way Blanka flied through the air while crouching like hes about to take a dump is just mind-boggling :rolleyes:

 

 

and his name isnt a big hit either since theres a swede nursery rhyme that goes

 

"rida, rida ranka. h

I always thought the cover looked bad.

Cover art wasn't good, but I'm still very addicted to the more recent games in the 2D fighter genre.

I have a big original poster from this cover, on which you can see the 3 thrashing opponents in a larger shape, so I must admit, that Chun Li has a little too much muscles on this cover,especially to see this on her both powerful legs. .She was a young Chinese girl at her first appearance in 1992, it seems the american artist didn't know exactly, how must to draw such an asian woman, perhaps he thought he must draw Chun Li in this tough style, to show that she can keep up with her male counterparts, but this style let she appears herself too masculine, that is not very realistic, she must be much more female.

 

What you are thinking about it?

 

Here is a scan from the poster, which is showing the painting from this cover. I must take it down from the wall to make a scan. The poster was hanging there for about 10 years already.

I may be wrong, but if memory serves correct all Japanese artists did the art for the Street Fighter series and cover art. Capcom is a Japanese company. Most of Capcom USA is... Capcom.

 

Capcom Corporate

 

I used to own the Super Street Fighter II Turbo Art Book and all of it was done by Japanese Artists. Take a look at all of the old school SFII art, it all looks pretty much the same.

Chun Li looks fine.

DAMN fine.

Not one of the better covers ever made.

"Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque

"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)

One thing that's very odd with this picture is that it shows a possibly defeated Ryu lying unconscious on the floor! Ryu is supposed to be *the* hero of the series; it's most inappropriate for him to be portrayed like that on the cover art....

He typically seems to be "the good guy."

 

Appropriately though, the other common character is Chun Li.

I liked Chun Li, she had that ultra fast leg kicks. I am getting tempted to bring home my Sega from my parents house just to play that and Mortal Combat.

Flawless victory!

Good Chun Li players were the only ones that could rival my Ryu skills back in the day :D

I liked that indian fella with the 12'' tongue. And blanka, everyone likes blanka.

Ryu is the one besides the villian, forgot his name, that ever game me a problem.

M. Bison?

 

Pfft. He's a punk. People always try to do his lame sliding trip and against inexperienced players you could actually get them stuck in the corner.

 

Guile used to be a pain, because his special moves could both be set up the same way (hold down and back), and you could fire sonic booms until the guy tried jumping it, then he would flash kick you.

 

Though I learned how to spam Ryu's much faster fireball, and it was gameover for him then! Plus while going up in the Dragon Punch you are invincible (I once Dragon Punched a fireball with zero health left to avoid getting it, since blocking would have killed me. Made me feel l33t). Much better than Sagat's lame, wannabe Tiger Uppercut. Ken may be a wannabe follower too, but at least he took the time to learn the mad skillz0rs in the correct way. Sagat is a little baby. Ryu whoops him!

 

Though I think Balrog (in Turbo, since you could play him) was the worst. Ugh did he suck.

 

Dhalsim, the stetch guy? Sucks.

 

 

Ahhhh, so many memories.

Cammy ftw!
