And, Rugal, Igniz, and every other boss in kof is not cliche but bison is? If you say so sado, and how is Chun-li cliche in the Video Game world when she was the first.
Rugal didn't want to destroy the world and nor did Igniz. you're mistaken my friend.
oh i didn't say Chunli is cliched. i said she's onedimensional. so are Guile, Ken and the others.
I don't see how ryu being under developed character means the entire cast of Street fighter is the same. Sounds to me like you r describing KOF, IMO. Adding random new characters who take the backseat and have no effect on the plot what-so-ever is what KOF does best.
SF has so many characters that don't have an effect on the canon story. SFA3 has like 30 character but all it boils down to is Bison, Ryu, Cammy, Chunli and Charlie. Ken, Sagat, Sakura, the dolls, Guile, Guy and Rose all play a very small part of the story. they do as much as Ryo, Terry, Kim etc. did in aiding Kyo against Rugal etc.
but you already said that SFA3 sucked so i wont hold it against you or pull your leg with it.
how about SF2? who are the central characters? Bison? akuma? Chunli? what does ryu do in SF2? what about Ken?
SF3.
what happened in that. What great roles did Sean, Makuto, Twelve, Q, Remy, Necro, Yun, Yang, Ibuki, Dudley do? how much did they help in the storyline. all they did was...nothing. all we know is that Sean was pwned by Ken and the last we saw of him he was being pwned by a mere hadouken by ryu for the umpteenth time in a row. heck what role does Alex perform in the story...aside from getting lucky that oro left, that Gill took a dive for him and he got pwned by Ryu perfect.
in KoF at least Ryo and Terry, the previous two heroes have played a crucial role in helping against Orochi. in KoFKyo they have an even bigger role and are of key help. in the NESTS saga, these two helped defeat Igniz.
i am not saying that the other characters are not ignored by SNK miind you. what you said is true. however, i'm just reminding you that Capcom does the same.
LOL, Heihachi pulled the same cliche villian act is bison in tekken 3. When he tried to use jin to capture info on ogre.
😆 20 years later though. we agreed that T3 onwards sucks storyline wise.
Jin is nothijng but a "Deus Ex Machina" that introduced the devil gene, he doesn't do jack in the story but job people.
agreed. IMO Jin is pretty one-dimensional and cliched (just how many "evil daddy goody mommy" child have we seen anyway?). however he has certain bits about him that make him at least a little more unique...say his humorous, klutz side shown in T5 asuka ending and his voilent side shown in T4 Kaz/Jin ending. these both are extremes compared to his usual quiet and brooding disposition. like i said, Jin and ryu aren't too different when it comes to being boring though.
If you say so, I don't see anything innovative or intresting about characters with tthe exact same powers saving the day every game. that's very lame to me.
Kyo and Iori were only similar in moves in KoF95. KoF96 onwards its a whole new ball game. the only remaining similar move they have is the "shiki-oniyaki" (their antiair move). aside from that they have totally different moves. with K' in the mix its even more unique. ryu, Ken, akuma, sakura, sean, dan....now THESE are "exact same powers".
personalities are far apart between K', Kyo and Iori.
one is an arrogant punk, the other is almost just like Kazuya (Iori) so that's definitely a lot of dimensions. K' on hte other hand has got a good personality as well.
More consistent, there aren't massive plot holes like there are kof. How many timelines does KOF have?
Yes. definitely..KOF is inconsistent. but you're barring how many retcons Capcom has done to their games too. of course KoF becomes a lot lamer with the timeline crap though. i agree.
It's not redundant since they let different characters shine, tekken has not done that since jin and kof with it's stuoid flame users. Someone like aliex would never become a main character in KOF or tekken
i would say so-so here.
just a question: how much respect did Cody Travers (hero of one of capcom's original classics FF) get in sfa3? how crucial was he to the plot?and that's just one character.
what about the rest of the cast of SF3 or SF2? how important were they all to the plot.
A tight cast, not filled with nobodies and jobber bosses who lose for no reason.
IMO having the hero win isn't a bad idea. just cuz a hero won agianst a tough fighter isn't jobbing. if that were the case than Ryu beating Sagat is jobbing. ryu beating Akuma in SFA2 was also jobbing. Ryu hurting Bison and forcing him to run is also jobbing....even ryu beating Hugo is jobbing since Hugo is extra ordinarily powerful fast and has inhuman endurance. and yet no one here considers it jobbing.
yet if Terry beats Geese...then its jobbing?
so i disagree on this one.
as for the "nobodies" i already told you about twelve, makuto, sean, Q, cody, etc. etc. etc. were all nobodies who did nothing for the plot. at least the KoF characters fought against the boss so at least they lent a little help. that's some role compared to the likes of, say, Cody.
Most characters actully have an impact on the plot.
as i said above.
no need to worry about me being offended or something. I know you have no such intentions and i respect your opinion too. See ya.
