Actually, I'm far from wrong, sado, you originally claimed bison wanted to destroy the world. So, you mind showing me where this was stated, because bison from what I remeber wanted to counquer ever since Street Fighter 2. So, that means Igniz, Zero,and whatever boss snk druges is the same.
i took the destroying the world bit from his in-game rambling in his own ending. sounded pretty reliable to me. he said:
"i will destroy the world and my name will remain forever" or something like that.
Chun li want from wanting revenge to wanting to train kids in martial arts.
iori is way too multidimensional for all characters of Capcom combined so i'll pass on that.
lets see:
Benimaru: went from someone trying to steal Kyo's thunder to one who respects the weight his friend carries and supports him with everything he has, then went to leader of a the Japan team twice and returned again in the Ash Saga to aid Kyo against he renewed Orochi threat.
the above alone is a lot more interesting than chunli's 10+ years story. all she did was want revenege, failed time and time again, and with having nothing else to do with her life opened a kung fu school. sounds like has-been's life to me. where's the development? the only reason she changed was cuz Akuma did her job for her. in the years from SFA2 to SF2 spanning around 6 years...how much did she change?
between KoF94 to KoF96 Benimaru changed quite a bit in the ways i told you.
Ken went from wanting to become stronger than ryu to wanting to getting married and training with his son & Sean.
dude....that's hardly any different from Goro Daimon!!
wanted to show Judo is the best, couldn't, got married and had a child. returned in 2001 and 2003 to aid his friends.
also Andy went from one trying to be better than his brother, letting his emotions get the better of him, failing, and finally acknoweledging that Terry is better. at least that's more characters since he's admitting that since he got pwned by the man that Terry pwned, then Terry is better.
Ken never acknowledged Ryu's obvious superiority despite knowing it since childhood (when he changed his ki to red to get attention).
Guile quit Street Fighting, so, did many other fighters after Street Fighter 2, like chun-li but, he did not pick it up again like her.
and that's multidimensional...how?
the only character by capcom who is multidimensional is Cody. went from hero, to jail breaker and back to hero again. he has flaws and his character changed overtime. by multidimensional it is this "fluctuation" in character that i'm talking about and in some major way or life changing way. you know, have epiphanies. think Kazuya. he's multidimensional. so is Heihachi. so is Iori and K'.
This is are sharp contrast from characters in kof who just come year after year with no plot progress.
in the past 10 years htat ryu has been fighting...how much change did he go through. the only good bit was the part between SFA2 and SFA3 where he was mentally confused. however, from SF2 to SF3...how much has Ryu changed? how much has he changed in a span of 5 years? Ken didn't change even in the slightest till SF3 where he finally matured a bit (as is seen in his victory comments).
Ryu,Sagat,Ken, and chun li didn't appear towards the end and did not even destroy bison. Chun-li planted bombs which resulted in the destruction of the psycho drive, that's big. Charlie held down bison and gave guile enough time to escape and kept bison from getting resultng in his death, that's big. Rose became bisons new body and Sagat Saved Ryu. The dolls & Cammy pushed bison back (Even though many died) and cammy helped the rest get their freedom by using the psycho drive before it's destruction
ooh...that's me doing what used to annoy before. sorry🙁
i meant Charlie and Chunli destroyed bison by blowing up the psycho drives. that's what i meant. also i said Ryu, Chunli, Guile and Charlie and Bison are more or less the main characters. Cammy's story to me isn't too relevant cuz she doesn't advance the story. same with the dolls...do we ever see them again? but that just my opinion. lets leave it at that.
Rose becomes his new body...okay that about advances the story as much as Geonitz when he claims that the power of Orochi will always return.
I agree with Sagat bit though. Sagat and Cody are the only multidimensional and developed characters of the SF universe. they went through various evolutions and epiphanies and a new understanding of things...and more importantly of who they are. the rest of the cast is the same as they were in SF1. they are bland.
Guy helped rose to the hospital, nothing big. Those punks have their own series they don't need to be the main characters of alpha
so why complain that Ryo and the Aof people, Terry and the FF people, athana and her people from her own game, Ikari team of Ikari warriors don't get too prominant in KoF...a game that is not about them?
heck at least Terry, Ryo, Athena DO something. Cody didn't even come across bison. the dolls, characters we've never seen since, did more than Cody. now who gives who respect, emperor.
SNK gives respect to both new and old heroes. Terry is never trampled on. nor did he beat Kyo perfect just cuz Kyo, an 18 year old boy in KoF94 was a rookie. nor did Terry trample over Rock who was half his age. Respect given to the heroes. Capcom could use that.
AND...don't call Cody a punk 😠
So, why are there Mark of Garou characters hanging out with the original Fatal Fury cast?
if you go age wise, then Terry would be 32 or 31 in KoFXI. he is 35 in MOTW. doesn't sound too weird to me since its only a three year gap. but i see your point and i admitted that KoF plots have a lot of inconsistencies thanks to the timeline crap.
What are you talking about, Street Fighter 2 came out in 1991 sado why would it have an indept plot at a time when most fighters were developing?. I never said alot happened in Street Fighter 2 excpet at it's end and we know that many fighters quit. Oh, and that guile was the main character
huh?
so what has happened regarding SF2 with SF2: revival? all those retcons done and we're still at square one aren't we?
The G-file was the most important thing in gills project, it detailed every piece information related to him. That's very big, and of course Street Fighter story isn't finished since it's on hiatus. And, Ryu,Ken, and Chun-li's story is just fan service since they have no impact in the main plot what-so-ever anymore. Capcom actually let's other people shine
and all would be irrelevent because SF4 is never coming out. on wiki they quote some guy from Capcom mentioning how fighting games (2D) are just a niche and hence Capcom doesn't want to do anything with it. not the most reliable but with the last SF coming out almost 10 years ago, its doesn't sound too "impossible".
capcom let other people shine? by making Ryu beat Alex, the new hero, perfect? come now.
Doesn't matter, Ryo and Terry would just get in the way since they cannot even hurt orochi what-so-ever. And, lbesides every year they "Help" and the specific details of that help is ambigous. I atleast know that ken and sakura fought bison to give sagat enough time to get ryu back to his sense in alpha 3.Then ll 4 of them pushed back bison, but what did ryo and terry do?
did you read what i posted this morning?
Kyo and Iori being trhe main character what's new, if someone is not not connected to orchi or has orochi blood they are not important.to any kof plot what's so ever. I remeber kensou had some dragon heart ability which I thought would be the new direction of kof. But, instead kyo& iori
i agree on this bit. we could use non-flame weilders. though Alba isn't a flame weilder, you are right. 4 new heroes in KoF of which 3 are flame weilders.
Those aren't mistakes and they did tell us what happened after Street fighter 2 and before. Not to mention alpha 3 subsequently retconned parts of the Street Fighter 2 plot. And, Street fighter 3 is finshed all those questions are open for capcom if they ever make a Street Fighter 4.
-who beat who in SF2?
-who won SF2?
-did Akuma kill bison b4 the final or after it?
-how much did the characters evolve?
-what new dimensions did the fighters grow?
Then kof is the black sheep, almost every character is under developed. Tell me how has Xang fei, Athena, May Lee,and Ryo developed in the kof stroryline. I could name more but, I'm tired, see ya.
Xang Fei: about as relevent to even FF as E Honda or R Mika or Feil Long or Makuto or Sean or Guy or Cody or Karin Kanzuki or Blanka or Dan or Sodom or T Hawk or Dee Jay or Zangief or Dhalsim (except hte bit where he helped Cammy...which is speculation) or Rolento...or i could go on forever.
May Lee: new member of Justice team. fights evil and intends to carry out and follow Kim as her role model. think Sakura. and what did she do in SFA2 execpt making ryu take a dive and giving an unspecified amount of help to Ken in SFA3? keyword being unspecified. and that's different from Terry and the rest of the non-flamers pwning Ingiz how?
Ryo: like Sakura gave [i quote] "crucial" help to Kyo against the likes of Omega Rugal, Orochi and Igniz. if you think Sakura was playing a major role than Ryo just played a role 3-times more major than hers right of the top of my head. aside from that he is the first winner of KoF, is the new Mr. Karate and probably going to hook up with King somewhere down the line which is a smal romance thing going. see...development?
as i said both KoF and SF have their flaws but overall KoF has the better more developed characters despite having a bigger cast to handle. and again, they are noted for it. Capcom isn't.
