brain, what is wrong with you?
the voice acting of SF2 was universally lamented and so was the plot. that's TWO major flaws in a movie. the script, plot and character development SUCKED ALL SORTS OF @$$. that's three big flaws in a movie and hence it wasn't half as good as you're trying to make it sound like.
FF2 wasn't brilliant when it comes to plot, i admit, but if you talk fighitng anime then it was pretty good. character development, you can sound as belittling as you can, but at the end of the day Terry went from an all time champ to bum to champ again. he found his self respect again and conquered his fears......the same reason why people liked Rocky3 so don't even start. the only change that took place in SF2AM was that Ryu was shown without his hand guards in India.....and towards the end Ken is still confused if he should marry eliza or go on chasing after ryu's @$$.
seriously, what character development WAS there in SF2?
as far as the action goes, FF2 had good fights. Terry/Kim was okay, short but good. Terry Krauser was good (and notice how SOMEONE really liked it despite it being heavily onesided AND short...funny how its not lame anymore like Terry and Kim. i wonder why). Terry/Krauser was a good fight and Terry put in a lot more effort than Ryu or Ken did in any of their fights. seriosly: terry gtes smashed on the ground, gets back up, gets smashed in the pillar, gets back up, is punched and kicked around and gets right back up again. compare to Ken who gets elbowed a grand total of two times, punched in the face three times and is slided.........and is down for the count long enough for Ryu to unload a 6 hit combo on Bison? please, brain. you're being sad....but we already knew that 😛
total fights in FF2:
-terry kim (good but short)
-terry krauser1 (good but short)
-andy jubei (short)
-mai blood (...)
-andy blood (short)
-terry thugs (short)
-andy terry (good)
-joe krauser (too onesided)
-terry krauser2 (good fight)
total fights in SF2:
-ryu sagat (good fight)
-ryu fei (good fight)
-ken hawk (short)
-dhalsim ehonda (lame and shorT)
-ryu terrorist (...)
-chunli vega (overrated)
-blanka zangief (short)
-ken bison (short)
-ken ryu (...not really a fight. ken turned ryu into a piniata)
-guile bison (extremely short)
-ehonda balrog (these three took place at the same time)
-ryu bison (good)
-ken ryu bison (CIS)
Ryu/Fei and Chunli/Vega are probably the only good fights in SF2. Ryu-Ken/Bison was anti-climatic with the worst case of CIS i've ever seen..........."oh, since i'm gonna tear you both new ones at my level, let me weaken myself up to shameful levels so you two can beat me". please.
Chunli/Vega was alright. the only thing it had going was that she was half naked at the time. apart from that it was alright.
Ryu Fei was DAMN GOOD. Probably the best fight in animes i've seen.
