I am not opposed to wirework, I love many wuxia films.

But STREET FIGHTER is not a wuxia film/series. The clue is in the title. The fighting should be as realistic and technique based as possible. And yes I am aware that character fire fireballs in the game, but the fighting mechanic is still based on realistic fighting techniques.

And Kreuk does not have the thighs or physical prowesss to be Chun-Li I’m afraid.

OK, lets play word assumtion now. Sure I argree that SF4 is just another version of SF but, why call it 4? Wasnt SF: Championship Edition SF4? If we count the versions of SF2 games as sequels then SF3 should be SF5 and SF4 should be SF8. Oh but wait! what about Alpha and EX? Well plot wise Alpha was Street Fighter 1.5 because it had Adon and Gen and Birde. Also it showed at Ryu’s ending that Ken game him his trade mark red head band. So SF4 is a prequel so why is there no characters from SF3? They could have put in Alex, Q, Oro and Dudly? Its like if George Lucas made Star Wars Episode 7 and brought back most of the characters from Episode 1. Fans would think that the movie is stupid cause things that should happen dont because now everythings out of order but to your logic we should be ok with it cause it just a diffrent version of Star Wars right?

“Even John says this in todays podcast about how ppl like you saying that I cannot judge a movie I not seen because I saw only a preview or pictures. John hasnt seen the Spirit but he says it looks like crap”

And in the podcast John says his INTEREST in the film is non existant. You can choose to be interested in a movie or not based on publicity. That is fine. But you cannot say the film IS crap just because you think it might be. I don’t have to tell John that. We agree vehemently on this topic.

John says The Spirit looks bad and he has no interest to see it. He said the publicity is pathetic. He doesn’t like the bits he saw. He never said the movie he has yet to watch is a bad movie. He said it LOOKS bad.

Big difference.

And you can split hairs about SF4 being just another Streetfighter but they are all “just another version” of Streetfighter.

OK, lets do this again.
First off SF1 is very diffrent from SF2. To start SF you only play as Ken or Ryu. The graphics were diffrent and the gameplay was difficult. SF2 was a totally new game. Diffrent style, characters (except 3) endings, gameplay. Alpha was also very diffrent from SF2 and EX as well with only a few well known characters showing up. SF EX was also in 3-D but fans I spoken with wanted it to be pure 2-D. Im ok with the look but it doesnt feel like SF4. Feels like another version of SF2.

As for my opinion about the movie. If i feel the movie looks bad from the pictures and trailer and I dont wanna see it cause I think the movie looks bad then thats what I think before seeing the film. Now if I happen to see the film and I thought it it was ok then I have a right to change my opinion from what I thought before seening the movie and after seeing the movie. Even John says this in todays podcast about how ppl like you saying that I cannot judge a movie I not seen because I saw only a preview or pictures. John hasnt seen the Spirit but he says it looks like crap. So why dont you go to his posts and tell him the same thing you tell me.

The characters in Streetfighter are what makes the brand. You are blaming them for using the same characters?

And maybe you haven’t seen the screenshots or reviews Grave, but SF4 is 3d.

And how do you know this film is “horribly bad”? Are you using that time machine of blind assumption again?? The movie isn’t even out. You can decide you are not interested in it based on trailers, but you cannot condemn the whole movie as bad just because you are not interested.

OK, What makes you think that im a wanna be know it all? Did I say how smart I was? Did I call fans of SF4 idiots? NO, NO and NO.

Lets break this down.
“SF4 is a joke being that its really a new version of SF2.” thats my comment. Being someone who has played the game you should know what Im saying. 90% of the games cast is characters from SF2. SF3 only had 4 old characters, the rest are new and orginal cast. The producer even said this game was being modeled after SF2. I am just saying that SF4 is another SF2 thats it. im not saying the game is terrible or it sucks. You played the game, fine. you love the game, ok thats your opinion. But lets be honest? This is still SF2 and im not trying to sound smart or being a nostalga nerd. This game is not a sequel! Its a prequel. Im not intrested in another SF2 game and its not a sequel in my OPINION. But if i had a choice of playing SF4 for 2hrs or watch chun-li. ill play SF4 cause its funnier that watching this horribly bad film.

I think that Capcom should get into talks with Threshold Entertainment on the Darkstalkers project on making the movie and the storyline and character development must be follow up to the first game also martial arts and special visual FX and a music with techno and heavy metal would be cool..
But the Street Fighter movie it needs to be more touched up to game.
Thank You.
