Chun-Li_Forever

Agreed that Q should be better left a mystery, and if he does appear again, he only would raise more questions while answering little-to-nothing. (I do see G and & similarities, so it's hard to assume that they both aren't related in some way, unless Q was downloaded from G)
 
Personally, I'm okay with Chun-li's father being dead and gone. She's already closed that chapter on her life. No need  to reopen it again, unless it would give her character some more depth. But I honestly don't see any potential character growth or development with her father coming back and her chasing ghosts when she already has kids to take care of and protect.

Typically, the belief is that Death is Suspect when there is no body. Why do you think rumors of Q possibly being Chun-Li's dad exists?
M. Bison pretty much confirmed it in Street Fighter Alpha 1. In the retconned Alpha 2 game, Bison tells Chun-Li "I'll hope you'll amuse me then. More than your father did". Which makes Chun-Li (and the player) infer that Bison was his murderer.
SF2 has Chun-Li praying at his grave, so either he is confirmed dead, or they gave up searching and declared him dead (like Charlie Nash).
Finally, in SFV, Chun-Li's Character Story, after beating Vega a 2nd time, Vega retreats but not before saying "Indeed I can tell you about your father. Also, how he met his end." Which again either confirms or infers that he really is dead.
 
They killed him off in the SF2 Animated movie as well. 
 
I don't know why they just go and say "missing" when the M. Bison and the guys working for him straight up confirm that he's dead.
 
 
 
 
 

*takes psychic damage from theory* ooooh, how I HATE that idea oof.
 
Onto the main  issue, yeah, I really am not sure what's up with messing with whether or not he's dead. It would be a waste to suddenly reveal he's alive or something. In SF4 I like how Chun Li made peace with her father's fate and reflected on how she once focused on living to avenge him as a cop, but she settled into fighting for others as well as her self. With Shadaloo also having it's last hurrah in V, it wouldn't make sense to keep holding out her father's fate for a later plot when if Bison had a trump card, he'd have used it already.  It just seems more sensible that Bison killed him after getting what he needed from him (either his suffering or if he sourced info from torturing him) then he'd dispose of him.

So is her father now “missing” or is he still considered “dead”?
Also, isn’t it canon confirmed M. Bison was her father’s murderer? Or you just wanna throw away 30 years of her story by removing her one motivation to fight against Shadaloo?
Why they gotta make her backstory so vauge? 
 
The SF Collab is enough to get me to download the game. (And possibly hint a SF Duel English release soon as well). Good art design. But I feel every entry, they gotta throw more dirt on her backstory. 

SF6 incomming??? 

Alright y'all. I finally compiled all of the win quotes together. Took a good while. Can you believe we've been at it since 2016? That's a long ass time.

It was a long journey that was so worth it.
 
Not just with the win quotes, but also actually getting good at this game.
 
Don't get me wrong. I take pride in being the Win Quote guy. I guess more than anything...I wanted to feel like I could at least be competent in this game. SFV is a game that will undoubtedly drive you to hell and back. It'll also have you feeling like the best thing since french fries. 
 
I look forward to continuing the vicious cycle in the next Street Fighter.
 
Until then......I'll be back to asking my dumb ass questions like "Is Mike actually Balrog?" and things of that sort.
 
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Hey guys!
 
Due to my asking on the Discord channel about Street Fighter comics managed by Udon staff themself, there was opened a new disussion branch. Now I'm trying to invite all the writers, artists and decision makers to have a forum where we'll give them feedback and provide inspiration.
 
All of you are wellcome to join here: https://discord.com/invite/e3nGxHK
 
At the same time I'm inviting them to come and join us here. I suppose that it will be very helpfull for them to read lore details about our favourite characters, to get some things right, recieve new ideas, ask questions. I really hope that some of them will join and the creation result will be even better than the fantastic comics before!

Alright, lads. HK comics are on their way AND I found a service in China that will let me buy items from local China vendors and ship them to me while offering English service for very reasonable fees. I am going to be looking for other rare comics or rare books for SF and KOF and will be snatching them up.
 
I have already managed to locate a copy of End of NESTs, a rare KOF manga only released as a convention exclusive. This book has NEVER been scanned online as far as I can see though the first two parts of the series have. The vendor had 3 copies available and I bought all 3 copies to try and preserve them considering how rare they seem to be. I am going to endeavor to recover and scan what I can for HK comics that are not otherwise available online since I consider their contents to be extremely significant to the history of SF and KOF and, as time goes on, they'll only get harder and harder to find and I would hate to see them lost to time.

If i remember correctly, it was 170 USD for my Chun-Li/Li-Fen cover art.
 

 
It probably differs depending on the kind of work, number of characters and how much of their full body is showing.

@ShockDingoQuasimodox is a phenomenal artist! I commissioned him to do one of my comic covers a little while ago, and I'm very pleased with the final result. He's really good, and deserves to have his work recognized!

It's a common recurring character designs and boss themes in CAPCOM internal in 90s and 80s having 3 Chinese assassin girls, The wiki forget and didn't mentioned the parallels between the group of 3 Chinese girl assassin bosses in two different games
 
By the looks of it Chun's designer Akiman may had took some inspiration from "Isuke" Kouichi Yotsui  Designs in Strider's Pooh Sisters for Chun-li
 
In-fact the others in Capcom and Akiman probably took more direct inspiration from it again when doing character enemies for Warriors of Fate, 
Which Akiman did also work in that game and where it had another set of its own version of  3 Chinese Assassin Girls.
 
The Mei Assassin in Warriors of Fate. 美 - mĕi (beauty in Chinese) Chinese mean beautiful, pretty. 
So it's more like The Beautiful Assassins, The difference Mei Assassin to the Pooh sisters is that they are not sisters. Since Mei isn't represented as their last name.
 
And also don't forget that Warriors of Fate did borrow a lot of references from Strider and obviously Street fighter. 
 
From Strider's Pooh Sisters
 

 
To Warriors of Fate's Mei Assassins' 
 

 
 

I think Ton Pooh was the early inspiration for Chun-Li back in her early design stages

@Lord_Vega@Chun-Li_Forever
Capcom Artwork Team's official account is sharing details and sketches about Chun Li's preliminary idea back in 1988, when she still was named Zhìlì, used MANTIS-Style kung fu and was to be GEN'S DAUGHTER, because Bison would've murdered Gen and Dorai still didn't exist. Many of her movements were blatantly reused by Capcom later for Gen in the Alpha series.
Interesting that they already thought about the HIGH JUMP mechanic (down, up). Also, down/forward and down/back would've produced a slow low crawl, as it was possible in Fatal Fury 2.

In my personal opinion, Chun-Li received the most love visual wise in the game

Capcom def paid more attention to the waifus of the game, which explains why they tend to look better than the male characters.
 
Personally, SFV is my favorite when it comes to the characters visually. Not just with how they look, but the animations and follow-throughs of some of the moves (most notably Season 3 onward).
I feel that almost every SFV female character looks like the best they've ever looked before. I think this is the best version of Chun-Li from a visual standpoint. And some of my favorite male characters that I think look really good in SFV are M. Bison, G, Zeku, Urien, and Vega. I know there are some misses like Ken's face, Abigail's bulldog face and head-to-body proportions, and Kage looking like the Spirit Halloween Store version of Evil Ryu. But I do feel there are more hits than misses when it comes to the visual aspect of Street Fighter 5.
 
I started in my previous comment that Bengus's story artwork does feel rushed, which explains the terrible art character stories for the first 16 characters. And as Daemos said, the ending arcade artworks look great too. 
 
 
The devs stated that the SF characters have abnormally bigger hands and feet to serve as visual markers for where their normals are spaced. Much easier to see the footsie range of a big fist or foot rather than a normal sized proportionate one.

I agree there's some hits and misses with SFV in game, but like @Chun-Li_Foreversaid, the animations, especially in the later seasons are top notch. I'm one of the few that love Abigail, but him & G are among some of the best animated. All the little actions inbetween moves show off so much personality and charm. I hope that continues in SF6. Another thing I like is that more characters have extras to their standing animations, heck even Ryu after some time shifts from his fighting stance and starts to do some poses. In SF6, I do hope they bring back special intros and things that really push forward that visual flair.
