@Darc_Requiemplease go check how many costumes you can save 😁
 
 

Gorgeous animation.
 
Makes me wish we could get a whole game in that style though 😄

I....I want more anime adaptations of Street Fighter. With all the collabs, it'd be golden to see more of these, but you know, a fulll on OAV or series.

Gorgeous animation.

@Darc_Requiem
Its didn't last long. LMAO
Your right, as usual 
 
 

ED!!!!!

Getting myself an arcade stick specifically for when Ed drops

G is real! It's a Christmas miracle!

The trailer has the 2nd appearance of G. I hope that hints at him coming in season 2 lol
 
 

110% predictable but love it

Happy 40th!

Today is my 40th birthday, any legit reveal on Ed would be an appreciated gift lol

amazing that they include the psx and saturn exclusive scene
 
 
 
 
 

On JP
"and felt it would be a shame to not show some skin since he is such a big-framed character."
 
There's even an NPC in Nayshall who talks about JP's body built, saying he pass fuckton time training in the gym and that he could crush him (the NPC) with one hand
 
Just funny to notice they remarked that, because effectively between his finesse based style and the emphasys on ranged mystical attacks is easy to miss they built him has an absolute wrecking machine

As @BornWinneralready linked Ryoredcyclone's Twitter post detailing that,
勝負あり Shōbu ari (far right, Honda's left shoulder): "victory" in Classical Japanese (literally, "the match is set"). The same writing was flashed in the background of Honda's SF2 stage.

日本一 Nippon ichi (or Nihon ichi; second right, Honda's back), "Best in Japan". Incidentally, it's the same catchphrase Mai Shiranui says during her winpose since Fatal Fury 2.
大一番 Ōichiban (second left, Honda's right shoulder), "The great first". The decisive match in sumō to determine the championship.
満員御礼 Man'in onrei (far left, Honda's left side), "Thanks for the full house". Banners with this writing are shown at sumō tournaments when the house is indeed full.

大入 Ōiri (Honda's shirt), "large attendance". The same writing was shown on the red lantern in the background of Honda's SF2 stage.

 
 
Of course I remember, having already written about it at the time.
It was Ippei Kuri's manga Kurenai Sanshirō (1968), aka Judo Boy in France, Italy and Spain and O Judoca in Brazil. It was adapted into an anime series in 1969, with many details changed. The original story was the first ever in Japan to depict a muay thai villain, who killed Sanshirō's father but lost an eye in the process (two years before Kajiwara started to use so many muay thai villains in his manga who cemented the image). So Sanshirō is searching for his dad's killer but only has the clue that the killer is one-eyed. Every episode he encountered an one-eyed villain who bothered someone somewhere, but it was never his foe. Yes, the father who took the eye of his muay thai-user killer before dying is a detail Capcom recycled for DAN. Every episode, Sanshirō ALWAYS jumped into action by grabbing his kimono and wearing it in the air, so we know that Ryu should've referenced that in SF2. You also can see Abel's tornado throw in the opening. In the original manga, the villain already used the rolling heel kick who then Kajiwara copied in his Kurenai no chōsensha five years later.
Incidentally, Ippei Kuri then became TATSUNOKO's third president. He died this July at 83.
 

So far I've really enjoyed SFA3 manhua. LOVED Vega/Claw's character development: getting the claw, the snake tattoo, becoming one of the four kings. Would like to see something similiar at Udon or Capcom!!!
 
Another question. What do all of the writings here mean?

Happy 🦃 Day to all my story thread peeps!

JP's Outfit 3 definitively references the "Cerulean clothes" that were introduced in chapter 1 of the SF6 comic
 

 
The robes are obviously a deep-hued blue (Cerulean) but that's not all. The two designs that are embroidered into the clothes are a mandala and an organic-looking heart design. The heart design is meant to reference the hero who sacrificed his own heart in the Nayshall legend.

In honor Turkey day, for those that remember these silly commercials.
 
 

Happy turkey day
