Street fighter, Final Fight, Slam Masters, and Rival schools are all the same universe (though they're weirdly trying to shove Strider in there as well now). Captain Commando takes place in Metro City, but in some cases it's referred to as being fictional, Darkstalkers, unless they retcon it heavily is not in the same universe, don't let the Udon comics fool you, heh. The world structure is totally different with people commonly aware of all these monsters running around with insane hunting guilds going after them, but showing such a lack of humanity, some people consider them worse than the Darkstalkers. Also most of the DS characters are ridiculously OP, Demitri can't be killed by sunlight due to that field you always see him surrounded in (it's said to withstand like 1 million degrees or something), plus Pyron is basically Galactus (cosmic power, made the Hutzil robots literally kill the dinosaurs to let the planet forcibly evolve and get richer before he'd consume it)...and in canon after Night Warriors Revenge, Demitri drank him dry. So no Hadoukens gonna make a dent in most of the cast.
 
Though you could potentially have the DS & DMC universes be canon with possibly minimal tweaking, but I dunno.

I'm sure it makes sense in context tho. 🙃

Indeed. Never underestimate the power of a typical, average anime highscooler lol

Well, i like that Rose look so i'm down for it.
 
Even if it's fake, respect for the dude who actually bothered to do a low poly version of Rose. Now that i spend my time in Blender i know what's up with this i can assure you he spend some time doing it.
 
 

Well Tohno Shiki can basically kill gods.... as long as they're alive that is.
And he got nothing on the redhead that kicks him in the face as greeting, she is realy damn broken.

All the game needs is a decent netcode 😭

Strider games take place an absurd amount of time in the future, like 2k years from SF storyline IIRC.

Why does she have heels? It looks out of place.

Lol, literally the first costume Lisa Lisa had in her first appearance in JoJo.
 

The sign is "DANGER! Don't play!", and then the writing becomes too small to be deciphered.
Sounds the perfect place for a ring out in the river.

Daigo will be a super and/or v-trigger a la Nadeshiko

Eh, dont sweat it, i am just being an asshole to make you feel bad.
Although, truth be told, not many people are aware of how terrible he has been.
 
Which is funny in a way.
On one hand, he is trying to modernize his country and leave the shackles of the extremes behind.
But at the same time, he has been doing some really nasty shit to his people.
 
He started as this symbol of hope, but after the assasination of the news reporter, everything went south, as you may expect.

I’ve never been this concerned about a fictional character 
 
 

Heh, thanks man, also thanks for posting, this was nice to see!
 
Yup, it was a publicity stunt to get RR in, oh and speaking of Steve Blum, he calls this celeb-cameo/starring-phenomenon Star Fucking, if I remember correctly. He was notably talking about it when Grey DeLisle-Griffin, Frank Welker and the usual Scooby Doo cast was deliberately left out of the recent cgi movie in favour of using Hollywood stars and sadly it's a more common issue facing animated movies and games.
 
A lot of times you'll get the usual voice actors left out of a big adaptation of a property to get the hype of celebrity voices in movies, but for a few years now, it's bled into games with mixed results. Now, I'm not against all Hollywood actors doing voice work, there's several that are awesome at it and welcome to try out. Ron Perlman is my go to example of an awesome on-screen & voice actor. Dude still is my favourite version of Clayface due to his take on him in BTAS.
 
The issue comes when you'll have an a/b-list celeb show up in a production, let's say there's a AAA revival of Vectorman and they have several voice actors, but for a cameo, you get Vin Diesel as the King of a Hot Rod planet....they're not going to adjust the pay, he'll get far beyond what most voice actors will get for a bit part and the main cast will get paid their normal amount.  Sometimes you'll get an animated feature filled with celebs, not actors and they're not really doing anything special with their voices, yet they get the lavish treatment that VAs do not get. The excuse of "well, you're not big names, we need to promote" comes up, but in the early Disney days, that wasn't an issue. Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, etc weren't stuffed to the gills (hah) with Hollywood types, they tended to go with singers and Broadway talents and they did gangbusters. Also, in the case of "Scooby!", the main VAs are good enough for the cartoons, so why not take a risk and keep the VAs and put them in the Silverscreen? The kids in the audience want to recognize the voices they always watch, they're not screaming to hear Gina Rodriguez, Amanda Seyfreid and Zach Efron.
 
In the past, at least for games,  it's even led to problems where a studio will get too hyped at nabbing a celeb, but then oops! The budget is impacted a LOT more than if they stuck to a normal cast, and so you're getting VAs having to do extra characters at a small extra or NO pay before it all ships.
 
I'm rambling a bit, but it's  a pretty controversial thing these days and often it can go from eyerolling annoyance to actually screwing up a game's budget and / or schedule. Tl;dr there's some gems like casting the late, great, Robin Williams, a Cate Blanchett or Sigourney Weaver, Judi Dench, or Patrick Stewart vs having a reality TV star or flavour of the month get a leading role in a big budget animated feature.

I agree completely, professional voice acting and on screen acting are two entirely different beasts, when companies try to cast big name actors to garner attention it sometimes works but sometimes it just doesn't. You have guys like Peter Dinklage cast as your companion robot Ghost in Destiny and you can tell the dude was just dialing it in for the paycheck. Honestly when they switched over to Nolan North it literally only improved.
 
Overall it feels like lose/lose. Well here's hoping out boy Keanu kills it in Cyberpunk 2077!
