turning Street Fighter into anime was a mistakeAlpha series is putrid
Like half of third strike's cast is easily worse, but you just wanted to have a /pol/ack euphoric moment
>>12514375There's no high school girl pantsu flashes in 3rd Strike.
>>12514391One of the high school girls in 3rd Strike is barely wearing anything at all and the other one isn't even wearing panties under her ninja pants.
>>12514368>high-T chainsmokersLolono. FGC is filled with sweaty horny little adults, now turned into "uncs" as the kids say these days...There's not much to discuss about fightan, save for the technical stuff, which in this case gets you back to sweaty nerds.Ain't nobody going to discuss the bruce lee era of fightans, It's all coomershit now and has always been like that since SF2 got popular first with Chun-Li (As we recall, she was the only female fighter in the roster), then Cammy.Now it's everywhere and the default, because that lures in coombrains and cosplayers trying to make a livingDead or Alive in '96 was already cashing in the coomies, culminating in the ""timeless masterpiece"" that is DoA VolleyballGet used to ignoring it or just embrace like a degenerate, who cares anymore lol.
Plot twist: OP just wanted Sakura's legs on the 'log.
>>12514496Ibuki and Elena are interesting characters. Sakura's entire concept is "high schooler that wears an impossibly tiny skirt that lusts after the protagonist".
>>12514373Street Fighter was always anime.
>>12514664"No."
>>12514669Hokuto no ken
>This is anime
>japanese animation is not anime
>literally a ripoff of an american 80's action b-movie>anime

Guys we're getting off topic. This thread isn't about whether Street Fighter 2 was "anime" (an incredibly wide-compassing term). This thread is about Sakura being designed to appeal to mouthbreathing sissies who will buy anything with a hot schoolgirl in it.
>>12514368I agreed with this thread the last time you posted it and I still agree with it.
>>12514618>""timeless masterpiece"" that is DoA VolleyballUnironically true and real.
Sexy girls are good for your soul
>>12514368I know /vr/ is far too gone to care about this and not just fling shit all day but, in one of the Gamest magazines, a few fans do show some displeasure towards Sakura due to her being too moe for the visual style Street Fighter used to have before and being clearly aimed at otaku, so even among the Japanese some people weren't happy with the series going from exaggerated martial artist to underage tomboys.
>>12514813this is a boner-fied fact
I genuinely don't see the issue in adding a teen girl character when there was already a white chick who presented her ass to the player if she won.
>>12514816You don't get to say no to these things, there's only yes and abstain.A lot of people said yes and capcom is only happy to oblige
Ki/chi blasts are anime
>>12514956>NOOOO RYU WAS PRODUCING FIRE, IT WASN'T CHI!!
>>12514956Chi blasts are wuxia. I'm not in this argument, but it's reductive to call chi blasts animeThey're a common martial arts trope, Akira Toriyama was a huge fan of kung fu films, and because Japan has some shared culture with China, Japanese aren't unaware with the connection between martial artists and controlling energy blasts. It's literally what qigong is about, chi control, and why shit like double jumping exists. Ninjas are arguably Japanese wuxiaWesterners call them fireballs because of Ken and because they had no familiarity with it, and that's why they think it's a Space Battleship Yamato reference even that just inspired the name.
>>12515129>evenEven THOUGH it just inspired the name hadouken
>>12514664Alpha literally changed the character designs to match the literal actual anime movie at the time, so if SF was "always anime", it still means Alpha made it "MORE anime" than it was
Red knickers
Sakura defeated in a street fight and subjugated to gang rape
I kick your ass with Sakura
>>12514368You hate Sakura? What are you, gay?>>12514373Street Fighter was always anime styled, it's just that as time went on it switched styles to reflect what was popular in each era.>>12514669This literally looks like old Hokuto no ken posters.>>12514683>Western box artLmao nice try, disingenuous faggot.
>>12514816Do you know what issue that is?I may be incorrect, but as near as I can tell, this claim is a misquotation of this interview in "All About Street Fighter ZERO 2", which actually says the exact opposite, that everyone loved her almost immediately.
>>12514368You can pay idols to step on you?
>>12514368You're gay.>>>/lgbt/
Fit tomboys are the best women and you cannot convince me otherwise.
>>12514683>American cover of a game nobody played
>>12514802>hot schoolgirlSakura's not even hot. She's a tomboy.
>>12517174>Sakura's not even hot. She's a semen demon i don't get this post
>>12517192Anon... Only gay men are into tomboys.
>>12517195>Only gay men are into sexy womenstill don't get it
>>12517215>implying straight men like their women to act like menAnon..... come on.
>>12517195There are many women I'd describe as cute, and some I'd describe as sexy, but it's tomboys that I call "hot." They'll ride your baloney pony 'til it's literally burned and they won't talk your ear off.
>>12517249>he says as he posts the demure romantic girly girl with giant tits
>>12517257She's very tomboy. Yuffie is moreso, obviously.
>>12514650Sakura is a genius with a really high IQ, remember her other setting? I bet you don't but she learnt how to use gouki fighting style and techniques just from imitating him.Same applies to ryu techniques yet she is brutal in fights if you can control her well.Ibuki grace was the whole ninja nopan girl with huge ass.
>>12517263>tomboyThat word has lost all meaning. Tobody fags are the biggest idiots around.
>>12514368FUCK OFF TRANNY SMITH!
>>12514368>btw I am gayWe got it
>>12517241What's more boyish about Sakura compared to Chun or Cammy?
>>12517249That's not a tomboy.This is a tomboy.
