Chaos! Fighting games that seriously have let you down...

I dunno...maybe it's just the fact that I didn't find any of the new characters in the SF3 series that appealing. Except maybe for Dudley, he's kind of cool...but all the others...blah...didn't care for the way they looked or played...they just bored me in general...they certainly don't compare to the classic SF2 roster or even the ones in Alpha...but I guess I'm biased.

The only new skins I really see are from the returing characters, including Guile clone Remy, Hugo and Necro bearing some stretch simularities. Otherwise I see them all as different and 100% new.

...but NOTHING compares to MOKOTO!!

Zangief >> Hugo
Guile/Nash >> Remy
Dhalsim >> Necro
Guy >> Yang

Pretty much! :chick:

I think Yang plays closer to Fei-Long, but I don't use the same style with him. I don't know anyone from 3rd strike that's a guy clone really.

In terms of special moves:

Elena -> Cammy; Cannon Spike and Thrust Kick are obvious, with Elena's spinning kick replacing the knuckle
Hugo -> Zangief; Obvious
Remy -> Guile; Obvious
Necro -> Dhalsim/Blanka; Stretching and air drills from Dhalsim along with electricity and rolling (spinning forward) from Blanka
Urien -> M. Bison; Flying Knee Drop's multiple angles cover Head Stomp and Flying Psycho Fist, Chariot Tackle for Psycho Crusher, Dangerous Headbutt for Scissors Kick
Sean -> Dan; Obvious
Q -> E.Honda; Slashing attack for Hundred Hand Slap, Dashing for Sumo Head Butt (And that's pretty much all both of them need :p)

And probably a few others I can't think of right now.

None of them play in such a way that you can use the exact techniques and setups from prior SFs, but that almost always happens in sequels as things get tuned and changed around.

Name a 2D game with better animation. One.

I was gonna call SF3, but I haven't seen the game yet.

You're really making some odd connections there, 'Deus. With Q, Hugo, Urien, I think that you're grasping at straws.

Well, I agree with him that Hugo was put in there for Zangief players. I'd say Urien has far more differences than similarities with Bison, although I do see how you can come to that conclusion. And I think Q has more in common with Balrog than Honda.

Guys, this is blatently sarcasm. Don't look into it too much.
