wow great and epic and kinda mehh but both good i now the begining movies
The spheres around Oni are the prayer beads Akuma usually wears around his neck. At the start of a match his pre-fight intro shows him ripping them off his neck and them floating around him.
I agree that rival battles would be more interesting than these endings... both of them are basically just "grr I'm powerful" without any relation to the plot.
@1 I was gonna say Akuma only needs 1 more to make his wish, to finally be able to talk like a normal person.
Evil Ryu really is vicious. Giving in to the Satsui no Hadou just to fight. My god!
It'd be funny if the rival battle is each other, they come in and do Shun Goku Satsu on each other only to repel it. Then it would be awesome.
Not saying the story matters but Evil Ryu makes 3S almost non-canon.
As it stands, I'm not convinced that Evil Ryu is canon. His ending shows no sign of him getting turned back, despite the fact that we know he's his normal self after the tournament due to the endings of other characters (like Gouken). Seems pretty random if you ask me.
I'm also surprised nobody's posted to Ono's twitter page to get his comments.
@#12
They could pull an okie doke, and have gouken die again to save ryu from the satsui no hado(thus keeping gouken out the storyline again) and that crater in his chest. So when 3s ryu pops in he knows the denjin hadoken, shin shoryuken(both are the metsu version in sf4) and seems to be pure again.
It could make sense and keep gouken outta 3s story arc.
@12 thats why we will be getting another Flocking version of Street fighter 4 or something in the middle of 3S and 4 to sho why 3S is still cannon..... Trust me im kinda worried about the story as well.....
correction: meant the metsu hadoken possibly being replaced by denjin in 3S as a form of purity.
@12
I thought evilryu was just a non-canon what-if character appealing to all the hardcore alpha fans or something. 3s should still be canon.
(Evil Ryu is so salty...which is strange because he won.)
About Gouki, I read somewhere that those beads are to limit a god's power so he wouldn't accidentally kill a mortal being while on earth.
Oni ripping them off before the fight could make that a fact, though I'm still not sure.
It could also have him relate to Hachiman, the japanese God of Warriors... but that's just a guess on my part.
I'm not sure if Akuma and Oni are the same character. I've got a feeling that Juri will be Akuma's apprentice as she seems to have the same goals as him.
Well here's a thought maybe the beads were meant to seal Akumas full power and the hole on Ryus chest awoke his dark hado because of either his will to win or survive at any cost...
im sure #1 was joking when he said they were dragonballs.. gosh (-_-)
@#21
yea i know 3s wasnt the first of the series, but i believe ryu had them 3 moves as super art choices anyways( didnt he have a 2 stock denjin lol)
I didnt mention it cause capcom is redoing 3s for consoles. with so called additional content which im assuming it gonna be story related seeing how they said no gameplay tweaks.
@12
Evil Ryu has always been a non-cannon "What-if" type character, and this is no different. I mean, normal Ryu is still in the game alongside his evil counterpart and there can't be two Ryus now can there?
It's a non-canon "fun" character
I think Oni's parents didn't show enough love to him, like you know how a girl turns out to be a whore because the lack of a Male role model...its kinda like that with Oni....only he aint sucking peeps or anything like that.....as for Evil Ryu....he sold out, that jerk.
#MrPFloyd:
Didn't even pay attention to your post.
It was an abvious sarcasm. I've been wandering the reason of the beads ever since I saw the 1st alts for Gouki and Gouken.
How Evil ryu came to be in SSFIV AE - Akuma possess Ryu.
*Note* when he talk he sounds like Akuma, his lust for blood and fights to the death. Red Eyes...
How Oni came to be in SSFIV AE - Akuma possess Gouken.
*Note* His stance is just like Gouken only a bit higher. His dragon punch is like Goukens ultra 1. Red Eyes...
:) I wonder what their alt custome look like? hah
Oni is searching for the final dragon ball imbedded in Evil Ryu's chest.
Seirously, these two are badass, but they are ruining AE with even more shotos. They could have added new characters instead.
Well, thank god MvC3 is coming out in less than a month.
Evil Ryu is canon. Oni isn't.
The only time Evil Ryu actually appears in Street Fighter canon is at the end of the first World Warrior tournament. According to the Street Fighter Alpha series, Sagat, the defending champion, crushed Ryu, and then extended his hand to help Ryu up after thinking that he had won. Ryu was so consumed with the desire to win that he gave into the Satsui no Hadou ("Evil Intent" in the American version) and executed a Metsu Shoryuken, scarring Sagat's chest and his pride.
(Actually Evil Ryu is canon as soon as Daigo switches back to him.
:P)
Damn and I thought the street fighter story was ruined with SFIV now this pretty much is nail in the coffin.
I did'nt realize your impeccable vision. I mean yeah, SF story was eck to beguin with but now I don't know what's going on, it already had enough questions now theres more.
Also mad cuz Bears are 0 to 14 but thats besides the fact.
Gouken does not really have to die again in my opinion.. Ryu could have easily seen Gouken use these techniques and spent the time mastering them. Gouken could just go into the mountains or something just to live peaceful and alone. Also maybe IV is the last of evil ryu. Maybe Gouken being there to help him deal with the dark energy, finally sealed it off. Perhaps knowing his master is not dead afterall finally put him at ease. And then Third Strike begins.
Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma.. Damn.. I wonder if Daigo or Tokido will switch mains after seeing this.
Anyways, enough of that. I think these two are a welcome addition to the roster. It gives Super a little more FLAVOR if you ask me. The only issue I'm seeing here is if these two become playable at tourneys then will we see them monopolizing character selections? I hope to heavens no.
Now if only they would bring in Rolento and any body else in those two obvious character slots left.. then it would really make my day!
hmm... The endings were, I don't know, eh? Nohting really speacial, and to be honest, I would rather have them be secrect boss characters were you need a code to use them. I think they'll be find, but I don't think they're that big of a deal. But enough beating a dead horse, HOW ABOUT THEM PACKERS! WAHOO!!
#47 How does 2 more shoto-clones add more flavor to a game? I really want to know
well, don't know about the rest of you, but i was holding out for Evil El Fuerte... ;p
However, Oni, aka: Evil Gouken? That I'll take! Looks waaaay more interesting than Evil Ryu. Original looking move set. Could well become a secondary to my Gouken main (hell, maybe even primary). Assuming they're unlocked in the Tokyo arcades soon, I'll go check him out...
Capcom banning youtube accounts. Raging at gamers technical knowhow. News @ 8.
