She enjoys eating out carpets

>>6462692
See for a brief while Cammy had a sort of play catlike personality. I remember reading somewhere she was supposedly based on Gally. But since alpha she's basically either become a mindless Rei or a generic Army girl.

>>6462692

Chunners and Cammy were two of the most popular characters in the game so they were certain to include them in the intro to Super Turbo. Cammy does the tongue thing to show how she's dangerous. Ryu's in the intro because he's the main character kinda.

>>6462692
They put the female characters in the attract mode so teenage boys will be interested in what amounts to SFII pt. 5

>>6462807
>Cammy does the tongue thing to show how she's dangerous
How does that make her dangerous?

What the fuck is she wearing on her arms, really what the hell are any of them wearing

I always thought "street fighter" was a pretty poor name for the series since none of them look like street fighters, but rather over the top ethnic cliches or just weird cartoon characters, I always thought Fatal Fury was the "real street fighter" and wanted SF to have a different name for the franchise, of course I was a little kid

I think it doesnt matter, she might have something on her lips, maybe they were dry, it's just there either to build some mood and an excuse to animate anything or because the braindead Japanese mind needs to find anything they consider cute and this is what came to mind

>>6462780
I would like to hear more of this

>>6462874
Should they have called it "Fighting Street"?
The original game does have a fair amount of fighting on streets.

>>6462882
http://www.cammyfan.com/miscellaneous/gally-cammy/cammy-vs-gally.htm

>>6462910
They should rename the series The Road to Fighting Street as a callback to Ryu's ending in II.

>>6462874
>"Fatal Fury"
>most of the fights don't end with the other guy dying
lol

>>6462692
Thought from the thumbnail Cammy's shoulder was Chun's booty

>>6462874
Street Fighter 4 is when it really got silly, with a cartoonish fat guy whose belly wobbles as he moves, some korean chick who looks like that witch from power rangers, and a dr manhattan looking guy with a ying yang for a stomach who's just called 'Seth'. Might as well call him Steve.

>>6462692
I want to lick Cammy's sweaty armpits

>>6462874

The original name is "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior". I believe the actual tournament is called "World Warrior". The idea of 2 is a globe hoppin tournament for illegal non-sanctioned no holds barred fighting. This neccessitates character designs that reflect this. Remember, they didn't have MMA back then, so the option was boxing or sumo, or whatever, but not this.

>>6462987
>and a dr manhattan looking guy with a ying yang for a stomach who's just called 'Seth'
A red and blue guy in a diaper who's just called "Gill"

>>6463023
They should've called it International Mixed Styles Combat - The World Warrior Tournament II: Fighting in the Streets

>>6462816

>>6463040
>Street Fighter game gets extended title
AS IF !

>>6463047
Cobras are the Chad snakes.

>>6462952
they should make a new series called The World Warrior with characters from all capcom series and let you make a team of up to 3 characters.

>>6463057
That is legit a great idea, anon.
Maybe call it The World Warriors.

>>6462987
Street Fighter 4 is when it started feeling like fans were having too much say in things. A lot of elements that were either subtle or background fluff suddenly became overblown and hyped up to 11. Like the whole Evil Ryu things.

>>6462692
I think she is checking the direction the wind is blowing.

>>6462987
street fighter was always cartoony, the devs even said they wouldnt implement a move unleas the whole office was laughing.

>>6462987
Street Fighter 3 had a mutant russian guy with stretchy electric arms and a guy that's like 150 years old and literally yellow and fights with one arm and could double jump

>>6462987
And SF2 has Stretch Armstrong as a playable character. And Street Fighter Alpha brought high school girls fighting 7 foot tall muscular Russians.

Your post is peak "OLD GAME GOOD"

>>6463237
And Street Fighter 4 and 5 has EVILER RYU! AND SHINNER AKUMA. Sooooooooo fuck off.

>>6462987
>kid that fell out of a plane over the Amazon Rainforest and turned into a green beastman with electricity powers that turns into a ball and launches himself at you

>>6463241
And SF4 didn't introduce either of those things, so your post looks stupider than ever.

SF has been goofy shit since 2. You just don't want to admit it because you grew up with it.

>>6463245
Excuse me, sir, that is a true martial art and I won't have you besmirching the good name of electric eels everywhere.

>>6463246
No one said it wasn't silly, he said it REALLY got silly. it's a modifier that expressed an extreme shift. I'm happy to admit it was a bit off kilter. But as of 4 it got fucking retarded.

>>6463257
But it's really par for the course. Seth is just a robot. 3rd Strike had Twelve, who was straight out of Darkstalkers or Guilty Gear.

>>6463263
And 3 was a giant flop out the gate.

>>6463283
>And 3 was a giant flop out the gate.
Where are you taking that goalpost, anon?

>>6462987
You're target is way off. Things got more cartoony and sillier in Street Fighter Alpha, down to the art style. I personally never really liked how Sagat went from this tall, lanky but lean and well built looking muay thai fighter to this stupidly buff bodybuilding Thai Schwarzenegger looking atrocity who probably couldn't lift his leg that high in real life.
In straight comparison, Street Fighter 3 tried to be slightly more grounded even with shit like Gill walking around.

>>6463241
these only came several years after the original release.

>and a guy that's like 150 years old and literally yellow and fights with one arm and could double jump
I don't really mind that because it fits with the trope of some old mysterious kung fu master who's only holding in half of his real power, something that you'd expect from a series about martial arts fighting. I mean, it already had stuff like chi blasts from the start.

>>6463053
What are rattlesnakes

>>6463402
They're assholes and some of them are losing their rattles.

>>6463424
They're not losing their rattles; it's actually much more terrifying than that.

You know what will get a rattlesnake killed instantly? Someone hearing them rattle.
You know who that leaves around to breed more rattlesnakes? Rattlers with broken/defective rattles.
You know what's absolutely fucking terrifying to think about? 30 years from now, most rattlesnakes could have defective rattles, meaning that THEY can't warn you that you're too close, and YOU just fucking fall over and die from a mysterious pain that came from nowhere.

>>6463435

>>6463257
SF4 really isn't any more silly than 2, 3 or alpha.

>>6463435
That's a relatively new development over only the last few millennia since humans have started encroaching on other habitats more and more. For most of the last 70 million years or so their rattles were a handy warning sign.

>>6462874
>over the top ethnic cliches

Such as? Only one I can think of is Blanka, and he's just a green/yellow beastman, not really any race. The rest are all pretty indicative of what country they are from, minus Bison who is ambiguous ethnicity but his design still makes him clear he's a villain.

>>6462874
guaranteed replies.
An street doesnt have to be some place full of bikers and criminals, its meant to be a trip around the world to visit all different cultures like a chinese market las vegas or some motherfucking russian parking lot.

>>6466283
Remember when the Dark Hadou was just a vague idea of Ryu letting go of his mercy and not the actual dark side of the force.

>>6466283
I don't know why you would pick Blank when Dhalsim and even Guile are huge stereotypes, just because you want to signal that you don't personally find them offensive or don't know anything about a particular place, doesn't meant they aren't stereotypes and goofy as hell. Don't forget Zangief's original name was meant to be fucking Vodka Gobalsky.
>but Guile isn't meant to be offense cuck
I know retard, he's meant to desperately appeal to an American audience, created by a team Japanese guys who could only think of Top Gun and Hollywood flicks, a beefy brutish military man who's made easier and overpowered for the stupid American players.

>>6466715
None of them are MEANT to be offensive. I miss when people could just laugh shit off.

>>6466728
I think it's exactly the point. Everyone was just better off when we could all look at extreme racial stereotypes and have a good laugh. "Hah haha american jar head, lol yoga, quiet karate man" none of the characters were ever really portrayed negatively and everyone of them was some super badass.

>>6466734
>I think it's exactly the point.
Then you are not keeping track with the conversation. At least now you're admitting that they are indeed stereotypes, which is the point. Everyone admits the characters are goofy caricatures, even when supporting it and making it one of the longest lasting fighting games still more respected than shit like Smash.

>>6466734
>extreme racial stereotypes
SF2 doesn't have any extreme racial stereotypes. The closest thing you're going to get to that is Zangief dancing in his ending.

>>6462874
FF has it's share of wacky characters and martial arts cliches but designs of guys like Terry, Duck King, Yamazaki, etc look like street guys

>>6466715
You're using the word stereotype but I think you mean to say archetype. Guile embodies a military person. He has the "high and tight" crew cut (but exaggerated), America tattoos, camo pants, dog tags, that is all just basic things you would associate with someone in the military. It's like saying Ryu is a stereotype, but karate guys wear gis and black belts in real life, there's nothing "stereotype" about it, it's just reality.

>>6462910
Fighting Mount Rushmore.

Obviously.

>>6463381
Things got cartoonier in, literally, the cartoon. Chun's Interpol briefing on Shadaloo refers to Sagat as a "walking mountain of muscle." Also Bryan Cranston played Fei Long. Irrelevant, but, I always have to bring it up.

>>6466992
The stereotype is that the Japanese guy is a basic KARATE man who's personality is KARATE HIYAAAA and the American guy is a HOO RA GOOOO JOE man who's personality is HOO RA GOOOOO JOE

>>6463940
>>6464172
The whole of Morrigan and Lilith is innuendos man
One of their victory quotes are about "hot, sticky fluid"

>>6467067
Lilith makes me diamonds, always has.
Her innocent, aloof demeanor coupled with the sexual innuendos, and her haircut and face... everything about her just speaks to me. Would let her drain my cum/soul.

>>6467040
Because that's typically what you'd see. Guile is specifically an American air force member and karate is a Japanese martial art. It would make no sense to have Guile be the Karate man and Ryu be the military one.

This is an ancient game where they didn't have voice acting, FMVs, etc. The only asset they had was their ability to make large, colorful, and at the time, fairly detailed sprites, which is all they could use to convey in an instant what the character was all about. Keeping it simple and straightforward means no matter where on Earth you play the game or what your language is you can immediately know what a character is all about with just the visuals.

>street fighter was always cartoony, the devs even said they wouldnt implement a move unleas the whole office was laughing.
I have read this but I have a hard time believing it's 100% real because SF2 was never seen as a goofy or funny game back in the day. Waku Waku 7 is a goofy fighter, but SF2 was always a more or less serious fighting game with some funny bits and animations here and there. Capcom just have always been great when mixing realism with japanese humor. As some anon said here, when SF Alpha came things started to get more cartoony, some for better some for worse (Blanka was now a dumb monster).

>>6468342
>>6463169

SF2 was trying as damn hard as it could to have impressive realistic graphics for 1991. It's Alpha that tried to be cartoony.

>>6468342
>>6468460
Mortal Kombat was for its time realistic too, but it also tried to be cartoony.
Back in the day videogames were all considered silly by default, a serious game were simulations or rpg. Things like waku waku 7 or power instinct were just even more silly, as SF2 became the standard.

Useless trivia: Cammy is just a few months older than Sakura.

>>6468543
>Back in the day videogames were all considered silly by default,

No, that's retarded.

No way. You can even see that in the Mortal Kombat and SF2 Animated Movie, which were in the end, serious movies with some humor and funny bits here and there. The only ones that considered videogames silly were adults or parents. Kids and teenagers took them seriously for the most part, unless it was an obviously funny game like Parodius or other humorous games. The self-consciousness about being "lol, so random!" came much later. That's why I usually don't believe much a lot of the modern interviews about classic games.

>>6468598
>>6468597

Ironic or self-aware humor came way later, and is a post 2000's thing.

>>6468597
>>he thinks dhalsim was meant to be a serious portrayal of an indian martial artist
Read more about Capcom character creation (and Dalshim) here:
https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-design-a-street-fighter-character-pt-5-170711.phtml
Blanka and Dalshim were not "funny" characters. They were just strange fighters made to spice up the roster. They were seen as weird and interersting characters instead of clowns. That's why I don't believe you were around back then. Blanka has a couple of movements that are funny but for the most part is a wild "no-shit" creature. Dalshim was inspired by pop culture films of the 70s and 80s. He was more like a homage to those movies and less of a clown. If you see his original design, now that was weird and stupid, but they changed it a lot ot be more "realistic" and cool.

>>6468604
>Ironic or self-aware humor came way later, and is a post 2000's thing.
Agree.

>>6468342
>because SF2 was never seen as a goofy or funny game back in the day.

Just because you took it seriously doesn't mean it wasn't goofy. And the reason I didn't think it was goofy was because I was a dumb kid. I also thought it was commonplace for gangsters to walk around town with chainsaws because that's what movies and video games taught me.

>>6463381
the SFII anime had a huge influence on the franchise, that's where we first saw sagat as a big muscley guy, bison going crazy about psycho power, chun li having huge tits, cammy being mind controlled, ken / ryu as teens, ken having long hair, etc

>linking to some shitty destructoid fan insight
you are coming of as afwully zoomerish, trying to make me look bad by saying "i wasnt there" only comes as projecting.
This entire time i was thinking in akiman's himself quotes on character design.

>Were the “weird” characters like Dhalsim and Blanka also Nishitani’s idea?
>Yasuda: “The characters for SFII were checked by three people: myself, Nishitani, and another developer. We’d go through the moves one-by-one and approve them. There was this unspoken rule we operated by, where “It wasn’t good until it made us laugh.” Take Dhalsim’s punch, for example. In the actual planning documents, we set a limit on punches, that they couldn’t extend further than 128 pixels. But in that process of reviewing the characters, we decided to extend it a little further, then a little further, then a little further more… until one day we saw how long his arms came out and everyone cracked up. That was the moment we knew it was good.
>That attitude transformed the atmosphere of the development. Joking around and laughing became the rule of the day. Blanka, too, started out with normal skin color, but as we were flipping through the pallete and trying out different colors, green came up, and everyone burst out laughing. It was like, “What?! Why would this human have green skin..!?” We thought it was hilarious.”

Bigmex is actually a very intelligent guy who has happened to write a lot of very insightful posts about character and game design.

They talk about Blanka being a "human with green skin" but we all know that him is a scary beast in the final game and not a regular human who happens to have green skin. It's nice that they laughed creating some characters but that doesn't mean that the final game is all a crazy parody with goofy chartacters. They polished a lot of the concepts to be more realistic in the final release, even if they included some light hearted humor too.

I'm not gonna reply to all these posts, what I meant is that SF4 felt disproportionately more cartoonish than the other games, even 5. I still can't get over Ryu's puppy dog eyes or the fucking fireworks sounding fanfare for the super KO. Dan felt more like a parody of himself than a parody of Ryo/Robert/Yuri like he was intended, ironic since he's actually in his strongest in this game.

>>6469480
Well Dan is actually a good example of how fanboys basucally flanderized shit to an absurd degree. Dan was a hidden goof. A subtle jab to your rival. But then Dan basically got Deadpool'd. Everyone knew him as the joke character who sucked and that's all he became to a more extreme degree.

>>6469502
I thought it'd be more appropriate that Dan looks like he's a bad character on the surface, but he's actually got serious potential. Considering his style is called "The Strongest Style" and his projectiles being short range, he could've been a shoto with punishing close range power but vulnerable to zoning.

>>6469502
They really fucked him up in SF4, imo. He's way too comical it's just embarrasing to watch. Most characters came out that way 2bh. I'm glad V at least made them more likable.

>>6469508
Well that's the thing and part of the joke. If you put Dan in a game that fit him he'd probably do really well.

>>6469552
Sounds like how Yamcha gets mocked for being weak and dying easily but is still one of the strongest humans on the show.

>>6469610
Right. A bunch of new fags and fanboys repeat a joke ad nauseum because some internet faggots made it a meme and now it's just not funny.

>>6469610

They didn't said that they like him though.
Also, everyone in DB sucks.

>>6470031
He was actually good in Alpha 2 before they nerfed him to fit the joke.

>>6470083
What? Dan is bottom tier in that game.

>>6470093
Wait, was Dan in Alpha 1? i'm pretty sure that he was at least decent in his first game but then nerfed later.

For a joke character, Dan has such a dark backstory.

>>6470108
You could easily give his backstroy to an edgylord and it would work really well.

>>6470097
You are correct, Dan fared a ton better in A1

>>6469686
Gotta admit, as stupid and off this show was they included some details I didn't expect and they didn't need to. It even feels like it's trying to capture an "anime" look at times, just failing at it.

>>6470038
>And being one of the strongest humans means fuck all in a show where space aliens regularly show up to punch people to death.
You forget that the show wasn't always about aliens and Yamcha was one of the earliest characters introduced.

I didn't say otherwise you illiterate fuck. I said the joke got out of hand. He went from hahah to OMG LOL SO WACKY DUMB! You're a moron. How's about learning to read before you say anything about anyone. Also Pocket Fighter? The game were everyone is a giant gag? Get fucked.

Oh fuck is fanart thought it was an actual movie lol

Thats an urban legend, it only happened on puzzle fighters as a gag.

I doubt it's that. Companies, especially those that produce rival games in the same genre, will riff on others.

Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy did it
Driver and GTA did it

In her USF4 intro and ending she's cruising around the world with Dan and Blanka

Doesn't Dan have one of the strongest attacks in the entirety of MVC2? Granted it's more of a suicide move, but considering the tag team aspect, sacrificing Dan to get rid of your opponent's pesky character makes a lot of sense. What I meant was if Dan's damage output was higher than Ryu's or Ken's while his range was still lower, I still think that wouldn't have made him decent in MvC2, but probably mid tier at best in others.

>>6472706
It started in the Sakura manga, the same manga that introduced Karin before she ever made it in any game.

>>6474128
It's a fun read but my copy had two pages printed out of order. I don't know if that's a common issue with it and I've since lost it to double check.

I WANT TO TICKLE HER PIIIITS

>>6470031
damn they really said retarded in that. i searched it up thinking it was an edit or a fan translation and its legit. different world back then

>>6475709
Damn, I didn't notice till you said it. I thought it was an edit at first too. No way Sakura would be that crass.

>>6476102
Tell me about it. Sakura's a nice girl. Now Karin on the other hand would use such language.

>>6476102
People were more casual about saying retarded back then. Although I agree it's out of character for Sakura to be saying it, that's also what makes it funny.

>>6476127
>that's also what makes it funny.
It's like Dan's fighting was so bad it made her speak way out of character.

>>6476102
Wasn't that bad a word back then...or people simply became too thin skinned. idk

>>6476132
It wasn't a bad word in the 80's, but by the 90's it was. It was considered a formal term until being corrupted.

I wouldn't even say it was bad in the 90s, kids in school said it all the time, it was in FF7. I don't know when it became taboo, I'm guessing mid 2010s when all the other shit hit the fan and therapy kittens became a thing.

>>6476159
>kids in school said it all the time
That's not really a good standard at all, I remember getting reprimanded by adults for it.
>I don't know when it became taboo, I'm guessing mid 2010s
Oh, so you don't know what you're talking about then.

If retard was acceptable language, you would have heard it in a lot more cable television than we did. It was more lax then, but it still wasn't a word you repeated in front of a parent or teacher.

>>6476143
It's not a bad word NOW it's a fucking scientific term with a very scientific meaning.

You just grew up with some Puritan parents who put you in church school or something, retard wasn't a cuss tier "bad word" to anyone other than the biggest squares and do gooders

It was on the same level as gay back then, technically "not nice" but not considered a cuss at all

The usage of retard had popped up in other unexpected places as well, even from a character that's eight years old.

That said, you're far more likely to see it being used in a WD-translated game.

This. Now we have reached the point where we need to change language so not to offend the snowflakes. What's next, banning the use of the word slow because it's offensive? Means the same thing.

>>6476813
>>6476834
>>6476959
Okay, gay retards.

>>6476813
"Retard" hasn't been a scientific term for years. It's "intellectually disabled." It was changed because it was colloquial, like "idiot" (basically the archaic form of "retard" in the medical field).

>>6477020
>intellectually disabled

That is the politically correct term. There was no need to change it. You don't change what works. Laymen and doctors can share the same word. It was only changed because of overly sensitive babies getting their feeling hurt.

>>6477020
>>6477150

So it is like fat acceptance retards trying to ban the term obese but this instance it was successful?

>>6477160
Pretty much. Can't wait for in 20 years to get written up by HR for saying obese. It will happen.

>>6476959
durrdurr I'm pretending to not understand nuance and social norms

being autistic is not virtuous, retard

>>6477020
>"Retard" hasn't been a scientific term for years.

Fiction can't have sex because it's offensive. You can't say dirty words either. Also no violence. In fact all fiction should have no conflict of any kind. Being exposed to things makes me uncomfortable.

>>6477418
unless its against people I dont like, but still it should be cartoony stupid doodoo violence like rick and morty hahaha heeeheee im gonna go cry on twitter its that time of day again

Is she ticklish

>>6477416
Yes, "retard" is also a word in the dictionary with an independent meaning from the connotation. As in, something held back or stifled; handicapped in the literal sense. Like we could say all this off topic quibbling over semantics in the translations of 30 year old Japanese video games "retards," or is a "retardant" of, genuine discussion.

It doesn't get brought up much these days, but crippled has a bad connotation to it now too. My grandparents would say it and back then it was normal, but if you call someone crippled today you get dirty looks. You're """supposed""" to say handicapped.

>>6477418
Unless it's against straight christian white males, then it's stunning and brave.

Boomer thread

>>6478482
More like a zoomer thread. A bunch of 20 year olds complaining about "ethnic stereotypes" and the usage of the word "retarded".

Almost thought I was on reddit.

>>6478615
That's a very bad interpretation of the last posts of this thread but I wouldn't expect much from boomer reading comprehension, gay retard(not offensive)
