Comments on: Another Street Fighter cartoon review! http://www.scary-crayon.com/blog/01-11-2006/sfguile/ It's Scary-Crayon's blog, baby. Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:29:50 -0500 hourly 1 By: Wes http://www.scary-crayon.com/blog/01-11-2006/sfguile/#comment-3087 Wes Sat, 04 Nov 2006 08:06:21 +0000 http://www.scary-crayon.com/blog/?p=106#comment-3087 <i>You DO realize Steve Engleheart wrote "The Flame and The Rose" right? The guy who wrote Batman's "The Laughing Fish"</i> Nope... and in any case, I'm not sure what that has to do with an episode of the Batman cartoon. Explain? <i>Anyway, I find your review of SF: The series a bit...uninformed, for one, it's second season is actually it's best...</i> Er... it's been a while since I wrote this, but remind me where I said that one season was better than another. I will say that both of them were flipping insane, though! "...and the Cammy trilogy was far closer to the games than the movie..." I completely agree. Note that I wrote, "...for almost all intents and purposes this could be regarded as a legitimate continuation of the events depicted in the live action movie." The key word there is <i>"almost"</i>. I didn't include a lengthy list of all of the continuity discrepancies, choosing to mention only a few, but if I were to write an extensive comparison piece Cammy's backstory would indeed warrant a bit of discussion. <i>...if the series had a little more leverage it would have been incredible, but no, no, you have to pick on a few things you don't agree with.</i> Dude. This is a humor site (mostly, anyway)! My purpose in writing this review was not to defend the series or point out ways that it could have been better -- my purpose was to summarize and mock the wacky developments and hopefully inspire a few chuckles while doing so. Sorry you were not amused! You DO realize Steve Engleheart wrote "The Flame and The Rose" right? The guy who wrote Batman's "The Laughing Fish"

He told me that the animators went WAY out of their way to make sure Chun Li had the best animation they could offer. Make your own jokes here. :) You know...back in the day, I had a friend who worked at Capcom.

By the way Wes, my friend invented a new food idea: a fucking microwaved bannana. He says they actually aren't that bad, he covers them in whip cream. I've heard they have a tendencie to catch on fire though, so watch out for that. I've also made chessy marshmallows, but I used shredded cheese and couldn't get it to stick, but the bit I tasted was alright. I also managed to make cheezy grahams, but with a real graham cracker. It tasted alright until about halfway through, then it was just to much. Any show with that line about "stolen cheese" is memorable.

Animation stinks, the fight scenes stinks, the characterization is moronic, and anime Chun-Li and anime Cammy were cuter than their American counterparts. But there's still something about Street Fighter that brings in people to buy stuff even today. Lord knows this toon wouldn't have been anywhere near as memorable if it didn't have the wacky cast of the 2D fighter.

(I at least want to dig-up the "stolen cheese" episode I mentioned). And, I also really dug the Darkstalkers cartoon when they showed it friday afternoons on UPN. I didn't see too many episodes. I think the "Gonna be trouble" song during the credits was awesome, and felt the relationship between Felicia and that kid who I guess was her apprentice but seemed more like her underage boyfriend was awesomely weird.

Yeah, the eps you're talking about are from the second set -- way back when I did the first review, I actually had a tough time deciding whether to review the Rose ep or the one with Chun-Li and the viking from afar. As you see, the dancing statue and Blanka's murderous rampage were enough to sway me in the opposite direction. And I'm totally planning to review the ep with the wild alien child someday. That one was <i>hilarity</i>. Good luck finding these sets at the dollar store -- they're actually <i>somewhat</i> rare these days as far as retail goes, but they're all over eBay and Half.com. Go wild. ;) And don't feel bad about liking the show! I somehow completely missed it during my younger years (which might have to do with the apparent fact that it primarily aired on cable TV), but I was an ardent watcher of the veeery similar DarkStalkers cartoon that aired at like 6:00 AM on Saturdays on the WB. And yeah, I have the box set of those eps too... so you can definitely expect to see Felicia and the gang making the scene on Scary-Crayon sometime in the future. Ha!

I used to get up early just to watch it! ......I feel so ashamed. Actually, this was during the "action-cartoon-drought" of the mid-90s when there simply weren't many action-cartoons on TV because Saban's mangled renditions of Tokusatsu shows kinda took their niche. So, to be honest, a bad G.I.Joe rip-off with SF characters was alot better than nothing. For the record, I abandoned this show shortly after seeing the anime movie, and I never looked back. One episode, I would highly recommend for a review, is the one where Ken and Ryu went to visit their master, only to have to fight Akuma instead. In addition to being one of the few episodes that were actually "good" in the traditional sense it has a line that Scary-Crayon readers would appreciate. The American writers, not realizing the plural of "chi" is"chi", not "cheese", actually have Ken say to Akuma "You're not so powerful when your not full of stolen cheese!!!". I swear I could not stop laughing. Also, recommended are the episodes where Blanka meets a ferral tarzan-like kid in the jungle, that turns out to also be an alien for some reason. And, the one where Chun-Li falls for some kind of inter-dimensional Viking. Recalling these rediculous moments is making me fall in love with this rediculous show all over again. Is it really on DVD now? I can't believe they'd bother. I'm totally checking the dollar store for it. Believe it or not, this was actually my favourite show for a brief period of time.
