- More ideas for SFIII:
-
- 1) 24 characters (including the 12 from champion edition)
- 2) Bring back Adon and Eagle from SFI
- 3) Ken and Ryu shirtless, maybe, maybe not; depends on your threshhold
- of studboy tolerance
- 4) New backgrounds for the 12 from champion edition
-
- Ryu - At the base of a waterfall with lots of rushing and splashing
- water with fish jumping into the air. I want to see lots of
- pleasant looking "greenery" too. This scene should also have
- an intermitent "rainfall" effect, not constant mind you. I
- think this would make the fighting look even more dramatic,
- especially if you're dragon punching.
- Ken - A real "California" beach scene. People playing volleyball in
- the background. Roller bladers and skate boarders zooming by
- like the bicyclers in Chun Li's background. Have Eliza wear a
- real skimpy bikini while she's cheering Ken on.
- Zangief - The Red Square in Moscow with troops marching in formation
- with that unique Russian cadence (if you don't know what I'm
- talking about, watch Schwarzenegger in Red Heat). Nothing in
- the foreground, I find Zangief's chain link fence and wench-
- pulley system really annoying.
- Guile - In the restaurant area of a shopping mall, with his wife and
- daughter munching on fast food and cheering him on in the
- background. Logically he wouldn't be wearing his army fatigues,
- so how about a new outfit - possibly something "J. Crew"-ish.
- Khaki colored slacks, brown loafers, button-down collared shirt,
- and a pea-green v-neck sweater. Of course we can always forego
- logic and keep him in his army duds.
- Honda - In his sumo Dojo with all of his students watching him.
- Blanka - In the streets of Rio de Janeiro during a "Mardi Gras" type
- of celebration. I don't know what this celebration is called
- offhand but its similar to the Mardi Gras of New Orleans; lots
- of singing, dancing, debauchery, and of course - costumes. If
- my memory serves me this celebration was shown in one of Roger
- Moore's James Bond films.
- Dhalsim - In front of one of those Hindu temples like the "Masvanatha".
- The Masvanatha is a really ornate and decorative looking building,
- you can check out how it looks in an architectural book if any
- of you are interested.
- Chun Li - In the "Forbidden City". Watch "The Last Emperor" if you're
- curious.
- Balrog - How about one of those real underground circuit boxing rings.
- With typical marquee nickname matchup posters like "Bruiser"
- Balrog versus "All You Get!" Ken, "Eat My Combo" Guile, or
- "Gasp and Swoon" Vega. Of course, each and every character's
- marquee nickname would have to be customized for this screen.
- With lots of unsavory types wearing tacky-looking seventies ties,
- slouched fedoras, screaming and holding bills in their hands.
- Vega - How about a new outfit for vega. I recall that he's a bullfighter,
- so why not have him wear the matador's "suits of light". He'd look
- even cooler. I would like to see a real "sexually charged" scene
- with overtones of BD and SM. I doubt Capcom would do that though.
- Strange I know, but I find myself playing Vega quite a lot lately.
- I'd go into how much he sucks against Blanka but that's not the
- topic of this response. I must admit out of the boss characters,
- Vega certainly has the most "personality".
- Sagat - In a remote monastery somewhere in the Himalayas, like the
- fabled "Shangri La". With snow-capped peaks in the background.
- Like Ryu's background, this one could have a "snowfall" effect.
- For some reason, two larger than life figures fighting each
- other and weathering the elements of nature at the same time
- always looks neat.
- Bison - In the headquarters of his evil organization. A dark, vague,
- formless background with lots of assasin types weilding weapons
- looking on at their master as he fights. And if Bison gets
- beaten all of the assasins kneel down and bow their heads.
-
- Well that's all,
- X-Man
