It's looking better than before, but still crappy. Sadly I'm not only talking about graphics.

You can gather all of that from non-gameplay screenshots? lol.

But on the other hand, I just made a thread in the other forum about Capcom's outsourcing on this project.. so I regretfully agree.

There's still hope though, a lot of the play test impressions have been favorable enough.

I think its Vega in Europe? :(

No Vega was M.Bison in Europe.
Vega is the Japanese Version

Balrog in europe was M.Bison in Japan (standing for Mike Bison)

These are just M.Bison(Vega) and Sagat

Vega in Europe is Balrog in Japan

Confusing eh ? xD

looks nice though

Commented on 2008-04-30 23:27:14
In Europe, Vega is the spaniard.
(Like me ^^)
Commented on 2008-04-30 23:29:39

it was because Capcom was scared of lawsuits.

Mike bison resembles alot to Mike Tyson
and the english board found Vega for the last boss a little weak..

so they changed stuff around, they gave the spaniard the name for vega (because its slick and fast like the character) and they gave the boxer Balrog (because it just screams muscles)
they then gave M.Bison to the Dictator.

Personally i think it's better..the names suite them better like this.
But yeah..
thats how it was i believe

Oh you'd be surprised how much synce knows :S

The art style is starting to grow on me, although I never had a huge problem with it in the first place.

Hopefully it plays well :D

Lol I remember hearing about the M. Bison thing WAY back in a Nintendo Power probably in 1992 or 93...

Honestly, if they fix Chun Li's thumb I'll be positive on the graphics.

Commented on 2008-05-01 17:18:47
Um one thing why is the blood black ? If that is blood. :S
Commented on 2008-05-01 17:36:34
The art style at first I liked but not to a great extent, but these images really do promote the style alot better and am kinda getting the feel for it now, hope it turns out great like many capcom games have done this gen.
