#street fighter origins: sagat

[tekkenenjoyerblue]

So the Street Fighter Origins: Sagat comic is VERY good, getting to see Bison in a tanktop though?

Some old Sagat art

This art was piece that won some crazy competition, the main theme of the artwork was “the character and their pet” and I instantly thought about him with his amazing tiger (I hate how his right arm looks but art overall looks kinda good so yea)

[jadesnapart]

I hosted an art giveaway on my twitter account the other month and these were the final pieces for the winners!!!

Sagat in his SFV attire and an original character from a TTRPG campaign! thank you to everyone that participated in the raffle.

I might have to pivot elsewhere soon, so maybe there will be more raffles on the horizon sooner rather than later! (maybe even here?!?!)

You said that Beck's dad was like the villain of the previous story. do you have any lore about him you can or want to share like what type of villain he was? as well who else on the roster would have been a returning character and was it one of them the took him down?

I haven't explored him too much since he's such a background element but I picture him as an M. Bison / Sagat style big bad. Juggernaut playstyle like Ganondorf Smash Bros or Marisa SF6

Since the fighting game story centers around most of the cast banging each other I didn't really feel like it was a great idea to put her dad into the cast.

In the fictional "fighting game" history the only returning character's from the "previous game" at the moment are Helen and Vincent. With some references to predecessors like Sister Leona's mentor and the original owner of Gibson's body. Rumble After Dark is meant to evoke a Street Fighter: Third Strike where an existing franchise suddenly gets a mostly new generation cast.

I have a bucket of loose lore tidbits about the setting and cast though I like to leave it mostly evocative rather than go into detail about every tiny thing. I tend to think implicit vibes and snippets of flavor text style worldbuilding is more evocative than the somewhat tedious "wiki" style lore bookkeeping that happens in some of the more hardcore fandoms.

F.A.N.G in Granblue Fantasy.

The event was called Granblue Fighter V and it was the 2nd collaboration with Street Fighter. The first was Granblue Fighter Ultra. This event ran between April 15, 2016 through April 25, 2016.

Rashid and Karin were playable characters and F.A.N.G and Necalli were enemies. M. Bison appeared too.

In Ultra Granblue Fighter, Ryu and Chun-Li were playable. M. Bison (Vega, Dictator) and Sagat were enemies.

Here’s the entire story for Granblue Fighter V. Listen to their glorious voices 💜💜

For translations, go here: https://gbf.wiki/Granblue_Fighter_V/Story#Ep._4-1

For the FANG fight scenes, I complied the animations I could find from various different videos on YouTube. Credits go to chokottosister and Hiroshi Sora.

Although still voiced by Shigeru Chiba, his dialogue delivery is different from the original SFV version. In SFV, he doesn’t say “Shishiruirui” when doing his Critical Art, but in Granblue he does. Here’s his sound clips from SFV for comparison:

If you want to see art of other characters, go here. Playable characters are in Character. NPC/enemies are in Character/Lore/NPC/etc. Just type their names in the search bar under the categories. Bison is Vega btw : https://gbf-img.com

For sprites go here. Playable characters, go to Characters/Human (2015 and 2016). For enemies/NPC’s, go to Enemies/Humans (easiest to find it from Oldest first) : https://mizagbf.github.io/GBFAL/

I knew about these clips for years but never made a long post about it. Thanks for reading!

Welcome back to part 4 of our X-Men vs. Street Fighter 2 Roster.

Rules:

1. X-Men and Street Fighter Characters only*

2. No Deadpool, Kamala Khan, Wanda, Pietro, or Namor will be added to the base roster.

With that out of the way, here's our roster:

Why were they added?

It's Mystique and Juri. Why would I not add them?

I should also specify what each of the street fighter titles means. Basically, they have to originate from those titles, so Alpha 2 is going to be obvious who I choose, but others, complete mystery.

Let's start with Street Fighter 1:

Sega Saturn - Street Fighter Zero 2 DASH (Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold) - Satakore Release

Title: Street Fighter Zero 2 DASH - Satakore Release / ストリートファイターZERO2′

Developer/Publisher: Capcom

Release date: 19 November 1998

Catalogue No.: T-1244G

Genre: 2D Fighting

Quite a rare one this is. Originally Street Fighter Zero 2 DASH was released as part of the Street Fighter Collection but as you can see on this page it was re-released as part of the Satakore collection. Satakore releases were usually priced at a low cost of 2,800 yen per title. I never knew this existed until the other day when I bought it.

So, what's different about this game and the original Street Fighter Zero 2?

Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash features a new game mode, called "Gouki mode". In this mode, you must defeat Gouki, the Dark Hadou Warrior otherwise known as Akuma in the west. Defeating Gouki can be one hell of a difficult task! Also, the background is a prairie by night, like the beginning of the animated movie Street Fighter II The Animated Movie.

Cammy is a secret character you can unlock by completing arcade mode with Vega (M. Bison in the West) and putting "CAM" as your initials. She's the same character as in X-Men VS Street Fighter, with the same music. Cammy will be available once you complete the trick but for Versus and Training modes only.

There are some other cheats, but I'm not sure if them are new or if them were too in the old Street Fighter Zero 2.

Play like in SF2 (without super-combo gauge or air-blocking, etc) - (Only for Ryu, Chun-Li, Ke, Dhalsim, Zangief, Vega, and Sagat). Method: Put the selector above the character and press the Start button.

Color change (Only for Sakura and Shin Gouki) - Press Start button 5 (five) times in the character.

Demoted to Dragon

The former Big Bad now works as the new Big Bad's right hand man/woman.

Generally, when a Big Bad is defeated is replaced by a new one, but when the previous one is still there, one of the things the former antagonist can do is work for the new one as his right hand man.

Demoted big bads will frequently become the Starscream, especially if the only reason they were demoted was because the other big bad happened to have an advantage and the alternative would mean certain death.

Although, some Dragons will do the opposite: they will happily accept the new position, be actually loyal to the new main antagonist and have a trustworthy relationship, often because the Dragon will realize that he works better and more efficiently by working for someone else, and the Dragon may actually become a much bigger threat than when he was the main villain thanks to the help and resources of the new one.

Examples:

Transformers The Movie (1986): Megatron, the main antagonist of the first two seasons of the cartoon, is left for dead by Starscream in the void of space, only to be found by Unicron. Unicron turns him into his slave, reformatting Megatron into Galvatron and ordering him to destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership.

All Dogs Go To Heaven: Scarface was the main antagonist of the original movie, but in the sequel movie he played lackey to Red and to Belladona in the series.

X-Men Apocalypse: Magneto is NOT the leader of the supervillain team; this time around, he plays second fiddle to Apocalypse.

My Hero Academia: After Shigaraki defeated Re-Destro the leader of the Meta Liberation Army, he becomes a subordinate of his when they form the Paranormal Liberation Front and declare war on the Heroes.

Gravity Falls: Gideon was the Big Bad in the season 1, but he becames Bill Cipher's enforcer in the season 2 finale after Bill fulfills his plans ands brings about the "Weirdmaggedon".

Teen Titans (2003): Slade is demoted to Trigon's henchmen when the latter tries to take over the world. An unusual case where the former big bad is actually MORE of a threat to the heroes when he's serving as someone else's henchman, because Trigon gave him a truckload of powers in the bargain.

Stitch: In the third season of the anime, the previous big bad Hämsterveil partners up with a new villain named Delia. However, considering that Delia often tortures him when he fails her and that she creates an experiment that is more powerful than Stitch, it's clear that Hämsterviel is no longer the main antagonist this go around.

Street Fighter: In the original Street Fighter, Sagat was the final boss, but in the sequel Street Fighter II, he's simply the last fighter the player must face before M. Bison.

Pirates of the Caribbean At The World's End: The previous film's big bad Davy Jones is demoted to being a henchmen for Cutler Beckett. Justified by Beckett possessing the heart of Davy Jones, and therefore being quite capable of having Jones killed and replaced if he doesn't obey Beckett's orders.

On the 12th of June, thirty one years ago, "Street Fighter II': Champion Edition" was released for the PC Engine in Japan.

"Champion Edition" is an updated version of the original "Street Fighter II," featuring new character balance adjustments, the ability for players to select the same character in a match, and the addition of the four previously non-playable boss characters: Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison. This version helped solidify the game's popularity and influence in the fighting game genre.

An old idea I had but never did...

The Sprite Royal Rumble is extremely difficult to do, but it is fun to see it finally complete and the final video. I've been doing it for 20 years and while this year likely won't have a legit one, I figured why not talk about one I originally planned to have but couldn't because of outside forces: the Sega Sprite Royal Rumble. I was planning to do this, but ultimately had to cancel it. I sadly do not remember why. But here are some of the details of what was going to happen if I did it.

1 - Commentators

The commentators I usually use are Sagat and Koto. Sagat is an experienced fighter so he can talk about specific strategies and what the fighters could likely be thinking. Koto being the more excitable one that can lead to setups for Sagat while making fun commentary on the fight. With the Sega Sprite Royal Rumble, everyone was going to be Sega related and that would also be the Commentators. To replace Sagat would be Professor Asobin. He was the original Sega Mascot as he would give you hints and advice for early Sega SG-1000 Games. And in the Sega Hard Girls series, he was the teacher with knowledge of various Sega Games. So he would be an expert of the fighters entered. As for Koto's replacement, my idea was Mr. Bones from the Saturn game of the same name. While not as excitable as Koto, his cool nature could be pretty fun to write in comparison. Also Hatsune Miku would have been the ring announcer.

2 - Competitors

This was going to be a 30 person rumble representing so many systems, eras and games from Sega's history. I did not include Atlas due to being a recent purchase. That and I was limited to what sprites I could use. If I do this today, I would definitely try to commission custom sprites to be made. Either way, I looked into 135 Sega Games and Franchises and picked among them. But for the competitors I decided to have, they are as follows...

Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighter/Project X Zone Sprites)

Aladdin (Sega Exclusive Game)

Alex Kid (Custom Sprites)

Alis Landale (Phantasy Star/Custom Sprites)

Alisa (Alisia Dragoon)

Princess Kurumi (Sega Nina/Custom Sprites)

Axel Stone (Streets of Rage)

Beat (Jet Set Radio/Custom Sprites)

Billy Hatcher

Casey (Kid Chameleon)

Chakan (Chakan the Forever Man)

Chuck D Head (Decap Attack)

Joe (Feel the Magic: XY/XX - Custom Sprites)

Ecco the Dolphin (He was going to have robotic legs attached)

Gilius Thunderhead (Golden Axe)

Headdy (Dynamite Headdy)

Joe Musashi (Shinobi)

Micheal Jackson (Moonwalker)

Nights

The Ooze (Custom Sprites)

Pulseman

Raptor (Jurassic Park)

Ristar

Sakura Shinguji (Sakura Taisen/Project X Zone Sprites)

Sketch Turner (Comix Zone)

Sonic the Hedgehog (Modgen Sprites)

Feel the Rabbit (Pre-Sonic Design/Got permission from a Fangame to use their sprites)

Sparkster (Rocket Knight/Using SNES Sprites)

Toejam (Toejam and Earl)

Vectorman

3 - Who was going to win?

According to my notes, after randomly choosing their numbers and who wins, I had it that Akira Yuki would win after entering at Number 9. The runner up would have been Michael Jackson at Number 8. 

4 - Would you do this in the future and what would change?

I do want to do this in the future. I just need to have a good excuse to do so. A big difference I would say is I would include Atlas into this mix. It would still be 30, but I think 5 per generation would be better for a mix. My idea..

Pre-Genesis (Master System and the Games before that)

Genesis (Games representing the Genesis Era)

The Last Legs (Saturn and Dreamcast reps here)

The Arcade (Sega's arcade games)

Entering 3rd Party (Like the early generations of Sega content)

Modern Era (I would say the games from the last 10 years, including Atlas)

Maybe I'll do this for a future Sega anniversary. Speaking of anniversary, what if I did a Sprite Royal Rumble for my Anniversary?

A drawing of Sagat from Street Fighter, which is really a remake of this:

The tiny head shouting "RYU!" is Sagat's Mii counterpart in my Tomodachi Life island. "RYU!" is his angry catchphrase. He's also best friends with Mooncake in Final Space so that was part of why I redid it.

Capcom Vs. Series: Street Fighter II Representative Poll

Note 1: I'm excluding Chun-Li sense she's always a must have mainstay in the Capcom Vs. Series. So, Chun-Li is good.

Note 2: While Guile, Dhalsim, Zangief and M. Bison appeared in previous Capcom Vs. Games, I still put them here for those who like them.

Note 3: I will include the other Street Fighter ll characters from the updated versions in a seperate Voting Poll.

Note 4: Since Ken and Sagat originated from the first Street Fighter, they will be reserved for that Poll.

Sega Saturn - Street Fighter Collection

Title: Street Fighter Collection / ストリートファイター コレクション

Developer/Publisher: Capcom

Release date: 18 September 1997

Catalogue No.: T-1223G

Genre: Compilation / Fighting Action

Try not to confuse this collection with the Capcom Generations 5 Street Fighter Collection which was actually released in the West on PlayStation as "Street Fighter Collection 2". This collection features two discs that contain Super Street Fighter 2 and Super Street Fighter 2X on disc one and Street Fighter Zero 2 DASH on disc two. As you probably know Super Street Fighter 2X was the update of Super Street Fighter 2 which in turn was probably the only true sequel to the Street Fighter 2 games (I don't really count SF 2 Champion Edition or SF 2 Turbo as a sequel since it's more of an extension of the original game) Needles to say both of these are pretty much arcade perfect apart from the loading screens which don't last that long really. It's most definitely the best home versions of Super Street Fighter 2 and Super Street Fighter 2 X available when released (even if I absolutely loved the Panasonic 3DO version of Super Street Fighter 2 X).

Street Fighter Zero 2 DASH on the other hand is not a true sequel to Street Fighter Zero 2 (Alpha 2 in the west) but more of an update of the original game. So, what's different about this game and the original Street Fighter Zero 2? Well, thanks to some of my best friends around the globe here's a list of differences.

Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash features a new game mode, called "Gouki mode". In this mode, you have to defeat Gouki, the Dark Hadou Warrior otherwise known as Akuma in the west. Defeating Gouki can be one hell of a difficult task! Also, the background is prairie by night, like the beginning of the animated Street Fighter movie.

Cammy is a secret character that you can unlock by completing arcade mode with Vega (M. Bison in the West) and putting "CAM" as your initials at the end. She's the same character as seen in X-Men VS Street Fighter, with the same music too. Once you complete the trick, Cammy will be available, but for Versus and Training modes only.

There are some other cheats, but I'm not sure if they are new or if they were also in the original Street Fighter Zero 2. Anyway, here they are.

Play like in SF2 (without super combo gauge or air-blocking, etc) - (Only for Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken, Dhalsim, Zangief, Vega, and Sagat) - Put the selector above the character and press the Start button.

Color change (Only for Sakura and Shin Gouki) - Press the Start button 5 (five) times on the character screen.
