[edit] Red Hawk

Has anyone seen this anime? There is a fight seen in it that is almost blow for blow like the Ryu, Sagat fight.

[edit] Spanish dub

Why don't you wait to delete that info until AFTER a Spanish counterpart for this page is created? --Ryanasaurus0077 21:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Table

I created the table for the cast. It took some time, but the page looks a lot neater now, doesn't it? No actual data changes though, that's all correct. Harley Quinn hyenaholic 21:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goofs

I performed the following edits to the Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie article:

Chun-Li is from China but is an Interpol agent with an American accent in the English version of the film. [This is not a goof. Characters not of an English-speaking background are frequently given English langauge accents in movies. Obviously, this is taken further English-language films which, story-wise, do not take place within the domain of the English language (an American movie about Musketeers in France, for example) where all acting occurs in English and actors typically speak with American or English accents, or accents matching their characters' origins. Dee-Jay's and Cammy's American accents, however, can be considered errors. Sorry to have to drill the point, but the person who included this as a goof obviously has no clue as to what he's talking about].

And:

In the games, Guile is tattooed on both shoulders with an American flag. This is missing in the movie. [Not a goof, a change in character design, probably to make animation easier. By the logic employed to consider this a goof, Bison's more muscular appearance is also an error.]

My intention was that someone would remove the said goofs and my text. However, [User:Ultim87|Ultim87] simply removed my comments and returned the text to as it was initially. The 'goofs' listed are not goofs. Has anyone seen "The Man in the Iron Mask"? Does John Malkovich have a French accent? Has anyone seen Beauty and the Beast? Do all the characters have French accents? Native English-speaker accents are given to characters because the speech will sound more natural.

The second point listed as a goof, Guile's tattoo, is a character redesign, not a goof. It would be quite difficult to animate an American flag distorted on the contours of someone's body, constantly changing angle.

The two 'goofs,' if they are to be listed in the article at all (and I believe that only comment about Guile's tattoo could warrant any inclusion) should be included under 'trivia.' When wikipedia has inaccuracies like this, it really makes it hard to take the site seriously. I find myself having to take everything I read on here with a grain of salt, or having to verify facts from other sources. -- Holymolytree2

[edit] Guile's Tattoo's

In Trivia, it states Guile has the US Flag tattoo on both shoulders in the game, while in the anime he does not. This is false, since the game could only mirror animations when turning characters from left- to right- facing. This would be the same as claiming Sagat had either both eyes, or two eyepatches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.247.67.19 (talk) 23:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other wrong things in Trivia

Yes, besides that it also states "In the movie, Guile flirts with Chun-Li. In the game, Guile has a wife". Well, they must have confused the animated movie with the live action movie, because here Guile just sees Chun-Li as a kid.

Another thing about the ultimate fight of SF1: The way it is written gives us the impression that this "animated movie" has changed the way Ryu had won. We must remember that, by the time this movie was made, directors followed very careful all story aspects of all existent SF games of that time (and until 1996 it was how Ryu had won the SF1 tournament)...

...what they should say is that years later, with the appearance of Alpha2 (there are only two games (Alpha2 and 3) that retconned this fight -> which was improperly won by Ryu, because he lost the battle (witch should be already over) and after Sagat win the match (Sagat was already the murder of Dan's father), Evil Ryu knocked him out, being Evil Ryu character the final SF1 champion (curiously a character that didn't exist in SF1... and the true creators didn't even imagined him to exist).

The problem is that if Capcom decides to retcon this fight again we will have to constantly change this trivia aspect like the movie had, once again, made a mistake, which is not true.Newsblade (talk) 13:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
