VG To-do:

I'm hoping you can help. I did what I thought would be a helpful wiki contribution, but unfortunately it was removed. I saw the links for Street Fighter II and noticed that there was not a single like that would allow people to view an example of a player vs player match, nor one that would help players meet each other for new challenges. So, I got my old vcr tape from '94 and digitized it, then uploaded it to youtube (don't see how to do this w/wiki) and created an external link to it. I really do think that my link is more valueable than the random links up there now, as it really can help players to meet each other, or at least let people know that a video from back then exists and lets people learn more about player vs player. Could you please assist me in putting my link back up, and keeping it there? Thank you. 3/6/08: Oh sorry, some didn't see my link that was posted originally, so here is the more direct version of the link (I previously showed it in the youtube search so the screenshot was shown, but I see that perhaps people would just want to go straight to the video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fpjNfzY4Hwo )

[edit] Street Fighter and Karate Champ

I've seen alot of reviews about the first Street Fighter and Karate Champ and they are usually NOT criticised. They, along with Yie-Ar-Kung Fu, were the first of many things that fighting games have today. Maybe fans of this generation may not understand the fun it was back in the day but I bet there are many people who still play these games.

I do. SSF2 is still the best 2d fighting game 216.197.255.21 04:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Characters

Other than their names and what country they're from, they need to have a nationality, for example, Chun-Li is Chinese, Ryu is Japanese, Ken Masters is American, Vega is Spanish, and M. Bison is Thai.

[edit] Arcade-style Joysticks are Easier to use than Joypads

Could there be some mention of the fact that it is far easier to pull off special moves with an arcade style joystick instead of a console control pad? All the best players use joysticks, and in my own experience, I've also found they make the special moves a lot easier to do. I mention this because I put up something on the main page about this a while ago and someone took it off. Cheers. Doom jester 13:45, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

While all the best players do play on joysticks, it still boils down to personal preferences. I play better on a pad than a joystick. It also brings up the argument of japanese vs american sticks, plus different types of sticks/buttons etc. -Js2756 15:52, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Unless you have a credible source that you're citing when you make that statement, then it falls under WP:NOR/WP:NPOV/WP:V. For me, I prefer a pad and am basically unbeatable when using said pad. :P -Locke Cole 16:30, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
I recognize that you say you are unbeatable with a smile, but no, most serious players would beat your pad with their stick. Of course, that is all speculation and has no place in the article. I, personally, think sticks are better and I believe it is to withhold a lot of potential to play a pad and refuse to switch. Regardless, the discussion has no place in the article, nor does the comment on how most SF2 ports are played with pads instead of sticks. It's hardly of interest to anyone looking for info on SF(2). -SkogsRickard 01:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
The comment about most ports being played with pads rather than sticks would probably be of interest to someone who basically came to the article knowing nothing about Street Fighter 2, and was interested in the multiplayer aspect of the game- i.e. what the differences are between players in terms of how good they are etc. It infers the point that there are probably a lot of Street Fighter players who may not be playing up to their full potential because they don't use sticks. That's not to say that they aren't playing up to their full potential, it's to say that they may not be (as you said yourself). Cheers. Doom jester 05:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your responses. Okay, perhaps it's the not the same for everyone, but it's still a relevant point to bring up. Personally, I can't do the dragon punch with a joypad, but I can do it pretty much every time with a joystick. My friend is the same. So I just think it would be useful for some players to know that it might be worth trying a joystick out. Couldn't we just have something, then, that said that some players prefer a joystick, some prefer a pad, and that it can really make a difference to some people to how well they can pull off the special moves (so trying both is sometimes a good idea). Doom jester 15:51, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
I do best with control pads. If you want to add a section about this, it should be that some players prefer sticks while others prefer pads. You could also mention that all tournaments are usually played with sticks, as long as everything you mention is factual. Saying one is better than the other is POV.Bethereds 20:22, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I confirm this is pure POV. I've been discovering the game in arcades with a stick and found it at first unplayable using a pad. I know achieve to perform a Dragon Punch everytime I want to perform one with either solutions. I even manage to do some with a computer keyboard :p There really is NO way to tell which solution is superior against another. It's just a matter of feeling and gaming experience.Kwyxz 00:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I have personally found it easier to perform a Dragon Punch on a computer keyboard than either of pad or stick... :-) It takes all kinds, I suppose. -67.94.184.58 12:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PC Version of SF 2: Championship Edition

I saw this Capcom classics thing the other day for the PC, it had Street Fighter and Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition in it. It was pretty new. I think it's called Capcom Arcade Hits Volume 1. Anyway I thought you guys might like to know about it so you could add something to the main article. Doom jester 09:01, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I would like to point out that US Gold also worked on the Amiga versions of SF2 and they were based on the Arcade combat engine and played fairly faithfully (if a little slowly), so the view that runs through the wiki entry for this game should be revised.

No way could you say that the Amiga version was faithful. Straight up dragon punches that are chared down then up? No different strengths for special moves? It was most definatly interpreted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.194.115.99 (talk • contribs).
The Capcom Arcade Hits games are emulated versions. The 1992 port is authentic DOS-made. --Ciao 90 (talk) 17:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SNK?

I always heard that much of the SFII staff left Capcom and ended up working for SNK and created most of their famous franchises as well. Does anyone know more about that? Whether that's true or not, this article could use a lot more background on the creators of the game. --Feitclub 02:42, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

All I know is that Takashi Nishiyama, who worked on the very first Street Fighter, left Capcom for SNK and created most of the company's fighting game franchises (particularly the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters games), but I believe that was long before SFII was first published. Also, former SNK artist Shinkiro now works for Capcom. Jonny2x4 21:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The world

Why isn't there any character from Africa in SF-II? But there are several black characters :) Meursault2004 15:36, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Africans don't buy many video games? Just a guess...71.131.209.170 09:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Short or long names

Can we reach a consensus on short (E. Honda) or long (Edmond Honda) names instead of changing them back and forth? --Pagrashtak 15:49, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes. Short ones. elias.hc 19:39, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Combos

Does anyone know if the combos were intentional or were they an accident? It almost seems like an unplanned glitch like the handcuffs and touch of death. Nonetheless the combo system revolutionized all fighting games that followed.

Many combos in the game, like 2-in-1s (ie. Ryu's crouching Forward cancelled to Hadouken) and CPS1 chains (Ryu's crouching jab to cr. FP) were unintentionally added into the game, and technically fall within the realm of unplanned glitches. Others, like meaty attacks linked to another attack, fall well within the engine of the game and are not glitches. --Js2756 03:07, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Special Moves

Would it be possible for somebody to list all the special moves for each SF2 character in this article? Or at least provide a link to them? I can't seem to find them anywhere. 202.7.166.168 14:46, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

  • I'd recommend checking out GameFAQs[1]. I don't think listing every move for each character is really encyclopedic. -Le Scoopertemp [tk] 15:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What This Article Needs

This article may need the Street Fighter II SNES Box Art. --ZachKudrna18@yahoo.com

[edit] Revision on 2005/11/11

Energy attacks in anime have been around long before Street Fighter. -Js2756 15:25, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pinball?

Why on earth is this page listed under the 'Pinball games' category?

Probably because there has been a Street_Fighter_II_(pinball), I guess. Kwyxz 13:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legacy

  • I reverted to my vision, as the original version (that keeps getting re-placed) is ugly, sloppy and misleading. Danny Lilithborne 12:13, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Also, the official name of HSF2 is "Hyper Street Fighter II: Anniversary Edition". This is not up for debate. Danny Lilithborne 12:15, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Champion Edition for SNES?

Street Fighter II, in its first three versions, were ported for the Super NES (Champion Edition was only released in Japan)

Am I to understand that a port of vanilla SFII' Champion Edition (as opposed to Turbo) was released for the Super Famicom and never made it out of Japan? I have to admit I've never heard this before. Anyone have more info? Google isn't too helpful.


I've never heard of nor seen a Super Famicom SF2: CE. I don't believe it exists. Nawara Ven 06:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I read on a magazine thet it was supposed to be released for the never completed SNES CD-ROM (the one that was followed by the Playstation).

[edit] Street Fighter 2 Launcher for the PC

Hi.

Does anyone know if there is a Street Fighter 2 launcher for the PC? If you don't know what I mean by Launcher, basically it is a program that uses the original graphics/ sound etc. for a game, essentially works the same way as that game, but adds a new features. It's legal to do it, because the programs are written from scratch, and do not actually contain any of the in-game media, such as graphics or sound- if you want to use the program, you actually need the game itself. For example, there are a number of Launchers available for Doom 2 on the PC, such as ZDoom or Doomsday.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of anything similar to them for Street Fighter 2? Granted, it's not been released on the PC, but lots of people own the PS2 or XBOX versions, so could use the graphics/ sound from them.

Cheers. Doom jester 11:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

the difference between doom and quake etc is that those games have had the source code released, if that's what you're talking about? if you're talking about emulators, then yes you need to own the original jamma board to be legal. see, you've contradicted yourself by saying "the programs are written from scratch, and do not actually contain any of the in-game media, such as graphics or sound" and "if you want to use the program, you actually need the game itself" in the same sentence. or maybe i'm the one that doesn't understand.... 86.138.167.124 (talk) 21:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Music?

There seems to be no mention of SF2's music composer. Who composed the score anyway? I find the music quite remarkable.

Please sign your comments. I think maybe in the credits of the game, the music's composers are there, or they could be credited to Capcom Music Team or something. I also agree that these tunes are by far the best compared to any other set of songs in the whole series. They certainly are more memorable. I could hum the tune of any of the characters for this game, but I don't remember any of the themes from Alpha series and never had access to the SF3 music under audible conditions.Bethereds 20:18, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the music was composed by Yoko Shimomura and Alph Lyra. It should be mentioned in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.167.79.98 (talk) 08:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Phonetical Limitations of the Japanese Language

I removed some wording stating that the phonetic pronunciation of Chun-Li's name in Japanese replaces the "L" with and "R" sound. While the statement may be true (I don't think it's an L or an R actually, but something in between, but I digress...) it doesn't have a place in this article. If it did, we should also point out how other characters' names would sound in Japanese. In all of the SF games, the name next to her energy bar has always been Chun-Li. It has always been the same for all of the characters (with the notable exception of a screen-shot in EGM which showed "BRANKA" and the changing of names for boss characters.) Anyway to make a long story short, I thought this information was unnecessary, so I removed it.Bethereds 20:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mario in this game!?

In the NES pirate multicart 1998 SUPER HIK 4 in 1 12M, there is a NES port/hack of this game that does not give you the names of the 56 characters on the character select screen, there are 56 characters. All are just existing characters recolored...except for two Marios. More data at http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/odd/pirate/4in1.html.

That webpage is great! I didn't know that there was a videogame having Che Guevara and Fidel Castro as heroes --148.241.71.114 20:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Character pictures in article removed

  • I have removed the flag and mini-character pictures that an anon user insisted on putting in this article, but I'm open to having them back in if editors feel it helps the article. Danny Lilithborne 02:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I am the user who have been putting the flag and mini-character pictures on the Street Fighter II article, because I think they help me and others who haven't played the game see the details visually. I started playing this game when I was almost 9 years old and the way the flag and mini-character pictures and the list of fighters in that article go together brings back memories when they pop out visually. So, editors, if you're reading this, I think you'll want to accept my contribution of the flag and mini-character pictures to that article. Thanks a lot!!!

User:Anonymous 22:40, January 6 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, this should have been discussed in detail here before being taken to WP:ANI. Please always discuss matters on an article's talk page before making demands such as this or demanding administrator intervention in the future; it'll avoid this kind of situation nine times out of ten.
Secondly, each side appears to have a good case to make. The IP user has a point, that some kind of illustration would help to identify each character in the game visually -- however, the way it was being attempted is distracting and doesn't add enough to the article. My suggestion for a compromise would be to create a composite image of each of these thumbnails, then place it at the right of the page with a caption to explain each character's name. That would avoid distracting the reader, and allow them to put a name to each character's face.
I'm fairly certain this would fall under acceptable fair use, too. Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 04:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
That might work, but I'd have to see how it looks first. Danny Lilithborne 04:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
What I could do is this:
Fighters Stages
Ryu Japan
E. Honda Japan
Blanka Brazil
Guile United States
Ken United States
Chun-Li China
Zangief Soviet Union
Dhalsim India
Balrog United States
Vega Spain
Sagat Thailand
M. Bison Thailand
Cammy England
Dee Jay Jamaica
T. Hawk Mexico
Fei Long Hong Kong

User: Anonymous 7:27 11 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I don't like this. There is no consistency in the character pictures (bust pic of Ryu compared to full body picture of Cammy). JuJube 00:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • There are also full body pictures of E. Honda, Ken, Chun-Li, Zangief, Sagat, Dee Jay, T. Hawk, and Fei Long. And there are bust pictures of Blanka, Guile, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega and M. Bison. So all in all, they go together just fine. User: anonymous 17:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
    • That is the definition of no consistency. JuJube 02:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree. It's completely inconsistent. And it's not just the fact that some of the artwork are busts and others are full body, but most aren't even from the same game. The Ryu and Ken pictures are from SF3; Chun-Li, Guile, Balrog, Bison and Dhalsim are the Shinkiro-drawn SNK Groove depictions from CvS; Zangief, Sagat, Akuma and Honda are from Alpha 2/3; Blanka and Vega are the Capcom groove versions from CvS, and only the New Challengers are actually taken from a SF2 (albeit Super SF2). I would prefer a character selection screen or group shot from one of the actual games to illustrate the characters.
  • If we're gonna do this, let's do it right. Jonny2x4 18:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Small issue with the article - under the Champion Edition section is says Chun-li s colors were changed from peach to blue. I don't remember that ever being the case. Is there any confirmation of this?
It was only in her character selection/win/lose portrait where she wore peach. They corrected it in Dash. 136.145.29.18 14:53, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Secret Moves

It is one thing to list the normal specail moves. It is another thing to list the secret special moves. I am here because there rumor spreading around about some of these moves around 1993 or earlier. I believed them becuase in Boston's China town arcade community I was at the top and I had even better chineese friends. One of them worked for a company that tested and reviewed games on TV. I never knew about his job untill one day I seen him on TV testing a driving game and being interview afterwards.

My point is since he was my friend I would hear about secret game features before anyone else even though he was not supposed to tell me I assume. It took me like 2 years of improvement untill he would even talk to me but he seen me reach the top on my own and reveal things to me. I won a Killer Instinct fight verse my toughest opponent becuase of a move that only I knew of other than my friend. In SF2 he taught me how to do Guile's "handcuff" which was secret for a while but I think it is known by now. The move I realy want to find ANYWHERE is Guile's "Gun" move.

After being called crazy for many months because I believed that Guile could shoot a gun, I finialy saw it with my own eyes. I was in the Boy&Girls club when everyone left to go upstairs and play ball. I was left alone in front of SF2 with the computer just randomly fighting during the score screen. I was in a trace wondering what I should do next that day. Guile fighting Blanca on Guile's board did his normal strong backhand move but about five super fast bullets came out with 2 hitting Blanca. Each bullet seem to do about 50% damage and they where yellow like Guile's Sonic Boom. At that moment while I was still stunned the score screen paused to show the scores. The bullets were suspended on the screen behind the scores. I ran around franticaly looking for someone to prove this to but they were all upstairs. To this day I have not ever seen that move again nevertheless done by a person. My friend gave me the moves order for it just like he gave the guile's handcuff moves order.

It was so long that I gave up trying. If Wiki could realy improve it's content they have on this game if someone could prove this fact with pictures or something. By the way, the other charactors have specials like this too. I even had a magazine that showed Guiles handcuff and the rest of SF2 secret moves. They just didn't put guiles Gun there as well. I am sorry for the long post but this week I have regained my passion to prove this to someone since I know for sure it is real and I can't find it anywhere on the net.

M7Financial 23:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)jdrenter@myibocs.com

Most likely you were just playing Rainbow Edition or one the numerous bootlegs produced at the time~that added crazy new moves. 136.145.29.18 15:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaced all incorrect usage of the apostrophe with the proper prime symbol.

For those not aware of this obscure trivia, Street Fighter II′: Champion Edition is called Street Fighter II Dash because of the apostrophe-like symbol on the game's logo. However, this is not really an apostrophe (as it is incorrectly identified), but the mathematical prime symbol~, which is sometime call a Dash. Capcom technically kept the title unchanged outside Japan, but because Western players (and Capcom USA for that matter) didn't realize that the prime symbol was supposed to be pronounced, they simply called the game by its subtitle instead. 136.145.29.18 14:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Dunno about the rest of Europe, but in France the game has frequently been called Street Fighter II Prime. Kwyxz 13:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Master System version not popular

I am a Brazilian gamer, and I only heard about Tec Toy's official port to the Master System as a curiosity, which left me astonished. I have never seen the game, nor heard of anyone who has played it. I doubt it can be called "popular", unless someone has a reference. 201.21.180.98 20:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Revival

I originally added this to the updated versions section but now see it has been "removed from the list, since it wasn't an arcade release." Fair enough, but did Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition get an arcade release? If it did, fine, but that's not my reason for posting.
I just think it's important to note the content of this update, as amongst other changes it did re-introduce bonus stages, have some new stage backgrounds and a second version of Akuma. If not in the updated versions section, then how about in the ports section? I just want to check other people's thoughts on this before adding the information back in somewhere - I'd hate to be some annoying git who keeps putting in unwanted information. Should the information be included somewhere?
Dave anime 12:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hyper Street Fighter 2 was released for the arcades in Japan and Asia sometime after the PS2 version was already out. It's even emulated on MAME. I think SSF2T Revival is better mentioned on the ports section isntead anyway. Jonny2x4 04:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


OK. I've added the information to the ports section. It contains everything that was in the final entry before deletion, but rewritten in paragraph form.
Dave anime 09:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Original special moves names

The original arcade name for Ryu and Ken's fireball is indeed Hurricane Punch. The original arcade name for Ryu and Ken's Hurricane Kick is Cyclone Kick. For some unknown reason, those names were changed when the game was ported to consoles. Since I would like my changes not to get reverted one more time, please take some time to have a look at this original Street Fighter II arcade cabinet sticker ;) [2] Thanks ! --Kwyxz 12:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Obvious translation error. Ultimately it doesn't matter since the actual Japanese names (and thus, the names used in-game) are Hadoken and Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku. Jonny2x4 01:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I guess Capcom USA screwed up the translation. I found another "Hurricane Punch" here [3] I love the article's current version using direct translation of the japanese names. Thx for this ;) --Kwyxz 10:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I remember that cabinet sticker (it was on the Champion Edition at the car wash where I live). "Hurricane Punch" was never used, however, in any of the strategy guides at the time ("Fireball" was almost always used). JuJube 01:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In Game Screenshot for the Article

Didn't there used to be an in-game screenshot in the article? I think this would be useful for someone who doesn't know much about it and wants to get a quick understanding of what it's all about. It also makes the article easier to read, generally (it just looks better, in my opinion), than if there's just loads of text in there. Doom jester 05:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

  • I think there were fair use issues. All the screenshots for the fighting games were replaced with flyers some time ago. JuJube 08:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, I just had a look around at the articles for Tekken, Soul Calibur, Street Fighter Alpha, and the Street Fighter series and they've all got loads of screenshots in, so it looks like someone here has started putting them back. What's going on? Doom jester 12:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release dates

The release dates in the sidebox are obviously wrong. The arcade game was released in 1991 as specified in the article, not in 1992. Where do those release dates come from ? Are those from the SNES version release ? Does anyone have the accurate release dates for the arcade game ? Thanks. --Kwyxz 13:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merging with Super Street Fighter II

I think that this article along with the SSF2 article should not be merged, because both games have his own articles, and for this reason they can't be merged. --David Pro 00:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the completely nonsensical opinion. The fact that both games have "his" own articles is reason for not merging. That's the WHOLE point of merging. Jonny2x4 (talk) 02:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I believe there's enough there to warrant separate articles. Also, merging all these articles in to one makes this main article a mess. —Locke Cole • t • c 20:40, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Super Street Fighter II: Changed the frame data back to the one found in Champion Edition, made the new moves from Hyper Fighting worse, added some useless new special moves, added 4 new characters, had rerecorded sound and voice samples, new endings for bosses, bonus for combos, recoveries and reversals, reduced speed and new character portraits. Wow, this is sooo much info.Master Bigode (talk) 21:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Watch the attitude. Just because the article would presently be a stub doesn't make it any less worthy of having it's own article. There are details out there that can be added over time, information about the development, artistic direction and so forth. Just because you do not see potential does not mean others don't. —Locke Cole • t • c 21:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Release date

The release dates on this page are for the SNES version. The arcade version was released in 1991. Phediuk 15:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amstrad CPC port

Should there be mention made of the Amstrad CPC version that never ended up being completed? I remember Amstrad Action having an uphill battle with US Gold to get them to make a conversion, & it was in the works but never ended up being completed. Opinions?? Dizrythmia

[edit] Splitting the ports section into a new article.

The ports section is HUGE compared with the rest of the article, so I suggest it to be split into a new article to give room for expanded info on the arcade updates.

There might not be such a problem with the ports section if there weren't so many incarnations of the game covered in just this single article. More appropriate to unmerge some of the bigger offenders into their own articles, each with their own ports section. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with sometype of split, the ports section is very incomplete, both ideas it will help. (201.67.234.66 (talk) 21:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Special editions

l do not know what edition this one was but there was a street fighter version where you could keep jumping higher and higher. Guile was able to throw 15 sonic booms on the screen and characters were able to change when you pushed start. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.134.113 (talk) 06:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Those are bootleg Champion Editions (coloquially called "Rainbow Editions" due to the alterations of the color scheme of the title screen). JuJube (talk) 06:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PC DOS port

A version for PC DOS was made. --Ciao 90 (talk) 11:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
