Kids Logic 1/6 Street Fighter IV

[krec9]

At least we know we got a Ryu and Ken coming. Sure they're not based off the animated film, but I like their looks.

glad they are getting done its been long overdue.

Shouldn't be too hard. Even painting up his hair wouldn't be a problem either.

I'm most nervous about de-coloring the gi and then getting it brown.
But I have to get it first!

 

[Brandoloneous]

Why brown? A fan of him in an alt color?

I just remember the Resaurus figs that came in both Grey and Brown, and I really liked the brown. plus it just makes more sense. It's just a preference I guess. Blue just looks too random. I would even settle for grey if they went that route.
To tell you the truth, I'll take the blue, but have plans...

Akuma's gi was always meant to be dark grey/light black, but some of his artwork, especially starting with Alpha 2 had him in bright blue and it just kind of stuck for some reason. Just like Venom from Marvel, colored blue for the light reflecting off. Most artwork you find of Akuma will have him in dark grey/black. Here's just a few examples of him wearing black and blue:

First appearance (Super Street Fighter II Turbo):

Street Fighter III: Second Impact:

Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2:

Marvel vs. Capcom 3:

Street Fighter Alpha 3:

Street Fighter IV has him grey in art, blue in game:

Always looked better gray.

Thats awesome didn't notice this .

I forgot to post a gif of the sprite for Alpha Akuma, but his in-game sprite is grey and artwork blue, kind of an opposite to SF4.

Alpha 2

Alpha 3

But then his portrait in Alpha 3 is grey again

 

[Snake Plissken]

I really don't like that blue look.

 

[krec9]

This pic is awesome from SFa2?

 

[Brandoloneous]

I wanna say it's from the first Capcom vs. SNK, the Capcom side artwork. Here's his SNK side artwork from that game:

And here's his very first full body artwork revealed from Super Street Fighter II Turbo:

I acknowledge that they are going for the SFIV look (bein blue and all), but it's just a preference.
By the way, in the art that has been used for years in SF, yeah the gi looks blue. But ultimately it's suppose to suggest that it is in fact dark grey. If they did use grey instead of blue, their art would come across as drab, or black and white.
But once again, my preference is the player 2 brown, or player 1 grey.
I'll take what I can get and smile about the blue for now. I just hope this one comes out on time.....

S'ok, I had a friend that liked Ken in Yellow, and for the longest time I preferred Ryu in dark green. If you do change his gi, make sure to show us in this thread!

[Unclechopchop]

[krec9]

I am just didn't order it yet.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

I'm down for the SFIV-style versions of Akuma, Ryu and Ken, but I wouldn't mind HT/EB-style figures of Guile and Bison from the 1994 movie.

Sue me. It's a guilty pleasure.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

[piccolodaimaoh]

Anybody else gettin this one?
