Blanka was a good guy - the green dude. I played him and Chun Li when I played the game. I didn't really know they had these indepth backstories...

Man I use to cheese off my friends with that Chun Li kick....

Odd behaviour?

Well, Bison was one of the eight or so SF characters in the only SF game I've ever played. And he was the bad guy in the JCVD movie (poor Raul). And usually in fighting games the big bad guy is pretty tough to beat. Which is why lynching him would be the way to go, right? Unless you're on the same side as Bison? Not sure what here is odd, just trying to think logically here.

Oh and just for fun:

Street Fighter - The Later Years

I should warn it does contain some language.

A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A

You liked the tough to use characters, huh?

Well if we knew who Bison was, yes, I'm sure we'd be up for lynching him.

This is a pseudo-Mafia game though which means roles are balanced and no one is supposed to be uber-powered; some people have better abilities than others though and what we're trying to point out is your question smacks of trying to find out who's the strongest (i.e. - biggest risk to your victory) and kill them.

The biggest part that raised my "spidey-sense" was that you used the word "Kill". I have "KO" in my character role - the fact that you feel we're here to "Kill" each other strikes me that your role may have harsher motives than just knocking out the opponent.

Oh yea, it started Down didn't it?

Been a long time since I've played.

(Oddly, I like to keep up with the storylines)

I will officially switch my lynch vote to anyone who was able to repeatedly use Zangief's 360 (or T. Hawk's later) right off the bat.

I -still- flub it on a consistent basis.

All they want to do is crash cars and #### hookers...

OMG I almost peed myself....

Tiger! Tiger!!!

Omg Omg Omg.....

I didn't notice that. I was actually working off a different part of that post. The toughness aspect.

Vote: Lynch Ouch

I was terrible with both of them. Always tried to be good with T. Hawk because of the character, but couldn't do anything with him.

Didn't play much when the Alpha series hit though prior to that - if it makes you feel better about keeping up with the storylines - I actually had the White Wolf RPG books for Street Fighter.

Yeah I always wanted to be good with them - just was something awesome about T-Hawk's "grab someone, jump in the air, spin them around a bunch and body slam them" - but usually every time I tried to do the moves I turned the characters into looking like epileptics watching Pokemon.

rokk- me and my friends created our own "street fighter" rules for an rpg. it was a lot of fun. I imagine white wolfs would be sweet.

Both of you are "lynching" me. Last I checked that means killing someone. But no, unfortunately my character has "KO" as well, not "killing". Would have used the proper term if I'd known it would have made such a difference.

SFII characters

Bold indicates people I remember to be in X-Men vs Street Fighter

Shadowloo (the bad guys)
Bison, Sagat,Vega, Balrog

People just in it for the fight
Ryu, Ken

People after Bison
Chun Li, Guile

People in it for their own purposes
E. Honda, Blanka, Zangief, Dhalsim

Introduced in later
Cammy (brainwashed early on, later broke away so she's a wildcard)
T. Hawk (I forget his deal)
Fei Long (Bruce Lee wannabe)
Dee Jay (one of the worst characters introduced in the SF universe)

Introduced even later but probably here
Akuma (He'll probably be the serial killer)
Charlie (killed by Bison and the reason Guile's after Bison)

SF Alpha characters can also be a part of this if Venom's looking at SF timeline vs game release date.

In that case, Characters that could also be here
Rose (Bison's good counterpart, and I'll be jealous if she's here)
Dan (comic relief)
Birdie (probably a bad guy)
Adon (Sagat's protege, neutral at best but bad most likely)
Sodom (from bad guy from Final Fight)

I'll stop there as it gets dicey as to how some of the others would fit in when you get to Alpha 2 and Alpha 3.
