Hey gang... -Trys, hope you don't mind me jumping in here-

Street Fighter is among us!!

I just got back from seeing it. I have thoughts.

Neal, I love you forever.
NEVER do an Irish accent again. Please. o.O

It's really not a spoiler that I know of. If you disagree, I'm happy to put it behind a cut.

Though the brother and I did *giggleSNORT* the entire time...

Anyway...
So, let's call this the SF thread, yes? :)

P.S. As for the "big question"... I'll leave that comment below. :D

There WILL be spoilers in the comments. You have been warned.

The brother was CRYING at all of Chris Klein's scenes...

from laughter..

I know nothing of SF past Marvel vs Capcom 2, honestly.

I enjoyed the movie. And I thought Kristen was fantastic. But, I like Kristen, so...

I doubt anyone was expecting an Oscar nomination, really...

I actually did enjoy it a lot, but I might have been able to take it a little more seriously if Nash weren't so freaking ridiculous. Worst Interpol agent EVER. Also, the dancescene leading up to the fight in the bathroom with Cantana had me practically rolling in the aisle, exacerbated by the song in the background, wherein the only words were apparently "street fight."

I liked the actual fights, but most of them were way too short. The Vega fight, which I had expected to be awesome, was like 20 seconds long. Not even I get knocked out that fast in Street Fighter.

CK - Dear God.. the overacting... It was BAD...

the dancing: WTF was that??

The "Street Fight" did make me laugh...

the brother and I were very confused... I do know enough to know that Vega's supposed to BE a bad-ass, not get his ass kicked...

Our new pondering is the credits, where Neal was listed as Bison/Vega (Japan), Taboo was listed as Vega/Balrog (Japan) and MCD was listed as Balrog/Bison (Japan)

In the Japanese version of the games, the boxer character we know as Balrog was called M. Bison (the M. standing for Mike, after Mike Tyson, who the character was modeled after). When the game was released in the states, they switched the character names around so they didn't get sued.
