What always got me is that in SF2 they made Ryu out to be the unparalleled master of the shoryuken (esp with the whole Sagat thing), yet in subsequent games they gave that specialty to Ken.

After SF2 they decided to make Ken more than a palette and head swap of Ryu, so splitting them into the Tactical Fighter / Flashy Brute was the obvious decision and somewhere along the line Ken got the better Shoryuken and Ryu started slinging crazy mad Hadokens.

Akuma is the only shoto who is supposed to be able to match Ryu's technical/hadoken prowess, but he's, you know, evil.

Right, I got the need to differentiate, I just would've thought they'd do it the other way around, with Ken getting the hadokens and Ryu getting the shoryukens.

Ryu, Captain America, Wolverine, Scorpion, and Spider-Man. In that order.

Though I did like the mummy from Darkstalkers, I cannot remember his name and he'd be after Spider-Man anyway.

Actually, the paper bag-head man with the giant scalpel is really better than all these dumb cliched characters. The only way he could be better was if he had a flat top on top of the bag, and the sleeves of his coat were ripped off.

Why does the hole in that paper bag keep mysteriously moving to the other side of the bag?

Because whatever cabinet is rendering the sprite either lacks the capability, or the creators lack the talent, to make it display different sprites depending on the character's facing.

Gill in SF: Third Strike was designed specifically to show off this feature of their engine on the Dreamcast release. He uses two different sprites, not just one being mirrored like in the good old days.

I just thought that, for some reason, we were past those old days and that most artists make multiple sprites for when characters face different directions.
