street fighter 2 animated movie review


i bought this movie last Monday.and I don't know what I wanted to see i just knew that like a year ago i saw clips of a street fighter animated movie and knew that i wanted to see it. sadly it would be at least a year till that happened mostly because of lack of interest. the day before i bought this movie at a comic book store i was at a movie place and in the anime place i found out that there are like 10 different street fighter movies as many as there are versions of the street fighter 2 game. and i also found out the one i saw on youtube was different one.
the best way to describe this movie in a few words is cameos the movie because that's all this is cameos just for fan service. and once any character makes a cameo you will not see them at anytime later in the movie. and fyi most of the cameos are really useless.
this film starts off with a fight between ryu and sagat which admittedly was pretty bad ass, even if It was seen through a dragon ball z scouter. thourging the fight we find out that the scouters don't even see real power levels they see potential power levels which ryu has at a very low 3000 something. come one man! little kid gohan can take him on. then after that we see one of m.bison's mind slaves cammy. she attacks a diplomat or something(with lots of ass shot :D) and is them taken down like a chump. then its revealed that bison using his "PSYCHO POWERS" plans to take over the minds of all the best street fighters in the world so he can take over the world.

but one would be quick to question even if you do have the best fighters in the world how they would be able to take on a planet and countries who's main weapons are missiles and guns not hand to hand combat. we know for sure that they can take on cars by themselves but an entire military? they can't even beat yamcha! that is total bull!
so very long story short, ryu is traveling Asia because...... he is waiting to face ken? I don't know the movie makes a whole thing about them wanting a re-match when they meet up again. ken is kidnapped and brainwashed with "PSYCHO POWERS" robots watching all fighter but don't do anything just making an excuse for them to have a meet and greet with characters, except for zangief and blanca who are made to fight for rich people. chun-li panties and vega loses. quile wants revenge even more. guile finds ryu on mountain bison finds guile, big fight with evil ken,bison and balrog vs ry,guile and e.honda. good guys tart to lose e.honda and balrog fall off mountain keen turns good ryu and ken haduken bison point blank, his plane explodes and his Buddha head mountain base chung-li and guile have a thing when she leaves hospital, ryu and ken part ways....for some reason. because ryu needs to walk across America or some other bullshit.
thats it, i can Say more but all I'd be doing is repeat myself because the whole movie is the same Shtick cameo, awesome fight scene, cameo awesome fight scene. the movie in a technical sense is great the fights are awesome and the animation was great but i couldn't completely enjoy it because right when i get a good dose of a bomb ass character they disappear never to be seen again because they need the time to constantly talk about how ryu is a bad ass( its fucking true!).
thanks for reading hoped you liked this and hope you keep reading. later days

game review: justice league heroes- for DS

I remember when justice league heroes and marvel ultimate alliance were announce to come out, the first thing I thought was "wow two comic book games coming out at the same time they must be awesome." I was half right because justice league heroes is a mind numbing excuse that gets tired really quick,at least for the DS. I want to make thins clear I'm talking about the nintendo DS version of the game and not any console version. I have no way to compare because I haven't played any console version of this game. the plot of this game is basic but it doesn't have to be elaborate for the purpose of the game. Each character has special moves that can stun enemies or attack from afar, most of the time this will be your most reliable weapons because your fist are too slow to do considerable damage most of the time. your characters do have to ability to heal slowly so you don't need to go roaming the level for extra health.
You don't have access to every character when you start the game some of them come later. This may not seem like a problem but it does put you in a "sucky" situation. Because by the time you have made it to stage two with whatever two characters they have already level up to at least to level 5, which means if you switch both characters you will unknownigly start with two level 1 characters! I barley survived stage 2 because of this I had to run through the level and I almost didn't make it. from that point on I only used the flash and superman because I don't want to train the rookies. there is a way to get past this pitfall if you have already fallen prey to it.
The thing that can help you the most will be the unoriginality of the enemies. It goes like this "find random enemy, find portal where they originate". These portals are a life saver if you need to level up and have lots of time on your hands. for an indefinite amount of time they will come out of these portals so you have and endless stream of XP. as long as you don't let the enemies overwhelm you, you can level up for as long as you want.
while we are on the subject lets talk about boss battles. they are ridiculously easy. I don't know about you but when I fight a boss I switch the flash and go to town on their ass's. all you need is some speed to dodge attacks and you will be fine.the bosses are basically a regular villain with more health.
so with certain loopholes this game can be easy as cake which which makes it really not fun. the level set ups are the all the same,the objectives for each level are the same, and the attacks of the villains are all the same. they basically just switched the appearence of each level and that's it! this game as compared to other games of this sort like ultimate alliance falls short. this is inexcusable even for a portable system, because as compared to "justice league heroes: the flash" for the gameboy advance, this game those little to capture the feel of its source material which is sad because a spin off game on a older system is a hell of allot more fun.
I recommend you skip this cheap cop-out excuse for a game and play anything else. thanks for reading hope you enjoyed and I'll keep you posted on there things that are going on. C YA
