karamazov80 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) See, I always thought this to be the pivotal Chun Li movie, edited though it may be: I had that on tape when I was in middle school, and let a friend borrow it. When it came back to me, when the Chun Li shower scene came on, there were lines on the screen, as if it were paused and re-winded several times. I didn't want to touch the tape again after that Edited January 6, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote

When it came back to me, when the Chun Li shower scene came on, there were lines on the screen, as if it were paused and re-winded several times. I didn't want to touch the tape again after that This (and the fact that this scene practically illustrates the fundamentals of "fan service") actually made me LOL. I remember watching the animated movie a lot as a kid and wondering why an assassin would strike in the shower ... and dammit, now all this nostalgia is making me crave Vega and Cammy minimates As for Chun Li moviemates? Eh, unless they're gonna pull a miracle release of the long-lost second wave of SF then these mates are gonna look awful dull. (This is assuming the Chun Li movie is gonna stray from canon visually and appear as drab and monochramatic as X3) Quote
buttheadsmate Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Probably as good as anywhere to admit that I had never even heard of Street Fighter ,Halo, MGS,Street Racer or Grand Theft Auto until after I'd gotten either the Minimates or kubricks My last foray at a computer-game involved a little round guy munching something or other Edited January 6, 2009 by buttheadsmate Quote
SErge Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I think it'll be more appropriate if they released mates based on the new street fighter 4,than the movie,but either way some new street fighter mates would be awesome!! oh and that chun li movie scene was tops aswell as the fighting scene that took place afterwards Quote
Gouki Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 They'll make WAY more money if they insert a little ad for street fighter minimates into the Street Fighter 4 game booklet. Just dreaming. Anywhoo, SF minimates they ABSOLUTELY HAVE to make: Sagat Sean Ibuki Alex Hugo (Oh, I can just imagine the fun i'll have with him.) Cammy Charlie (The Bruce Li Guy) (Forgot his name) All of the Wave 2 SF minimates Bishamon L. Raptor Pyro Birdie Gen and Dhalsim DO IT NOW!!!! Quote

karamazov80 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I believe it is this one And personally I'd take this over the Van Damme movie anyday. That is the one. Though I haven't seen that "movie" in 10+ years or so, the fight scenes were pretty good as I recall. I remember Ryu fighting the Bruce Lee guy, and the Chun Li/Vega matches as real standouts. Plus, the opening was pretty cool, starting with the end to SF1 w/Ryu dramatically fighting Sagat out in a lightning storm. Quote

Shup Dude Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Dhalsim and Vega would be the top two on my list. Quote
A.J.V. Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Question: Can DST still make Street Fighter Minimates or did they lose the rights to? BTW How can we ask DST or AA since we don't do the Ask DST here on the fourms? Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 if you want to ask AA go to www.artasylum.com and there is a part for asking questions for their Q&A there I'll even be nice and link it AA Q&A I can guess the answer will be a nicely worded way of saying SF mates are deader then betamax Quote

buttheadsmate Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I still know very little about Street Fighter except for the little I've gleaned from posts here. The 'Mates have gained a somewhat unfortunate notoriety here as the 'horse that keeps getting flogged' but to be fair they're not the worst license we've had by any means & are one of the hardest collections to complete relatively speaking. Whether we'd get more SF 'mates is highly doubtful however. Quote
SErge Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 well, if thats the case, i guess all thats left is customizing em! Quote
Gouki Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I dont mean to ask questions that have already been answered, but are AA and DST even aware of the demand for SF minimates? Quote
TBT! Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I dont mean to ask questions that have already been answered, but are AA and DST even aware of the demand for SF minimates? There is no demand... with the exception of the half dozen of you posting in this thread. DST have made it very clear that they have given up on these, so should you. T. Quote
