Steet Fighter II : Tournament Edition is the base point here as it's the most iconic and best game of the lot. You can keep your Cammys and your Fei Longs thank you very much. Absolute jobbers.

Cammy was a saint. I won't hear a bad word said about her. Nor Fei Long.

T Hawk on the other hand. fúck that guy

We move into the business end of proceedings now as the 4 Bosses make their way into the tournament. For this round, a fighter will need to accumulate 9 votes to progress and reasons must be given from here on out. If there's no reason, the vote won't count. We stay with the random number generator again. Ready... FIGHT!

Ken (USA)

Fighting Style: Ansatsuken
Signature Moves : Hadouken, Shoryuken, Roundhouse Kick





VS



Balrog (USA)

Fighting Style: Boxing
Signature Moves : Gigaton Blow, Buffalo Headbutt

I had a soft spot for Balrog - interesting fact. He was originally called M Bison, as a play on Mike Tyson, but they had to change his name for obvious copywrite reasons.

However, I pick Ken. He could kick at least, so had more in the arsenal than Balrog had.

Ken is meh but that's no fight at all.

Ken.

Muahahaha

Ken cos you can spend the whole fight down low and just jab and sweep Balrog all day long. Bonus points for a quick sweep as he comes rushing in with the haymaker

Omackeral

3-0 to Kenjamin. Could there be another white wash on the cards?

ken because HADOUKEN

Potential-Monke

I reckon so. Don't think we'll ever find anyone to pick Balrog over Ken. Ken for me!

Omackeral

I make that 5-0 now to K-Town. It's a slaughter so far.

Super-Rush

Has to be Ken.

Balrog was just a filler.

They basically rotated the names among the three bosses to avoid the copywrite as you said and because they felt Vega wasn't a threatening enough name for the head boss. So they did:

Claw -> Vega
Vega -> M. Bison
M. Bison -> Balrog

Balrog.
1 - because Ken was a ballbag
2 - because he's getting whipped

You literally can't even spell ballbag with out the letters from Balrog :pac:

Remouad

+1 Ken for the inevitable showdown with Ryu

Omackeral

It's 7-1 now. Is it too little too late for Ballbag Balrog?

Collie D

Another vote for Ken. Balrog was a **** character. Did anyone ever pick him?

Omackeral

This is a bad whooping. Balrog is one away from a TKO here.

A beast in the right hands. Well, in Super Turbo anyway...

I did a few times, after i watched a rocky movie or that one time i played by myself on 2 player and held the button long enough to see the big punch. Other than that ****test character in the game

Ew he's white. Gross.

gwalk

Ken for the TKO

Omackeral

Ken wins 9-1

Next match is coming up shortly. Keep checking back!

Omackeral

Ken claims the first semi-final spot in a thrashing of Balrog. Who will join him there? It's an all-boss fight up next...

Vega

Fighting Style: Spanish Ninjutsu
Signature Moves: Rolling Crystal Flash, Sky High Claw, Flying Barcelona Attack,





VS



Sagat (Thailand)

Fighting Style: Muay Thai
Signature Moves : Tiger Shot Fireball, Tiger Knee, Tiger Uppercut

Collie D

Wasn’t a big fan of either but I’ll vote for Sagat. He was big and tough whereas Vega sounded like a big girl when he did his dive from the fence. Bit of a pussy.

DrPhilG

Sagat, mainly because I never had any joy using Vega. He seemed an awful poncy hoore.

Muahahaha

Oh man Sabat is gonna tiger uppercut him all day long

d8491prj5boyvg

Both decent characters. I liked Vega. Quick and the dive was a good move. Sagat is one of the better characters though, tiger was a decent fireball and you could send it low and high which mixed it up.

Vega for me

Excellent verbiage.

I cast a vote for Vega though. Loved the way you could use the claw and climb the fence, was really revolutionary in those 16-bit days.

Urquell

Sagat cause he's a fok ken killer!

Can't believe Chun li lost to generic martial arts guy...

Lil Sally Anne Jnr.

Like them both but Sagat is my man.

Omackeral

The score at the top of the hour is Sagat 5 - 2 Vega

ardinn

Vega for me as I liked the character, he would be the underdog tho - Heart with vega - Bookie slip with sagat

Autecher

Sagat because of Tiger Uppercut and because he looks so cool.

Mean Laqueefa

Sagat all day long, due to low/high Tiger and the uppercut. Vegas only move was the fence and it looked awesome was kinda ****

Omackeral

That's 7-3 in favour of Sagat. Good scrap this it has to be said.

Potential-Monke

Sagat for me. I liked both, but Sagat would wipe the floor with Vega. Plus, Vega is slightly rapey, if the JCVD movie is anything to go by.

Super-Rush

Sagat was a wirey bastard and came across as a proper hard as nails street fighter.

Omackeral

Sagat wins 9-3

Our penultimate quarter final is coming up. Stay involved!

Potential-Monke

But i'm finished work in 10 minutes...

mistersifter

Vega was too vain.

Id say he'd be mad for insta selfies if he was about now.

Sagat all the way. Cool as F*ck with the Muay Thai

edit: sorry for the late reply!

Omackeral

In what could easily by the final in its own right, we have two arch-nemesis squaring off. This is a tough one to call. Let's see what happens... FIGHT!

M. Bison (Unknown)

Fighting Style: Psycho Power
Signature Moves : Psycho Crusher, Skull Diver Head Stomp, Rolling Scissor Kick





VS



Ryu(Japan)

Fighting Style: Ansatsuken
Signature Moves : Hadouken, Shoryuken, Hurricane Kick

Ferajacka

I think a late entry by Conor Mc Gregor is warranted in this tournie...

mistersifter

Ryu.

More of an iconic figure and the goodie. Cant be havin that nasty c*nt Bison winning the thing.

IMO Ryu is Street Fighter. Much more so than anyone else, even the all-american types like Guile and Ken.
