Yahoo! Another Cammy back-up story in this issue. Let's get to that
first. It's Cammy vs Vega, and although it's extremely short, there's
a ton of info. First, we see how Cammy gets her scar. In reality,
there's still no official cause, but Vega cutting Cammy is the most
popular theory. The story also shows how it was the jealous Vega that
corrupted Cammy's brainwashing. In reality, it was Dhalsim that did
it (see Cammy's SFA3 mid-boss fight w/Dhalsim), but this is an interesting
take on it because it furthers Cammy's and Vega's rivalry. I love
that they're taking the time to fill in so much of Cammy's storyline
even though she's not a major player in the main storyline.
In the main storyline, the Sagat vs. Ryu fight was just a tease, but
it's cool to see that Sagat shouldn't be a total push-over when the
really do have a re-match. They make it look like he really could
win (and he should be able to!). It would be cool to see him win,
and what kind of affect that would have on the SF universe. Can you
imagine how many doors that would open for future storylines on almost
every front?! And besides that, Ryu needs to get his ass kicked ^_^
Sorry to be a bit grumpy on this issue, but they wasted another page
on the Sakura storyline. How about saving that for later? Anyways...
Charlie is 'saved', so Guile & Chun Li are happy. But that doesn't
last long because he reveals that Cammy (and the Dolls) killed Chun
Li's father. And if that weren't bad enough, Bison arrives and kicks
all their butts! That whole fight was quite fun, but Chun Li wondering
if Bison could have survived the fall is quite funny... Duh! Do you
think a guy who can fly might not have too much to fear from falling?
But what about Charlie? Is he really dead? He WAS supposed to die
in the SF Alpha series (along with Dan & Rose), but Capcom seems
to have backed away from those storylines.
The Ken & Ryu storyline is thankfully very short. However, the
arrival of Akuma at the end means that all Hell is gonna break loose
next issue. The next issue is billed as "The Fight Everyone is
Waiting For!" Not me!! I don't wanna see anymore of the lame
old shotoclone saga anymore! >_< I'm only waiting for it to
end, or to advance on to the next round.
And finally, there's some great fanart in the back of the issue, including
some especially cool Cammy pictures. And also in the fanart section
are some pictures of some guy's SF collection. They challenge other
SF fans to show if they're 'fan enough'. Yup, count me in! My Cammy
collection is bigger than his whole SF collection. I'm gonna send
in a few pictures of my Cammy stuff (forget all the other SF stuff
I have), so maybe I'll make it in next issue?
