Street Fighter II and Soucalibur are only eight years apart, the length of time it now takes to almost make one game before it is cancelled.

The game just like, doing these artful non-player controlled camera movements and trusting that you'll be fine with that in a lot of situations is one of the things that makes the camera work so good in it is the thing. I wish I still had the gif of the scene pictured but there's a lot of good ones

Just to add on it's funny when playing the SH games on PS2 at native resolution in software mode and like, it just looks better than any of the attempts to rerelease the game later on.
Doesn't help that most people turn off the grain even though the grain adds a lot to the look imo....

I also just really like how the otherworld looks in 1. It's not like the later ones aren't also good depictions but sometimes the first one just really makes an impression on you that makes followups with similar motifs not hit as hard

I'm guessing it wasn't lost. They didn't want to pay the music licenses for such a short clip.

It made me chuckle that kids were playing with toys based on a late 1970s movie. That playset still looks sick, tho.

My variant for Storm: Earths Mightiest Mutant 2
This is very much stylistically in line with the Black Cat cover, hopefully I can turn this into a series of sorts.

Do as many comics that are just for you as you can while you can. Self indulge. Make yourself laugh. Develop efficient habits and shortcuts to make the process easier on yourself. Make short stories. Shorter. No, shorter.
What advice would you give an aspiring comic creator? - 🦝
