SF4 Screenshot Special: Clash of Soul’s Echoes

Whoever comes up with the best title for the Guile vs Rose image up top gets to choose the character paired with Gen for the next SF4 Biweekly TACV! As always, the rules are one entry per person and i’ll choose my favorite on Monday.

sf4-guile-rose-01

SF4 Guile cancels HP Sonic Boom into LK Double Flash while Rose EX Focus Attack dash cancels LP Soul Spark, then activates her Illusion Spark ultra as their projectiles collide.

sf4-feilong-gen-01

SF4 Fei Long’s HK Rekkukyaku rises up to challenge Gen’s HK Oga: Far Kick in the air.

sf4-sagat-sakura-01

SF4 Sagat whiffs LK Tiger Knee after jumping over Sakura’s lvl2 Focus Attack initiation.

sf4-elemental-damage-01

SF4 Ken’s HP Shoryuken trades with C.Viper’s HP Thunder Knuckle, dizzying both characters. Interestingly, both characters had matching stun symbols all four times i tried this.

    You have these in background size, right? I think people would like the Gen and Fei Long one. I really like the Sakura and Sagat one, it’s like they are training together :3

    Anyway my entry is
    Street Fighter: Fluorescent Rainbow Edition

    If you click on each image, then click on the “All Sizes” icon, the 1280 x 720 option will give you the native resolution lossless PNG file.

    Wonderful pictures as always. Great work.
    “Sonic Illusion”
    Can’t think of anything else. lol.

  5. Inphinite

    The Gen and Fei pic is so epic. Going on the PS3 as the background! haha

    I’ve got nothing for the first one (which is what you asked for XD), but for the Sagat and Sakura one:

    “Reeducation of Sakura” – After hearing about all the nerfs Ryu is getting in Super Street Fighter IV, Sakura decides to pick up Muay Thai.

  6. Inphinite

    Then again… after noticing what stage they’re on

    “Fight Night” or “Friday Night Lights”

  7. EasierToRun09

    “Beauty and the Boom.”

    Get it? Sonic Boom? Well at least I thought it was clever… lol.

  8. EasierToRun09

    I really, really, really love the Sagat and Sakura one btw Maj… not only is it awesome to see both characters attacking in the same direction like that, you managed to capture it quite well.

    It does really look like she’s studying under the master of Muay Thai!

    “The Tiger Cub,” would fit that perfectly!

    Thank you sir. The spacing worked out pretty well with respect to those kids in the background. Proximity to the corner is necessary to keep Sakura from getting too close to the far edge of the screen. That rules out the middle of the stage, and for some reason it looks more natural if they’re both facing right instead of left, so that leaves only one option. Fortunately the big kid runs off after you do an ultra because he kept getting in the way.

    “This is the year that im really going to kick that football. . .BLOCKHEAD!!!”
    I kept thinking of charlie and Lucy the entire time i was looking at these! The Gen, Fei is definitely my favorite though. Keep it up!

    Maj, you make some sick screenshots. Each of these could have their own competition thingy. Good work.

  12. Numsigmernen

    “Flashes of a illusory soul”

    Wow. All four of them are truly beautiful, but I particularly enjoyed the Gen vs Fei Long one, with their near-perfect alignment. I’d title it “Bruce Lee meets Pai Mei”. :P

  13. mumb13r

    brrr: getting a bit gusty in here .. where did I put that scarf?

    2: tag your it!
    3: by the end of playtime the game of hopscotch had got totally out of hand
    4: after this, filling in our medical insurance form really sucked.

  14. Rufus

    It’s a bit of a pity you can’t have three characters on the screen, or there could be a Dan knee in there too. (Along with the references to the pocket fighter ending.)

  15. pepewashere

    Wow the Fei-Gen picture is great…

    The title for the G0uile-Rose is:

    Flashing sparks are flying…

  16. Killweir

    And the wait was finally over! The crowd in awe as the fighters fullfilled their promise to draw “SVC Chaos” with their special moves.

    Gotta say, a lot of those mashups sounded really cool (Sonic Illusion, Somersault Spark, Wave Motion, etc.) but i have to go with the echoes one because it has such a nice ring to it. Plus i have no idea what it means, which is always cool.

    lagito: Congratulations, you get to pick the character to be paired with Gen for the next SF4 TACV. Choose anyone you like except Guile, Ryu, Zangief, El Fuerte, Ken, Dhalsim, Rufus, Viper, Cammy, Abel, Rose, and Gouken.

  18. Maj Post author

    Nope. I’ll probably end up going with Akuma since i already started working on him while wrapping up the Gouken TACV.

    @Maj
    God sorry, for not posting before, was without connection due to some building problems that needed to be fixed after the earthquake on 27/02.
    Really sorry, but anyways, any character would have been fine xP

  20. Maj Post author

    No worries. It’s not too late if you want to pick a different character, though you’d have to let me know by tonight so i can get started.
