- muffinmonk, on 12/13/2008, -9/+79I thought it was funny. My favorite part was the play of words "Haoduken" and "Shoryuken" with "are you ken" and "sure you're ken"

- LongShlong, on 12/13/2008, -8/+36... Why did they kiss?
- garfunky, on 12/14/2008, -2/+28Im pretty sure you guys are missing the point. Probably because you've missed the good old days when sound effects in games weren't that audible.
Think back to street fighter 2.
when ryu throws fireballs, what does it sound like hes saying?
sure NOW we all know its "hadouken" but in sf2, it sounds like
"ayuken!" or "are-you-ken"
and the dragon punch "shoryuken" should be self explanatory.
seriously this strip is for the sf2 audience exclusively.

- Spawn2105, on 12/13/2008, -11/+22"Meh is an interjection, an expression of apathy, indifference, boredom. It can also be an adjective, meaning mediocre or boring."
- garfunky, on 12/14/2008, -2/+12the comic is made exclusively for the street fighter 2 audience.
those playing the new street fighters won't get it.
when sf2 first became popular no one really knew what they were saying when they did the super moves. now we know it all "hadouken", "shoryuken", "sonic boom", "tiger uppercut" and so on.
in those days when the audio was bad, people just speculated.
for me i thought hodouken was "a-bu-kit", and shoryuken was "o-yu-kit"
this comic is expanding on the various interpretations on what the game characters said and in all honesty, is ingenious! a couple of generations too late, but the old school sf players would get it.
by the way I still don't now what ryu says when he does the tornado kick, or the "tatsumaki-senpu-kyakuu" cos he definitely didnt say that whole word! - Disclaimer, on 12/13/2008, -4/+14Shoryuken?!?!!
- ParasyteStuie, on 12/13/2008, -3/+13It goes to show how huge a flaming gamer dork I am that I read that and literally ROFLed.
- YoungLiar, on 12/13/2008, -9/+19***** that. blanka shat on everyone in SF
- waliwala, on 12/13/2008, -4/+14just because you didn't find it funny, doesn't mean Digg can't. just because Reddit is gamed, doesn't mean Digg isn't.
- necromancer, on 12/13/2008, -0/+10I am pretty sure that would be why they asked for someone to explain it.
- drgmdp, on 12/13/2008, -2/+11read it loud
- Ransack, on 12/13/2008, -5/+14This would have been funny if it had been written in 1989
- Daodos, on 12/13/2008, -0/+8Show Ryu Ken? (And then this happens)
- fredtehcat, on 12/14/2008, -0/+8SF generally refers to Sausage Festival or Sausage Festival 2.
- ParasyteStuie, on 12/13/2008, -1/+9It's really only aimed at Street Fighter fans. If you've never played the game, of course you wouldn't get it.
- NickLee808, on 12/13/2008, -5/+12Quit while you're ahead.
- ParasyteStuie, on 12/13/2008, -2/+9...except Ryu and Ken.
- nevinl, on 12/14/2008, -0/+7sad...i remember more of those moves from > 10 years ago than the biochem exam that I took < 1 day ago
- shedtroll, on 12/13/2008, -1/+8Ryu's getting shortsighted in his old age XP
- smrekar, on 12/13/2008, -0/+7Prop 8 didn't apply to Video Games.
- dontlookleft, on 12/13/2008, -2/+8Negative nancy is negative.
- Spawn2105, on 12/13/2008, -2/+8Indeed.
I was merely pointing out in how many different ways its totally suitable. - Indifference & Mediocre - Humdain, on 12/13/2008, -2/+8That Ken and Ryu always at it. They never change!
