That reminds me of that old champs adventure... the Great

Hey guys-
Er sorry to be a latecomer on this topic, but just a quick reminder that I
wrote up a Brazilian Jujutsu style about two years back. It should be in the
archives between August and October 1999. Of course it's just MY
interpretation of BJJ, but I think it should prove adequate in a pinch.
Just a heads up,
Darrick

Subject: I'm probably preaching to the choir, but...
I bought my wife a copy of "Once upon a time in China" on DVD for
Valentine's Day. Was bored waiting for Fed-Ex today so I popped it in.
Quite frankly, this movie kicks ass. It's one of Jet Li's earlier films, I
think - not sure exactly when it was made. But the finale makes the bamboo
grove scene in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" look like two kids annoying
each other in the schoolyard. Wong Fei-Hung fights a rival Master Yim in a
shipyard and the two of them fight on balancing ladders and hanging ropes
for the majority of the scene. It's *quite* cool.
Anyway, I'm probably the only one who hasn't caught this one yet, but I
enjoyed it highly.
Oh, and the Cantonese, Mandarin, *and* English soundtracks were nice
touches, too.

Re: [streetfighter] Re: Post Apocalyptic Firearms
figured this would be relevant for a couple reasons.
One, I was watching "Once Upon a Time in China" today, and several characters
made it a point to state that you can't fight guns with kung fu. In
addition, I recently dropped the Honor penalty for using a firearm outside a
tournament in my own game.
What? am I nuts?
no, I'm not. I've been thinking long and hard over it,
and decided that it wouldn't hurt.
by the way, the E-mail below is an example of why. In
Street Fighter, it's called "don't get within arm's reach of a Street Fighter,
or 'what fool brings a gun to a fist fight?'". In real life, it's called
the Two Second Rule. In self-defense classes, students are taught that if
you're not close enough to get on your opponent in two seconds, you're not close
enough to avoid getting shot while closing. Since I recently brought up
the fact that rounds are only a few seconds long, and most skilled Street
Fighters can close a ten-foot distance in a single round, I figured it was
relevant. :)
All I know is Chuck Norris was
called to testify in court over whether a well trained blackbelt could
get to a gunman and present a serious threat.
(the case involved a
jealous husband who shot his wife's lover who happened to be a blackbelt in
(Tae-Kwan-Do I Think). The court was trying to determine whether the
case was manslaughter or self defense.)
Norris stood ten feet away from
the bailiff who held a toy gun directly at him, before he could pull the
trigger, Norris had disabled him. The court asked for the demonstration two
more times (I think two it may have been three). Each time Norris took out the
bailiff. The case was ruled as self defense. Of course to some degree Chuck
was ready for the attack.

depending on the distance between the fighter
and the punk, this can be achieved in real-life, too. Friend of mine
told me that his self-defense instructor preached a two-second rule; if you
were too far away to close the distance in two seconds, forget trying to
charge a gunman. hey j; you're in New
Jersey? Me too. What part?

Thats the type of thing I mean that made it good. Sure shun isnt a game
character neither is Sadler. To me the dvd felt more like 1 episode of a
series. There is no way they could have worked on each and every charachter
well enough to make it good. It would have been a mess like SF2. and the
game cant possibly deal with all the finer aspects of the SF universe. They
little kid was only one aspect of Ryus life and now he's gone. Were never
gonna hear a whole story of any of the characters. Like In the SFA3 game,
one of the endings with ryu is that he has flashbacks, one of the flashbacks
is chunli thanking him for the challange and that they might do it again
some day. I never saw this in any of the games, as a mid boss ending or a
story ending so when did it happen.
Ryu was already demonstrating the dark hadou before Shun came along.
Its like I said earlier the SFA series isnt a tournament per say, its more
like a set of stories on each character, but SF1 and SF2 were definatly
tournaments, according to the endings.

Hi there
Im not sure I understand what you mean that he's a plot whole.
All that happened was that this kid runs up to ryu claiming he's his
brother. Ryu doesnt care if he is or isnt or if the facts are true or not.
According to rose he didnt even care what was going t happen to the kid till
she mentioned it.

Sadler bugged me. How many martial arts anime plan on using the "evil
warlord/scientist/doctor/corporate president holds a tournament on a small
island/in their hidden fortress (which may be on a small island) that's
really a trap/secret experiment to test new lifeforms/steal their powers"?
...and I liked the way The Animated Movie made a lot of the fighters bit
players. Because regardless of who our favorites may be, in a sense they're
all bit players in a grand mish-mash of plots that spans the world. some of
them run into each other sometimes, others don't. Capcom's decided that
Ken, Ryu, and Chun Li to a lesser extent are the "main characters", so the
others will fall by the wayside. Who would a Street Fighter movie draw as
an audience if it featured, say, DeeJay as the lead?
At least Zangief had a speaking part in II V, even if they did make him a
moron working for Shadoloo.
