Street Fighter/Mega Man US DVD sets

[Gamereviewgod]

Anyone get these yet? I have them all except Mega Man volume 2. The Street Fighter cartoon set is the one that aired on USA. I'm not sure when or where the Mega Man series aired. Haven't really sat down to watch 'em yet. Yes, the shows do suck (and you can get them cheaper elsewhere), but for the sheer cheese factor, you gotta love it.

I've seen them at best buy, but I don't have the cash to pick them up yet.

Are there any extras?

I so need to rock out to the Megaman intro... what were the lyrics again?

Oh yeah! "The Fighting Robot, Megaman!" over and over x_x

No extras AT ALL. There are some other trailers for more ADV anime, but that's it. Nothing on the shows themselves.

i remember seeing a few episodes of the mega man show, are they worth picking up? how much cheese per square inch are we talking here?

Can't really say anything about Mega Man yet, but there's an episode of SF that crosses over with Final Fight. The guy who voiced Cody sounds like Barney from the Andy Griffith Show crossed with your average male Jerry Springer guest. Priceless.

There's one episode of the Mega Man toon worth watching, it was called 'Mega X' or something like that. There was a cross-over of the X series with Vile, Spark Mandrill and Mr. Angst himself.

Mr. Angst? You mean Metal Shark Player?

The Mega Man series is mostly generic cartoon-hero scripting with the Capcom characters grafted thereon. Yet it's amusing for fans, who will probably get their money’s worth from the blunt novelty of Roll actually doing things.

The Street Fighter cartoon, however, is absolute comedic brilliance, and all of it unintentional. Some of it feels like re-worked episodes of the G.I. Joe cartoon, but there are moments of true genius. Nothing can adequately describe the brilliance of the episode where Blanka befriends an abandoned alien boy who's terrorizing a South American village, or the heartbreaking beauty of the one in which Chun-Li falls in love with a warrior-king from another dimension. Yes, really.

I've heard that the Darkstalkers series, also available on DVD, is clearly the worst of the three, but I haven't seen it.

By the way, there's evidence that work (or, at least, voice casting) was done on two other Capcom-based syndicated cartoons: Bionic Commando and Final Fight.

X, of course. With both him and the original Mega Man appearing at the same time it made things confusing for a brief while with the cartoon writers explaining X was an entirely different robot, while the mystery was never clarified by Capcom officially. The cartoon, was also made -just- before the first X game came out, and supposedly a pilot test for a new series. They never followed through with that though.

I remember some Darkstalker episodes vaguely, Felicia looked like a tramp with bright red lipstick. It was fairly rife with implausible situations, but hey, considering the cast..
