As a kid I always got a kick outta the SF2 ports, because
they couldn't handle the depth or whatever it may be,
this one fool in Guile's stage -- looked like he was Cyclops.

The guy sat on the box? To the right of the one in sunglasses in the middle of the screen?

If I wore bulky red sun glasses as well, can I be cyclops as well?

After long study, I think he means the guy holding the girl in the first pic. It looks like he has two eyes to me, but if you don't focus your gaze the two eyes kind of combine and look like one giant eye.

no he actually means the guy sitting on the box facing the
right, if you look at the port there is only brown pixels
making up half of his face. Look at the arcade then the port
and you will see what he means.

I don't understand how so many people can not see what he's talking about.
BTW, Ryu has a uni-eye on the SNES version during his victory pose. It's sort of like a unibrow, except it's when your eyes grow together and meet in the middle. My cousin and I used to laugh at that in the course of mocking the SNES' poor resolution.

Well jeez, if I realized there were PRIZES, I would've posted... LOL
Took me a while to understand wtf you were talking about as well. I'm not sure the effect would really be amplified on a composite system; the guy's clearly got a left side of his face. Not sure if there's an eye in there, though... @_@

I still can't see it. Every person in the background there looks like they have two eyes :P

The SNES guy 2nd from the right has one distinct eye, and a shadow mess (where his left eye is "suggested").
I think it's the combination of a single distinct eye, the mildly deformed face, and the "O" mouth that cement the cyclops analogy for me.

I knew what he was talking about the first time I saw it.

His head is just tilted, that's like saying sagat has only one eye....socket in Retsudo's sig picture because he's looking sideways. Doesn't make him a cyclops (anymore than sagat already is anyways)

Hmm...holy crap, Ryu only has three toes on each foot.

Yeah, if the SNES guy only has one eye, then Ryu only has four toes on one foot in the arcade version. Now I've looked at the feet too long and they just look bad. You've ruined everything for me....

Good grief.
Why so many people miss the inherent humor of the original post...I'll never understand. I don't think the original poster was arguing that the character was literally Cyclops.
Next up: "What's so funny about the Zero Wing intro? Obviously it was mistranslated, but it's not like they did it on purpose. I'll bet that the original idea, pre-translation, was really cool and dramatic."
After that, we can move on to more important topics. Non-silly topics where we will get the definitive answer to questions such as:
"How many 16-bit titles had zebras as bosses?"
"Are there any games besides Virtua Racing that had a title screen that says 'Virtua Racing'?"
"Are arcades dead?"
"Top 100 Adventurevision games"
etc.

I saw a list of the top 100 virtual boy titles once... @_@
Oh, and Ryu has freaky feet.

Even worse, his opponent suddenly morphed from Ken into "Guile!"
Also, don't you worry Wavelflack, I'll start working on a list of 16-bit titles with zebra bosses. ;)

Flack, don't worry about it. You're getting upset over nothing. I am amused at these responses. LOL

In the arcade version, Ken and Ryu's shadows make them look like they're standing on little hearts. Ahw. How sweet.

Hehe in the SNES version all shadows looks like cars.

Those hearts are upside-down. Like pentagrams. O:

Why does the dude on the box of the SNES cart look like he is holding his crotch? Should Fox sue for an unlicensed use of Al Bundy? :)

I feel like I did back in the mid 90's when they had those 3D pictures that if you stared at them long enough you'd see the true image. Well I never did, and the same goes for this. LOL
All this staring makes my blood hurt!

Ulticron: I hated those "Magic Eyes." I was never able to find the stupid image. :)
By the way, I like how "POO" set the high score in the second picture. LOL
