Apparently, the worldwide economic slow-down has hit game maker Capcom as well. As evinced below, they seem to have eliminated what was left of the Storyline & Literature budget for Street Fighter 4:
When they’re fleshing out characters with backstories like “fighting to become the greatest chef in the world”, you can tell they simply aren’t bothering to try. No, the Mexican masked wrestler angle does not make things less ludicrous.

Oh, you’re serious. Production values have dropped a bit since Streetfighter II.
Actually I think they are taking this out of a playbook from an old Steven Seagal ( Master Mullet-tail fighter with no acting skills) flick ( Under Seige I think) where he plays a Chef on a carrier thar gets taken over. When confronted in the ships gully, he proclains ” Nobody… and I mean NOBODY, beats ME in the Kitchen.”
Wow,
that is pretty terrible. And to think someone has a job writting all of this stuff up…
My High School Guidance Counselor was useless…sigh
@wang: My ex (who was a teacher) talked about wanting to become a counselor…more money for less work.
@blunderprone: Surely, the power of that single line nearly catapulted him to Actor of the Year.
@likesforests: ‘Course I was serious. What could possibly lead you to believe I would write something so ridiculous?
A counselor?!? But oh, won’t anyone think of the children? Only a teacher can mold today’s young children into the leaders of tomorrow!
Michael Jackson is disappointed you didn’t praise his child-molding skills specifically.
