Joe
is undisputedly the most generic and unimaginative Street Fighter character in
history. For this guy, it's always a red pants and white shoes kind of day...
lol. Well, he's got
everything he needs to appear in an 80s kickboxer / martial arts flick. He might
not be a "great" fighting game design, but... at least he looks like a fighter.
[UPDATE] Ohh shit, well damn. I was right. He actually made it to a flick.
Street Fighter the movie 2026. Congrats, Joe. You made it. Which means we all
made it.
No way Capcom would \ bring him back right? Fast forward to SF4,
and any old school fan might say Joe shares a resemblance
to Abel.
Their similar haircut is the most prominent likeness. Abel also has
"amnesia", which begs the question: Did Abel forget he is actually Joe?
(I think Capcom disconfirmed this, but it was a fun fan speculation back in the
day.) And btw, way back in 1987 when I first played SF1 as a
kid, I didn't think Joe was a bad design or character. lol. However, I see newer characters in
the series like Luke and always think
back to the old school SF1 cast. My how far the series has come.
