[Street Fighter LoA]

I left like, back a while ago, a review on your SF loa 2(bugged demo)

And now, for the sake of nostalgia, I've decided to replay this bugged but great masterpiece made by you as a fan.
I want to say 1 thing. This game... like, it sucks. I mean I love it, but... the whole situation sucks.
You quit on finishing this. This isn't fair for us. This needs to be finished.

I remember like, that a while ago, when I've played this back in like 2011 or so, I was reading the comments and saw how you replied to each individual, mostly letting us know that a 2nd part for this nicely, intelligently, artistically made flash, was going to be released soon. A few years later and, yes I understand, life happened, and you came to the conclusion that LoA won't have a 2nd part, but it will be left with this cliffhanger.

I want to say that I grew up in the age of Sega Genesis, and through all those well and nicely made games, I had this cartridge called Street Fighter: The New Challengers 2. So you can understand that it really made me feel nostalgic playing this, not only because I've played LoA back when it was released and few times after that, no... but it was AND because I was into SF since I was a child.

Yes this is a really selfish comment I know. I just want to say that I respect you, and the way you made this is, actually really incredible, just like a movie...YOU HAD ME THERE, mate... You TRULY, without EXAGGERATING, had me there, I was hit in the feels, I had a few chuckles here and there, I had goosebumps at times (RYU going into SATSUI NO HADO) but overall... If I were to choose... I would've never played this, since it has no sequel.

A lot of movies and series and even fan made games or flash movies (to name a few fanmades which gave me similar feelings - SMBZ/Sonic RPG and so on) which have no continuation or are just left unfinished, should I've never played or watched them in the first place. Even if they build me as a person, and probably leaving the series with a cliffhanger has the public more engaged with the actual movie/game and has the public thinking at it so much after the ending episode, still I'm left with a feeling of that I'm incomplete.

You made this so well, that I actually think of this as being truly the timeline of Street fighter.
I've actually looked it up and Gouken actually dies by Akuma. A very well made flash movie focusing on the youth of Ken Masters and Ryu. You get attached to the characters and, bro it really hits you in the feels.

I've wrote such a review because I just finished the game on the hardest level(again, for like the 4th time now), and also I see you actually engage with the fans for so many years... and I respect you for that as well.
The game basics and the style of RPG had me crazy, I love it so much and I saw that you are up to create a game as such (i don't know if I heard it correctly) STILL I AM focused on a potential LOA 2 to come out, but whatever you're going to release on Steam with this battle mechanism and cool story with original music / characters and so on, I'm just letting you know from now, that you can have my money.

I hate you, bye! (if u have discord lemme know privately, maybe u need a voice actor for your following games.)

Muja responds:

Hello there!
Sorry for my late reply, but I've had a few health problems during the past few months (nothing serious, I had to have surgery but all is well now!)

Now, to your review... I'm really glad you liked my game that much, and I'm quite sorry you felt betrayed by the ending..!
But let me explain, this is not an unfinished story. This game tells the story of young Ryu and Ken, how they lost their master and cemented their friendship in the meanwhile.
There's more after that? Sure, as Street Fighter is a ever growing franchise, but I can't be expected to tell ALL the story, or I'd never finish! Besides, it's not a story for me to tell.

This game's plot ends with a cliffhanger, true, but that's more of a way to tell you, the player, that SF will continue and to try out the other games in the franchise. Kind of a respectful way to say "Yeah this is only a fangame, if you want more try out the real deal".

By the way, yeah, I have all the intentions to make another game with the same-ish mechanic (maybe right after I release the Zombie Society game on Steam) but of course it won't be settled in the Street Fighter universe because I don't own the rights to that and the web is not as friendly to fangames as it was before.

So, stay tuned, and thank you for your support!

[Knotty story]

Will buy this game. It seems like something really interesting.
Will it be on steam or something ? or let us know where can we buy it from.
I for one, already love this game.
Peace and love!

CrounchyBrothers responds:

Thanks! :) We want to release the full game on steam (for a very small price) but nothing is planned yet ;) We are working actively for the full story, hope you'll like it! If you want to know where and when it'll be available just follow our twitter or FB page we'll keep you informed! Peace&Love

[Ultra Zultra]

Not a bad game at all
Nice graphics
cool soundtracks
nice combos
good controls
thus the game itself is quite enjoyable
Cheers.

Vidsneezes responds:

Thanks! I hope you keep enjoying the game.

[Rearmed Trials]

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT YESSS... DAMN MAN, WE HAVE SCORES AS WELL, HEH, COMPETITION, YA KNOW WHAT i MEAN? gg bruhh for real, might be difficult for others (as I've already read the comments) but i luv this, cheers mate...

D-SuN responds:

I'd like to do some kind of high score leaderboard give away real soon :)
Thanks for playing!
BTW I'm patching the game soon. More balance, better level.

[Fleeing the Complex]

Forgot to leave a review long ago. This game is too great. Everything is great, my fav is betrayal and the song in that part of the game + slow motion, dude it's waaaay waaaay too sick even tho is kinda the sad one lolol

PuffballsUnited responds:

Thanks! I wrote that song :D

[commandos]

The game didn't made me too interested in playing it more , because all I could do , is shooting stuff in the air , just to protect a wall . Uhm for your next projects , cuz I believe you're new in this kind of stuff, you should add more effects for other games. You could also make an update for this game, you know make it better like for example, not adding tanks falling out of the sky first, and make the game harder , you know ? cuz all I do is holding ''D'' moving left and right, and winning. I guess you don't want players to get bored at your project , anyways you do have an excuse that your a beginner so don't worry 'bout that hehe. UHHMM, what I would like to add more is that, I was talking about the effects, if you will maybe do an update for this game, when I will shoot a box , or a tank or anything else you might add, I want to see some action you know? see explosions...SFX... I didn't saw that in this game at all. Well you don't want people to shoot in things and pure and simply disappear, right? You want to make the player be more and more interested in playing your project, so in ur further projects don't forget about the SFX(special effects), sfx are important so don't forget about that
What else I could say ? I hope I will see more things from you , and good luck , I will follow your next projects so I can see how you go , aright? take care

speed8327 responds:

thanks for feedback, new UPDATED VERSION 0.1 is published :D

[Longie camps out]

well not something that I haven't saw already, the game and the controls are ok , the graphic and the soundtrack are funny. But as I've mentioned already, there's nothing too new or interesting. I'd really like to see some more things like this ... Next time do something with Longie, but an adventure game or something. I'll go chech your channel for maybe, other games and stuff. Keep it up

sijustudio responds:

Yes, infact it will be more updates with new surprises...;)

[Must Be Fast]

The game is ok , but it doesn't looks like something which could attract me to it

ANTARESXXI responds:

Thanks! I'll try to make it more attractive!

[Street Fighter LoA2 Demo]

I am giving you 5 stars already even tho I didn't played the game yet, but I will immediately I leave this review. SO, I wanted to ask you desperately, why you don't want to work at this project anymore? I mean CMOOOOOON Muja , I got the fact that , idk maybe your a busy guy and just sayin, it really wont be a sequel ? REALLLY? ye : Ryu : -'' KEN MEET ME IN THE TOURNAMENT'' The End. Really ? people now want to find out what will happen in the next sf loa 2, Ryu and Ken will manage to defeat Akuma? How the remach between Sagat, and Vega will go against Ryu and Ken, what is mr.bison up to anyways ? Cmon muja if you knew you couldn't maintain a project seriously why you created this anyways? to make your fans blow ? -.- ........... Oh and I did played it right now , damn is so difficult , If, aaandd I said IF, you would do a street fighter LoA2 , Just do it as you did with LoA 1 bcuz sf loa 1 was perfect, and I had no problems with the controls. BUT PLEASE DO IT :((((

Muja responds:

Hey there!
First of all I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your compliments and support.
I'm glad you liked my game that much.

Now, I want to explain this: Street Fighter LoA was always intended as a stand-alone game. The story in it has a beginning and an ending. Yeah, there's a cliffhanger at the end, but that's to add a little suspense and leave me an open door in case I ever want to make a sequel.
And at some time I seriously wanted to, or I wouldn't have made this demo.
But, just as you said, growing up makes you busier and busier, and suddenly I didn't have the time to dedicate myself to such a complicated project.

And now I'm working on totally different things (have you read my "interactive comics"?) that are less time consuming and... I have something going on. If you follow me, you'll see what I mean in a few months.

So, as much as I liked working on the first SF LoA, I don't see me working on the sequel in the near future. I'm sorry.

Eventually, though, I could make a similar game with the same battle system but with original story and characters.
Emphasis on "eventually".

Thank you again for your review!

[Bug]

Useless , you can't play it. Or at least I can't , but the graphics for a browse game is ok

Luigipowa responds:

it's a game where you need to pay attention, the mechanics aren't so easy you have to use you mind to understand how to accomplish objectives.
