"M. Bison and his warriors are defeated, the Shadaloo base is destroyed, and Vega needs to learn about consent." is the best summary of a comic book I've heard.
I really like the artstyle of the Brazilian continuity, even the early ones before they mimicked Japanese artistry perfectly. Just a shame the story seems to be a total mess, because there could have been potential with it. Also it's shocking that Ken was scalped before the series was handed over to Brazil, something that violent hardly seems like it would have been approved for a US comic at the time. I can see why Capcom didn't want it to continue, it's not exactly what they were trying to do with the franchise. Makes me wonder how Malibu Comics would have done with a Mortal Kombat series instead, considering that seemed to be the demographic they were aiming for.
Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve encountered a Brazilian comic series based on something that gets risqué & super violent and has an art style that looks like someone’s first attempts at drawing anime characters I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, buts it’s weird that it happened twice. Are there any other examples of Brazilian comics like this and the Mega Man ones? Or is this just a bit of a coincidence?
@@st1ka I think I'm still have this one in my mother's house, it was a mini-series in 4 parts. The art was made by Erica Awano and she's great, and the story by Marcelo Cassaro. At the same time they made a Mortal Kombat series but that one I've dont have 👀
I'm not surprised that semi-official comics made up their own canon. Looks like typical 90s cheese, but Cammy was obviously drawn with love and admiration, and I appreciate that.
Aside from the "edgy" storyline, the main reason why Capcom ended its relationship with Malibu was the advertising of Mortal Kombat in the very Street Fighter II comic. It's like you're reading a Super Mario comic and turn the page to read "Genesis does what Nintendon't".
From what other people in the comment section said, it seems Malibu also did a run on Mortal Kombat. Except their mortal Kombat run was actually tamer than their street fighter one
The one thing that really shocked me the most is when Sagat chop off the scalp head of Ken,and delivers it to Ryu as a present. It’s one of the most shocking thing ever made. Brazil have such great imagination.
In the final issue, they announced that if they had been allowed to continue, Ken would have turned up later... bald! Like, um... that's not how scalping works. You literally showed his 'skin flaps' attached to the hair they sent Ryu, WTF?!
It feels like they were trying to be extra edgy and violent because that what they thought video games were about and what kids liked about them. I don't see any other reason cause it all feels very unnecessary unless the author is someone that just thinks violence for the sake of violence is cool.
I love how the art changes, by the point you mention the art quality increased, every panel, every. single. one. of them, is a direct copy of a frame of the SF2 1994 animated movie 🤣 Those guys took really seriously the "use references" advice!

I'm quite familiar with the manga / anime scene in brazil, but only some small bits on the 90s-2Ks and a bit more on the 10s-now. In the anime scene, which I am more familiar with, I know that anime tends to be a direct translation of the japanese continuity, with generally little to no censorship. A great example of this is the old sailor moon anime, in which there is a scene of the main protagonist, whose name has fled from my mind at the moment, is wearing an angelic dress and floating down to the ground. However, that is just the US version. In Brazil, Japan, and most of the South American countries, in fact, she is completely naked, with light being used to cover up the privates. This technique is still used today, but to a lesser extent, and I assume this was / is used in the manga. In today's time, while the official translations still exist and are commercialized, most people see manga on the web, either officially, or not (I am an exaple of the ones who do not use the official translation most of the times, as it comes out faster, even though at a lower quality, which is even said on most scans [By the way, that's the name most of them use] on the manga that I frequent). edit: the name of the main protagonist in Salor Moon is calle Tsukino Usagi, and also called the "Sailor Moon"
Just remember that back then, the SF2 lore was indeed very undeveloped, and Guile learning the Sonic Boom from an airplane accident was indeed the canon explanation for it. Weird, yeah. Cammy having amnesia was also her original character arc.
Well until the new millenium a lot of lore from every videogame was... let's say inconsistent or weird It felt more like mouth to mouth knowledge than anything else also
Okay, I really wanna read this now. Also, I would love to see more vids on Brazilian comics in the future. These are a fascinating, wild ride! Much love from Canada.
You mentioned the similarity of that one character to Shang Tsung, but the whole story about the other-realm tournament is also taken from Mortal Kombat, and that elder guy looks like Raiden. You said they went to the arcade to study Street Fighter before making this comic, and I'm wondering if they saw Mortal Kombat in the same arcade and liked it a lot more. They wanted to be working on a Mortal Kombat comic instead.
Kinda like how the man who's most famous for taking the photo of the Windows XP hill, owns a Mac. And it's not because Microsoft stiffed him either, they actually paid a decent sum for the negative, or however that works.
Yeah, it seems to be the case. Granted a lot of Brazilian printed media from the 90s and early 00s had tons of deliberate references to anime and pop culture, so who knows. Lots of copycat or straight up bootleg stuff circulated quite openly in the 90s as well in Brazil, so it's not something that would draw attention then.
That's a fun perk of living in an emergent third world country in the 90's... the line between official and bootleg is very blurred. I didn't like that works before because I knew the most "canon" things were from Japan only. But now, I learned to respect these efforts, people got a license and was making things with scarce resources, not knowing if there would be a next issue... It took a while until original comics for young (not children) audiences started to appear and gain traction, mostly along manga and anime.
@@ReiChiquita567 And exactly how many "far right Christians" did you poll to arrive at that opinion? Zero, I'm guessing.

Nos anos 90, o Brasil não tinha muita censura... na mídia, nas revistas e até mesmo nos quadrinhos, a violência era vista com certa facilidade. Na televisão, durante o período da tarde eram transmitidos filmes de terror. Já sobre erotismo, tinha muita coisa de duplo sentido e às vezes sem filtro, como no que foi apresentado no seu vídeo.
Cavaleiro dos Zodíacos era considerado um desenho infantil Você ia assistir e tinha decapitação, sangue, personagens arrancando o coração de outros, nudez (esse um pouco mais light no geral) e toda sorte de coisas adultas Sem sacanagem fui me tocar da diferença da imagem pública da série e do conteúdo já revendo na virada da adolescência pra vida adulta "Caraí, esse negócio extremo pra caramba era voltado pra crianças?" Até Dragon Ball, fenômeno aqui como aí, todo mundo acha que era um desenho infantil mesmo, especialmente na fase Z, a violência gráfica fosse ... Bom aquela surra da Vídel no torneio de artes marciais me deixa desconfortável de ver hoje em dia ... Mesmo quando visto com a bizarra dublagem português parece meio ... Sei lá bicho ...
Os Cavaleiros do Zodiíaco originalmente passou em Portugal em Japonês, mas a estação de televisão recebeu queixas dos pais por causa do nivel de violencia. Então, anos mais tarde, outra estação comprou os direitos de passar os cavaleiros do zodíaco, mas em vez de ser em Japonês, fizeram uma dobragem humorística para não receberem queixas. E assim nasceu a horrível dubragem Portuguesa xD
@@st1ka O anime Yu Yu Hakusho por aqui continha várias gírias, para ser um pouco humorístico, mas o sangue tinha normalmente. A censura só retirou um símbolo da testa de um guerreiro, pois era o símbolo daquele governo do bigodinho que não vou escrever o nome aqui hehehehe
I won’t lie, when I saw “Brazilian Street Fighter Comic” I half-expected it to be even crazier than the Brazilian Mega Man comic. 😆 Still, Ken Masters getting scalped?! Holy shit! 😰
@@ericlensher7936 é um período interessante de gaming e é algo que faz parte da história da Brasil. É conteúdo com problemas e ofensivo? Infelizmente sim. Mas o facto de existir de todo torna-o muito interessante. Em Portugal por exemplo, nunca ninguem tentou criar um gibi oficial. Mas no Brasil, alguem tentou e conseguiu. Era bom? epa.. não. Tinha problemas? Sim muitos. Mas existe, e é por isso que o adoro. Adoro pelo seu contexto histórico :)
It's nice seeing this series get noticed. Issue#2 has always been a fun addition from my collection to show to people. That scene of Ryu holding Ken's scalp always gets a reaction. Also, I'm a proud owner of The Ferret Issue #1 (which is cut to match the cover art rather than the traditional comic book rectangle).
Honestly the one thing I'm impressed is the perfected art style, like damn, it looks really good and makes me think that talented people can exist in every corner of the world
7:50 I might have noticed this in the Brazilian Megaman comic, but now that I have seen their Brazilian version of Cammy and one of her famous victory poses, I can tell that there were some Brazilian comic artists that were heavy fans of 80s and early 90s Anime especially the OVAs that were around back then.
Fascinating. I had the first two issues as a kid and found them to be pretty odd when it came to Street Fighter lore and tone, but despite that I liked it. I was sad I never found issue 3. Now I finally know the whole story about what was going on with this series. Thanks for making this video.
I have the original Malibu comics still. 😂 I never new it continued after the cancellation though! 😱 I like how the last issues really look like the Manga Entertainment comics, you can tell the crew watched the SF2 movie...especially the shower scene. 🤣 Loved this video thank you, subbed.
Side - Note - Years after this séries, when the Street Fighter Alpha 3 was released, there was a Brazilian mini séries (4 volumes) based on the New game written and Produced Here in Brazil. The writer? Sergio Peixoto. The ilustrator? Erika Awano. Both worked Together on the Mega Man comics (wich the main goal was never make a solid storyline as much more give chance and experience for new Artists and comic crafters. Awano is talented as shit and still making great work till this day). Thiiiiiis was a diferent kind Of beast. Peixoto liked the games and was much more experienced with anime and manga narratives. The result is more akin to The vídeo game and a much better product overall. No high art but, come on, this is Street Fighter not Hamlet! If you want to Take a peek on what I consider THE BEST manga-like experience in Brazil I Strongly recomend look after a series named HOLY AVENGER - wich was condensed in 4 books, ALL in portuguese - where the Erika Awano ART is better than ever and make you travels around a story based on the Table RPG "Tormenta". I'm not sure If It was released on Portugal but I believe you can buy It on Low prices (our oficial coin is ridiculously devalued so ... Well, good time to consume Brazilian stuff when you're in europe 👍🏻) I really really recomend this one. IS Like look back and see How after a poor start Things grow and reach high Staples!
Nos anos 2000, a rede social orkut era bem popular. Nela existia uma comunidade chamada "tiger robocop", algumas pessoas falavam que esse era o ataque do sagat, do street fighter. Na tiger robocop tinha muita história engraçada e interessante.
Lembra daquela do LOBEI? LOBEI, segundo a descrição da comunidade, era como o narrador do SF2 chamava o Blanka quando ele era selecionado na tela de personagens.
So basically new head director of Escada was more a Mortal Kombat fan so he decide to make Mortal Kombat with Street Figthers characters (extreme violence, outworld God martial arts tournament, shape-shifting character).
I love how he always interrupts the video to check the age of female characters and I unferstand him: I hate when fictional characters are harassed as well.
Thank for these videos on Brazilian media, truly. I'm Brazilian and I never saw this before, it's really amazing to see stuff like this be documented this way.
Hi there! I’m Marcelo Cassaro, editor and scriptwriter on those comic's earlier issues, and other SF Brazilian titles among RPGs and manga. Your video is awesome! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Haha thank you so much! I guess my first question would be. How did Capcom perceive these comics? Were they strict with what you could and could not do with the ip or did it feel like they didn't care?
There were a couple different series from HK. For some reason there's a lot of rape plots. In one of them Ryu and Chun Li are dating and they have Chun Li raped to get Ryu angry and become stronger. In the 3rd strike one, Akuma defeats Bison, crushed his balls, peed on him, then have a bunch of gay black men rape him. In fact, I think they made Akuma rape a lot of people for some reason. It's completely insane.
I am Brazilian, in this case I followed these comic books as a child, in one of the editions my name appeared in the readers section, because I had sent a letter for editing. I basically followed all the edits. I always ran to newsstands anxious to find the new edition. Good times... nice work my friend on your channel, I subscribed.
The bit about the Brazilian editors and Chun Li's relationship with Ken is that the editor (or something at the time) had an insert character called Capitão Ninja (Who went on to have his own series, actually, called UFO Team), who jumped across several game franchises and had Chun Li as his waifu. Interestingly enough, it's the same dude (Marcelo Cassaro) who wrote Holy Avenger and Victory, both successful and the latter actually being released there, in the USA.
Noooossa, Capitão Ninja 🤯!? Direto do túnel do tempo isso aí🤣huashuashuash! Se não me engano, ele também aparecia com frequência em uma revista de games (Game-X, acho) que tinha, sei lá, umas 12 páginas 😂!
I grew up following these comics, and I have several of them still in my collection. Brazil has a curious relationship with Street Fighter. We had SF2 and SFZ3 comics, here it was published the White Wolf's tabletop RPG, we had our own SFZ3 RPG and we had an original boardgame, different from the American one. We also recently had the book Essential Street Fighter, covering the entire saga and authorized by Capcom.
Great video and pure nostalgia for me! I remember buying some issues when I was like 5 or 6 and innocently asking my mom the meaning of a dozen bad words I was learning there.
St1ka my dear I'm not only Brazilian (I WAS THERE!) but also read ALL these comics you mentioned. Some Things have a little context ... Others ... Well was merelly bad taste. I don't know If this was comented on the mega Man vídeo but I remember that the editor - José Roberto Pereira - was a person with ... Issues, to say the least. The scene Of Brazilian comics was (and still being) hard probably as much as the Portuguese overseas but off course the reasons are more deep than simply "these foreigners are talking our Jobs"... This was so unprofessional that Sérgio Peixoto, the other editor, pull his plugs otherwise they'll loose the license (and public interest) ... This have nothing to do with Street Fighter but ... That was the scenary where ALL the stuff happens ... Editora Escala was, i believe still being, and publish house that has an absurdly amount Of publications sometimes dividing his own public. When they have the chance Of making Street Fighter comics they Just pull the "keep releasing more" mode ... Everything that comes on média becomes an reference for the writers that, as you Said, where not gamers and even on a comics language did not have much experience at time ... This said I think they did not ALL bad ... At least comparing to MALIBU ... Why hell Guile was the main Man? Because he was the protagonist of the 95 movie and American animated series ... Yeah, Just this. When something comes from Japan they try to put It quickly on the story ... There are some few influences on later Editions tô The japanese STF2 the Motion Picture, wich was created First but come to Brazil later. It must have been dificult for the writers to keep making contente after ALL stuff related to The game was allready used ... Thats when they come with the Shang Tsung look Alike and Elder Gods (sort Of mortal Kombat, Huh?) Stuff... I really got curious How they would end the Akuma/Gouki Arc because ... For a kid this was Frigging exciting ... Unfortunatelly ALL ended without a last note ... :/ Like a Lot Of Things on the third World this was ALL drive through the need and with the work Of people learning How to do Things while doing. Not a high art by any means but, you know, somewhat It gives me nostalgia Of these simpler times Of child when we could read stories based on our favorite games ALL created Here :)
@@st1ka yeeaaaah ... I Guess maybe at the end he develop a little more ... Something with the characters, the final Arc was better written and had a better pacing the the others but was sort Of late unfortunatelly ...
I'm from Brazil and I remember as a kid that I was confused with the changes between the US and BR versions. hahaha... I only understood many many years later this story with the internet. I got these comics in the internet recently and I enjoyed very much to read all the stuff again. 😄
There is nothing wrong with "fan service". As long as its not the sole defining charactersitic, there is absolutely no problem with it. The over sensitivity these days is god damn ridiculous.
Since you are the Brazilian retro guy, could you answer this for me: There seems to be some animosity against Americans within the Brazilian media (or at least in the comic department). Just about every Brazilian outlet of retro media that has an American, he is either killed, embarrassed, or serves as a device to push the story (usually in a violent manner). It could be coincidence and I could only been seeing these rare cases. So I ask the question; was there a rivalry or dislike for Americans in the retro Brazilian media and if so why? Or is the "Wounded American" just a trope?
Well I'm not Brazilian, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt. But long story short, after reading the editors columns for Street Fighter and Megaman it felt like the Brazilian comics industry suffered from "notice me, senpai" syndrome. It seems they wanted to become as popular and famous as Western comic books or Japanese manga. so I think that might be the main reason.
This is the first video I’ve watched from you and I only heard about you from my other channel’s featured videos or recommend. Have to say really good content
When I read the comics when I was younger with the later sf2 chapters, I legit thought it was the legit japanese versions... The art was really good and I thought the stories were fine. This is a shocker to me.
Man, I remember buying issue 3 on a whim when I was a kid and never seeing this again. I was secretly hoping the whole series would continue under Marcelo Cassaro, he was omnipresent in the Brazilian nerd market in the 90s, and as you said, his art style is a very unique mix of 80s manga art style (think early Rumiko Takahashi) with superhero comic anatomy. Too bad they rebooted the whole thing yet again.
@@st1ka there was also a few issues of Street Fighter Zero under Marcelo Cassaro, but under another publisher, called Editora Trama. Though they're not officially a continuation of the Escala run, they sort of feel like being part of the same vague continuity.
16:29 To be fair, Street Fighter Alpha 2 initiated the upskirt panty shot of Sakura as many of her moves and win poses In that game featured upskirt shots. Matter of fact, that's one of the main reasons i suspect that devs love the sailor fuku, they can get away with upskirt shots on the reg just because of the way the characters naturally move.
These comics marked my childhood. As a brazilian who accompanied Street Fighter Mania, TV Manchete (of the generation Saint Seiya: Os Cavaleiros do Zodíaco) and SBT (Silvio Santos, Dragon Ball) here. Thanks for that video.
I remember a few pages of this being shown in a gaming magazine when I was a kid, I thought it was meant as a joke, I didn't know it was from a real series.
Those Brazilian comics were so bad. At least there was some cohesive art style on the street fighter one (and honestly it was as bad as the American comic it replaced - the one where Ken died in the first issue). Megaman on the other hand was 100% a disaster - and the artwork was actually done ( i believe without payment) by unprofessional artists
It's interesting to see these comics and such from other regions like Brazil. It's too bad that this comic series was canceled when it was, because the drawings were looking pretty good.
@@st1ka In 98, Brazilian publisher Dinap published an officially licensed 4-part mini-series adaptation of Mortal Kombat 4. "Officially licensed" being the keywords - doesn't get anywhere near the "artistic liberties" taken with the MM and SF adaptations.
I was going to write a good text, but in the end I'm just going to wrap it all in one question: who the hell is Ken's surgeon?! Because he made a great job with the scalp implant!! Ok, jokes apart, but just to remind the younger viewers, the Malibu art style is typical of comics in the 90's. Actually, you could find art that raw specially in DC comics. Many series like Batman, Superman and Justice League had this art style, and boy did it sting the eyes.
Brazil also had a lewd Mega Man comic. In a few scenes it seemed Mega Man and his brother Proto Man were fighting over Roll's affection while her titties were floppin for some reason. Here's where it gets nasty. Mega Man, Proto Man and Roll are in a sense, related, because they were all made by Dr. Light. Brazil we need to talk.
@@st1ka Just found out you already have a video on that. Now I feel like one silly goose. What's even sillier, is I actually came back to post a link of YOUR VIDEO to this comment as a source after finding it in my recommendations. I'm dead bro
I heard about this but didn’t know how deep this rabbit hole goes. Although funny enough I still do own the Street Fighter issue where E Honda fights The Ferret. What a strange journey this comic went through

It was adventurous, and I loved it! Google will always set me straight.
Okay, I really wanna read this now.
Also, I would love to see more vids on Brazilian comics in the future. These are a fascinating, wild ride!
Much love from Canada.
I will admit I'm not aware of more insane brazilian gaming comic book series, but who knows? :P
Chiclete com Banana?
You mentioned the similarity of that one character to Shang Tsung, but the whole story about the other-realm tournament is also taken from Mortal Kombat, and that elder guy looks like Raiden. You said they went to the arcade to study Street Fighter before making this comic, and I'm wondering if they saw Mortal Kombat in the same arcade and liked it a lot more. They wanted to be working on a Mortal Kombat comic instead.
It's very possible indeed. I didn't realize it at the time, but there are some clear Mortal Kombat influences in this comic
Kinda like how the man who's most famous for taking the photo of the Windows XP hill, owns a Mac. And it's not because Microsoft stiffed him either, they actually paid a decent sum for the negative, or however that works.
Yeah, it seems to be the case. Granted a lot of Brazilian printed media from the 90s and early 00s had tons of deliberate references to anime and pop culture, so who knows. Lots of copycat or straight up bootleg stuff circulated quite openly in the 90s as well in Brazil, so it's not something that would draw attention then.
When you know exactly where that chun li art in the thumbnail is actually coming from 👀
Haha
Brazilian comic book publishing from the 80's and 90's just seems wild!
I kinda love it though :D
@@st1ka They look like a wild ride ngl
Yet kinda are haha
@@Tenorio_Cavalcante Oh I've heard about it. I've also heard it's actually pretty good.
Brazil censorchip from 80s to 90s was realy low, unless you were making a critic about politic or a unpopular one.
That's a fun perk of living in an emergent third world country in the 90's... the line between official and bootleg is very blurred. I didn't like that works before because I knew the most "canon" things were from Japan only. But now, I learned to respect these efforts, people got a license and was making things with scarce resources, not knowing if there would be a next issue...
It took a while until original comics for young (not children) audiences started to appear and gain traction, mostly along manga and anime.
To be fair it does mean Brazil has a rich and unique gaming History which is awesome
@@st1ka yeah its a shame everything here is a fair mess
@@tammid8423 Yeah, sorry about that :(
"Checking the female characters ages" gag is my favorite part of this video.
Doubly funny that Sakura is 15 because age of consent in Brazil is 14...
eew
it's not wrong, it's just a little out of context, the law only allows it with parental consent, and it's not morally accepted by people
@@MagicUzer they law says so, but the people(unless far right christians) dont like that
Glad you liked the video :D
@@ReiChiquita567 And exactly how many "far right Christians" did you poll to arrive at that opinion? Zero, I'm guessing. At any rate, "love has no age" is far more likely to be said at a Pride Parade by someone holding a PSOL membership card than at a Corpus Christi procession by someone holding a rosary.
Nos anos 90, o Brasil não tinha muita censura... na mídia, nas revistas e até mesmo nos quadrinhos, a violência era vista com certa facilidade. Na televisão, durante o período da tarde eram transmitidos filmes de terror. Já sobre erotismo, tinha muita coisa de duplo sentido e às vezes sem filtro, como no que foi apresentado no seu vídeo.
Foi de facto uma era muito interessante!
Cavaleiro dos Zodíacos era considerado um desenho infantil
Você ia assistir e tinha decapitação, sangue, personagens arrancando o coração de outros, nudez (esse um pouco mais light no geral) e toda sorte de coisas adultas
Sem sacanagem fui me tocar da diferença da imagem pública da série e do conteúdo já revendo na virada da adolescência pra vida adulta "Caraí, esse negócio extremo pra caramba era voltado pra crianças?"
Até Dragon Ball, fenômeno aqui como aí, todo mundo acha que era um desenho infantil mesmo, especialmente na fase Z, a violência gráfica fosse ... Bom aquela surra da Vídel no torneio de artes marciais me deixa desconfortável de ver hoje em dia ... Mesmo quando visto com a bizarra dublagem português parece meio ... Sei lá bicho ...
Os Cavaleiros do Zodiíaco originalmente passou em Portugal em Japonês, mas a estação de televisão recebeu queixas dos pais por causa do nivel de violencia.
Então, anos mais tarde, outra estação comprou os direitos de passar os cavaleiros do zodíaco, mas em vez de ser em Japonês, fizeram uma dobragem humorística para não receberem queixas. E assim nasceu a horrível dubragem Portuguesa xD
@@st1ka O anime Yu Yu Hakusho por aqui continha várias gírias, para ser um pouco humorístico, mas o sangue tinha normalmente. A censura só retirou um símbolo da testa de um guerreiro, pois era o símbolo daquele governo do bigodinho que não vou escrever o nome aqui hehehehe
Melhor época, as notícias eram passadas do jeito que eram, sem esses filtros que nos deixaram abobados.
I won’t lie, when I saw “Brazilian Street Fighter Comic” I half-expected it to be even crazier than the Brazilian Mega Man comic. 😆
Still, Ken Masters getting scalped?! Holy shit! 😰
Yeah it's still pretty out there xD
@@st1ka Oh, it certainly is. Don't get me wrong. I just thought this one seemed somewhat tame by comparison to the Mega Man comic.
@@Flashshadow yeah, nothing beats the Mega Man comic I'm afraid xD
A culpa é de vocês, nossos colonizadores! Brincadeiras à parte, um grande abraço de um brasileiro que admira muito seu trabalho!!
Haha. Mas não se preocupe porque adoro todas as coisas que o Brasil criou. O street Fighter, o megaman, play game, tudo:D
@@st1ka não devia...
@@ericlensher7936 é um período interessante de gaming e é algo que faz parte da história da Brasil. É conteúdo com problemas e ofensivo? Infelizmente sim.
Mas o facto de existir de todo torna-o muito interessante. Em Portugal por exemplo, nunca ninguem tentou criar um gibi oficial. Mas no Brasil, alguem tentou e conseguiu.
Era bom? epa.. não. Tinha problemas? Sim muitos. Mas existe, e é por isso que o adoro. Adoro pelo seu contexto histórico :)
It's nice seeing this series get noticed. Issue#2 has always been a fun addition from my collection to show to people. That scene of Ryu holding Ken's scalp always gets a reaction.
Also, I'm a proud owner of The Ferret Issue #1 (which is cut to match the cover art rather than the traditional comic book rectangle).
is the Ferret's run any good?
Honestly the one thing I'm impressed is the perfected art style, like damn, it looks really good and makes me think that talented people can exist in every corner of the world
yeah the art got really good later on
OMG I READ THIS!!! I remember Guile breaking the windows to the bar and thinking "Oh yea... it's actually a Sonic boom. Not some slow-mo projectile."
yep it was a sonic boom :D
7:50 I might have noticed this in the Brazilian Megaman comic, but now that I have seen their Brazilian version of Cammy and one of her famous victory poses, I can tell that there were some Brazilian comic artists that were heavy fans of 80s and early 90s Anime especially the OVAs that were around back then.
Oh anime was super popular on Brazil well before it became popular in the rear of the world
Fascinating. I had the first two issues as a kid and found them to be pretty odd when it came to Street Fighter lore and tone, but despite that I liked it. I was sad I never found issue 3. Now I finally know the whole story about what was going on with this series. Thanks for making this video.
Glad I could help, my dude!
I have the original Malibu comics still. 😂
I never new it continued after the cancellation though! 😱
I like how the last issues really look like the Manga Entertainment comics, you can tell the crew watched the SF2 movie...especially the shower scene. 🤣
Loved this video thank you, subbed.
let's be honest. Back then, we all watched that shower scene very closely
Side - Note - Years after this séries, when the Street Fighter Alpha 3 was released, there was a Brazilian mini séries (4 volumes) based on the New game written and Produced Here in Brazil.
The writer? Sergio Peixoto. The ilustrator? Erika Awano. Both worked Together on the Mega Man comics (wich the main goal was never make a solid storyline as much more give chance and experience for new Artists and comic crafters. Awano is talented as shit and still making great work till this day).
Thiiiiiis was a diferent kind Of beast. Peixoto liked the games and was much more experienced with anime and manga narratives. The result is more akin to The vídeo game and a much better product overall. No high art but, come on, this is Street Fighter not Hamlet!
If you want to Take a peek on what I consider THE BEST manga-like experience in Brazil I Strongly recomend look after a series named HOLY AVENGER - wich was condensed in 4 books, ALL in portuguese - where the Erika Awano ART is better than ever and make you travels around a story based on the Table RPG "Tormenta".
I'm not sure If It was released on Portugal but I believe you can buy It on Low prices (our oficial coin is ridiculously devalued so ... Well, good time to consume Brazilian stuff when you're in europe 👍🏻) I really really recomend this one. IS Like look back and see How after a poor start Things grow and reach high Staples!
Yeah I've just recently discovered about the street fighter zero Brazilian comic book series. I might do a video on it down the line ^^
@@st1ka "There's where the good Things are 😎✌🏻"
heck yeah!
7:11
Brazil knows how to use Cammy.
xD
The Ferret was a silly character from Malibu's Ultraverse series of super heroes. It wasn't a new character, just a bad crossover.
Oh! I had no idea. I'll admit it didn't even occur to me to research the character
@@st1ka not only that the ferret Is a comic character that Is in the public domain with the Malibu comics version was a revamp of that character.

Nos anos 2000, a rede social orkut era bem popular. Nela existia uma comunidade chamada "tiger robocop", algumas pessoas falavam que esse era o ataque do sagat, do street fighter. Na tiger robocop tinha muita história engraçada e interessante.
Haha muito bom
Ksksksskskssksksk brasileiro sai zoando com tudo não é possível
Pra mim, a melhor coisa que tinha no Orkut era floodar tópicos inúteis com gifs ou textgraphics do Rui soltando hadouken.
Lembra daquela do LOBEI? LOBEI, segundo a descrição da comunidade, era como o narrador do SF2 chamava o Blanka quando ele era selecionado na tela de personagens.
So basically new head director of Escada was more a Mortal Kombat fan so he decide to make Mortal Kombat with Street Figthers characters (extreme violence, outworld God martial arts tournament, shape-shifting character).
It's definitely possible
I love how he always interrupts the video to check the age of female characters and I unferstand him: I hate when fictional characters are harassed as well.
Dan being actually competent was the biggest surprise from this series. Great video 👍
Yeah it's funny that he actually held his own against Akuma lol
Would be really cool if the Brazilian Publishers will do a
Blanka-centered Adventures in the Jungles of Brazil.
That would have been awesome! They did do a side-story that isn't connected to the main continuity, but that was it.
Kinda ironic how it looked like the Brazilian comic crew didn’t do much with the Street Fighter character from Brazil.
From what I read in the fan mail, it seems fans were more interested in the main cast than Blanka tbh
Or maybe a Sean Matsuda comic...?
@ that would’ve been nice too, set in SFIII timeline.
please bring even more extremely rare comicbook stories, editions and articles in general. We loved this segment & rare materials in the channel!
Admittedly, finding them isn't easy. But if I can I will 😅
I also did a video on the Brazilian MegaMan comic books if you're interested ^^
That face on the thumbnail always got me bro
yeeaaaaah xD
Thank for these videos on Brazilian media, truly. I'm Brazilian and I never saw this before, it's really amazing to see stuff like this be documented this way.
É algo que acho mesmo muito interessante e adoro as interpretações brasileiras :D
13:13 Did they ever explain how Ken got his hair back? Or was the scalping just forgotten about in one of the reboots?
it was simply rebooted. So it's as if the whole scalping thing never happened.
Hi there! I’m Marcelo Cassaro, editor and scriptwriter on those comic's earlier issues, and other SF Brazilian titles among RPGs and manga.
Your video is awesome! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Haha thank you so much! I guess my first question would be. How did Capcom perceive these comics? Were they strict with what you could and could not do with the ip or did it feel like they didn't care?
Based on how shocking the Malibu run was, I can only imagine what kind of insane shit they would’ve done with Darkstalkers
Ainda bem que não aconteceu.
Thar would have been interesting to see

Thank you :D
There were some really weird Chinese-language Street Fighter comics in the 90s. I think they came out of Hong Kong, but I'm not sure.
Oh man, any idea if they're translated? I'd love to check them out
There were a couple different series from HK. For some reason there's a lot of rape plots. In one of them Ryu and Chun Li are dating and they have Chun Li raped to get Ryu angry and become stronger. In the 3rd strike one, Akuma defeats Bison, crushed his balls, peed on him, then have a bunch of gay black men rape him. In fact, I think they made Akuma rape a lot of people for some reason. It's completely insane.
@@akba666 Jesus!
@@akba666 Yes, I'd heard about that. I had no idea if it was true or not.
@@st1ka I haven't heard of anyone translating them. There was also a "mirror match" shapeshifter character in these called Dark Heart or something.
I am Brazilian, in this case I followed these comic books as a child, in one of the editions my name appeared in the readers section, because I had sent a letter for editing. I basically followed all the edits. I always ran to newsstands anxious to find the new edition. Good times... nice work my friend on your channel, I subscribed.
That's kind of awesome! And thank you :D
Lmfao I lost it when you are looking at Sakura , Chun Li and Cammy's age 🤣
funny thing is, that joke was pretty last minute
Congratulations on this breakthrough video, St1ka! It has garnered 4x the views of your next-highest video. I wish you continued success.
Thank you! Hopefully it's a sign of things to come :D
The bit about the Brazilian editors and Chun Li's relationship with Ken is that the editor (or something at the time) had an insert character called Capitão Ninja (Who went on to have his own series, actually, called UFO Team), who jumped across several game franchises and had Chun Li as his waifu. Interestingly enough, it's the same dude (Marcelo Cassaro) who wrote Holy Avenger and Victory, both successful and the latter actually being released there, in the USA.
Oh wow I had no idea. There awesome. Thank you so much for the extra info
Noooossa, Capitão Ninja 🤯!? Direto do túnel do tempo isso aí🤣huashuashuash! Se não me engano, ele também aparecia com frequência em uma revista de games (Game-X, acho) que tinha, sei lá, umas 12 páginas 😂!
It looks great thirty seconds in. Subbed.
Thank you :D
I grew up following these comics, and I have several of them still in my collection. Brazil has a curious relationship with Street Fighter. We had SF2 and SFZ3 comics, here it was published the White Wolf's tabletop RPG, we had our own SFZ3 RPG and we had an original boardgame, different from the American one. We also recently had the book Essential Street Fighter, covering the entire saga and authorized by Capcom.
You should talk about this Brazilian comic too: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-1zuWuB3eRaE/Tiy89-hu0tI/AAAAAAAADDs/EfjxvtKoHL4/s1600/ficha+tecnica.png
A Street Fighter Alpha 3 RPG? That sounds amazing!
@@st1ka SFStG from White Wolf is better, but Brazilian SFZ3 RPG is cool for a casual play or to newbies.
Great video and pure nostalgia for me! I remember buying some issues when I was like 5 or 6 and innocently asking my mom the meaning of a dozen bad words I was learning there.
OMG that's adorable!
St1ka my dear I'm not only Brazilian (I WAS THERE!) but also read ALL these comics you mentioned. Some Things have a little context ... Others ... Well was merelly bad taste.
I don't know If this was comented on the mega Man vídeo but I remember that the editor - José Roberto Pereira - was a person with ... Issues, to say the least. The scene Of Brazilian comics was (and still being) hard probably as much as the Portuguese overseas but off course the reasons are more deep than simply "these foreigners are talking our Jobs"... This was so unprofessional that Sérgio Peixoto, the other editor, pull his plugs otherwise they'll loose the license (and public interest) ... This have nothing to do with Street Fighter but ... That was the scenary where ALL the stuff happens ...
Editora Escala was, i believe still being, and publish house that has an absurdly amount Of publications sometimes dividing his own public. When they have the chance Of making Street Fighter comics they Just pull the "keep releasing more" mode ... Everything that comes on média becomes an reference for the writers that, as you Said, where not gamers and even on a comics language did not have much experience at time ... This said I think they did not ALL bad ... At least comparing to MALIBU ...
Why hell Guile was the main Man? Because he was the protagonist of the 95 movie and American animated series ... Yeah, Just this. When something comes from Japan they try to put It quickly on the story ... There are some few influences on later Editions tô The japanese STF2 the Motion Picture, wich was created First but come to Brazil later.
It must have been dificult for the writers to keep making contente after ALL stuff related to The game was allready used ... Thats when they come with the Shang Tsung look Alike and Elder Gods (sort Of mortal Kombat, Huh?) Stuff...
I really got curious How they would end the Akuma/Gouki Arc because ... For a kid this was Frigging exciting ... Unfortunatelly ALL ended without a last note ... :/
Like a Lot Of Things on the third World this was ALL drive through the need and with the work Of people learning How to do Things while doing. Not a high art by any means but, you know, somewhat It gives me nostalgia Of these simpler times Of child when we could read stories based on our favorite games ALL created Here :)
Thank you so much for the context. This was super interesting to read! And yeah it did feel like the writer's hearts weren't into this project 😅
@@st1ka yeeaaaah ... I Guess maybe at the end he develop a little more ... Something with the characters, the final Arc was better written and had a better pacing the the others but was sort Of late unfortunatelly ...
Yeah sad but true ^^
I'm from Brazil and I remember as a kid that I was confused with the changes between the US and BR versions. hahaha...
I only understood many many years later this story with the internet. I got these comics in the internet recently and I enjoyed very much to read all the stuff again. 😄
It's definitely weird and unique xD
Great video! Opened my eyes to comics I've never seen before. I love street fighter and it's history. So classic.
Glad you enjoyed it :D
8:21 so he was playing Jaspion (Juspion in the Japanese original)!?
Apparently so :D
Interesting. Thank you for making this overview 😀

There is nothing wrong with "fan service".
As long as its not the sole defining charactersitic, there is absolutely no problem with it.

LOL @ the "They're all terrible " segment. I would've never known. Thanks,dude.
Glad I could help xD
Since you are the Brazilian retro guy, could you answer this for me:
There seems to be some animosity against Americans within the Brazilian media (or at least in the comic department). Just about every Brazilian outlet of retro media that has an American, he is either killed, embarrassed, or serves as a device to push the story (usually in a violent manner). It could be coincidence and I could only been seeing these rare cases.
So I ask the question; was there a rivalry or dislike for Americans in the retro Brazilian media and if so why? Or is the "Wounded American" just a trope?
Well I'm not Brazilian, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt. But long story short, after reading the editors columns for Street Fighter and Megaman it felt like the Brazilian comics industry suffered from "notice me, senpai" syndrome.
It seems they wanted to become as popular and famous as Western comic books or Japanese manga. so I think that might be the main reason.
So, where's the thumbnail from? Didn't see that image anywhere in the video. Did I miss it or was it just clickbait?
Oh gawd. I can't watch beyond 0:30 mark, this is golden. I'm gonna process this video little by little.
Haha understandable
Brazilians understood one thing for sure : Cammy is so gorgeous.
heck yeah!
This is the first video I’ve watched from you and I only heard about you from my other channel’s featured videos or recommend. Have to say really good content
Thank you! Glad you liked my stuff :D
When I read the comics when I was younger with the later sf2 chapters, I legit thought it was the legit japanese versions... The art was really good and I thought the stories were fine. This is a shocker to me.
Oh yeah, the art is surprisingly good
6:01 To be fair, Zangief killing bears to train himself actually *IS* his in-game backstory, it's why he is covered in so many scars.
It's OK to see a Russian Wrestler bleed, due to all the Bear Rasslin'.
Man, I remember buying issue 3 on a whim when I was a kid and never seeing this again. I was secretly hoping the whole series would continue under Marcelo Cassaro, he was omnipresent in the Brazilian nerd market in the 90s, and as you said, his art style is a very unique mix of 80s manga art style (think early Rumiko Takahashi) with superhero comic anatomy. Too bad they rebooted the whole thing yet again.
yeah. I do wish the series had continued. It was definitely interesting
@@st1ka there was also a few issues of Street Fighter Zero under Marcelo Cassaro, but under another publisher, called Editora Trama. Though they're not officially a continuation of the Escala run, they sort of feel like being part of the same vague continuity.
16:29 To be fair, Street Fighter Alpha 2 initiated the upskirt panty shot of Sakura as many of her moves and win poses In that game featured upskirt shots. Matter of fact, that's one of the main reasons i suspect that devs love the sailor fuku, they can get away with upskirt shots on the reg just because of the way the characters naturally move.
That's a good point. I hadn't considered that
Guile has the big willy energy..... Sonic boom baby.....

This is so awesome, in Argentina we had Mortal Kombat comics. I never knew you guys had SF and Megaman stories.

This video exploded, great! And the next one in numbers is the Megaman comic one...
Man, what problems do we have?? XD
Haha right? xD
Those Brazilian comics were so bad. At least there was some cohesive art style on the street fighter one (and honestly it was as bad as the American comic it replaced - the one where Ken died in the first issue). Megaman on the other hand was 100% a disaster - and the artwork was actually done ( i believe without payment) by unprofessional artists
I feel th story was a little by the numbers but at least the art was good. The American one felt like it was just trying to be edgy for no reason

Ok, jokes apart, but just to remind the younger viewers, the Malibu art style is typical of comics in the 90's. Actually, you could find art that raw specially in DC comics. Many series like Batman, Superman and Justice League had this art style, and boy did it sting the eyes.
