Assuming it's proper, fully compatible Heroclix. Otherwise why bother?

TerribleSage

As long as Ryu gets Ranged Combat Expert and Zangief can pull off a spinning piledriver. And Dhalsim has 4 range. Blanka with Poison. Hakan with Plasticity.

And Cammy gets at least three sculpts.

Don't care. No interest in it, but for those that do want, congratulations. I don't begrudge that it is being made.

10/09/2010, 22:11
I'm not overly excited about this, but if the pieces are good I may buy them.
There are many other licenses I would be more excited about, so hopefully if they're doing things like this it means they're going in the direction of getting other licenses too.

No. I still have my copy of the game, and they'll sell well, but I don't want figs.

I like that they're giving up on Actionclix for a Heroclix compatible line instead. It's the best business decision.

CowboyBebop
10/09/2010, 22:18
I would buy them even if they weren't compatible. I would probably buy them even if they didn't have clix bases. I just like SF art.

Wade Wilson
10/09/2010, 22:20
Would you, could you if they came in a frikken sweet box?

bluedragon90
10/09/2010, 22:20
I am just hoping that they start doing this with more licenses, because I think the game will be more fun if there is.

I really want to see Batman kill Light (from Death Note) "while saying I am the truly best detective not L, baka":grin::grin::grin: in a clixs match. That would make my day

I will buy them, if only in the hopes that they sell well enough to get Wizkids to make some Mortal Kombat figures.

Blanka and Honda need powers where you can just keep making close combat attacks against a figure if it is in a corner.

Wade Wilson
10/09/2010, 22:35
Would you, could you if they were Heroclix compatiable?

CowboyBebop

Glad to see so many people voting yes. I didn't expect the ya to be so high.

Heck yes, preferably with really dynamic sculpts showing the characters mid-move. Ryu mid-Hadouken would be awesome for a sculpt.

Yes, if they are compatible. I'm a big comic fan of Marvel and DC but I always wanted to see the game expand into different areas. I'd rather have Mortal Kombat figures though.

If they are not compatible I would prefer they didn't make them. I'd rather they concentrate their efforts on HeroClix.

Perplexinator

I'd love to see this expand to Capcom clix. We already have Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 out, why not?

10/10/2010, 00:51
Street Fighter Clix would be great, of course i truly enjoy this game, so i'd be happy with any 100% compatible heroclix they make. Lets get some Mortal Kombat Heroclix

TMNT
The Maxx
any and all heroclix would be welcome in my collection, as long as they are 100% compatible.

Grumpygoat
10/10/2010, 00:51
I'm curious why there's a "Don't care" option when the question is whether or not you'll buy the set. Either you will, or you won't. "Maybe" would also be acceptable, with shades of price, utility, and the like all factoring in.

Anyway, no.

b11a2
10/10/2010, 00:57
Yeah! Street Fighter are a perfect franchise for clix. Good back stories, many comic series, tons of characters and powers... and it's all about fighting! Very few 'people clix.'

Svanxx
10/10/2010, 01:03
I just told my non-heroclix playing friend about this set and he thought it was awesome news. This was a complete surprise to me, but I'm hoping this will help other Indy sets to come out, especially TMNT.

FrankERottweiler
10/10/2010, 01:44
Is this an actual set? Or is it just grist for the rumor mill?

If it's real, this might actually entice my wife to try HeroClix since she's a HUGE Street Fighter fan. It's the one game we've actually downloaded for our Wii virtual console.

And I've been playing HeroClix for longer than I've been married, all the while she's been less than interested in playing. This rumor actually got her a bit excited.

Carabas

Blanka just needs armour-piercing Poison that causes knockback.

And while we're on the subject:

I'm not from Wisconson, so I wasn't certain if I should be voting yes, because the title of the poll has the word "Ya" as the first choice.

No real interest since I don't know much about Street Fighter, but if they're compatible with the rest of HeroClix figures, I'll pick up a few boosters.

10/10/2010, 16:59

So far yes, but it depends how good the stats are. I would really like Ryu, Ken, Sagat (he should have kick butt sculpt), Vega!

Mortal. Kombat. Capital "M," capital "K." It's - it, is.

Most of the time it really isn't worth making a big deal out of spelling, particularly since so many people do it. Manchine is one of the last people who should comment on other people's spelling.

Indeed. You know, the one where the first five or so games featured characters who all had the exact same punches and kicks aside from a few special moves and half the characters were just color swaps of generic ninjas?

Street Fighter though? That's something I'll actually buy because as Manchine said, it has been the best fighting game series for as long as I can remember. Plus, they've got three (soon four) crossover games with comic heroes and villains.

X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 mean that they have four games NOW and soon to be five.

Miraclo
10/10/2010, 18:39
I voted "No," but likely should have gone with "don't care." I could see that if a particular piece/dial appeared to be a promising stand-in for an unmade or improperly made character I did want I might go for that piece. But as Streetfighter characters? No.

Clclix

I'm for it, they have even had comics, so there we go.

dariusq
10/10/2010, 19:42
Nay, but I'm optimistic about being proven wrong.

One of the things I love about Street Fighter is using skill to outclass luck. There are no dice rolls or fluke events which doesn't translate well into HC. As far as just having the characters in HC, they're about as deep as a puddle so I can do without. That's just what I get out of SF though so I'm willing to take a wait & see stance.

10/10/2010, 19:47
I'd buy it. But I, too, would rather have Mortal Kombat clix.

I will ignore the rest because that's your opinion but if they were generic ninjas they the game would be over too quick. Round One Fight.... nongeneric ninja moves..generic ninja falls over unconscious. Game over...Winner nongeneric ninja. :classic: :p

snatreaper
10/11/2010, 08:41
I think that it's great that they're reaching out to other licenses. And I'll likely get the starter depending on who's in it, how the sculpts look, and if it's fully compatible. As for boosters, I'll likely just trade for the characters I want/need, mainly because they don't finish my comic teams, and they're likely to be played as "fill-in" characters. Blanka is the only one I have to have, although there are others that I would like, they're not must haves for me.

Now if this were Soul Caliber, Darkstalkers, or even Time Killers (Yeah Right!), then I might have a harder time resisting.

songwriterz
10/11/2010, 08:56
I voted yes, but with one really huge caveat. (And yes, most people agree that my caveat is rather large.)

I will only be buying this set if, indeed, it really is 100% compatible with Heroclix. If not, I will not buy.

Well then you should be in luck. If wizkids does things right then their will be a fill in figure for Bruce Lee. That alone is worth the whole set. :)

I'm a "meh".

I see Street Fighter Clix as the new Wizkids' version of Indy Clix. I am not holidng my breath for quick sales (though I could easily be proven wrong), and a one-shot attempt.

I personally do not see them as having the same pull and fanbase as Super Heros, and I'm a die hard gammer at heart.

Just my two-cents.

Darth Sabre
10/11/2010, 17:38
Power to those that do, but they are not for me. I am comitted to collecting figures for teams that I will run, based on comic accuracy. These figures won't fit my strict criteria for such, since I never read Street Fighter comics and was a casual player of the video game, outside of playing with my kids.

GrimlockX
10/11/2010, 18:21
As long as they're fully compatible, then absolutely. MvC2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and don't get me started on the upcoming sequel......:laugh:

Have they been confirmed as 100% compatible with regular Heroclix? If not, then I don't have enough information to vote in this poll.

If they are 100% compatible, sure. They have super powers, they have a comic, they've even crossed over with Marvel. I'd give 'em a go. I'd rather have Mortal Kombat, but I used to play both games, and if it's super characters who have been in the comics, I'm with it.

And if it's placed under the Indy Heroclix banner, potentially giving more momentum to the red-headed stepchild of Heroclix? HECK yeah! More chances at good Indy supers characters will DEFINITELY get my vote!

The Metallica clix have the Heroclix label too, and we have been told they are NOT compatible. They've also put a couple of their new stand-alone games under the Heroclix label, right? At this point, "Heroclix" does not equal "100% compatible". When we know for sure, I'll vote (and make financial plans accordingly if it's really Heroclix ;)).

If they ever do Resident Evil Clix it would probably work better as HorrorClix.

Heck, many of the figs that have already been produced in HorrorClix are basic knock-offs of Resident Evil.

I'd at least like to see these like the BPRD set.

If it makes some players happy and makes WK some $$, then I'll support it with some reservation. I don't see myself putting any money into it though. Unless the sculpts really impress me.

Not interested in the slightest, really. I play the game because it is comic-based, and while there have been Street Fighter comics, it is and remains a video game franchise. I guess I'm kind of a purist, but I think too many non-comics additions to the game could potentially water it down and change the nature of the game I love.

That said, it's in the pipeline and that's that, so no whining here. And, all y'all are pretty stoked on it, so I'm glad for my fellow 'clixers in that respect.

Ironically, if anything Streetfighter clix should be more pure. Heroclix and the Streetfighter games both concentrate solely on superpowered characters in weird costumes beating eachother up, at the lmost complete expense of plot.

Face it, Heroclix is closer to a beat'em up game than it is to a superhero comic.

That movie came on the channel that I was watching one day. For about the first half hour or so I was thinking, "This isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be."

Then the jewelry store scene happened. And it just got worse as it went along.

Ugh.

But, even considering all that, I don't ever remember someone saying that they would ban the fig or refuse to play in tournaments if she was legal.

So, I guess the basic argument of the "Other Side" is that characters in HeroClix must have appeared in a Comic Book before appearing anywhere else.

This "comic book only" argument is wafer thin.

I really don't think so. While I support SF Clix, it's only because they're essentially supers who actually HAVE had their own comic.

It always surprises me when folks bring up comic book characters in video games and try to QED that into an assumption that video game characters fit naturally in a comic book character game. That's REALLY faulty logic - all you're showing is that many video game geeks like comic book characters.

I really love Rampage, Madden games, and Pac Man. None of those video game properties should be in clix. I know some will disagree, but I also feel that way about video games like HALO - great video game but if I want to play it I'll borrow my buddy's PS3.

Gods be praised! I need some back-up! :grin:

Actually, I voted "Yes". Sorry if that wasn't clear from my earlier posts. It's 100% compatible, it's a set of supers with their own comic...yeah, I'm in.

Will I break the bank to buy it? No, but I'll probably pick up a few characters. The only way I REALLY get excited about it is if they tie it into Indy Clix and it paves the way for more Indy comic characters. It seems a natural fit to revive that Heroclix franchise (and to be honest these characters are actually more compelling to me than half of the ones included in the first Indy Clix set). Bring back Indy Clix! Give me more Invincible and other Image properties as Clix, NECAWK!

Please? :)

So, I guess the basic argument of the "Other Side" is that characters in HeroClix must have appeared in a Comic Book before appearing anywhere else.

Here is the address to send all your Harley Quinn Clix:

I really don't think so. While I support SF Clix, it's only because they're essentially supers who actually HAVE had their own comic.

It always surprises me when folks bring up comic book characters in video games and try to QED that into an assumption that video game characters fit naturally in a comic book character game. That's REALLY faulty logic - all you're showing is that many video game geeks like comic book characters.

I really love Rampage, Madden games, and Pac Man. None of those video game properties should be in clix. I know some will disagree, but I also feel that way about video games like HALO - great video game but if I want to play it I'll borrow my buddy's PS3.

That movie was totally worth it, just to watch Halle Berry run around in a catsuit for a couple hours.

It's no less faulty logic than the logic that precludes characters from Clix based on the fact that they didn't have their own comic before they had their own video game, television show or movie. And that was really my point all along.

I agree that not every video game should be in Clix, but banning figures that you don't like because they aren't 'pure comic' enough is a step too far.

WOW! Your buddy must have the best PS3 on the planet! What did he download to allow him to play XBOX games on PS3??

I don't get Halle Berry. She was horrible as Storm. I don't care how attractive someone is (not that I think she's all that attractive) wooden 'acting' is a turn off.

Nice catch.

Are there any others that you can think of?

This I agree with. Your previous statements, not so much.

Apparently he got some kind of converter that lets him do it. I'd have to borrow that too.

Big yay. Awesome characters who have a history of fighting Marvel + Bringing in new players.

Normally I would be more pessimistic about new players, but I know someone in real life who's buying clix because of that.

SF was THE WRONG fighting series to pick. Street Fighter is the reason the Epic Battles Card Game died. It would have been a smarter idea to go with Mortal Kombat for the following reasons.

1) SF Fans will be disappointed to find they can't button-mash heroclix.

2) MK had the better story, characters, moves, games

3) If made correctly, the MK characters would be more even in battle with the MARVEL/DC/Indy opponents

4) More opportunities for piece remakes (costume change, power shifts)

5) I can't mod a Shokan to save my life. Trying to glue the two extra arms has been Hell on the brain. (Tried using Awesome Andy to make Goro. Go ahead, ask if it worked...)

Street Fighter Clix will be Awesome! SF has two running comic book series, The Street Fighters have had cross-overs In Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter vs X-men, and Street Fighters vs Marvel Super Heros. They deserve clix! I Can't wait to have Guile and Captain America on the same board. I wonder If there going to include characters from Alpha, Third Strike, and SSF4? I would love to see an Ibuki piece. And hopefully this paves the way for more video game Clix, fingers crossed for Metal Gear Solid, lol!

MK opponents actually take some strategy to beat. M.Bison is statistically the easiest end boss in fighting games.

And having played both, I would say that MK has a much higher "just memorise all the combos" factor than Streetfighter.

Thats not the case a good explain of a really hard bison is street fighter alpha 3 bison. he was hard and i mean hard. his psycho cruncher is cheap and unfair. u cant jump block it or crotch block it. and even when u mid block it takes away a good chunk of damage.

lol gr8 now i summoned my inner geek :P

Booyah for those who want them made. Personally I've never been a fighting game fan but if this leads the way to other game properties being clixed then I'm all for it.

Here's hoping for RPG Clix.

Marvel and DC have way too much to offer in unmade character selection before I need to see this show up on shelves.

There are all kinds of things that I would rather see in Clix before this stuff.

But, I'm pretty certain that it doesn't work like that.

The fact that we're getting Street Fighter Clix doesn't mean that I'm missing out on all those Justice League Unlimited characters. They aren't replacing the figs that I want with these.

Actually, it may very well be that SF Clix will keep the company growing, expand the fanbase and keep the line viable enough that someday I might see the stuff I've been waiting to have.

This is sarcasm, right? I understand liking MK for nostalgia or for the flashy fatalities, but the old games are pretty much unplayable. Even the newer ones are mediocre. They're also much more button mash friendly that Street Fighter.

I feel like I just got trolled.

I have an equal amount of affection for both series.

At first I didn't like MK. The anime design in SF won out over the scanned, B-Movie, actors from MK.

The MK movie changed all that. I love the darn thing. The SF movie? Well, you know. . .

My friends and I have been talking about Street Fighter clixs for a long time. It's happening!! I'm just curious to know if they are going to do something similar to the Watchmen set.
