Hello hello guys,
Hey I was browsing the wonderful posters at www.arcadeflyers.com and I happened upon this:
Link here: www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=flyer&db=vide...
It's the sketch designs for Urien. But look towards the middle. There's .... SETH! No not Seth Killian, Seth the main villain from SF4.
I mean its not too hard to see where they got Seth's design from. Take Urien and Gill, give em a shave and give them a ying yang belly and you're good.
A few of the kicks and poses really do resemble Seth's. I remember seeing this on Arcade Flyers a long time ago, but that was before SFIV came out. So I thought, "Oh cool yeah I guess that's nice."
Really interesting to wonder if they looked back on this design and created Seth in SFIV... or if another artist was doodling away and came up with the same bald guy idea.
On the topic of Urien and Gill, people hate on Urien's design. I used to hate it too. Too much man thong. But comparing Urien to Gill, Urien has the perfect design for counter character to Gill. Save for a few details, if they weren't part of Street Fighter, Urien would make a great anti-hero if Gill was the main villain of some manga series.
Anyway this is just something I noticed and I think it's pretty cool to see Seth waiting to be created even 6 years back.
Heiwa - Peace


Hey, yeah, that´s right! I also think the concept of Seth is at least partially based on the Shadoloo androids from SF2: the Movie, which were used to collect data from the Street Fighters.
