Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

Or as seth from street fighter 4 said it so well :
“… The poor seek riches, the ugly; beauty, we compare ourselves to others and seek to cover our own inadequacies to find peace of mind. The mere existence of those who are better than us becomes intolerable. We fight in retaliation! if beauty is not enough, we use money. If money does not work, we resort to voilence! This energy is what powers our world! It is essential! All i seek is to help this natural process along! This destructive force begotten from confect! This power that everyone lusts for, i will spread it over the world in but a touch! It is like a well that can never run dry! A precious mineral flowing from an inexhaustable mine! This power will be mine!”

… Followed by ryu’s stupid “no you” response

Tangential… Do you ever think it’s kind of bizzare that we have instances of a fictional character having infamous lines or quotes but in actuality a different human wrote it who and will often not recieve any credit. Not at all a criticism, just an odd thought. Sorry for the diversion.

I do think its bizar, but the writer ( or in this case probably translator, i need to lookup the original japanese lines) knew full well what seth is about and what his goals are and nailed it so well. Props to that damn writer and/or translator. Also the voice actor, who delivered the lines perfectly. The raising of his voice, it slowly getting more and more agressive. Perfect.
