I have been getting that 2100d connection error message for the last 2 hours or so, despite my internet being generally fine (Im on XBL right now playing Overwatch). Are the SFV servers usually garbage, or is it more likely something at my end?

A lot of streetfighter characters are based on someone else, either real or fictional:
Ken: Joe Lewis, karate practitioner
Sagat: Sagat Petchyindee, muay thai legend
Zangief: Victor Zangief, wrestler
Balrog: Mike Tyson
M.Bison: Yasunori Kato, fictional villain
Guile: Stroheim from Jojos
Rose: Lisa Lisa from Jojos (literally identical)
Dudley: Chris Eubank, boxer
Fei Long: Bruce Lee
Eagle: Freddy Mercury
Dee Jay: Billy Blanks
Abel: Fedor Emilianenko, sambo wrestler, MMA star
Yun/Yang: Gundam Wing characters
Alex: Hulk Hogan
Cammy: Gally from Gunm/Battle Angel Alita (check out the pout and cannon drill)
Dhalsim: Indian yogi from 'master of the flying guillotine'
Q: robot detective K
There's a bunch more I'm forgetting.
I played him more than once and I guess he was just messing around with different characters. No Vega in sight.

Alex is also inspired by Axl Rose.
He was originally based on a henchman from the Bruce Lee's film Fist of Fury until he was brought back for CvS2 where they gave him an ascot and made all of his quotes Queen references.
Dan is famously a pastiche of like four Art of Fighting characters.
Yun And Yang might also be based on a real guy
Like seriously, look at this old video look at his hair and shoes look at this man.
The yang parts come up with certain images and video with his hair down, but especially for yang, this dude is real and was active and dressed how he dressed before SF3 was out by at least 2-3 years

As someone who's only knowledge of Jojo is ZA WARUDO and the fact that Daigo likes it, what's the show about?
It's a multi-generational story following the Joestar lineage & their fights with, well, tons of bizarre shit. In just Parts 1-4 alone, they go from a vampire to immortal pillar men to the previous vampire to a serial killer. It's one of those things where you need to go in blind, you'll thank me later. The best part of JoJo's is that even if you don't like one part, the next part may be to your liking since it's so radically different from the previous one (Ex: If you don't like Part 1, you may adore Part 2). Though if you ask me, while Part 1 is enjoyable, Part 2 (which starts in Episode 10 of the first season) is really when JoJo's comes into its own. Trust me, it's hard enough to explain it. You just have to watch it (or read the manga) to understand.
uh... a lot. There are parts, all the parts are about different things. Ussually people fighting.
Its characterized by the inspired fahsion-esque posing of the characters insane outfits and abilities these characters have. I could give you a brief one line about what each part is about... but jojo is the type of thing where that doesn't actively explain the insanity that is jojo and you need to either read the manga or watch the anime yourself

Huh sounds cool. Is it full blown manga or is there a show or anime that I can watch?
First two parts are about Vampires and then it goes to these things called Stands which are basically Personas if you are familiar with that series.
It's a manga & an anime. The manga is currently on Part 8. As for the anime, the Japanese version is almost done with Part 4 (Diamond is Unbreakable), while Toonami is about half-way through Part 1's (Phantom Blood) English dub (it's only 9 episodes, while Part 2, Battle Tendency, takes up Episodes 10-26 of Season 1). You can pick which one you want to follow, but the anime adaptation is fantastic overall.
Its been a manga for over a decade, its seperated into parts.
The manga is up to part 8
The current anime adaptation has only made it to part 4

I don't think I'll be able to read the manga so I'll probably watch the anime from the start since I don't mind Japanese dubs. Thanks for the info everyone.
Following it with Toonami is alright if you want to start from the beginning, unless you prefer to watch your anime subbed.
Straight up, the only anime i've watched* and i highly recommend it.
Has it all: Awesome characters, Awesome fights and Awesome poses.
It's a huge influence for fighting game developers, KOF's Benimaru is based on Polnareff from JOJO's
*I watched Dragonabll and Caballeros del Zodiaco when i was a kid but i didnt knew it was "anime"
Everything is like from JoJo and HNK.
Anyway besides Benimaru, you have Gill / Necalli / Urien, Juri, Guile, Rose, etc., etc...

I give Jojo a strong recommendation as well, and it's the only anime I've ever gotten into. It definitely has its own special, unique appeal, to say the least. There's a ton of scenes I wanna mention, but it's best to just let people go in as blind as possible.
I'd also like to give a nod to the dub. I know a lot of anime fans swear by subs, but the dub is quality and made Jojo a lot more entertaining to me than it likely would have been otherwise.
This. The dub's actually better than I expected it to be, & the little we've heard of Part 3's dub sounds great.

Dang, you guys are really confusing me lol.
I'd honestly prefer an English dub but I don't think I'll have the fortitude to wait one week per episode if I do end up liking the show which from all that you guys have said, seems almost certain.
EDIT: They're eventually gonna air all the parts in the dubbed version right? Cause if that's the case then what the hell, I'll watch the dub.

How do we trust the opinion of someone who denies the greatness of Star Wars? Blasphemer in our midst!

Until the day I die, I will never understand how this photo occurred
The only thing I can possibly fathom is that Elena is too nice for Akuma, The Ultimate Hater, to be mean to
I only tell truths
Elena kept tripping him and healing into infinity so he gave up.
I come to bargain for a selfie, Akuma.

oh my god
Eh, I'm of the opinion that the show doesn't become Jojo until Stands are introduced. Of course, I started with the old OVAs in the early 2000s so I was only vaguely aware of the first two parts as being Jojo before Jojo developed the concept that defines the series.
All of Season 1, which contains Parts 1 & 2, has already been dubbed by Warner Bros. last year. Viz Media, who has since taken the distribution & dubbing rights for the JoJo anime, also confirmed that Parts 3 & 4 will be dubbed, with Part 3's dub currently being in production. So yeah, you can count on all of JoJo being dubbed. As mentioned earlier, JoJo is also on Toonami (right after DBZ Kai), so you can follow the show there if you want to watch the dub.
/dead
thats how she pays for her travels around the world
Stands are great but it also creates a problem where half the episodes feel like filler since you get a new jobber every single episode. Story barely progresses during the first season of Part 3 and then you get the most disappointing ending in the Part 3 finale. Part 4 seems to be okay but its not Part 2 levels of good.
I think part 4 is levels above 2, part 6 too. 7 is the best though

Do you guys think there is any chance Capcom will give us some in game DLC sales for Black Friday? I really want a few stages, but they're a bit expensive to buy now.
