Just like we didn’t need a robot or a mutant or a clone whatever thing Twelve was in SF3.
Some people are still bugged about them.
But a gorilla… why don’t know why but it wouldn’t bother me.
Maybe because gorillas are actually aggressive and able to fight? I mean, it’s easier to believe them and take them seriously than a panda or a kangaroo…
Also, this Neo Shadaloo’s gorilla is probably an experiment and might have enhanced, maybe even human-like, intelligence.
I don’t like the Gorilla but I’m with you here DS were supposed to be an overpowered character and there backstory to be merge in SF is confusing and to convoluted.
Mind that if DS is merge into SF all of there so called supernatural elements and things that happened in the past should probably affect the future possibilities.
Xkira alone and with such bullshit vagueness hold basically zero weight
Now, if Sir Arthur was involved my attention would have been higher
Btw a VERY unexpected (at least for me) thing is that during an interview a capcom guy said S5 will fill the story of some characters, including BYRON
Tbh i will not like him as Sambo rep though, specially if he’s the the reason i did’ nt got Abel in SFV
Demitri was my favourite darkstalker by far, yet NOTHING from DS should ever touch SF canon wise
They should stay completely separated universes
Costumes are ok, because it’s like halloween or some shit
But canon fuck that
Tbh SFV already had worse than the gorilla, even if tbh will prefer Knife guy ever from NS squad
Would turn Poison into a woman lol
tbh i ever thought Blanka already filled the role of “beast” even he’s obviously more the savage man archetype
Btw as said in the past the idea of a big af gorilla (specially if a lab-modified one) being a SF level treat able to fight with best martial artists in the world is not that far stretch
Example in SFV we seen Mika was unable to submit the brown bear, just to stop him for a moment (Gief had to step in and throw it away)
He did guess alot of things. He even hinted byron, evil ryu, soki from onimusha, a ancestor, viper and tons of crap he even claimed Alex Valle character request as his leak. It’s an obvious smart guessing not a real. If he gets 2 out of 10 claims it’s by chance. He change last minute for Seth and Gill but initially it wasn’t on his radar.
They tag along together. And they talk about Season “V” but they are proven false that everything they talk in development progress of characters were untrue. So the arthur guy went into silent lol.
Obviously also Rose and Oro was a new addition because of the pandemic situation not something that was already done and delayed like xkira and arthur that are both frauds used claimed.
On the bright side if you hope for Allen/Pullum, FEXL ruined their designs less than what they did on many others
Actually Pullum FEXL one is better than the SFEX second version (SFEX first version shit all over both though), rare case of FEXL improving a design
Now, what they did to C.Jack, Rosso, D.Dark and Hayate
Whats interesting about Pullum is her name/move names\music etc everything is actually more persian/Iranian than saudi as they official listed. They would do well to make her officially persian IMO. (And No thats not the same as Arab for those who didnt know)
I just wanted it because of CVS2 nostalgia. Since she would be a guest character like other guest character and not a canon character. So it doesn’t really that matter to find strong logic on her appearance
