SFV Lounge: Cammy at the Falken bottom, Makoto is in final phases, Leo Alex is broken

Most of the fascinating parts of the lore are things that happened outside of the games.

Stuff like Cammy assassinating a Prime Minister in Greece (Alpha 3 stage backstory) while he’s on vacation with family, Akuma saving the child from falling to his doom in his cave (Alpha 3), Nash jacking up Shadaloo dealers after coming across their coke supply in Alpha 1, Shadaloo trying to recruit Sakura and Gen (Alpha 2) to use for their sinister plans. Just a lot of cool stuff that were only published in guides.

Im not sure that follows.

You can pretty much describe everything about all the SF characters in two words or less. They are all cartoons with almost no dept beyond their appearances.

4404

Character depth and lore has never been that deep imo. I’m just going by what’s revealed about the girls that would make me want to hang out with them. Only thing Chun and I have in common that I know of are sweet tooths and we both like kicks.

4405

Cody likes doing nothing and lazing around so I could prolly chill with him for a while

4406

Anyway SF5 as story goes is a low point.
Chun Li story mode: I was reckless when I was young but I met Charlie and Guile I understood the error of my way
Also Chun li: is reckless throughout ASF and is nearly killed for it.

And beating people up.

He would either knock your head off Johnny Cage style, or ignore you.

That’s a core problem with SF characters and a worn out anime trope is that Almost every character has to have “loves fighting” as a motivation.

Think Goku, but with less depth.

Except Sim who is a “pacifist” lol

4409

Wears skulls of his victims around his neck, knows way to much about battle god/thing necalli.

The fact that he calls his style “Yoga” should tell you that Sim is full of shit.

4410

The way he fights in these games makes me feel like he’s a damn bully :angry:

4411

It’s probably a wiki thing but I remember reading that Sims flames are not real and the damage they do it just fear or something. Thought that was neat.

SF6 needs to be a call back to the Alpha series and tell whatever story it has through special match specific intros, outros, and win quotes.

4414

I just hope they go for alpha 4 instead of doing SF6

Capcom just needs to not be lazy with it. SF5 was a rough idea that didn’t really work out. So just do the opposite of that next time.

4416

Did you ever see the series An Idiot Abroad? There’s an episode where he visits actual yoga masters in India, and short of breathing fire Dhalsim totally makes sense after seeing them.

4417

Agree This is where Chun grow later when she did not choose to fight Bison in the final moments of ASF, but go to the likes of Fang to protect the little girl instead.

4418

Can we please get some progress on the post SF3 story? We’ve been stuck at the end of Third Strike for like what, 15-20 years now? No more of these damn prequels. If they really are cornered story wise with SF3 just retcon the shit like they do everything else and keep it pushing.

4419

We really need Final Round to have something if we’re talking about which characters we would hang out with this long.

By the way, clear answer is Rashid.

No, but I’m confident in saying they don’t, teleport, fly, breathe fireballs, have stretchy limbs, or really do anything sim does outside of being flexible.

I mean if that is how you’re gonna be Ryu doesn’t know Karate
