The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Geegus was an OK boss for me. He’s also the first fighting game character with the ability to turn into other people.
Eat your heart out Twelve.

I was disappointed when I saw that he relies exclusively on this ability, and that he doesn’t have any attacks of his own. That made him feel like a gimmick boss with no real substance. But I guess it was impressive back then.

That guy from the manhua was Geegus with hair lol.

I had planned to post my concepts for “Gill’s Triumvirate”. The other two fighters, besides Kolin, that would make up Gill’s elite inner circle. I also planned to post one for Urien’s single personal guard/subordinate as well but…

I did manage recall one of my concepts. Not the most ambitious of the three, but it’s something guess.

V-Reversal:

Sliding Justice – F+KKK: Orfiel executes a quick sliding kick that takes his opponent off their feet and places him behind them

V-Skill:

Justice Mirror – MP+MK: Orfiel’s left forearm glows and strikes upward with a quick uppercut. This attack deflects projectile attack back at his opponents. This is also a physical attack that can be combed into. -6 on block. While reflecting his opponent’s projectile, he can cancel into his Justice Edge or Sweeping Justice Edge (High or Low Project Attacks) to increase the V-Gauge he builds and the damage dealt to the opposition.

V-Trigger:

Light of Rejuvenation – HP+HK: The blue gem on Orfiel’s forehead glows white and he releases restorative energy to heal his injuries. Grants 150 points of Gray Life and triples his gray life regeneration. 3-Bar V-Trigger

Specials:

Justice Edge-QCF+P: Orfiel pulls back his right arm as it glows brightly white and quickly swipes it forward. Generating a white chest high blade like projectile that travels horizontally at his opponent. (Resembles ki generated by Alex’s Flash Chop). Button strength determines the speed of the projectile. All projectiles startup and recovery relatively quickly. (LP –fastest startup, travel speed, but slowest recovery: MP – slower startup, moderate travel speed, faster recovery: HP- slowest startup, slowest travel speed, faster recovery) The recovery speed of HP Justice Edge allows the player to follow behind the projectile for mix ups and pressure.

Sweeping Justice Edge –QCF+K: Orfiel crouches down as his back leg glows white, performs a sweep attack that generates an ankle level white bladed projectile. Button strength determines the speed of the projectile. Startup and recovery speeds are slower than Justice Edge. (LK –fastest startup, travel speed, but slowest recovery: MK – slower startup, moderate travel speed, faster recovery: HK- slowest startup, slowest travel speed, faster recovery) The recovery speed of HP Justice Edge allows the player to follow behind the projectile for mix ups and pressure.

Divine Cutter – HCB+K: (Anti Air) Orfiel spins his back to his foe and executes a rising back somersault kick. LK (2 hits fastest startup, no invincibility, juggles) MK (slower start up, upper body invincibility from frame 3, full projectile invincibility, no juggle properties, HK (slowest startup, only projectile invincible from frame 3, biggest damage, juggles) EX has LK startup, full invincibility, and juggles

Divine Guillotine – QCB+K: (in air) Orfiel executes a downward somersault kick. LK goes straight down, MK has slight horizontal movement (half sweep range, HK has the most horizontal movement (sweep range) EX causes a ground bounce, angle changes based on the two buttons pressed

Divine Light – QCB+P: Orfiel glows white and disappears from view. Re-appearing in one of three different positions depending on the button pressed. LP (He
reappears in the same place) MP (He appears outside of sweep distance in front of his opponent) HP (He appears outside of sweep range behind his opponent)

Critical Art:

Divine Ascension – HCFx2+K: Orfiel combines his two favorite techniques into one powerful attack. He strikes with an incredibly powerful Divine Cutter that generates a massive vertical Justice Edge that carries his opponent high into the air. They then plummet to the ground taking additional damage when they land.

Reasons to be SFV:
Orfiel believes wholeheartedly that Gill’s leadership is the only thing that will lead to a just world. He views Gill as a selfless leader that will do what is necessary for the good of the world. He suspects that Urien is seeking to usurp his brother for his own personal game. Orfiel will ensure that Urien’s scheming will not harm Gill.

Side Note:

-Orfiel is the name of the Archangel that guards the Throne of God.
-He is the only member of Gill’s triumvirate with a jeweled forehead
-Is said to be Kolin’s brother, although Urien doubts this
-He is a member of Gill’s Triumvirate which is made of up of the The Phantasm of Ice, Spectre of Fire, and Herald of Light. Each member was bestowed an aspect of Gill’s power. Orfiel was bestowed with Gill’s rejuvenating light.

I like Seth for something else of a character not just another simple world domination or someone that strive to be known as the strongest, He brings in a new personality to SF universe like FANG, Seth is more into Ultron and Cell like character because of his motivation rather than empty and menacing that gone mad or out of control that can be done to monitor Cyborg but it’s interesting towards an advanced version of twelve and eleven. I remember some mugen guys re-imagined it to be thirteen, but using abyss as a template for a versus type mugen compilation project.

Dio from WH was something exciting too, I just hope Capcom but or a symbiotic type, nano machine character, something like A.M.A.Z.O from DC’s Justice league cartoons an interesting characters to beat and overcome without the need of too much character build up rather than a character rise from emptiness and purpose in a vague sense not motivated by power, control and strength. That can be done towards twelve and eleven but they are more attached towards Secret Society that would overshadow character.

So the direction should be likeness a Pinocchio similar to those of Astroboy, Arale or Alisa Bosconovitch a character that is made out from positive perspective, intentions and emotion like love and fond memories that is put on with great handwork, trust, patience, passion and dedication rather than another built upon with just brilliance and fortune, not also one another that is an assistant or a weapon of destruction that can be assumed to have a self destruct or shutdown in cased of future rebellion. Something that is bestowed to have great power and strength to protect himself and those that he love but confused by the chaotic means from men that is experience, influenced and explored from uncontrollable situation and circumstances like somewhat with Chappie.

You know, after going over Nash’s story, I started thinking about the new power he’s acquired from Gill. What exactly is it? Based on what we saw in Ryu’s story, Nash’s power drew Ryu to him, and even got a reaction out of his Satsui no Hado. It also appeared to have a reaction around Abel when he was going berserk. Despite that, we still don’t know much about it.

It doesn’t appear to be an **elemental **upgrade, but rather an augmentation of his original abilities with some additional powers.

Nash can now absorb projectiles, which seemed to be a surprise to him:

Kinda reminds me of Android #19’s absorption:

Since Nash was the one the Secret Society engineered to carry out Bison’s defeat (and surely they knew Bison wielded the seemingly limitless Psycho Power), it makes sense for them to give him an ability like this. With the Bullet Clear, he’d be able to absorb Psycho Power, which would logically give him a better chance against Bison. Nash was able to eliminate the Psycho Power influence from Abel completely, showing that it’s more than a simple projectile absorbing technique. You have a guy that can create an electric field that reflects projectiles, so the idea of absorbing power being one of the Secret Society’s techniques seems just as likely.

His new Tragedy Assault consists of him unleashing the same blueish power into his opponent after slamming them down:

This seems to be more of a technique establishing Nash’s new brutal way of fighting, if anything.

Last but not least, Sonic Move:

Spoiler

http://i.imgur.com/mcfLcVD.gif

Nash was considered an asset to the Secret Society because of his thirst for revenge and his fighting ability. It being a “Sonic” based attack leads me to believe it might’ve been something he was capable of doing before being revived. Probably not to the **same **extent, but Nash moving quick enough to the point where he appears to vanish isn’t that shocking. I could see Gill’s power making it far more effective.

When I saw Kolin’s quote to Nash the other day, I thought it was a bit odd how she’d regard him as a coward that went into hiding. So I looked back on the outburst she had on Nash:

Spoiler

http://i.imgur.com/GLWTjZb.png

She assumed Nash was beginning to get scared at the idea of challenging Bison, so the win quote actually makes a lot of sense.

I still like the idea of Nash being regarded as the ultimate weapon to take down Bison even though he didn’t succeed. That’s just my quick analysis on Nash and his new abilities.

Real, or fake?

Tbh Rosso copyright did’nt stopped him to be the protagonist of Redline, a capcom movie where Rosso bang hot girls, win races and stomp aliens

Notice REDline, red = rosso

Hopefully Capcom will give him the Redline as Premium alt

ps: notice that Sagat is in the movie too, wich explain him not be in first two seasons of SFV

#V.RossoBless

I remember that time between SFEX2plus and SFEX3 that Mastadons and Sabertooths attacked V.Rosso, they was both listed as extinct species after that

This got buried when we were talking about Superman, but anyone wanna weigh in?

Don’t worry @Cestus we are going to get you some help buddy :wink:

Is that a… dick with a condom on?

It’s real. That happens when a female character goes into the left area of Guy’s SFA2 stage.

I like how Jessica hits the shit out of Cody and goes back to holding him as if nothing happened. No wonder Cody’s such a screwed up individual…

I never noticed this in all my yrs playing Alpha 2. So many little gems in these classic games.

Hell that’s probably why the relationship lasted so long. She didn’t put up with his bullshit and slugged him. Cody probably liked that about her.

@Cestus

hey guys what website do you use as video to GIF maker without overlay text/logo on the GIF?

Or he is the offspring of an American stationed in Germany and a German mother and would enjoy dual citizenship at birth if born under those circumstances. Further explaining his decision to join the US military.

I… I can’t believe it. THIS was actually considered to be Street Fighter V at some point before they decided to keep using a more cartoonish approach to the visuals

WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS! WTF

Wow. That’s really going the extra mile.

A shame Alpha 2/3 never received a re release like SF2 and 3 did for XBox Live…

Well its like i said, originally he’s just described as a German who loves America so much as to call it his home. Now its he’s a German descendant so it could be either what you mentioned or he’s just an American with German heritage. It’s whatever really not really a big deal.

Yup, we went over that in early pages of the thread. That pic is actually a Ryu who has healed from being Evil Ryu in SSF4. His arm tattoo and scar would’ve glowed red as well to show this. It doesn’t really look like SF tho, more like Tekken to me.

Yea there were a lot of details like this in the game actually. They were planning on an HD rerelease but SF2 ended up being the project they chose to work on.

Cool question

I think all the one involved in pro wrestling have some popularity, specially because it’s a mainstream show and not a niche fight sport (even if in Capcom world is real)

-Gief, Mika, Alex, Hugo, Poison
-Haggar not only was a pro wrestler but also the Mayor of MC

After these, popular martial artist list is:

-Dudley, because unlike usual martial arts, everybody know the boxing HW Champ… Balrog too, IF in sf he ever reached Tyson level of popularity
-Fei Long being Bruce Lee is not only the founder of SF’s jet kune do, but also a popular actor
-DeeJay iirc aside being a kickboxing Champ (wich itself is niche) is also a popular singer, like dat Sean Paul money to say bdabambam

More local/niche celebrities

-Vega was likely super popular in Spain as the best matador and a very rich/elite figure
-Sagat was likely a national hero in Thailand, because MT is the real deal there. Also Adon on a minor level
-The 7 Legandary Yoga Masters (with Dhalsim being one of them) are likely very popular in SF India
-Nash was the most famous USA Martial Arts Champ, and in the army world he’s likely seen as a legend/hero
-Even if inferior to Nash, Ken as USA Champ he’s likely more famous
-In martial arts world many SFers are somehow known figures, with in particular Gen, Oro and Akuma having reached some legendary status

Known on governments/public level

-Bison is considered as the #1 terrorist of the world as was OBL, maybe even a dangerous Dictator as that North Korea guy. Specially after ASF events
-Urien is known at least on some level, as C.Viper know him (and probably something about Illuminati)
-Seth was probably known as Urien
-Gill i think managed to be still unknown outside Illuminati, but governments know Illuminati existence
-Q is a walking X-file, twelves on minor level too
-Nash, Guile, Chun, Cammy, C.Viper are known figures for merits on the field
-Karin being the current leader of the economic empire of Kanzukis is known too

Thank Gods is’nt happened

Anime/cartoon style is vital for them to traslate capcom’s SF chara design ingame

I’m curious to see how SFers will look with a bit more realistic vibe in TKvsSF if the game ever get released, but that’s it

SFV could have way better aesthetic, but the problem is’nt the lack of realism lol… actually most of SFV visual problems are about them try to take distance from anime aesthetic, generating hybrid monsters as Ken or Alex

ps: but i want this stage
