The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Rolento is our Heidern

In design, yes, but not in concept. They look a lot alike, but other than being military men, I can’t see any more similarities.

False equivalency. Yes, Ansatsuken isn’t an * real* martial arts, it’s a generic umbrella term which literally means “killing art”. Anything in the fighting world can be designated a “killing art” just as long as its designed to kill.

Senjutsu is all around based on esoteric magic, and it isn’t a fighting style nor is it based on one. Sage arts are usually based on things like ki or energy manipulation which pretty much everyone in SF knows about.

Everyone can designate their art an Ansatsuken if they’ve designed techniques around it to kill, and any techniques which use ki energy is Senjutsu.

Both are life-long military men devoted to creating a safe world through the judicious application of their personal, military mercenary-force.

#RolentoDidNothingWrong

Heidern is basically guile


Yes but still Senjutsu is listed as Oro’s fighting style, pretty much as Dhalsim have Yoga as his fighting style or Rashid have fucking Parkour lol

At least in Oro’s case he got a traditional martial arts base (from when was younger before the whole sennin hermit stuff) not mentioned in the profile at the “fighting style” voice, probably old school Ju Jitsu or maybe Ninjutsu

I love Heidern being a father to his men, type of military leader, and if they draw from a bit of that for Byron, it could be a nice touch.

YES!!! Before SF4 gave him his first english voice, I always pictured him sounding just like that! Dude’s just too fun

Sound something that will look cool but at same time “too urban” compared to what i got in mind as SF design, so why i gave a try to Hippie Remy from Capcom sketches or the savate theme
I mean it will look cool but in a KoF way more than SF one
 wich does’nt depend from your suggestion, but more on Remy itself being essentially “wrong” as SF design
 he does’nt rep his martial art, his nationality, a famous fighter/figure or some crazy iconic culture/style.
Ironically the most distictive trait of him was just have green hair, wich probably was the detail i liked less lol

Essentially i think they just missed on purpose the boat of take theyr first good idea with Hippie-Remy and the whole hating fighters thing, it will have been SF iconic with an adeguate moveset to support it, instead they gone for something they surely thought more marketable (ironic everybody hate him lol) that was there as “we can KoF too!” lol

Too keep that line at this point i prefer just CFAS Rook (both him and D.D. have an heavy SNK wannabism) who was basically a better designed Remy with more originality/uniqueness without resort to the green hair gimmick

Agree on hating the red in him lol, ever thought color scheme was the worst part of his already not stellar design, but i keept some link to it anyway to don’t go to much on my way or too far from original source (or first move was remove these damn green hair)

Thanks to the suggestion btw, i appreciated it and was well thought

Ok, i will edit Oro next, even if i already like the simplicity of his current design, but can be fun material

About Dan i got a kinda joke edit trasformation into Gouken, but i can’t find it lol

Heindern is Big Boss.

Rolento is like a goofy parody of Big Boss.

You’re absolutely right that Remy’s design is not really functional for classic SF. For nuSF including 5? Eh. Could work. Current designs are weaker now though in general so that’s less a compliment to Remy and more an indictment of current designs.

I absolutely agree that Rook is a much stronger design. Again, it’s not very SF-traditional but it’s a strong, striking design in general.

Nah Guile is apparently both more popular and has appeared in more games for his franchise. Wasn’t Kim supposed to be his direct comparison in Capcom vs. SNK games?

In the first crossover (SNK Vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium), Leona was his rival. Pretty good pairing.

I don’t think he had one in the Capcom Vs SNK games, though. In fact, unlike MotM, there were lots of characters that ended up not having rivals.

Not sure if it counts, but he has a special intro with Rugal where he slices a statue of himself in half with a sonic boom.

Yeah, I always liked that one.

I believe that’s the only special intro Guile has. Surprised that he doesn’t have one with Bison.

Basically Rook had the whole feather/angel theme that supported well his design making his aesthetic interessing and his acrobatic flying kick style fitting, when you achieve that everything flow nicely. Also had D.D. as visual opposite, wich helped a lot too

They had that brute/devil/punches/red energy vs elegant/angel/kicks/azure energy thing going on, wich while not super original keept the design solid and easy to “understand”

Even the clothes are urban and KoFish, but still designed in a way to be a decent potential SF design, the whole image work

“It seems that those who saw that figure will die after 24 hours.”

Pls be an hint at #2 character being Death

He can be a nice “new Belger” for Metro City

Game, set, match.

I definitely agree. I am actually a pretty big fan of D.D. and Rook. Their profile pics are often the wallpaper for my phone. I’d be all aboard getting them in SFV

This is actually a reference to King of Fighters 94 where Rugal (who covers his still-living defeated opponents in liquid metal
how awesome is that?!) has a statue in-game that looks like Guile.
