The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Phew! Just finished a 12 game win-streak with Ed. Can firmly say I love everything about this character. Playstyle, personality, look. Everything. Well done, Capcom. 9/10 character in general…11/10 for me personally.

Reading the lyrics to Ed’s theme from his perspective. Parts in bold in particular. Poor sob just trying to survive those chronic ghost hauntings.

Genuinely so happy to see a new character perfectly click with someone. I’m the resident Rashid stan, but I haven’t really seen anyone else like that for any other SFV newcomer until now. Here’s to hoping Ed and Rashid become mainstays!

Same, especially @YagamiFire who has been notably critical of Capcom in the last year. It’s like I’m happy cuz he’s happy lol.

They just haven’t put in the right blond character for me yet

Out of the new characters, Kolin is the only one that clicked with me so far. I’m still hopeful for the last 2 new characters of SFV (not Abigail or whoever is coming next, giants aint my thing)

I want him in there and to be smackin’ down fools and throwing shade. Eagle’s got so much potential for fun just from his personality alone.

From Lounge…

Bipson’s grin.
It just screams, “YES!! YES!!”

FANG’s face is what really sells it lol

Next DLC stage may be Spain (“SPN”), and i will be so ok with it

PS: Also SFV look SO much better without SFV crapfog effect, watch how good look the stage with actual dark shadows

Yeah, they overuse the “crapfog” effect. Wrong thread though.

Hell yes. Rashid is a good character but I am not a fan of his playstyle (not that it’s a bad playstyle, just that it doesn’t suit me well). Hopefully they keep characters like this around.

Lol yeah, man…this is the best thing they’ve done in SFV as far as I’m concerned.

Zangief’s CA is Capcom’s way of testing fatalities for a possible Mortal Kombat crossover

Well they stopped trying when he was remodeled as a lion.

He’s a shit character, pretty awful theme and one of the dumbest looks thus far. And if that wasn’t enough he is all about buttons.

Wow next character please.

Yeesh you’re hard to satisfy

Not particularly. I see that a good many people are saying this one is a suitable replacement for Dudley (rapido punches) and Cody if those two don’t make it in. I think people are too easily satisfied with a mishmash of styles and moves.

Objectively speaking this is one character that shouldn’t be garnering the type of hype that is being displayed.

I take it you don’t know what objectively means?

the good part is that Capcom admit that Ed has undergo accelerated aging and make it part of his story rather than lazy excuses or just let it be stuff…
