I donāt Know it, and I want to!
I have loved fighting games all my life (i am 23) but i started trying to āget gudā only recently, so in the past couple of years i have invested a lot of time in a lot of them, but mainly Street fighter (4 and 3S)ā¦
now that SFV is coming out, i am intending to ride that train all the way from to the start to the very finish, i am not gonna miss the āchildhoodā of another fighting game if i want to be better, but i have no idea what itās all about, albeit for some vague story lines and plots ā¦
the only credible -and awesome- source of info i had was the web series (street fighter assassinās fist) by the forever awesome Joey Ansah, so i was wondering, If i want to catch up with everything that i have missed in the seriesā story, is there a fun source to know it other than just trying to read a soulless block of text narrating the synopsis? i know there were some animated series along the years, and a God awful movie or two, but is any of them a credible source of info?
Ironically, Assassinās Fist isnāt canon, so you may have to take parts of it with a grain of salt. Youāll be happy to know those same guys are working on a Street Fighter: Resurrection series for SFV on Machinima.
If you want to start with the story that is bona fide valid, the best start would be with SF4ās materials. I say this only because everything else is rather poorly defined, and some things are retconed with SF4 anyway. That said, Capcom also made several animated works for SF4, which were linked in the old thread. @Daemos , you may want to add that stuff back to the OP.
Gentlemen, Iād like to know if someone of you has a consistent translation of Sagatās ZERO2 ending where he left Shadaloo for good. The english version is more like āIām just going out to find myself, see you later guysā, which doesnāt fit with his journey of redemption. Thanks.
I am not sure if it has been mentioned before or if it has been explained in the Charlie Nash comic (I havenāt read it).
But is it possible that the new greyish bodyparts Frankencharlie has in SFV are actually parts of Sethās body?
The Illuminati reconstructed him, so itās more likely a prototype of what 12 is made out of than anything to do with Seth.
That said, I could see them having 12 be Urienās improvement on the design of Seth.
Impossible. Charlie ādiedā long before S.I.N. and Seth have even appeared, Iād assume the experimentation over his body wouldāve been accopmlished much earlier
Regarding the Onoās announcement on SF5ās story mode being updated and expanded over time - this certainly hints at either of the two things:
The gameās Story Mode is essentially done in SF Alpha way, where each character has his/her own storyline, and thereās really no true Final Boss this time as every character has his or her own nemesis, after defeating which their storyline will end
The gameās Story Mode is done in a Chapter-based way and, similar to 1), every character will have their own chapters where they go through their own friends and enemies, but after defeating the main rival, only their chapter concludes, but the mode itself continues onto the next character. This essentially results in a complete character rotation and allows expanding the story further
I also think that the story itself will not go in a āChapter 1 > Chapter 2 > Chapter 3 ā¦ etcā model but rather have intentional blanks in it which will be filled by the DLC charactersm so every newcomer will expand and explain the main story of the game piece-by-piece, similar to how modern TV shows or multi-part movie/cartoon sagas keep the action going on and on and keeping you at the edge of your seat, meaning that we will only see the TRUE ending years later and not initially, but weāll be given hints at what is going on
@bakfromon: yes. This is Sagatās ZERO2 ending in english and the one I remember from my player days. In that ending he is painted like a mere puppet. Could be just a goofy and distorted translation. Iām curious if the original japanese version has the same approach regarding leaving his position. He should be more like āI donāt belong to this place, sayonara annoying bastardsā and start is reinassence from that point.
Anyway, new SFV illustration with the full initial roster. Bengusā compositions are always sexy.
Unless Ingrid found Yun at the end of SF3 and took him for a ride (missing MvC2 and having an excellent adventure) into the SFA series. Although, :s no one talks about their bogus journey into CFJ.
Just like in DBZ, Future Yun (from SF3) is so much more wellbetter received than regular Yun (from SF4) andā¦ totally canon time travel is totally canon =)
Or focusing on their own lives since Bison was defeated/killed/asplode and he was an anchor to some of the plotlines. Charlieās avenged. The dolls are released or died. The Illuminati probably dismantled Shadowloo the minute they used Fake Bison to kill off Seth and S.I.N. Now, theyāre probably in the last stretch of that in V with F.A.N.G. screwing things up as a possible spy since he looks like a Spy vs. Spy.
Loving the new SF illustrations. I know some are hard to see, but do you guys see any clues that could reveal any plot details? I ask because the Tutorial Mode for the beta used Bengus art to move the āstoryā. Maybe something could give us a small hint?
I think it would be interesting if story mode was broken down into sagas. Each season giving us something new: new characters to play as and against, new subplot, information that drives the main overarching plot, etc.
It would definitely be engaging and have people who enjoy single-player content coming back to it.
part of me wants to have each character have their own āchapterā, but I would love to revisit old ones too. I would think the main characters (Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken) as well as the main antagonist (Bison, maybe Nash) would have the main plots revolve around them, so revisiting them and playing them again in future chapters and seasons would make a lot of sense. I donāt want it to be where you finish playing a character in the first chapter of story mode and then you never play as them again, even if they are so pivotal to the story.
Well regardless of translation, Sagatās Zero 2 ending is actually just a continuation of his original SFZ ending. Even though he may have taken a leave of absence from Shadaloo after Zero 2, his official resignation wouldnāt come until shortly before SF4, as evidence of Shadaloo agents approaching him during C.Viperās SF2 aftermath short. Donāt know what to say about the whole being portrayed like a puppet. I kinda found it a suiting position for him, given at the time he was driven towards Shadaloo to fulfill a selfish vengeful vendetta.
Great artwork. I feel like Bengusā SFV art is very reminiscent to his work in Marvel vs Capcom 2. All dolls besides Juli and Juni get fresh new redesigns accentuating their particular skill sets and native backgrounds.
If Capcom would go for the " Revisit the old chapters" path of doing the Story Mode in future arcs/sagas, then I would love if they did that from the perspective of other characters
It is just that the Dolls were weakened without the presence of Bison. It is likely heād boost their abilities through Psycho Power. But with him gone or out of the scenery, the Dolls were more easy prey.
But it is certain that Juri was fed with information about the Dolls fighting style and techniques, leaked by S.I.N.
I guess the artificial eye is able to use that information to beyond human levels. While the Dolls probably met Juri for the first time, not knowing how to deal with her.
Guile certainly was not weak, he made Juri angry in the OVA. But he had other priorities, Chun-li and Cammy too. To protect the civilians and secure the area. A full scale fight with Juri would surely lead to casualties.
Cammy and Juri are tied in skills. It is just that Cammy does not try to demonstrate her assassination techniques. She wants to forget her past and not seek revenge. Juri tries to feed herself from hate and revenge. Two totally different characters.
I would say no, the biggest thing that has convinced me that those are all Nashās own pieces and not another personās is his face. Whether this is cloned or tainted tissue, itās still Nash and not Frankensteinās monster-style donor tissue. Looking at Nashās face, it matches - sure thereās the colouration issues and scars, but itās not like his gray parts are illfitting or misshapen. I honestly think that he was really burned up and scarred and a treatment was applied to the wounded areas, but as a side effect they greyed out.
Overall, I think he just got out and started on his mission before being fully and aesthetically finished. Heās fully functional and not going to fall apart. (If you look at his skeleton nothing looks out of place, so I think the stitches are are just skin deep.
Forgive me if Iām rambling, looooong week at work and limited sleep.
Future Yun (from SF3) is so much more well better received than regular Yun (from SF4) andā¦ totally canon time travel is totally canon =)
