The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

I’m so interested with Helen, she may be an Illuminati member.

[details=Spoiler]
Me too, but at least they gave us something to keep us waiting til the big story mode update comes.[/details]

Cameos… kinda?

Spoiler

In Rashid’s story mode you see several people posting stuff under a username. For example:

IamSaikyo: Yahoo!! I’m back! Paid my phone bill.
Most likely being Dan and a reference to his SF4 ending iirc.

(dog avatar) Abel: Found Sagat, former member of Shadoloo kings. What’s he doing up here deep in the mountains…
Abel finds a dog and wants to name him in SF4. He also just likes dogs. It’s probably him, I think.

(Skull avatar wearing poison’s hat) H.W.A._Epic: Tomorrow’s gonna be a hot one. You’d better be ready!
I’m just guessing it’s Poison because of the avatar and she later founds the HWA with Hugo.

There are a couple of other usernames but I can’t tell if they’re cameos or just random users to aid Rashid.

I guess.[details=Spoiler] But given how short all the character story modes are, You can easily complete 100% of all of them in a single day. I was hoping for a monthly update where there is an additional content. know we have to wait until June for the big Cinematic story. But at least give us something story wise at least every month. Kinda sucks how you complete all of character story and now have to wait four more months just to do the big story. [/details]

[details=Spoiler]I am loving Balrog’s new look! Also I’m liking Ed. Kid’s got some attitude on him heh, I can see him being fun. Overall the voice acting seems, in my opinion, much better than Sf4. Back to Ed, I was expecting the typical timid, mystical waifish kid that anime is so fond of, but that’s not what he is. I think him hanging around Balrog has changed him, even with the hoodie and developed arm muscles, he may be learning to fight. I would love if Ed is a key to developing 'Rog past his past 1 dimensional ways.

It could be cool if Balrog had a bit of a soft spot for this kid and that lead to character development for him. It’s interesting what FANG said, it seems he’s trying to catch Ed and use him as proof against Balrog in some way.[/details]

@Angerus : Dude, nice! Thanks for giving the heads up on those, I think you’re on the money with the identities!

Spoiler

I guess. But i have survival mode which is pretty nice to see how far you can go. And with new characters monthly, i think i can make it. :stuck_out_tongue:

[details=Spoiler] Here she is

It looks like her pose from Alpha 3 versus screen

Looool at Nash explaining being on tilt. Where’s the conversation about FOOTSIES!

Something I just considered about FANG.

[details=Spoiler]The symbol on his qipao: 貳 , is the formal writing of the Japanese number 2 which can also mean to betray. The beginning of his story mode explains that before joining Shadaloo he was head of his own crime syndicate which had pledged loyalty to Shadaloo. This was secretly part of a coup that backfired against FANG when he and his operatives attempted to usurp Bison by assassinating him. After Bison manages to kill FANG’s men and subdue him personally he commends FANG on the audacious assassination attempt and procedes to offer him a position as his right hand. Stating the only reason he has survived this encounter was because of his strength.

So not only did FANG become second in command by trying to betray Bison originally, he also betrays the now defunct crime syndicate he was once a leader of to become part of Shadaloo.

Everything truly comes in twos with FANG. I wonder if he listens to 2Chainz???

More of the social media speculation in Rashid’s story will update as I watch more:

[details=Spoiler]effiepurpnight; None other than Necro’s GF Effie! The purple colour and the snake avatar are big hints

eyepuzzledurmom: I have no idea, but the green colour and mother connection…Blanka? Could it be a jab at how he may have puzzled/freaked out a friend’s mother when meeting him? Making a self deprecating joke about being a mamma’s boy?

honeysunnygilly: Nope, not going for the obvious one…what if that’s Kolin? She and Gill have been hinted to be romantically involved, and the ice icon makes me wonder. Also, I can see Kolin being friendly and using winky faces more than Gill.

edit: huh…curveball on effie: Rashid stated her name is MAYA aka CRIMSON VIPER! :open_mouth:
[/details]

Spoiler

Actually, effiepurpnight might just be c.viper. The avatar is a crimson viper and Rashid calls her Maya, which is C. Viper’s name if I’m not mistaken

Heh, good point, I watched more of Rashid’s story mode and caught that, I jumped the gun a bit haha

I’m kind of surprised

Spoiler

C. Viper has GPS coordinates of where Ryu is. Is he constantly being watched now by a satellite or some other way?

Spoiler

Viper a slut, she put a GPS signal on Ryu’s dick. This was told to me I’m confidence. Makes another character seeing Ryu nakes that isn’t Sakura. Poor girl.

I liked Rashid from when I first saw him, but now, with him being voiced by (Ian Sinclaire?) I love the dude even more. Total bro!

Yoo, FANG is a real bad ass. Really excited to use him now.

Dont forget the awesome theme

Soooo about your post…

[details=Spoiler]

Now that, is Necro and Elfie (with him trash talking Dhalsim to boot, lol). I don’t blame Angerus though, this cameo happens in a split second… I just have an eye for these things I guess lol[/details]

Rashids theme makes me want to play him. Especially right before the Rashido and beat is drop killin it… Sounds like some Punjabi MC shit. I’m down

Hmm, unfortunately, I can’t see your picture, but the info you provided makes me even more curious! :o
