The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Sorry, dumb Ipad won’t let me upload pictures on Imgur… fixed it now!

Why FANG is a bad ass:
-Likely kidnapped as a child, went on to become leader of his organization
-The initiation rituals are notoriously brutal, yet FANG is one of the few who manages to survive this process
-Out of all those assassins, FANG managed to fight Bison for much longer than his brethren
-In fact, the above event impressed Bison enough to “spare” him and integrate him into the Four Kings

Moving on, I think the cinematic story will revolve around the launch cast and first 3 characters (Alex, Guile, Balrog). A second update (next year?) will put Ibuki, Juri, Urien, and at least half of Season 2 in the spotlight. Oro is now pretty likely for Season 2, given that Karin seeks to challenge him.

I really dislike fang’s personality. I can’t fathom why Bison would even tolerate his existence.

I dislike the fact that he is so randomly NR 2 in Shadowloo, Balrog or Vega deserved the spot.

FANG has actually kinda grown on me. After learning a bit about his backstory I can see why the way he acts. Also the reason why he now outranks Vega as top Shadaloo assassin is pretty much because he had the balls to attempt to take Bison’s life and survive to tell the tale.

Pretty much. Also, Balrog is dumb and Vega tends to do his own thing when he wants. FANG is dependable at least. I can tell you this much: If Bison sent FANG after Cammy in Alpha 3, she would not have survived.

It works, AWESOME! I totally missed that before, nice find!

so

Spoiler

Ed, the blond haired kid, with psycho power in charlie’s campaign…i wonder if he is intented to be Bison’s new body? eventually taking over Ed’s body…(so he will become young again) or maybe something else, what do you guys think

Good stuff MilesRiey, I totally missed that

Yea and after their first encounter FANG basically became Bison’s number 1 fan, so I don’t predict their being a chance of him being a traitor. He is the loyal servant Bison pretty much deserves at this point. Ken has Sean, Karin has Shibasaki, and now Bison has FANG. He’s animated, a genius, ready to show a smile while simultaneously serving you tormenting pain in the process, and just cocky enough to think up grandiose schemes; like trying to blatantly overthrow Bison. He’s just the person Bison needs on his side.

I think Bison will be “killed” in the cinematic story mode, but will be reincarnated as Ed.

A blonde hair blue eyed M. Bison?

Balrog is a paid thug

Vega is a shady motherfucker with clear intention of possinly betraying Bison for his own good

No way those two deserve that spot

Spoiler

Ohh, sorry, I guess I wasn’t clear. I mean, I know she’s in the game, but how do you know that this is Karin’s past and not her present? Seems to me that Sakura appeared at the same time that the events of the game are happening (and she’s still in the stupid sailor uniform for some reason that is beyond understanding. How long has it been since she’s a high school girl? 10 years? That’s one dumb motherfucker)

I love everything Rock Howard. Too excited for Season 2 DLC now.

so we agree that [details=Spoiler]Ed is going to be important to the story come june[/details]

Everyone in Shadaloo is a shady fucker.

It makes more sense for FANG to be a higher rank than Rog and Claw, though. He just seems more well reserved to be #2 in command.

FANG’s still a creepy muthafucka, but damn it, I’d be telling a lie if I didn’t admit he’s a cool ass creepy muthafucka. Looking forward to seeing more of him in general.

Not relly much of a spoiler just thought this was cool throwback

so is Charlie suppose to be the best fighter of the roster (besides maybe ryu and bison) in terms of power

canon wise

I’d think Necalli is also superior to Nash.
