Does that mean I am special?

2647

Perhaps, do you feel magical energy building up?

Cammy has always been a fan of the pussy. Now she even has Juni on it.

(I think her team up with Juli implied she was always on it)

I’m still salty that they changed Juni’s hair and eye color…

2650

so is Li-Fen the girl Chun Li is looking for in SF3?

2651

Wow, really? They made Juni into another green-eyed blonde?

2652

I was so excited about seeing a certain someone that i might of missed a major plot point within the text.

[details=Spoiler]

FANG mentions preparing 7 P.S.A’s, and we know there are 7 of those giant orbs Shadaloo’s launching into space. Of course Shadaloo has an acronym for everything, so does anybody care to speculate on what the hell a P.S.A is? I’m guessing it’s not a Public Service Announcement, maybe a Psycho Service Announcement? Psycho Sun Absorbent? Psycho Solar Apparatus? Maybe like S.I.N we’ll never officially know? Thoughts?

Juni from A3 >>>> new design

2654

Agreed :confused: She’s still cute, but the original was cuter

2655

We haven’t had confirmation yet that cammy isn’t putting the “rescued” dolls into forced prostitution.

Just realized the back wall in the shadaloo stage has the same hexagon pattern as the big Bison balls from the story trailer. I wonder if that stage is inside one of those things.

2658

Illegal sex exploitation is not a funny topic.

2659

says who

2660

Dhalsim describes the secret of his flame and how it relates to the mind.

[details=Spoiler]He also happens to be an excellent teacher of Yoga. He could definitely teach anybody his secrets given time.

This was a very interesting point [details=Spoiler]Charlie says that he needs to understand these powers. So it doesn’t seem like he had these abilities in Alpha, but they were subject to story and gameplay segregation. I really enjoyed that scene because I always wondered what it would be like if my ol’ fave fought the company mascot, and both came away being treated respectfully. Also, if you look at Nash’s personality in this, it seems to confirm something I was wondering at the start of SF5’s media tour.

Earlier I was thinking and hoping that Charlie wasn’t as heartless and brutal as he let on, but was warning people. If you look at his personality towards the end of his story and the Ryu encounter, he’s got some sass, but is respectful and even thanks him for the match. I think he feels "I lost everything and became a monster, so I’ll behave like a monster and prevent more innocents from getting hurt - he’s certainly obsessed and unhinged, but I get the vibe he’s using his appearance and newfound aggression to scare off people so that they’ll leave him be while he works.

I really am impressed with the offerings we have so far. Ono and his team are really getting it and even with some alterations and retcons, Street Fighter’s lore is going to be better for it moving forward.[/details]

2662

[details=Spoiler]Yes, I believe it’s practically confirmed Oro will be playable. Karin is seeking him out, and he interacts with Dhalsim. Not only that, but in each of their respective stories, a decently large chunk is centered around him. It would be odd if he physically appears in Dhalsim’s story while Karin is looking for him, and he ends up not being playable.

Plus, he mentions sensing another interesting person in the nearby area, hinting at interaction with more characters. I can’t wait, honestly :)[/details]

2663

[details=Spoiler]Anyone notice how Oro has all these young girls chasing after him? Ibuki in SF3, and now Karin in SFV. Speaking of Ibuki, something interesting I noticed in Mika’s story was that Ibuki mentions she’s been working for the Kanzuki’s longer than Mika has. With that, and Karin herself mentioning the Glade of Ninjas being under her service in Ken’s story I’m guessing this confirms that Ibuki herself and her clan are employed by the Kanzuki’s.

2664

[details=Spoiler]Speaking of Karin, she has gotten so powerful, I love it :slight_smile:

And about Ibuki, yes I agree with you. I’m guessing her employment under Karin is how she get involved in story mode, and how the Glade of Ninjas discover the Secret Society. This would smoothly lead into her SFIII story. This is all just theories, though.[/details]

2665

[details=Spoiler]I was never really a sizeable fan of Karin back in the SFA3 days. I liked her moves, but I kinda wrote her off as another ojou type. Don’t get me wrong, she was fun, but I like that she seems more mannered and chill here while still having that drive for greatness. She’s really grown up and is really likeable. I at first thought she’d be treating Birdie like a lackey, but other than landing on him, she seems to treat him well. It was touching that she was so happy to see Sakura. :heart:

Overall I’m really loving how connected so many characters are in this story. This is what I always wanted from Street Fighter; more acknowledgement of connections. With all the craziness they’ve been through, their world should be rather small, so it’d make sense for many of the fighters to know each other and know of various reputations.
