The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Apparently Max said Azam (I think) is Pullum’s dad, but that could be just speculation

Karin was like that in A3 as well. Even when she beats Sakura in her story, she is graceful in victory and admits Sakura is the better fighter. The only time she was the complete-bitch Karin was in the comics.

Max as in Maximilian? Max wouldn’t know SF canon if it hit him in the face.

Pullum Purna is not a Street Fighter character. She does not exist in the canon universe.

Lol let’s agree to disagree my friend. Also, yes to Azam being playable.

I noticed someone mentioned Rashids messages/twitter thing, but does anyone have them all compiled? From what I’ve seen, Abel finds Sagat in the mountains, Necro sees Dhalsim, the wrestler’s association that hugo and poison are associated with says something about the next day, Guy has a blog about bishin-ryu, and Dan paid his phone bill. Anyone else get any more?

It’s actually funny just how many of SF’s characters are on the internet.

And before, what was she besides the rich bitch that hated losing?

She was always entirely 1-dimensional. They just changed what that 1 dimension was.

Spoiler

Anyone from Blanka to even Rock Lee

Dude, why are you even arguing this? Karin is a stereotype character first and foremost, there’s only so much one can do unless you want to revamp Karin entirely and give her a different personality. It would be basically like creating an entirely new cast member, from the lore standpoint

Yeah, there’s a certain blandness to her, but she’s ascended beyond just being a basic bitch just because she’s a rich lady. I appreciate the elegance and sophistication in her mannerisms and her speech, it’s truly amazing

There’s also his friend Maya who’s C. Viper, investigating Shadaloo

That’s exactly why Bison is so fucking OP

He doesn’t care if you’re willing to betray him, he doesn’t care if you’re willing to overthrow him. As long as you’re useful to him - you’re guaranteed a spot in the Shadaloo ranks. That’s pretty badass and just another example of how arrogant Bison’s character is. Even though Bison is the villain and loves every second of being one - how can I hate on the guy!?

@TehTy

I thought it was pretty obvious she was talking to another Agent. Given that they both have codenames that are “Color” “Animal”.

Not to mention, previous other Agent, Smart Raven.

And Chun’s nickname is Blue Jade according to her Vine card… Viper connection!?!

I thought it was referring to Rashid? Like how Viper refers to her hair looking like a snake, I thought the Goat was referring to his beard.

Space Dandy in street fighter?

Nice catch, but we code names are usually given to agents and Capcom has given us no indication that Rashid actually does anything besides being rich and buying stuff.

Oh man, I never realized her hair was like a red snake before.

And Smart Raven’s hair looks like a Raven…

But no, I don’t think Jade Goat is Rashid.

Apparently, it’s gonna be some guy with green hair done up to look like a goat.

So Rashids friend is feamle. Has someone wasted a guess on this?

I have again the german translation.
Rashid talks the whole time about a “Freundin”, in the english version he only says friend and never gives a hint about the gender.
I doubt that this is his girlfriend,otherwise he would say in english girlfriend, but if she is just a regular friend of him, it would make sense.
Freund and Freundin are both translated with friend.
If he would be in a relationship it would be, boyfriend or girlfriend.

I’m sure his friend is female and I haven’t discoverd a single hint in the english version that he says something about the gender of his friend.

They probably didn’t actively try to confirm it, but gave it away as required for translation.

Dhalsim’s prologue was definitely the most enjoyable for me. Good amounts of dialogue, Oro making an appearance and Sim explaining the Yoga made whole thing good.

Birdie overall made me sad. Just give him some food. Man’s starving!

His friend is Crimson Viper. I don’t know how there could be any ambiguity there.
