The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

So you are saying Ryu could beat Raditz? Eh, I don’t know. Has Ryu been shown to be faster than the normal eye can see?

What feats from SF2 movie lead you to believe that?

On another note, remember that Ties That Bind movie where Seth’s scientists were watching Ryu and they had power readings rising quickly, and all the visible digits on the reading is 9s (you never see the first digit) as he turned Satsu No Hado?

I liked that part when Ryu is fighting Seth, and he uses the Power of Nothingness ™, you see that same power reader go to all 9s, and then reaches all 0s (as in 999k becoming 1,000,000 when you add 1 to it), indicating that PoN is a level above SnH.

54m25s because the timestamp isn’t working properly

Pretty much couldn’t agree more with this

  • Who is Rose? I mean, what is the relstion between Rose and Bison?

Actually, no, the reading of 0000 is not it going to 1,000,000 it is all readings dropping off as the Power of Nothingness is…nothingness. Void. Zero. It’s the exact opposite of measurable, hence instruments reading it read 0’s.

The very first scene where Ryu is fighting Sagat and the monitor cyborg is scanning them. The cyborg reads Ryu’s lvl to be 3620 iirc and that’s what perks M Bison’s interest to follow him. Of course these are different from DBZ levels and could totally mean two different things.

In SFA3 Juni has power readings on the fighters based on their height and weight in cm and kg.
Ryu’s are somewhat disproportionately high which implies he has some hidden power (125500 BP). The next highest number to this was Akuma, but on a different category (120000 SP)
So I was actually taking the more conservative number.

My Powerlevels scaling to DBZ just for fun

Ties that Bind

Ryu - 90
-SnH - 140
-PoN - 400
Seth - 170 (he observed SnH Ryu and was confident he could beat him anyway, even trying to goad Ryu into using it)
Ken - 85
-Hidden Power - 150
C. Viper (with gear) - 70 (kicked Cammy’s ass)

Bison - 210 (stronger than Seth but I assume not overwhelmingly so, can take Ryu and Ken 2 on 1)

Juri OVA

Chun - 60
Cammy - 50
Guile - 70 (had best showing against Juri)
Juri - 120 (wrecks Cammy, Guile and Chun but isn’t confident she can beat Seth or Bison 1v1)

Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. It makes sense and you are probably right, but we don’t see the first digit of the reading.

This…

Ken has no hidden power in Ties that bind. It is power of nothingness.

But well something different about Charlie again. I really want to know what he has done in all the time since Alpha 3… We know that he got his memory back RIGHT NOW but what about the time before?

What has Helene to do with it? Will they take the UDON route and connect him to Urien and Gill? He still has the gem on his head after all

I don’t know what this Raditz is, but it sounds disappointing

Raditz is the biological brother of Goku, have you had a childhood?

And my last really dumb question… Is there a reason that Charlie has black skin. I know he is patched together… But well was there no skin for him matching his type?

The parts that are dark are part of his own skin that have gone under a state of necrosis. This means that the skin cells have died and started to decay.

Ever seen a mummy that has been unwrapped? This is usual with things that have been dead for a very long time. Thus why parts of Nash’s skin are darkening, because he was dead at one point.

Do you even abridge, bro??

Whoosh

I don’t write English very well (I´m from Spain), have I failed? xDD

I’m betting the skin isn’t just normal skin. It’s either enhanced someway, like when Urien changes his skin, or it comes from some powerful sample person, like, a Necalli or something.

God, I can’t wait for Urien. In addition to being one of my favorite characters to play as, I’m hoping his release will give us some real explanations to just what the Illuminati is DOING in this game.

His remark was a quote from the popular Dragonball Z Abridged series on Youtube. If you like DBZ & comedy, it is excellent.

Street Fighter is filled with moves would be fatal under normal circumstances. Nash’s super in the game should cut his opponent cleanly in half knowing the cutting power a Sonic Boom has. Cammy is fond of snapping people’s necks with her grabs and counters.

Would Judgement sabre really cut though? In Fatal Fury Chen has a burst of Ki that goes right through people without destroying their body. Frome the way he gathers the swirling energy, I imagined that Judgement sabre was energy bursting and radiating through the opponent and once complete, would dissipate. Could it kill you? Absolutely. I just don’t think it would vertically slice someone in half.

Not to mention Bison and Oni’s penchant for literally blowing holes through peoples torsos.
