Akuma and Asura turned to stone at the end of the DLC. When did Asura have the time to sent Akuma away?
I actually had this same idea running through my head the other day. I thought it was too convoluted and complex so I decided not to post it.
Well they were about to break out of the stone to deliver the final blow just before the DLC ended. I’m thinking this debt Akuma owes Kazumi in Tekken is for saving him from having to fight Asura for another 500 years.
OH RIGHT - I forgot to add: At the end of Asura vs Akuma fight, before Asura strikes the final blow to defeat Akuma, Kazumi summons a “Devil” to kill Heihachi and Kazuya, and Akuma appears in the Tekken universe, thus Akuma being in Kazumi’s debt which he shall repay by stopping Hei and Kaz from destryoing the world
And kicking Jin’s, Lars’ and Lei’s asses on the way
by the way @bakfromon @Daemos @Shockdingo @Eternal would you guys like to comment on The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION! ?
Maybe help figure out the correct chain of events
i know this may be the last beta test before the release of SFV (not counting maybe a couple more stress tests in between). But part of me wanted to have a very small taste of story mode in the next beta. Like how it was done during tutorial mode, but smaller: Show the opening cutscene to set up the plot, then you can play one or two matches, and then end with the Opening cinematic or a “to be continued on SFV, coming soon” text. I know how capcom wants their main focused to be online play during the beta tests. But i think the betas would be a good opportunity to preview their other features.

SF4, with all non-canon and irrelevant to everyone else endings excluded:
-Chun Li gets SIN data, but is intercepted by Vega
-Guile is confronted by Seth. Abel takes on Seth while Guile escapes; Bison later shows up and starts beating on Seth while Abel leaves
-Bison and Juri take turns beating up Seth
-Cammy finds Decapre, M.Bison takes Decapre back to his aircraft
-Bison returns as Rose approaches Seth’s body and knocks her out
-Ryu destroys BLECE, meets up with Sakura, finds Dan/Blanka, and then leaves Sakura with them (explains why he’s alone in the wreckage)
-Gen saves Chun-Li as the building collapses
-Akuma and Gouken have their fight
-Gen observes, then leaves Chun-Li for Guile and Abel to find
-Guy encounters Cody, then apprehends Bison taking Rose to the aircraft
-Rolento finally arrives and kills Seth
Did they reveal which country the new characters are officially from. Laura is obvious, but what about the other three?
Rashid is from the United Arab Emirates. FANG is likely Chinese (Guessing Hong Kong since every Chinese character expect Chun hails from there). If Necalli is Aztec then he hails from what’s currently Mexico.
Excluding Laura, none of the newcomers are actually given an official birthplace. We can assume that Rashid is from Dubai given his design, and the fact the city skyline appears in his character art. We can assume Necalli is from Mexico given his name meaning in the Aztec language. We can even venture to say Fang is Chinese, but we haven’t gotten any official birthplace for any of them. The only hints we get for a cultural background are the characters design.
I forget who I was arguing with, but I told him that Sagat was not part of Shadoloo and he basically flipped out and got very angry.
I think Sagat will be in the game but yeah, it’s cool to see SFA2’s endings canonized and it’s nice to see SFA2 links to story in the game!
Now if I’m right about Seth being a failed precursor to Urien and Gill I’ll be 2 for 2!
I know it’s not 100% on topic, but this is pretty much the easiest way to give a heads-up to the people here I talk with…
For 4 weeks now I’ve been doing an internet radio show alongside my buddy Deven for a local station. We talk about video games, comics, movies and what-not. I put up a link in my signature for anyone that wants to give it a listen! The site also has quite a few articles I’ve written including a couple fighting game articles. When we come back from holiday break in January we’re planning an SF-centric episode with mention of the canon, beta and whatever else that comes to mind. Give us a listen, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. We try to keep it fun and we’ve had a couple awesome guests!
Talk about Heroic Publishing comics. They are pretty good, and were dealing with social issues long before Marvel and DC jumped on the bandwagon.
I’ve been a bit spotty on the SF4 events myself, but I’ll agree with your points. Rose-Guy’s endings are kind of confusing to place. If Bison’s taking her to his VTOL, and then leaves after Guy’s threat, is this somehow after the Juri confrontation, or is he heading there? With 'Rog, I’m guessing that as soon as crap started to come down, he could have snuck the kid out with all the carnage. As for the others you listed? I’m stumped too.
Orrr Akuma in Tekken is just a non-canon side-story… Like Darth Vader in SC4, or Lars in Naruto. Hell, Devil Jin is more of a “What if” in some of the games.
I think if we get Sakura, they’re going to borrow heavily from the Sakura Ganbaru manga: http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Sakura_Ganbaru
Which is interesting, because it introduced Karin and precedes CvS2 Maki. I think Capcom has basically adopted this into the Street Fighter canon. So, we may finally see PE teacher Sakura after all.
If anything they should borrow the mannerisms and characteristics that were given to Karin in her manga appearance and apply them to her SFV story.
Found it. This is Sagat’s ZERO2 ending. I hope someone has a good knowledge of the Japanese language so we can understand if there’s a conceptual difference with the occidental version. It starts at minute 2:40.
There is definitely no difference. Maybe some minor thing, but the main story is that Sagat found his way and fights for honor not Shadoloo. He joined Shadowloo because of his rage and to find Ryu. Sagat is not a bad guy or a Shadowloo goon and I hope this is explored furher in V.
Considering how I nailed that I fully believe that there is a decent chance I’m right about Seth being a precursor to Urien/Gill and that was either the point from the beginning or will be worked into 5 somehow. Or who knows I could be wrong and Seth is just never mentioned again.
I also think either Charlie or Guile should be Remys dad but that’s just wild guessing. Makes sense considering his age and not having a father growing up would certainly lead to a broken character (besides of cours what happened to his sister).
