The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Isn’t Kylo already a Sith master? Or is he a lord? A master losing to a fucking padawan is just sad.

Either way Rey should have lost an arm in that fight, so she can follow the series protagonist tradition and get a mechanical arm. Then she will be able to give that black dude a turbo hand service.

STREET FIGHTER

No, I don’t think he would do well at all. Can he throw a flying knee? Yes. Is the Tiger Knee FAR beyond what a regular knee strike is? Yes. Fighters could do facsimiles of other peoples moves…but it’s just a pale imitation for the most part barring real training

Also…

Wait a second…I…brain…forming…something…

Akuma is in Tekken

Kazuya runs the G Corporation…

G Corporation deals with incredibly high-tech stuff specializing in genetics research and bio-augmentation and the like…

Urien heads up the G Project…

The G Project focuses on genetics research and bio-augmentation

Kazuya researches stuff to harness the Devil Gene in his DNA…

Kazuya with power awakened…

Twelve, the result of the G Project, can copy fighters DNA and mimic their powers…

During his ending, Twelve seems to gain a malevolent intellect…

OH MY GOD!

Spoiler

Half-Life 3 confirmed!

Planting seeds for SFxT2: This time we won’t fuck it up

First expansion pack name = “We fucked up Edition”

I hope capcom wouldn’t experiment again, gems were supposed to be awesome when they were in pocket fighters and marvel superheroes! the times were there were no exclusivity gameplay fundamentals and free from micro transactions…

You’re mixing that up with the name of SFV’s update in March.

No, but he basically practices the same martial art.

In that one scene where he stops that blaster shot in mid air.

I know this is a dumb question but is the Illuminatti inthis game supposed to be the IRL Illuminatti (not that I believe in it)? It’s just something I’ve wondered every once in a while.

Also any speculation on who might be riding that bike (?) on the Brazil stage in the story trailer, wonder if that could be any of the DLC characters (yeah kinda desperate I know ._.)

Edit: also lol Necalli being so tall, he looks so short in the actual game.

More or less its supposed to be the conspiracy theory satanic “we are watching you” Eye of Horus Illuminati (which is really just derived from fiction anyway). IRL Illuminati was actually very different.

He hunches too much. Have you made his sprite? =)

Edit - Blanka is 6’4", that’s one inch taller than Necalli. Same with Honda @ 6’1". Both look kinda short due to their stances.

No. The Illuminati in the Street Fighter universe are officially called Secret Society, and have been around for 2000 years. They are most likely inspired by real life conspiracies and secret societies but that’s where it ends. Their goals, beliefs, members, associations, and technology are all unique to them.

Had no idea Illuminati wasn’t the official name.

Yeah, Illuminati was just the name the NA translators gave it.

Although, they do call it the Illuminati in the UDON comic, so it’s possible Capcom might start calling it that in SF5.

They should. Illuminati is a much better name than “Secret Society”…especially next to a name like Shadaloo

It’s my understanding that Capcom will probably play the “called many names through out its history” card, and have the Illuminati just be one of them.

I really don’t think Capcom USA should change Illuminati back to Secret Society. Nowadays very few games use the term in their respective lores (the most recent example I can think of would be Deus Ex Human Revolution), so having it named like that in Street Fighter makes the organization itself somewhat special

I agree. I like it better too. And it has that shadow/illumination dichotomy with Shadaloo.

Karin is a crazy bitch. But looks like her, Ibuki, Makoto, Sakura, and Elena are going to end up BFFs.
