The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Alex def. F.A.N.G - “You’ve got height and reach, but you’re not making it work for you.”

F.A.N.G def. Alex - “Well, you’re not exactly ideal, but you’ll make fine fodder for my next experiment.”

Honestly…I think this random story is just that…totally random and unimportant. Just slapped together nonsense.

Wait a minute, I just realized something. In Alex’s story, the first set of holograms he bodies are Dan, Hakan, and Honda. In the SFV character relation chart:

Dan, Hakan, and Honda are together in the chart in the yellow box above Ryu. I have no idea what this means, but it seems they are related somehow. In the UDON comics, Dan works for Honda at his sumo camp. This may be at least partially true within SFV, especially if Sakura and Blanka are no longer helping him and bringing in money.

BUT WAIT, THE RABBIT HOLE GOES EVEN DEEPER!
Here’s Sodom’s Alpha 2 Ending:

What if they build on this when they bring Sodom back, and tie him into this group as a student/fan of sumo? This not only gives him relevance to non-Final Fight characters (a reason Capcom claims he was left out), but also makes use of his actual wrestling background and ties him to the greater wrestling circuit of which Zangief, Mika, and Laura are members.

Dan, Honda, and Hakan are all listed in the yellow box as “searching for students & a gourmet journey”. I’m guessing they’re all in the same trying to push their respective arts and gain students. I known Honda loves food and I’m assuming Hakan uses his oil for food, but idky Dan would be on a gourmet journey with them.

One thing that we can say for sure is that the New York stage will have some major part to play this upcoming June as they refuse to use it in any fashion for the prologue story.

I’m curious if Dan, Hakan or Honda will actually speak, or just get blasted away before they can.

Yeah, it’s going to go down in NYC. I imagine once the fighters gather together for the huge tournament, Bison is going to start fucking shit up. It’d be funny if that huge power outage shown in the trailer happens during the tournament.

Man I can’t wait for Bison to be surrounded by the heroes, and this motherfucker is all smiling and like “ACTIVATE IT” and the Bison Spheres explode

Something about the New York stage that’s intriguing

The guy in the background with the green shirt talking to the cops is always pointing up at something. I’m assuming he’s the one who caused the accident; as his car is the one facing on coming traffic having hit the truck, but I wonder why he keeps pointing upward when he’s trying to explain to the cops what happened. It’s almost like he’s trying to show the cop something in the sky, and the cop doesn’t believe him because of all the commotion going on.

Not that I’m aware of. [url = https://www.mediafire.com/?94q19e8j4hou59q]Here are all the voice clips from his prologue.

If anything seems wrong or missing, please let me know. Haven’t been feeling like myself today.
Note also that the order of the files can be a little odd, and some files simply have no audio.

The guy in the green shirt? You talking about Kazunoko?

He’s probably pointing at the Bison sphere, which has already been shown to be floating above the city in that stage.

It’s kinda funny how the stage is called “City in Chaos” yet pretty much the only thing close to “Chaotic” about it is the upside-down car on the street and the sedan+truck crash. Unless the stage’s name is playing on the foreshadowing of Bison’s plan

Also for being a stage based off of New York the population seems pretty stagnant. Maybe the night version of the stage will yield more chaotic results?

Yea. I was just thinking maybe the accident might have had something to do with some guy spotting it while driving and becoming distracted.

Is it just me or does it look like there’s a lot of smoke and dust clouds in the background of this stage? Almost like a building fell or a bomb went off, something that would cause a lot of debris. It’s something that’s bugged me since this stage was shown. At first I thought it was just a weird skybox but if you look closely you can see it’s around street level.

No, I doubt Capcom is dumb enough to make a stage where New York is hit by a terrorist attack. Then again, they revealed Rashid on 9/11.

It just seems to be a cloudy day, check out this video with the Vega glitch and you’ll see it’s just lots of clouds

Most likely. If we go by the Cinematic Story trailer - you can tell that all lights are out across the city (I believe the City in Chaos stage we see in the daytime is just before the Spheres emit the EMP shockwave across the globe), and there are a few scenes (Charlie walking through Metro City, and Chun-Li meeting Rashid, mistaking him for a criminal/Shadaloo affiliate) where you can see there are flames, probably after explosions caused by stuff like traffic crashes, since AFAIK EMP shockwaves also completely disable the car engines, meaning they’d get uncontrollable, causing casualties as well

What if Shadaloo’s base isn’t around New York?

It isn’t. It’s most definitely somewhere in South-East Asia

is Capcom playing with the idea that Alex is the chosen one of the SF universe here, with Shadaloo kidnapping him?
