The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

I’m glad that Alex has no rivalry with Gief or any other connection to him. Most of the grapplers in the series have a connection to him one way or the other.

Whoa. This “Allen” character is outta left field. If he was used as an experimental body, then there had to be something special about him.

Well weirder things have happened…like people dieing but they weren’t really dead. Powerful things that aren’t actually powerful. Androids that want to be themsevles, psychos, monks, cops that feel the need to arrest anyone at any point in time, pantless women, masquerade parties, fat americans (wait that ones true), robots that speak in binary code, metal maskers, tomboys, bleach white smile villains, pupiless eye people, living dreams and so on.

You think things like masquerade parties and tomboys aren’t real?

Of course. That’s just myths and fiction. It’s like women on the internet. Totally a myth.

Well, I realize girls can’t use computers. But there are plenty of men to put them on the internet for them.

That is true…

Interesting stuff! Never knew about this “Allen” could be someone they could utilize for a future storyline. He was experimented on Shadaloo and lived? Wow. Guy must have some horror stories.

About Nash, interesting, never knew he studied that. His special skill is psychology, but he studied bio. Dude is rather smart.

Which last match do you think he’s referring to?

I think it was referring to the fight they just had…if that makes sense.

Umm… Isn’t it kinda dumb to not notice them before beating him?

Edit: …or is Alex the new Zangief?

Yeah, it seems odd. However, unless Alex just watched Nash fight someone else before fighting himself, I don’t really see what else he could be referring to. The way the quote looks, Alex apparently didn’t take note of Nash’s scars until after the fight.

So he most likely was too focused on the fight or FANG’s drugs didn’t completely wear off yet.

I shall accept that as the most reasonable explanation. Thanks!

Maybe Alex fought a hologram Nash when he was kidnapped by Shadoloo. Their data was outdated.

Strenght and size? Nah
I think the only characters that can match Gief strenght as canon are probably Hugo and maybe T.Hawk

Think at Alex-Gief as a lion and a big bear

Speaking of:

Alex def. Zangief: “If it’s a straight up battle of brawn you want, I won’t lose!”

.

Alex is definitely on par in strength with Gief and Birdie to be able to impale people into concrete. He might be a tad shorter than Gief, but so are characters like Haggar and E. Honda who are also matches for Gief in the strength department. Pretty much all the male grapplers should be a match for one another in strength.

Also I like Alex’s quote to Birdie.

Alex def. Birde: “You’re not a heel, just a glorified jobber!”

He’s not a villain, he’s just broke and takes whatever job he can get.

does that quote that Alex says when he defeats Gief

is it fair to say Alex is stronger than Gief? canon wise

There’s some funny stuff in the CFN updated website like an april fools’ day fake shop with Shadaloo X Mishima Zaibatsu items plus those ads from the visionary book and some interesting one like Nadeshiko’s and her evil counterpart’s profiles, Akiman’s interview and early/unused designs. Powered by F.A.N.G himself.

Not if the only evidence is a win quote. The win quotes are supposed to make the winner sound stronger.
