The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

It’s Daichi, not Taichi according to the wikia atleast. ‘大地の仮面 - Daichi No Kamen’. Can someone check? Also translate.

Daichi… earth/ground or replace/substitute?

Grammatically… Daichi no Kamen = Kamen of Daichi so either… mask of earth or mask of substitution?

p.s. mask rider (Kamen Raidā)

We might’ve gone over this already, but if Mel Masters was born in Street Fighter IV and is 3 in Street Fighter III (according to the wiki, I figured about 5), doesn’t that kinda narrow the gap of V taking place?

We did go over this already actually, Mel is 3yo in 2i and 4yo in 3s. This means there is about 3 years between 2i and the end of SF4 (when Mel was born). The problem is we still don’t know whether SF5 is closer to SF4 or closer to SF3:2i in the timeline. I’m betting on the latter.

I hope Mel never becomes playable in a Street Fighter game.

Seems like this lovely mature lady is the coach/host in the upcoming “Fighter Research DVD”. Kindly offered by Shadaloo.

I really hope some of this stuff isn’t Japanese-exclusive, it’d be a freakin’ shame if we all couldn’t at least check out the art books and bonus dvd.

Looking at the Bison statue/Dolls pic I can’t help but think of Hyperion from Borderlands 2 and Handsome Jack’s poses/posters around Pandora

We’ll definitely get the art book in our collector’s editions, but doesn’t seem likely that we’ll get the swanky DVD. Sad really.

Not that we would need the DVD to learn how to play as the characters, but it’s a novelty item nontheless

Umm…I don’t think that’s a woman.

That says “Professor Woshige”.

As in “What are you standing up for 2015” Woshige the GGXrd player and SF5 battle designer. Obviously, the battle designer would be the one teaching people the secrets of the game.

The dolls look happy in that poster. I wonder if they’re giving them personalities or it’s just for the Shadaloo propaganda. (New objective. Smile for the photo. Objective accoplished)

Wouldn’t surprise me if Capcom has changed Bisons mindcontroll from Robot to loyal until death.

As I saw Decapre in her first Trailer I was like :" Yo! Cammys sis is in the house, can’t wait to learn more about her!"
plays the game
:s

Honestly they wasted a lot of potential, she struggles with her mindcontroll and seems to remember her childhood.
Instead of showing her connection to Cammy and who she really is in terms of personality. We got a robot who goes berserk. At least her aggresion problem was real.

If the Dolls show now their personality but serve Bison as brainwashed Agents, they would become 200% more interesting.

You may be short-changed on the art book as well. The one for Japan’s editions looks to have 16 more pages and larger book dimensions also.

Hey everyone! Merry Christmas! May all your hopes and dreams be crushed in order to make way for the benevolent rule of our Lord Bison! HAIL BISON!

SMH… I just had to read this news on Christmas Day. CapClaus shortchanges Americans again. sigh

Their battle designer looks a lot like a lovely mature lady. Nice.

Shadaloo’s battle designer’s mid competition celebrations take after FANG.

Apologies for the completely irrelevant topic, but I noticed something in the audio files leak here .
In Vega’s scene, it sounds like he fights FANG at some point, and like he’s beating the stuffing out of Cammy. How strong is Vega? Last I remember, he’s inferior to Chun and Cammy, yet here he can apparently take on FANG and defeat Cammy with ease?

Don’t take the lore to serious.
Juri lost in SFIV against Cammy too.
Maybe Vega is taking drugs now.
Or you confuse Vega(Claw) and Bison(dictator) now.
