The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Omg they REALLY used lazy asshole summer cop design at the end lol

Who cares, Story or Premium alt will be SF2 classic (or at least something cool)

Btw SF2 stage is pure WIN

Btw this dude

is in Guile stage, same short camo pants too

Looks like Akuma went to Tekken and Bruce Irvine went to Street Fighter lmao

That’s their reimagined Sawada. :smirk:

I love the SF2 updated stage! Also loving well…everything! Interesting that the guy in the shorts from the trailer is there. I wonder who he is to have gotten so much prominent focus in the trailer…didn’t some recent character connections stuff name other people connected to the USAF? A “David”, “Sawada” and another person?

Here’s a clearer picture of him. Big black fellow, wearing shorts, Garrison cap, MUSTACHE…could…could this be the Carl Weathers to Guile’s Dutch? :heart:

SFV got tiny hands
SF4 Guile got hammers

Given this new info, that jet scream compensation

Stage look fucking awesome, some of the best colors i seen in SFV

Insta top tier with Karin’s and Gief’s

Guile’s hands are just in proportion to his body this time.

Also after seeing all the concepts for the American Air Force stage they were planning (alien dinosaurs) I’m glad they just scrapped the new ideas and went with the update of an original classic.

Now we just need Sagat+Buddha stage…

So does anyone think that Guile will get any meaningful story development dealing with Nash’s resurrection? Is this basically gonna be like Capt. America vs Winter Soldier?

Maybe not in the character story. But maybe in the cinematic story, I hope they pull that Winter Soldier thing off.

I always thought that when Capcom resurrected Nash, they would make him cold blooded, heartless, even forgetful of his past life.
But Guile would be the one that would snap him out of his senses. Nash wants to kill Bison, but Guile makes him remember that he was a good man and a good soldier.

That’s pretty much the entire purpose of bringing Guile into the mix for SFV. I bet his role in the Story Mode (the cinematic one) will be devoted to him going after Bison AND pulling Charlie back to the Light Side

That’s pretty much what I see Guile’s story being about. He’ll most likely hear about a mysterious figure resembling Nash, convincing him to search him out, or Nash is going to find him. With the way Nash looked at the Guile photograph, it kinda makes him look like a target, but I’m not sure.

When Guile realizes what happened to Nash, he’ll probably try to convince him to take a step back from pursuing Bison for revenge. Nash, of course, will refuse and tell Guile he better stay out of his way. Something similar to their Alpha 3 battle. Eventually they’ll team-up to confront Bison.

The way Charlie looked at the picture of Guile and then looked away to certain somebody makes me think of this:

Either the whole scene implies that he was instructed to look at the picture when he meets Guile (and sees him on the photo), or he receives the picture from the person he meets at the Waterfall stage and then is in shock when he sees Guile on it

Whichever is the case, that means Charlie was tasked with Guile’s assassination, so this might be the turning point for his story

Seeing as what they did with the story of SFV at its current stage (ie. they butchered the whole thing), I doubt Guile will have much of a story. His fights will probably be 1-Vega/Birdie for info on Shadaloo or a random Alex fight, 2-FANG for some extra Shadaloo info and 3-Nash for the “WTF” moment.

That’s it. It won’t tell us anything AT ALL.

PS: His win quote to Nash will most likely be: “Charlie? Is that you?” or “Charlie, what happened to you?” or “Charlie, I knew you were alive!” or something very anticlimactic like that. And Nash’s will be: “If you stand in my way, Guile, I will kill you.” Yes, expect this level of lameness from Capcom.

One guess I have is that he was casually given a photo of “one of the men who is linked with Shadaloo” or “the man who ordered the chopper to take you down”. The thing is, I have questions about this scenario:

  1. Why would he ever believe that Guile, who offered to help him, decided to shoot him down?
  2. What does Helen and her organization hope to accomplish by lying to Nash? Do they hope to completely bend him to their whim by having him kill his friends?
  3. No really, why would he believe this mysterious figure and not his best friend?
  4. If this scenario plays out, how does it end? [details=Spoiler]Could Guile actually die?[/details]

It’s clear that, when considering the last panel of Nash’s prologue and the win quotes between him, Cammy, and Chun-Li, they will not have a happy reunion.

I’m pretty sure Guile’s story will play more or less like this:

1: Flashback, Guile and Zero Nash will be pursuing Shadoloo and might fight Balrog/Vega or Birdie in order to find some information;
2: Flashback, Guile and Zero Nash will stumble upon Chun-Li (in her detective alt) and offer to help her find Shadoloo and her father (just another point of view from Chun-Li’s story mode);
3: Flashback, Zero Nash will tell Guile to go away and leave Shadoloo with him (another point of view from the same scene from Nash’s story mode);
4: Present time, Chun-Li, Guile and Cammy will come across zombie Nash who will want revenge against Guile for betraying and ordering his execution. A well planned lie by Helen and whatever her organization is.

And I was thinking that this dude was Abel…

BTW, interesting stuff about SF1 from Gamest #13… it seems that Gouken was killed by Sagat… and that’s why they entered the Sf1 tournament.

WHAT.DA.FUK?

OOOOOOOOH FUCK, how did I not think of this!?

Helen and whatever organization she works for (Shadaloo? Illuminati? Something else?) will lead Charlie to believe that Guile was partially responsilbe for his death in Alpha 2, when the chopper shot the shit out of him before dealing a final strike to Bison!

It’s basically sort of Darth Vader-type of story for Nash, when he completely becomes alienated in his beliefs and enemies/allies because he can’t trust the government he once served for (US Army) while Guile is stillin the service, automatically thinking Guile is his enemy as well!

So the scene where Charlie takes the photo and sees Guile will probably have the context of “this is the man responsible for your death”

DUDE, THANK YOU

Haha, to be honest, I was getting a ROTS vibe as well. Although if that’s the case, I wonder who is more gullible between Anakin and Nash.
