The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Oh good! They used Ingrid’s Z3DU storyline on this? At least that’s what I could understand. That Vega used one of Ingrid’s crest and another thing (an amulet?) to fuel the Psycho Drive increasing his Psycho Power. And it was a nice touch seeing the SF2: AM final battle as Vega’s defeat.

[details=Spoiler]Profile
Member of Vega’s personal gurad. By his order, she became responsible for collecting fighting data. But, it seems that her existence has a greater significance for Vega and Shadoloo.

Fighting Style
Her basic fighting style is to keep the opponent from a distance using fast leg strokes until find an opening so she can deliver a sharp blow. Despite her small body frame, it has a great fighting ability, since her muscle strength and neurological reflexes were artificially enhanced. Her specialty are attacks that use the legs. The elasticity of her body could be compared to the body of a gymnast, which allows to perform acrobatic moves.

Fashion Style
The uniform is given by the organization and its design is extremely cold and impersonal. It is a swimsuit that, despite being very light, has high performance and protects the neck’s vital point. To prevent injuries during violent combat, uses a large protector on the forearm and shoulder pads embedded. The clamp attached to the upper arm shows that she’s part of the Vega’s personal guard.

Mykonos Island (Greece)
"As usual, we will begin the reports meeting."
In a dark room equipped with an eighty-inch projection screen, a tall man wearing glasses begins to read the documents in his hands.
In the room, about ten people hear his words carefully.
"This investigation was carried out in Greece, where, as you know, is the holiday resort’s Prime Minister from Muwajik Republic - Mr. Guihad. This image was captured on the Kyuanoeides (Kalafatis?) beach, located at the southeast of Mykonos Island."
The picture showed a completely blue sky and a fine white sand beach.
"It was on this beach, at daylight, that the murder of Guihad recently happened. The case is being reported as an heart attack. But as you can see…"
The image moves. At the center of the screen, you can see a little girl playing in the sand. Apparently, Guihad’s wife was filming their daughter.
Behind her, a very small image of a man sitting on a beach chair can be seen. It’s Guihad.
The focus of the camera isn’t him. So he goes in and out of the frame. Until then, there’s no suspicious movement.
"Here!"
The image freezes and is rewinded a bit. At the edge of the frame, you can see something crossing horizontally, similar to a piece of fabric. A second later, the chair were Guihad is sitting begins to fall slowly. At this point, his wife, who was doing the shooting in the distance, have not realized what was happening.
The child’s cries of joy can still be heard.
"It seems unbelievable, but it was during those very few seconds that a powerful poison with ultra-fast effect was injected into Guihad. No physical evidence was found at the incident scene."
The wife realizes what is happening and immediately puts/drops the camera on the floor and run towards her husband.
The image was frozen at this point.
"For a year, all over the world, there were several mysterious murders like this. I also would like you all to see this…"
The following projection was a picture of a young woman. Full body, front, side and back.
It seems to be an Asian teenager.
“This girl was aboard the boat that shipwrecked and was captured 150Km south of Tonsha archipelago. In the same boat there were 38 more orientals, including Chinese, but all died. This young girl was rescued in a state of profound malnutrition, and 55 hours after the rescue, she died. The most surprising thing is that it was found in her body, a huge amount of anabolic steroids, tranquilizers and other hormones composed by unidentified elements. Her bone and muscle development is completely abnormal. The only thing that was proven is that this was not due to illnesses or congenital problems. There was absolutely nothing found that could contribute to the identification of the youngling. The number of injections spots on both legs and arms, the lack of memory, all evidence fits perfectly to the characteristics of an ‘enhanced body’, reported on other occasions.”
“Which means…?” - Questions one of the participants.
“If we consider that there is the possibility of an important connection between these two cases, it is important to review the whole inquiry and I would like that the strengthen of the investigation department is urgently thought. I believe this is a key step to approach the organization as known as ‘Shadoloo’.”[/details]

An evil, diabolical man, head of the secret organization “Shadoloo” and wielder of the negative “Psycho Power”. He captured (?) Ryu and plans to use him for the benefit of the organization.

Fighting Style
Crushes his opponents with extraordinary movements, originated from exceptional muscular strength and the incredible Psycho Power. The white-bluish light (which is the manifestation of Psycho Power) emanating from his body, imputes a feeling of terror and subtracts from the opponent all ability to judge serenely. There is no striking peculiarity in the style of his punches and kicks. However, his uniquely developed body seems to deliver each blow with tremendous push.

Fashion Style
This evil man who is at the top of Shadoloo, imposing authority not only by his actions and words, but also by his appearance. His black cloak, probably symbolizes the dark/dirty within. The red military uniform reminds us of the blood of fighters killed by him. The sinister cap, with the emblem of Shadoloo, never moves, even when in a deadly combat.

Secret Point 48106 (Thailand)
A middle-aged man is reading a 1 volume file in a white room at ICPO interrogatory facility.
"Deep hypnosis experiment, carried out with a person found adrift near Secret Point 48106, and the report of the respective experiment"
Name: Allen (last name unknown)
Sex: Male
Age: 30 years, approximately
Progress report
As a secret agent status of the special group investigating Shadoloo, we understand that the element mentioned above, the said experiment object, is an important witness, so we conducted the interrogatory.

  • First, Allen was taken to a solitary cell. When he was closed in a completely dark room, he, who until then had not shown any reaction, began talking to himself.
    “He, he, he, the darkness again.”
  • For the sound to better reach his ears (it seems that, his hearing was damaged, perhaps because it has been too long with submerged eardrums in seawater),
    the loudspeaker volume increased and we began the interrogation.
    "What happened?"
    After a while, the man began to respond. "It, it’s the light!"
    Suddenly, he started screaming eee-uuu, scratched his head, ran to a corner and sat cowering.
  • Dr. Daniel Stern, the leading expert in experiments with deep hypnosis, also participated in the experiment. Allen was transferred from a solitary cell confinement, where he was until then, to Dr. Stern’s special therapies office. As always, he showed no reaction, which would be normal. However, he demonstrated a certain expression of fear at the word “Psycho Power” mentioned in one of the doctor’s questions.
  • From time to time, Allen gets completely static, staring at nothing, with an expression of dementia. At such times, he even stops breathing. When trying to shake Allen’s body, Dr. Stern had the impression that something was reflecting in his pupils and pulled the chair, dragging it on the ground. "…do not come, do not come here! Stupid giant ant! - shouted.
  • But the most important testimony of this experiment was when Allen was shown the sham light of Vega’s Psycho Power through a false generation device.
    "What are you going to do? I cannot see anything! Really! I could not imagine that people here…"
    After shouting these words, Allen grabbed his belly with his hands, began to release foam from the mouth and lost consciousness. Interestingly, later, we found that at the region of his belly (lower abdominal) there was a large, clear handprint. It is a symptom that we could not recognize before the experiment. His relationship with Vega is being investigated at the present time, however, due to insufficient data, it is believed that it will be difficult to raise evidence of causal relationship.
  • Aware that if carrying forward the experiment could cause irreversible psychological damage to the patient, Dr. Stern gave up. We are left with a puzzle, but we decided to wait Allen’s recovery, who was transferred to the intensive isolation of a federal hospital.
    Rapporteur: Special Secret Agent
    Markovic Douglass

The man closed the file, called an underling in the intercom and gave him an order.
“It seems that the time has finally come. Tell Chun-Li, who is investigating in the Middle East, to head to Secret Point 48106.”/spoiler]

*Only part that would need revision since he technically hasn’t captured Ryu he only has plans to.

Here’s the overseas script to this if anyone else is interested.

Maki Genryusai

(The tonfa-wielding young lady tomboy. Her last name means "Pure Willow Source - 源柳斎 " not “Equal Willow Source - 源柳斉”. It’s Maki-chan’s own deal, so introducing Ms. Maki Genryusai.)

Name: Maki Genryusai
Height: 169cm
Weight: 52kg
Blood type: B
Birthday: August 28,
Home Country: Japan
Favorite things: tapioca, fighting
Dislikes: annoying things, being treated like a girl.

Born into the original house of the Bushin-ryu. Her sister Rena is Guy’s fiancee. She studies under the 38th generational Bushin-ryu arts of ninjutsu. She excels in using tonfa taijutsu. During her younger years, she was the leader of a motorcycle gang. She hates annoying things.

Concept SFV logos

would you guys really be happy if it was down to nixing out the potential of having Cody, Guy and Haggar as a part of the roster for Maki, Carlos and other Final Fight characters?

Not even a little.

http://i.imgur.com/uKSUyTM.jpg

Nice to see it referenced again! (the bold)
Is there going to be a Rena bio at some point? That would be great!

I really wish Guy or Maki would mention Rena at some point in a win quote or something if they make it into V! :slight_smile:

Yea, that’s something I always forget about Maki. At first, I always thought she was chasing Guy because she had a thing for him, but she more than likely chases him so he won’t skip out on his proposal to her sister (and to beat him for the title of master of course).

Something cool I found out on the concept SFV logos

http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/common/img/chara_back.jpg

You have to tell us what it means, or we don’t know why it’s cool. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s not what it says that’s cool (it’s just SFV written in kana with a kanji 5). The cool part is that they choose to use this design of the logo for the backdrop of the character profile stats.

Ahh, okay.

Maki :heart: heart: heart: heart: heart: heart: heart:

I’d totally love to see Maki kick Guy’s ass for Rena’s sake!
I want to know what Rena has been doing since Final Fight 2. C’mon, Capcom!

It looks like Maki is 5’7" 114lbs. This makes her the lightest woman in the Street Fighter universe as of SFV.

Mai Shiranui… take her tits and fan away replace it with tongfas and blonde hair and you got Maki.

also I don’t know why theres people disagreeing with my post before? I was asking a question. Because people seemed hype about these boring ass characters from Final fight 2. It was not a statement.

She’s a ninja so she’s gotta be light on her feet.

Also, I wondered why the entry had different writings for her last name Genryusai, with hers only different by one character which in itself is only different by 3 extra strokes (When comparing 斉 and 斎 in her last name). Turns out when using her last name 源柳斎 the 3 extra strokes are 小 which can mean “small or little” are placed under the 斉 to make up the character 斎.

In short, (I think) it just means she’s the smaller (“offspring or daughter”) of her father Genryusai or “源柳斉” (“斉” without the “小”)

I’m guessing they’re making this clarification now as her name had been spelled like her fathers beforehand in the past “源柳斉•真紀” (“斉” without the “小”).

I guess this would be her own personal way she writes her surname to distinguish herself from her father.

Apparently according to the Japanese Wikipedia Maki only is only referenced as spelling her last name “源柳斉•真紀” (“斉” without the “小”) in the Japanese instruction manual of Final Fight 2 (pictured above). Although during the actual game and subsequently any game she appears in afterwards her last name is spelt “源柳斎•真紀” (“斉”+“小”=“斎”).

I think Maki and Kolin might be my most favourite female characters in Street Fighter. I guess it’s the hairstyles lol

On general i don’t give extreme fucks about the opportunity of have the original FF trio in SFV

[list]
[] Really want Cody (FF version) in the game
[
] Like Guy but will give to Carlos his slot, he’s as cool and more unique (look, nationality, style) and new
[] Don’t particular need Haggar, as i will like get some big grappler more far from Gief, at least Azam look more different, and seem he may have an interessing moveset if he can create tornados. But also an Hugo-like giant char will be welcome (but not Hugo)
[
] Absolutely don’t need Maki and hope don’t happen
[] Maybe give Abel a Dean tribute costume and call it a day
[
] Maybe give Cammy a Lucia tribute costume and call it a day
[/list]

That speaking about heroes

Counting villains i will like to see Belger as trickster character, and Sodom can be a legit return

Said that i take ANY Final Fight char over dolls or female prowrestler

Of recent sketches
Carlos and Cyborg > all the bs

I guess Capcom of Japan even fumbles the script from manual to their own game. Even old man Genryusai’s name changes from manual to the game just like Maki’s (源柳斉 is now 源柳斎). So I’m guessing Capcom just now made it official how to spell Maki’s last name. It’s pretty interesting how they didn’t have a conform way of writing it in the beginning.

Also, anyone notices how Kiki is probably the only artist who draws Maki actually smiling.
