Whoot for the power of info, congrats on the upgrade bakfromon!

Hmm Maki and Guy awesome that FF is still getting some love! I wonder who’s next! pleasebepostprisonCodypleaseohpleaseohplease

Streetwise Guy is best gai.

I guess there was a bit of irony to Guy being released as the 39th character.

Guy being introduced as the 39th story character because he’s the 39th Bushin-ryu successor! (by chance)

Strange coincidence, I’m glad even the producers caught the occurrence on the site.

Hey, bak and crew. Here’s the Slam Masters album:

I believe you already did Haggar’s profile, so I left him out. Hope this is good. Let me know if anything is needed! Gonna start putting the FF characters together in a album.

Would be pretty ironic if he were to be the 39th character in the roster lol.

Guy, Season 4 confirmed!?

One of the last two characters in the season, no less.

New concept characters

Byron Taylor
(Guile’s superior)

@bakfromon is this new?

Some rejected character designs from SFV

Indeed!

Edit: I actually mentioned Tailor a few months ago in the character relation chart. I got the arrows switched up and thought it meant Guile was Tailor’s boss, but it’s the other way around (Tailor is Guile’s boss).

Well, we finally know who that guy is. People can stop saying it’s Balrog now.

(He appears in the recently included stage. He’s a fairly important figure. He’s also an enemy of Shadaloo!)

Name: Byron Tailor
Height: 196cm
Weight: 102kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: September 3
Home Country: United States
Favorite things: work, sports
Dislikes: Shadaloo

He’s a ranking United States Air Force general who’s Guile’s superior. He was born in Texas. He’s tough and loves to work. He’s a master in combat sambo. His work first philosophy has somewhat weakened his domestic life. He owns a small private plane. He’s also a dog lover and owns 5 bulldogs. His most hated thing is listed as “Shadaloo”. How hateful!

Also, if the new scrapped concept character doesn’t remind me of Hokuto…

Why must Capcom always scrap the cool designs? Here’s hoping she could show up in a future season.

Dammit! Where’s Cody!

Seems like the first two(the American football girl and the Canadian hockey girl) got combined into Maple Storm. Glad neither made it because characters whose fighting style is just sports is dumb. At least Maple WAS a football player and is now a wrestler.

Crab Fist fighter - I like the version with the cool gauntlets, but not the version with robot arms.

Canadian Sasquach fighter - Stupid as hell, eventually became Necalli.

South American assassin - Pretty cool design

Asuka - Aikido

WAAAANT!!

Elizabeth - Savate

Also want. Though I prefer the first design as it doesn’t involve a character fighting in a long dress and high heels.

Sooo yea, apparently “Mapel Storm” started out as a potential concept idea for a SF character.

Only she’s conceptualized as an American Footbal Player

I think they crossed the concept with this Canandian Hockey girl to make Mapel Storm Canadian

This crustacean assassin guy was actually featured in SFV oversea’s collectors book, along with the Yeti

This guy’s a Brazilian Assassin who was pitted against with Necalli to be in th game.

And this is Elizabeth. She’s a French Savate user who’s weak against projectiles so she wears armor. She’s also a fairly rich antiques dealer.

Apparently the developers are aware of how many fighters of noble heritage are in the game so they decided to scrap her.

(Also, they decided to scrap Asuka because there are “too many Japanese representatives”)

They feel the game has too much Japanese yet 5 characters in the game (including DLC) are American. WTF Capcom.

I think it’s a weaksauce excuse too. I actually like the designs of Liz and Asuka too, compared to Yeti, crab assassin, and the sports twins.
Beside’s Gen’s potential student those are the only others I’m kinda disappointed they were scrapped.

Now I’m wondering what the text on the rejected designs page says

Elizabeth doesn’t have to be a noble if she’s an antiques dealer. She could obtain her armor through her job, rather than through her family.

Since she collects antiques, her rivalry could be with Necalli, trying to steal his clothes. :stuck_out_tongue:
