The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Damn, that sounds awesome. I really like their opening sequence towards each other in Capcom Vs SNK 2. Rodem basically growls at Bison and Rugal tells him he’s going to take his Psycho Power. In the Japanese version, there was also special unique quotes between teammates, which I wish was in the US version. I can just imagine what a convo between Rugal and Bison would look like.

Q being Dorai will be wrong on so many levels, lol

On the other hand it’s cool they linked him tp C.Viper, season 2 for both imho

Yeah that opening is bad-ass.

And thanks. I ran a tabletop game that was KOF & SF in the same universe and it was quite fun

Remember that just because they’re already in the game doesn’t mean they won’t get a bio.

After all, Birdie has one.

True, but that mainly goes for characters where they’ve changed a fair amount over the series (Birdie) or can be mentioned with a group of characters (Masters Family). I don’t expect Zangief or Dhalsim to get a bio.

Wow, that might have been the closest thing we could get to Vulcano Rosso. Fuck you Capcom for ditching him for worse designs. :@

of course this means q is unlikely to be in sfv anytime soon. I hope my girl Makoto gets in there at some point. Vtrigger is obviously the power up rage thing.

TBH it’s weird to assume that if there’s a character that has a CFN website entry then it automatically means they aren’t getting into SFV. Of course we won’t see the likes of Q or Viper this year, but literally any character could get in the rostr in 2017 and beyond. Heck there’s no guarantee they shall remain in their outfits we see them in now

Ken technically has an entry and he’s already in the game.

Oro

Country of origin unknown? Seriously Capcom?

My point for C.Viper and Q in season 2 is simple

Imho Bengus sketches in story mode give an hint about who we can get in close (S1 dlc) or relatively close (S2) future

C.Viper appear, and that imho mean that they may want add her in S2… from there linking Q to her may be used as link to bring him in SFV

Same for Abel, getting a role in Guile story mode may have a purpose

Wich make sense, if Capcom want some SF4 rep in SFV (and i think they want) Abel and C.Viper are the 2 most generally accepted of the 4 SF4 newcomers, since Rufus and Elf were mostly hated (then audience like way worse chars, but this is another story)

Q ranked well in the polls iirc

Basically my point is that Capcom will use story to justify in characters they think will please the audience while trying to put in SF3/4 reps

I expect DLCers we still have to see (Juri, Rog, Ibuki, Urien) will hint in theyr story mode more candidates for S2

As now watching story it seem

Oro
Sakura
Abel
C.Viper
Ed
Decapre
Sean
Azam

Have some decent chances to be S2 material

Isn’t Oro Japanese? Don’t know why they’re leaving it ambiguous.

Especially out of those characters, ones with signficant redesigns stand-out more imo.

(The mysterious old man who uses Senjutsu! He’s so old that he even considers Dhalsim to be a youngster! He’s the living fossil of the fighting world!)

Name: Oro
Height: 161cm
Weight: 71kg
Blood Type: Unknown
Birthday: Unknown
Country of Origin: Unknown
Favorite things: turtle, goodies
Dislikes: boredom

The legendary hermit, who is said to live in a cave deep within isolated reaches of the Amazon. He is a wielder of a powerful senjutsu, a supernatural power he can use to lift boulders. Being that he’s far too strong the man seals one of his arms out of his own volition. He’s over 130 years old and rumors have it that he’s a descendant of a ninja who came from Japan.

Also for anyone questioning why Oro is listed as not being from Japan keep in mind Akuma is also listed as having an unknown country of origin even though both his master and brother are listed as being from Japan.

At least they keep the connotation that Oro may have descendants who are Japanese.

Akuma and Oro are so removed from society that their country of origins have become irrelevant to them.

Maybe some of the characters that are being excluded thus far will return in S2 with significant redesigns? I’m looking at Sakura and Cody.

I hope Cody’s out of jail by the time he’s playable in SFV.

Just people with redesigns in general. Characters like Viper and Sean who have complete redesigns I think have fairly good chances.

Gouki’s quotes in Japanese indicate he is more like a vampire instead of a demon.
Demitri Maximof from Darkstalkers is closer to what Akuma could have been and the best equivalent to SNK’s Rugal

Hmmm…
I wonder when the Dolls do finally get featured, will their Country of Origin also be “Unknown”?
Since these files are supposed to be from the perspective of Shadaloo, I wonder if everything in general will be under “Unknown” or “Classified”.

That would be SO boring! They’re already so empty as it is. How much new information will we get?

Q is a master of his own martial art: Flailing his arms all around and shit.

That wouldn’t make sense since Shadaloo captured each of the girls themselves, so the country of origin should definitely be known to them
