The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

My first thought, "Wow…"
Very cool of Capcom to showcase the Matsuda family!

New Sean design keep being cool

Fabio look still a total hipster douchebag + boring shoto. Don’t want that shit in SFV

The capoeira brothers both look cool, but after Laura and likely Sean, i think we have enough brazilians in SFV, Elena+Africa stage pls

Grandpa is awesome.
Like totally awesome, after Oro, another tribute to Helio Gracie (just imagine him with stache+cloud hairs lol)

If you look closely, you’ll see that Sean is back to being tan skinned, opposed to… this

No it’s called paying attention. Cammy’s height and weight in SSF2 was 5’5" 101lbs. Cammy like every other fighter in SFV was given a more realistic weight.

Edit: Matsuda family news explosion. So much to take in. I’ll have to check it out when I get home from work. I did notice that Laura and Sean are the same height but Sean only weighs 150lbs. Laura is 159lbs.

Grandad Kinjiro, grandma, and by extension Yuichiro are full-blooded Japanese. Brenda’s family is Brazillian. This makes Fabio, Laura, and Sean genetically half-Japanese. This matters because generally more Japanese = more ki use. Ken is still 3/4 Japanese, and look how his style evolved compared to Ryu.

Oh God… finally, true Brazilian names (Breanda, Laura, Fabio, Pedro, Luiza, Manuela and Enzo)
only a correction, the last name here in Brazil is “da Silva”


Q and Oro

Update: Kinjiro

Wait, why are the family members on the right (branching from Brenada) marked with checkered lines?

Also

Yung Heihachi

Because that’s Brenda’s direct family the “da Silvas”.

Thanks for the corrections.

I would actually be cool with Enzo/Manuela instead of another Matsuda

On the variety point of view maybe i will prefer Enzo instead Sean, but imho is’nt going to happen

Brenda Matsuda’s shirt says Boa Esposa which means “Good Wife”

Manuela should’ve been in instead of Laura. Especially if Capcom isn’t intending on adding Sean to the roster

Are you saying this based on something that’s been said by Capcom?

I’m saying this based on the amount of shotos in SFV roster if we got Ryu, Ken, Sakura, Akuma and Sean

If either of the De Silva’s get added it will be Enzo. There is already one playable female Capoeira practitioner in Elena. I doubt Manuela would get the nod because of that.

Well, to be fair, Sean wouldn’t even be a shoto seeing as he’s not Ken’s student yet. I’d imagine he’d probably play similar to Laura.

Sorry to deviate from the current discussion, but did anyone else notice that the magazine Seans reading about Ken has the Shotokan symbol on the page?

Just thought it was a neat in game reference. Does this infer that Ken actually teaches Shotokan instead of the nameless art that Gouken taught him?

Sean isn’t a “Shoto” though. That said, I don’t see him getting added in season 2. Sakura probably has the best shot out of those you listed.

Btw is fun, the Matsudas are basically SF universe Gracies, but mixed with the Machidas (nationality and family composition)

Even the family composition is similar: Stache jap dad, brazilian mom, older son martial arts genius and calm, middle son (Laura) more hothead aggressive fighter, younger son

Machidas

Lol, Laura is Chinzo

Basically the Machidas, with Helio Gracie as Grandpa and Kyra Gracie (+Crysty Mack haircut/pornstar body lol) instead Chinzo
Kyra

Mack

ps. it’s fun that Christy Mack was the gf of a mixed martial artist (that beated the shit out of her later and now he’s in jail iirc)

Christy Mack and Laura don’t have the same hair style. There is a big difference between cornrows and a shaved head.
