The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

[Jion_Wansu]

Hmmm… Necalli feeding on Bison doesn’t make much sense. From what Dhalsim says to Ryu in the scenes we’ve seen it looks like Necalli is a guardian spirit that absorbs human souls in order to become stronger and save the Earth from its doom. His goal is probably to destroy Bison since he’s the one who put the moons in the sky.
If it’s actually like those 20 minutes suggest it to be, then Necalli’s character is deeper than I thought. He’s actually both a good and a bad guy - bad guy working for the good. He reminds me a little of the dragons in Chrono Cross in that he’s a guardian of the planet that can kill human beings to save it.

Sounds like some Mortal Kombat stuff…

Dan looks like he had a pretty rough time between SFIV and now, dude’s all dirty and shit

He missed out on the SF2 tournament because he couldn’t afford to pay his phone bill…

Just notice that Ken is the only character who hasent been show in the story mode so far
my guess is that they are updating and fixing his visual

People have complained so he’s been censored!

BornFree is theorizing that Ken’s isn’t being shown because they have redesigned his face.

Not that i hope it does’nt happen, but sound like bullshit… Alax face is even worse and he’s in the videos

Alex’s face isn’t near Ken’s level. Honestly I think the issue with Alex’s face is purely lighting. I hate his pajama costume be he looks much younger in it. It’s the same face model. Honestly Ken’s face only looks awkward the character select screen. The issue seems to be with the rigging of the face model. Ibuki’s face shows a similar issue when she smiles in her victory animation. Face looks fine until she smiles.

Feel kinda the opposite… both look terrible in VS screen, but ingame Ken look bad but less terrible.
Alex old man shit, strange nose, Mick Jagger mouth stay steady bad both VS and ingame.

Tbh if (when) they do a SF3 costume DLC i can be ok if they fix (totally) his face even just there, i will never use another Alex alt lol

Plus outside face (and banana hairs) Ken got a kinda loyal to the character 3d model, with Alex model they missed almost every design point of Alex as char
They even ignored Bengus’s SFV concept

I know one can say “2D to 3D transition is hard”, but thing is, they did a good stylization job with almost every other char

I write that as person overall satisfied by SFV 3D models

He doesn’t look like an old man with this costume.

design stuff

Spoiler

It’s less bad than other two (as face, as costume is the worse), but still it’s a bad 3D model of Alex

Face shape (jaw-chin-cheekbones) , mouth and nose are still completely wrong
As result even in this version he look like another char and older than SF3 Alex (when in SFV technically should be even younger)

And again, to that add body proportions being wrong too, when with Ken at least they got that loyal to artworks/concepts

Some SFV characters models have been commissioned to external modellers, will not be surprized if same happened with Alex

Some just not understand Capcom stylization key points, simple as that.
It’s the same thing for when you see an Artgerm or Kiki piece and they don’t feel like “true” Capcom design

Costume aside (Bengus sketch was kinda cool for a redesign if modellers followed it) THIS is Alex

http://www.technobuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Street-Fighter-III-Alex.jpg

SFV KEN is surprizing loyal to his own concept (example see the dark eyes of the little asian vibe on his design), but just bad execution

SFV ALEX is wrong as concept as start, completely unloyal to the original design (not about the new costume), then i’m not so sold on execution, but that’s secondary as problem

You got lower execution (lower poly games) Alex versions that feel more loyal because they at least got the design key points
Like the cancelled Capcom Fighting All Stars or Tatsunoko

Get that understanding of the concept + SFV graphic and you will get a good Alex

Ironically SFV Nash have a more Alex-face than SFV Alex himself

[DarthEnder]

It’s really gross that the best 3D models for SF characters is still TvC. And that’s a freakin’ Wii game…

[ruthless_nash]

1 million % agreed with the above statment.

[StockyJam]

Alex actually looks like Alex in TvC

[CityHunter]

As much as alex look bad his animation are pretty well done.

Story anyone?

[AriesWarlock]

Damn, those TVC models look better than MVC3 models.

[Doctrine_Dark]

Story anyone?

Bison is coming. Protect your ass.

[DarthEnder]

Damn, those TVC models look better than MVC3 models.

Indeed. If you took that art style and did it up in GGXrd’s engine…that would pretty much be the best SF could possibly look.

[The_Shakunetsu]

While SF4 has better graphic and 3d model implementation in the game even in cut scenes because it isn’t rush.
Unlike SFV where there are clippings and SF4 has better static close up faces than SFV.
MVC3 and TVC has better design of close up faces than SFV and SF4 but its more flat and lack of detail.
I like cell shaded than regular 3d but for TVC it kinda lack of detail than what GGxrd had been.
Overall SF V is superior in detail and art direction for body proportion than SF4, MVC3 and TVC
but SFV failed in implementation because of rushing and focusing on other areas.
Maybe the development of SF4 is well planned than SFV.
SFV like SF4 is semi realistic while cellshaded games were like anime styled

[Super_Sonic]

Story anyone?

You want story? Here’s some story for you (Ibuki Story Mode):

[Fretless94]

Another character story, another asskicking for Birdie (This time, quite literally).
Anyway, here’s Rolento.

[DarthEnder]

Yeeeeeah! We’re getting down to it now!

Sakura, Juni, Juli, Gill, Twelve, Hakan and Decapre.

[Midgardsorm]

Rolento

The military man who uses knives, wires and rods!
Ex member of Mad Gear.
He rolls everywhere!

Name: Rolento
Height: 180cm
Weight: 81kg
Blood Type: 0
Birthday: November 15
Home Country: USA
Favorite things: Orders, Control
Dislikes: Weakness, Laziness

He continues to take arms in order to realize his utopian state.
His absurd dream is of a state where all his citizens must be soldiers.
His belief never falters, no matter how much you insult or flatter him.

Definitely not a type I’d like to have as a boss…

[StockyJam]

I like cell shaded than regular 3d but for TVC it kinda lack of detail than what GGxrd had been.

lets keep in mind TvC is from 2008 and was SD graphics and not HD graphics. Still beautiful though.

[mykka]

Always gonna love Rolento!

Ibuki’s storyline is meh, as expected.

I think I will never be content with SF5’s story until I see someone kick the shit out of Karin (by Vega or Bison preferably). This Mary Sue shtick is tiring.

Looks like the shit is gonna hit the fan first while everyone is at the Kanzuki estate. Hence why Ken tells Karin over the phone to watch over Mel and Eliza.
