The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Just look at his Second Impact and Third Strike endings, the Shun Goku Satsu has nothing on those techniques.

Doctrine_Dark · June 14, 2016, 1:23am

Yeah, I was always a big fan of his Second Impact ending where he splits Ayers Rock with his fist. Now that was a cool display of power.

YagamiFire · June 14, 2016, 1:24am

Exactly. If the SGS was some win-button he wouldn’t bother developing new techniques since they’d be inherently weaker and less useful…when that is exactly opposite of the reality. His shit in SF3 is FAR stronger than what the SGS is supposed to be.

Daemos · June 14, 2016, 1:25am

Well Akuma would arguably never went on to develop those moves if his SGS didn’t fail so spectacularly against Gouken in his SF4 ending, likely costing him the fight.

-> Says all weapon wielding dolls are awesome

-> says Fevrier should stay an NPC

-> Fevrier is dual-wielding two sub machine guns

Being awesome doesn’t make one good as a playable character

Hawkingbird · June 14, 2016, 1:59am

Would having a gun make her a bad playable character?

Spinning_Beat · June 14, 2016, 2:09am

If her CA was whipping out two SMG’s like she’s Laura Croft from fucking tomb raider I would drop Vega in an instant. She could be the new worst character in the game and lose to Zangief 7-3 and FANG 9-1. I would still at least sub that bitch.

Darc_Requiem · June 14, 2016, 2:13am

This isn’t Mortal Kombat. It’s bad enough Rolento is chucking grenades.

Doctrine_Dark · June 14, 2016, 2:50am

I still remember the days where I thought T. Hawk acquiring a gun (In AE) was legit. Little did I know…

PVL_93_RU · June 14, 2016, 3:37am

This is fucking hype

SilverEyedJackal · June 14, 2016, 3:42am

Hope so! I’m waiting on that.

Hawkingbird · June 14, 2016, 3:44am

Street Fighter 5 won’t even have a tournament setting. A character with a gun won’t be bad in this instance

T7’s story mode trailer is out…

This means war!

Another asshole surviving SGS, Akuma keep flopping

Whats funnier about this is Heihachi is just a strong asf dude. Every other survivor has been some sort of SnH nigga. Heihachi top tier confirmed.

Gen is also just a strong as fuck dude.

The SnH really isn’t some end-all be-all attack that people have built it up to be. The absolute bullshit of “take people to hell” thing hyped it to stupid levels.

It’s just a VERY fast, devastating physical assault. That’s all.

Heihachi can take it/defend it just like any other uber-high level martial artist. It’s a powerful, awesome attack…but is not the delete button of the universe. Hell, the major danger of it is to the practitioner unless mastered.

I wanted to let you all know that I have lurked this thread for months after the story mode update announcements finally manned up and made an account.

Amazing work everybody with the translations, theories, and nutter-y.

DarthEnder · June 14, 2016, 4:59am

Yes. A thousand times yes.

A. You don’t know that.

B. Even if this game doesn’t, future games might. So then, they’ll have created this playable character, that might not be appropriate for future games in the series.

Which would be really stupid when they have a half-a-dozen other characters in the same group that would fit perfectly.

crash_and_burn · June 14, 2016, 5:02am

Wait, wait, wait … If Rolento can chuck grenades and knives, and Ibuki can chuck kunai and bombs … who gives a shit if someone uses guns.

Oh, and Greco-Roman “speedos” are at least “traditional martial arts” shit.

Brooks Brothers is not.

DarthEnder · June 14, 2016, 5:09am

Rolento and Ibuki shouldn’t be using bombs either.

Just because Capcom made some shit design choices doesn’t make it okay for them to just keep making shit design choices.

The existence of Twelve doesn’t make Seth okay. They’re BOTH terrible characters.

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!

http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/Caetano85/censored_zpsl5nsjsyw.jpg

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

[/quote]
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.

http://media.eventhubs.com/images/2016/03/29_alexcolors07.jpg

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

Just to add an image to what i was saying, 10 minutes of photoshop

Capcom pls lol
