The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

@bakfromon and @Daemos
About Datta:

All About Street Fighter Zero 3 states that Sally is pregnant, 4 or 5 months, since Dhalsim seems to be away for 4 months before Sally tells him about her pregnancy. This overrides his Z2 ending. Its not a AAC mistake… Also, Datta being penpal with Chris/Amy being only 3yo is kinda impossible. Also, back in SF2 days, I don’t remember any source saying that Dhalsim didn’t have Datta before the SF2 tournament ( I could be wrong…)… In Sf4, Datta seems to be at least 8-9 yo…

There’s no telling of what is/what’s not canon in the Zero series anymore… I’m pretty sure the Cinematic story won’t address anything about Vega’s supposed suicide, SF2 or how ordinay hackers built 7 Black Moons in less than 6 months…

Nash’s “death” in Z2… well, AASFZ3 mentions that his yellow vest is bulletproof, so he could have survived the gunshots and falling the waterfall (severely injured).

Also…

Spoiler

From Helen’s reaction in SF5 cinematic, it seems that Nash have been unconscious since falling from the waterfall (god, how I wish that they could have animated or enacted it in Resurrection), that would give us a 3-4 year spam…

@bakfromon, I was translating the CFN profiles for the brazilian site… And I noticed that the profiles in the new plot guide is from the english language… why? I noticed that Eliza Masters have a completely different “Dislikes”, one says “voice mail”, the other “staying at home”. Could you make a note about it? Thanks!

From this one:

It’s the Dhalsim’s SSF2X pic.

Removed.

Anyway. I guess when they made Alpha 3 they intended some of it to retcon Alpha 2. Many Alpha 1/2 endings did not actually place in the context of the Alpha series (which again was meant to take place about 5 years before SF2), so retconning Sim’s ending (no matter how retarded it is) would’ve been in line with what Capcom were doing at the time.

However, Alpha 3 itself does not retcon the Alpha 2 ending and this matters above all else.

Actually none of that matters because SF4 took a shit on all of that.

Datta is now either an 8-9 year old kid who was born 2-3 years before Alpha 2 or a really articulate and gifted 5-6 year old born during Alpha 2. Pick your poison. :scream:

Thanks for the input.

Also, I think about the first 20 or so of the profiles I used are from the English site, mainly the ones I felt were more fitting than my own translations from previously. Good catch on the Eliza thing I’ll make sure to note it.

Edit: It should be “caretaking” which would be staying at home I guess so good call I’ll be sure to change it.

Yeah, Charlie never actually died. He was just unconscious (though Helen thought he was dead). So no, Charlie is not a zombie.

Helen is a liar.

Actually, It doesn’t explain the grey parts (grafts) of his skin… If his Zero 3 ending was retconned, so I guess he got those when he rescued Abel from the burning laboratory 5 years prior the events of SFIV. Unless that ALSO was retconned…

@Daemos, SF4 and SF5 is around at least 1 and a half to 2 years apart. I base my claim on Mel’s age and the fact that he can pronounce words clearly. A baby starts to pronounce clear words and form phrases around 1 and a half year, give or take.
Since he was born right after SF4 tournament, either Rashid’s prologue is set way earlier than the SF5 events, or… Capcom making shitty connections again.

Also, Chun-Li “adopting” Li-Fen’s seems to be after 3rd Strike. Unless she was taken into Shadoloo’s protection, gone home with Chun-Li and then captured by the Secret Society, only to be saved… my guess is that Urien will capture her right after SF5 story mode. Why is she so inportant? I dunno. Maybe she’s a spare body just like Ed…

Also, I remember that there was this discussion, but I don’t remember how it ended… if it’s called Secret Society, why people calls it Illuminati? Is there any official statement for it? I don’t remember it being mentioned in the overseas releases of SF3…

What makes you say that?

Well, that likely isn’t here real name for one thing

Helen is Twelve.

Now you’ve gone and gotten Bison excited…

True. But you have to give her credit for saving Charlie from death.

Why? She’s probably lying.

Here’s the Alpha 2/Gold album with boss dialogue and endings:

This is much bigger than the Alpha 1 album. I’m pretty sure the Alpha 3 endings will make both look minuscule by comparison.

I thought it was pretty interesting that there was no ending for Cammy in Gold back then. I believe Alpha Anthology was the first game where she was given an actual ending. For those who haven’t seen it:

Hope you guys enjoy.

And here we have the japanese version for comparison.

Well, if she didn’t save Charlie from death, who did?

Rashid’s friend of course…or rashid himself since he’s a nice guy and all.
