The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Frenchmen and now this? You have serious trust issues, man.

Fools and Street Fighter characters that can’t win a fight on their own.

“Are you an otaku too?”

'I need that win, keep your hands off it."

The June update is coming next week

Do we have a specific date? “Next week” is a little vague.

But seriously, CAN’T WAIT!!! SO HYPED!!!

Next week is not a date Capcom. Give. Me. A Date!!!

**Ok, so Rose defeated Bison. So that would make Rose at least more powerful than (or possibly on par with) Bison, but I don’t know how strong Juri is. How would Rose fare against Juri in a fight (story-wise)? **

Rose only beat Bison in Alpha 2. The far more powerful Final Bison had no trouble tearing through her in Alpha 3. In SF4, Rose is shown somewhat winded after fighting Seth, so we can deduce it was probably a tough fight. In Seth’s win quote to Rose, he says her power is similar but inferior to Bison’s. So, Bison is most definitely more powerful than Rose.

With the way their endings are portrayed, Bison and Juri are significantly superior to Seth. I think Juri beats Rose, but Rose would put up a better fight than Chun and Cammy.

I agree with this way of think

Rolento was the exception and kinda unique with grenades, but he was mainly a staff fighter

Ideally SF as concept should main be about martial arts clash of style and traditions, not a marvel comic style shit where anybody bring in whatever he feel

But again i’m ok with the kind of weapons you listed

About swords my 2cent

Will be fine if they
-Make a kendo fighter with wood sword, it will respect both the blunt “rule” and katana classic moves
-Make Carlos as a mix of bare-hands fighting and the sword-still-in-sheath attacks, and let him use the blade only as V-Trigger and maybe ex-specials
-In case of western fencing make a char that use a stronger version of sport-fencing rapier, used basically as a stick/riding crop (think Poison)

This gif is DELICIOUS. I miss those intros and boss pre-fight quotes.

The only real problem with guns is that story wise, most of the time the characters are NOT trying to kill each other. Guns or even bladed weapons feel kinda awkward unless you are a murderous mofo like Claw. I understand that Ibuki’s kunais and grenades are part of her ninja style, but even them are not fine imo. At least they feel a hell lot less lethal than guns.

proceeds fighting Solid Snake with his sword.

I dont the idea of a gun based fighter in SF but Sharon has a fkin rifle in sfex2 and rolento has grenades lol. It might be possible if used in a limited capacity.

Btw is Shion a dude? Wtf

That was after he put his sword away.

“That’s good snake, now we can fight as warriors. Hand-to-hand. It is the basis of all combat. Only a fool trusts his life to a weapon.”

Shion was originally supposed to be Ron’s (Striker for Zero in KOF 01) daughter, but they made Shion into a male because they liked the idea of a strong male with a feminine appearance. Something along those lines.

I don’t see how Juri could beat Seth from the endings. Juri finished off a Seth that was already beaten to a pulp. At most she would be on par with Seth, but stronger would be a point of contention I think. I don’t think people give Seth enough credit for how powerful he can potentially be.

E-Harmony can hook you up with a date

I was under the impression that Juri fought Seth alone. In Bison’s ending, he tore the Tanden Engine off of Seth, while Juri smashed it completely in hers.

I don’t think you could make a scenario where both fought #15 Seth and both destroyed his Tanden afterwards. You’d most likely have to choose the outcome you believe took place.

Seth is powerful, but Juri’s introduction seemed to imply she was the new top-dog with her constantly encountering Bison. It’s funny how quickly he’s disregarded once she enters the picture.
