The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

So the update is gonna go live on July 1 midnight (pacific time). Still missed the deadline but with Ibuki, Balrog, two new stages, and new costumes coming out, as well as the story mode, Capcom, in my eyes, has finally redeemed themselves from that bad launch.

And Oh my god! I absolutely LOVE the Kanzuki beach stage as well as Karin’s bikini costume. Street Fighter has adapted a DOA persona to the game )fighting on beaches, in the water, in bikini’s now?.

(Also, is it possible that I can get a two-piece swimsuit costume for Chun-Li, Capcom? You feelin’ me eh? Huh? huh? right! Okay!!! :o )

Juri would get it

Only Karin has the bikini costume ?

Looks great but i hope all other characters get summer themed costumes this year. I’m dying to see Fan…i mean Cammy.

Urien looking baws

From rags

To riches

So, Urien has the plunging neckline from the artwork but Juri doesn’t. Sexist.

Isnt that Chun behind her?

Something cool about Juri’s new costume is that it’s still the antithesis of Chun Li’s, but this time her Alpha costume.

Skin tight athletic suit with a jacket vest, bare arms and hands, and covered feet.

skin tight athletic suit with jacket, sleeves cover arms and hands, and uncovered feet.

My thought is that they will both be season 2 material

Like Season 1 got 3 SF3 reps, i can see them bring some SF4 (Abel/Viper) in season 2

Kinda like probably when (not if) Cody will arrive (S3?) it will probably be with one or more FFers (imho Eternal will finally get Haggar)

Also story quote say that Abel found Sagat training in the mountains, and both imho have good chances… i can see them in the same season, due that simple story explanation.
Like Abel convincing Sagat to return and so on

Imho a realistic season 2 will be

C.Viper
Abel
Sagat
Sakura
Sean
Oro

Not a season that i will like too much (watching names S1 is more hype), but still a decent one

Of these all got already story hints of them, Sagat is the only one with a very weak one (Abel’s quote), but he’s very popular and developers themselves said he almost did it in start cast

Only thing that will piss me off a bit is that i was hoping for some new characters too… SFV already got the best cast ever, now i was hoping to see some new faces

SF3 revolutionized too much, i like muh Giefs, Dictators, Cammys and Claws in SF to feel at home (Sagat and Fei for SFV pls).
Plus i don’t buy theyr japmarketing bullshit of everyone new is awesome and better than old chars

SF4 got a great SF cast, but for a such big number of slots has been a bit too shy with new stuff

I hope for SFV they find a middle way, with current cast SFV already “feel SF”, so there is no risk of another weird feeling SF3… only risk as now is be as shy as SF4

I’d like to have seen Natsu playing beach volleyball on that new stage.

But, hey, we have a monkey raping surfing a turtle.

Except Laura, once she technically wears a bikini in her “bonita” outfit. She’ll be naked by the look of it.

Very good list and quite possible.

It’s kind of sad the very little amount of characters of the game, and adding only 6 per year or so. It’s impossible to please everyone but there are some great character cores they should be able to attend:
[list]
[] Street Fighter II leftovers (Blanka, Honda, Fei Long, Sagat)
[
] Street Fighter IV (we haven’t seen any of that satisfied yet, apart from the upcoming Juri)
[] Final Fight (Guy or Cody, I’m sure some people will miss them; also Haggar, Maki or Sodom are highly requested)
[
] Street Fighter III (I’m pretty sure Yun, Dudley, Makoto and Dudley are going to be missed by many)
[/list]

Sean has never been my cup of tea but for storyline reasons he has a right to get into. As for others like Oro and Sakura… I just don’t know, their gameplays can be a little half-assed, effective yes but not that interesting (specially Sakura). C. Viper doesn’t seem necessary in this moment, either.

The fact Rival Schools and Street Fighter have now potentially been rolled into one universe opens up potential RS characters as playable…

Pft, bikini…who needs that when you got that badass suit?

I dont think Sean is needed in S2, hope he isnt. Viper seems to play a bigger role in storymode than him

Ibuki+Rog same day
Urien
Juri
Beach stage
Tiffany boobs
Summer pack?

Bwahahahaha fuck dolls updates, finally some hype worthy stuff!

That’s a pandora’s box I don’t think they’d like to open. Some characters kind of overlap with the ones of Street Fighter, and things like bringing Batsu and making him the new protagonist or something, would look wrong.

They would mostly limit to cameos like what they’ve done with Final Fight but in this case I don’t see them adding playable characters. Game’s already have many mouths to feed (III series, IV series, Final Fight, none of them get enough representation), they shouldn’t add one more.

Too sad since I’d kill to have Akira Kazama permanently joining to the Street Fighter cast. Kyosuke is awesome as well and I think he could fit, but if they’re not willing to give characters like Remy a chance, I don’t think they’d be too fond of giving a spot to Rival School characters.

Why would they do that? Cody is the protagonist of Final Fight and they put him in SF no problem. He didn’t take some other character’s spot to do it.

We might get those profile things for Hinata and Tiffany. Heres hoping we somehow get Kyosuke in SF!
