Some of the winquotes and stuff talked about by the developers.
Interesting! I think the first picture supposed to be at sunset, with the reddish sun being reflected in her eyes. Knowing her otherwise ditzy personality, Iām guessing sheās trying to make a āfierceā face for a picture.
The only Laura related image we need to discuss is this one.
Openly ironic but damn interesting doodles from my girlfriendās cousin Capcom staff that explain Shadalooās hierarchies and rookiesā life. As written pages ago, they revived Akimanās old concepts and ideas implementing them. Iām also fine with psycho popcorn. Translation needed.

6 Final Fight characters from the same franchise and at the same time? I think someoneās overstimating SFV. I think the game will have like 38 characters maximum, and thereās no way 6 of them are from Final Fight which is not even a Street Fighter game.
This Alpha thing should stop after they add Sodom and probably Eagle. And Iām partial to Maki, I mean, if you want someone to replace Guy sheās the perfect choice. Haggar and Maki would be the best choice for Final Fight characters.
Iād say fuck Rose, Gen, Guy, Adon, Cody, Dan, Sakura and Rolento. Theyāve already been in the immediately previous games.
I actually like this idea of not bringing back the most people from SFIV. As for the Street Fighter III characters, I think Elena, Hugo, Poison, Makoto and Yang have little to zero chances.
Ibuki we can understand that because sheās pretty much the poster girl for the SF3 series, and while Dudley is held in high esteem, I think heās far away from being a āmustā. Maybe another returning character from SF3-SF4 would be Yun, I mean, heās one of the favorite picks.
But after Alex and Urien, the next characters from SF3 to come back would be Sean and Oro, Iām sure, but of them have huge potential. But Twelve, Necro and Remy are pretty much dead on the water.
Now, these would be the next characters in my opinion.
2017
[E. Honda] Someone else from Street Fighter II has to come back, and Honda has potential. You have to drastically change his design and gameplay, to reflect. He could be awesome.
[Sodom] The last missing Alpha character.
**[Maki] **A swift character to bring in some variety. Her story can deal a conflict with Sodom or something.
[Oro] He could be really cool in SFV graphics.
[Yang] Sells.
[New character]
2018
[Sakura] Letās face it, sheās going to return.
[Abel] Street Fighter 4 characters have to come back.
[Sean] Sisterās already in, so he can drop. Might be Sakuraās rival or something.
[Akuma] Whenever he can slip.
[C. Viper] Street Fighter 4 characters have to come back.
[New character]
2019
[Rose] Need more female.
[Haggar] FINALLY.
[Sagat] Well, heās SF2 and heās a legend.
[Dan] Bonus character or whatever.
[Eagle] Some Street Fighter I random?
[New character]
So, on the topic of Final Fight, I have a really strange question: Are the cutscenes/interactions in Final Fight One, a GBA remake of the first Final Fight, canon? Probably not the Alpha Cody/Guy ones, but what about Cody/Guy/Haggar? Some interesting exchanges happen in that game:
-Young Cody is serious and determined; implied to go apeshit when Abigail says Belgerās āhaving funā with Jessica
-When Guy reaches the Sodom fight, Sodom tries to speak Japanese and fails spectacularly
-When Haggar confronts Belger, Belger claims that young people join Mad Gear because itās their best opportunity in the slums of Metro City
-Alpha Cody is kind of creepy; he really enjoys fighting, sort of breaks the 4th wall with Edi.E and Abigail, and really enjoys fighting the bosses
-Alpha Guy, unlike Cody, realizes heās gone back in time to 1989 and wonders if the experience is meant to teach him and Cody something
Whoa whoa whoa. Thatā¦is a whole lot of crazy to take in.
Star Gladiator is supposed to be the āSTAR WARSā saga of the Capcom Universe, right?
āAnoā means ābuttā in Spanish, LOL.
The discussion was mostly about anticipated characters/character requests through the prism of storytelling. There is another thread dedicated entirely for unadulterated and general character requests for this kind of stuff.
Many of the characters in the Shadaloo tree appear in the backgrounds. Curious to know who is that robot-like figure with a āmohawkā.
Anyway, translations badly needed. Cipher? Vasili? Anyone? :how_interesting:
Thought that was mecha Gief.
Some things to point out about the Shadaloo hierarchy bracket. 4 kings aside, Fang may have a set of personal body guards or scientist to himself.
The Dolls also seem to have apprentices, or trainees as well. The guy in the red hood directly under Bison is the āsorcererā featured in the background of the 4 Kings stage, he is labled āSeniorā. Directly under him is āIntermediateā; which are the guyās featured in the hanger stage. This also happens to be Woshigeās rank. Directly under that is āJuniorā, which are the grunts in blue uniform.

Next bracket seemās to be a cyborg, and his subordinate under him. The next one may be a field scout or spy, although Iām not quite sure.
I can make 3 out of the 4 ranks on the far left bracket; chef, surgeon, and radio dj, although the top one alludes me. Public relations possibly; åŗå ±, so maybe a Shadaloo PR agent.
Dude, come on, seriously. āVideosā and āProofā are not mutually exclusive things.
Give up? Nigga, youāve been asked a simple thing - show the magazines youāre referring to that claim about certain material being canon or non-canon.
So if youāre so sure that such magazines carry and weight and substance behind them - why not just show them? Guess what - you realised you have no proof about those magazines existing in the first place - so you back up on your words like a bitch
Fuck outta here and shut the fuck up. Donāt even try to post anything in this thread because from now on weāre just gonna ignore you entirely, since all you do is show a brainless hivemind behavior just because some random japanese noname forum members/magazines depict certain SF-related content as (non)canon
Yeah, because making an Arab character evil is gonna work out really well in these times
Whoa! I have got to learn more about this. AAAAH, I freakinā love breakdowns of how organizations work. I love that weāre finally getting real insight to the structure of Shadaloo.
What I really love is the humorous way it is presented. I love the second image, the energy bar in the pouch kills me, hahaha!
That energy bar is godlike. 800kcal can keep you energized for one year!
Then you can imagine the amount of excess energy Birdie has. Each can of Devil Calorie he drinks are 4000kcal a piece! That on top of everything else he eats, and you can see why he bulked up so quickly. No wonder why heās the heaviest character in canon so far.
Itās pretty much never a good idea to say that X isnāt established as canon when thereās already plenty of evidence that X was already established as canon. Please do yourself a favor and dig into Warriorās Fate a bitā¦
Honestly, I think only having them as non-heel characters is even more insulting by being pandering and treating an entire group of people as delicate flowers. Besides, cultures tend to LOVE kick-ass villains so long as they arenāt playing on maligned stereotypes. Rashid isnāt a religious fanatic or anything of the like. Nor is he an evil spirit or wicked vizier. Additionally, giving him a heel turn wouldnāt have to be making him into Bison Jrā¦it could just be establishing him as a rival of someone else. Give him some more personality.
In fact, the series needs more and better rivals in general. Fuerte was such a missed opportunityā¦he should have been a rudo luchador (as per one of his āevilā alt costumes) and been an amazingly awesome rival to Zangief. Hurricane vs. Cyclone. Itās also a great reversal of David & Goliath if Zangief is the good guy and Fuerte is kind of a cheating douche nozzle. Be even better if itās just the character Fuerte portrays and, otherwise, heās kind of a cool guyā¦but once the mask is on, the rules are out the window becauseā¦TRADITION! Sighā¦what a waste of a characterā¦
Itās the same reason I wish theyād firmly established Dudley as a rival to Ryu with the outcome of their fights being unknown and up in the air in any given confrontation. SF needs more competition and, despite all of our love for story, it needs a hefty dose of combat rivalry and sportsmanship based on nothing more than conflicting/complimentary personalities and the will to win.
Street Fighter needs to bring back the STREET in its name.
