The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Agree. That slick haircut too. So good.

Anyway, thank you gentlemen for all the translations.

Ugh, FANG is too cute right now… But…

Poor Dic. :sad:

Wow that Cipher guy in this thread got destroyed. What on Earth made him think he was just gonna make claims without proof and everyone would except it just because he claimed to sources to be Jap books? And the funny thing. he actually got mad that ya wouldn’t believe him. Like a child that thinks they told a good enough lie to get out of trouble, then gets mad because you wont but their bullshit they thought was good enough to fool you.

He was allowed to spread his cammy crush for a while now. Finally someone called him out on it. Didn’t even say they didn’t believe him, only that he show us some scans of his sources.

I will admit I will miss the daily Daemos vs Cipher thread throw down though.

Tengo el sexo.

At first I couldn’t tell…but, on second look…

I think it might be “右腕 チーム” = “Right arm team” (i.e. “right hand man team”)
(the 腕 kanji is really stretched out…but, it’s hand drawn, and I’d imagine that character would be really hard to draw free hand so small)

Oh my God…I just realized who FANG is…

Then you know who Birdie must be.

More like Rashid.

So, if that’s the hierarchy, we can very definitely confirm that Juri is not working with Shadowloo. That leaves 3 options open:
-She’s just doing her own thing
-She took the remnants of SIN for herself
-She’s working with the Illuminati

OH SHIT MAYNE, EVIL JURI CONF…wait…

There is also the possibility that when this drawing was conceived Juri was not confirmed yet, so she was excluded. Or maybe Capcom are keeping her plot significance secret.

I don’t think there was an SIN for herself to take. Most everything was likely absorbed back into Shadaloo, and she’s not the CEO business type. I can still see her with Shadaloo, but I think she is probably a free agent that may get hired for a job here or there. She needs Shadaloo though if she wants to maintain that eye of hers.

Would she really be that much of an afterthought? She had a story in SF4, which Capcom knows the true meaning behind. You mean to tell me they finalized FANG’s concept and even laid out an extended Shadowloo hierarchy before they decided to have Juri return? I think I remember Ono or someone on the staff saying that they had a pretty good idea early on for who they wanted.

If I’m not mistaken, she was pretty much Seth’s second in command. All of the SIN guys who felt Bison was going to turn their assholes inside out for defecting (quite a few, I’m sure), would probably take their chances with Juri. Also, so long as the machines/staff Seth used to keep her eye working survived, she doesn’t really need Shadowloo to maintain it. Especially if Vega sold his data to the Illuminati.

Why would Vega sell the data to the illuminati? He himself says that with this data Shadaloo can live on forever, and his good looks would last forever as well. Seems he’s got something too good to lose or give up for the Illuminati.

You also need to understand that SIN is the weapons division and a public/corporate front for Shadaloo. They only officially turned their back on Shadaloo after the Juri incident. Within only a few months, they learned the hard way what happens when you turn your back on Shadaloo. SIN cannot survive without the support of Bison, in the same way that a wing can’t fly without the bird it is attached to.

The concept art as mentioned earlier likely reflects Shadaloo’s hierarchy within the base, rather than all over. So if Juri is with SIN, she would be excluded from the tree, but she would still technically be with Shadaloo.

TL;DR version: You fuck with Bison - you sign a death sentence

Here is an article from an interview from Combofiend. In the article, he goes into detail about each character, explaining the “inspiration behind each fighter’s visual appearance, the thought process behind their move set and what led to each character being decided upon as a launch roster member.”

There isn’t really anything too revealing, however, a few interesting points pop up. For instance, the reasoning and inspiration for the character design was due to their role in the story.

That’s all I was able to find.

The speculation was that SFV’s story was gonna retell at least most of the SF canon story, in addition to the current story. So once again, we have the Mighty Bison with his “grandest scheme yet”. I’m curious to see how it’s gonna play.

Was just about to post that!

I’m not sure how much Combofiend knows about the story, but Nash’s appearance is not consistent with bullets and a waterfall. We’ll see what retcons Capcom has in store for us.

Also Combofiend implied that FANG isn’t just as evil as the 4 kings, he may be even more evil.

I hope we’ll get to see the inevitable showdown between Ryu and Bison in Street Fighter V. It’s been a longtime coming. Besides the brief skirmish in Alpha 3, these two have never fought. It’s about time we see the refined Hado go up against the dreadful Psycho Power. No outside interference’s or stupid plot device; just One-on-one, in true Street Fighter form.

If I get that, I’ll be happy forever

So they are indeed not considering his Alpha 3 stuff canon anymore, huh?

So Necalli confirmed to be an ancient Aztec version of Evil Ryu.
