there is a post somewhere from the twitter status of takuyuki along the thread that the sfa3 ingrid that appeared in Sfa3 whatif is different from CFA? But CFN only covered the CFA version? am i right?
She just another “what if” entity or persona like psycho enchance ken, satsu no hadou ryu and oni in a parallel posibility/probablity that never happened to exist anyway…
•ストZERO2
ケンステージの背景に、イライザ誕生パーティーの来賓として登場。ゾンビではなく生前の姿で、レイレイにギターを聴かせている。 •SFA2
He appears in the background of Ken’s stage, as a guest at Eliza’s birthday party. He’s not a zombie, but in the form he had while alive, and is playing his guitar for Hsien-Ko.
I’ve always thought Darkstalkers’ World was a in a parallel universe, so their characters could have a “human” counterpart in SF. And this could be the case. Nakayama confirmed this Ruby isn’t Ruby Heart. “Ruby is the daughter of a norwegian bartender, not Ruby Heart”. Using this trick, you can import pretty much any character from any Capcom series. You can well suppose their bar is a thematic bar, and voilà, they can dress as pirates.
Also, not having to swing anchors.
So now i can accept the thought of the many DS characters and look alike probability(scott and max situation) that appeared in SFA2 ken stage to be ordinary civilians and people that are just simply friends of the masters family, never the original DS verse and never beyond greater than Ken’s fighting prowess?
See if Capcom was operating on a parallel universe ideal, I’d be fine with that. If in SF there are “familiar” looking people who happen to have more than a passing resemblance to other Capcom game characters and vice versa, it’s a bit of fun – also it’d be a canon application of Chun and Charlie having cameos as news anchors in those Mega Man mangas and games hah.
I think that’s a better option than merging various incompatible game series.
Actually i’m so fucking loving this, it bring SF back to old school wacky Capcom vision of the SF world (speaking of west Europe in particular, way more than USA)
With that in mind see a bunch of Norway giants be a crew of sailor/pirate/viking/fishermen/whatever feel so SF2 and right
What could be next? The Master of Bison’s and Master? Goutetsu and Gouken’s family? Shadaloo Scientist? Final Fight 3 cast? Ryu’s real family? Shadaloo Cyborgs and Clones? Secret Societies Founders?
The latest profiles of those ugly ass pirates was rather offensive.
The addition of Ruby, however, has made things right in the world again.
Think I’ll do some Ruby Heart combos in Marvel tonight. I always found her to be quite fun in that.
Hell, I’ll even post her AAC profile for @bakfromon or @Miðgarðsorm even though she’s not exactly the same as the one in the SFV profile. I still think knowing more of her backstory would be cool despite the fact that it originated from the Vs series.
I can’t understand anyone that would be glad about Ruby being a SF character, but hated Ingrid being a SF character. It’s very nearly the EXACT same situation. Y’all are a bunch of hypocrites.
So does that mean she’s like Shiba or Simone. Inspired by characters from other Capcom series, but not those characters?
That’s fine. But make a new fucking character to do it. Don’t transpant a fucking ghost summoning sky pirate from outside the franchise to be that character.
At least her brothers look like sailors, and not a goddamn 1600s pirate. Why would any character in the modern world that SF takes place in dress like that?!
