The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

The more I think about it, the more I start to believe that the guy in that control room is Guile with a shaved head. It would certainly be cause a lot of buzz (pun intended) if it’s true. Very clever marketing.

But I’m not sure, because he is missing the American Flag tattoo it seems.

Chun Li is 169 cm. Ken is 175 cm.

That’s only 2.4 inches difference, and she’s wearing shoes.

I have a strong feeling Chun-Li and Rashid’s battle will stem from a simple “misunderstanding” and they’ll likely help each other once they realize they have a common goal. The Bison/Necalli connection is really intriguing, though. From what we see, Necalli seems to be within that ball thingy. I’m guessing Bison somehow found a way to summon it to land on earth. Both Ryu and Sim could apparently sense Necalli’s [w

While Bison craves pure power, I could see him actually controlling Necalli and using him as his own personal weapon. Maybe to absorb the souls of others and somehow give that power to Bison. There’s always the possibility of him wanting Necalli’s body for himself, too.

I liked how that explosion knocked out the power throughout the city. Bison’s like “if I can’t have fun, you fuckers can’t have fun, either!”

I’m really hyped after watching that trailer. It’s going down for real in V.

Please do NOT get him started on how “well received” the X-men moves are.

Those Death Stars are definitely Shadaloo’s creations. They even carry Shadaloo’s emblem. I don’t think Necalli was inside them or that Bison even summoned them (that’s just the editing of Ryu’s vision).

I dub the Shadaloo Death Star…“Street Killer Base”

Also yeah hit me up with what you guys think should be on the show! Also I invite you guys to listen in! Tonight @7pm eastern at 990wbob.com!

According to the SF Wikia page (and the statistics on their profiles), Chun-Li s 5’5", and Ken is 5’9". So a 4 inch difference.

I actually saw it a different way: the Chun-Li v. Rashid fight will happen near the end where something happens and Chun-Li prioritizes stopping shadaloo over finding Rashid’s friend. That will get them to clash with both going their separate ways.

I was hoping for something a little more dramatic other than a city (and possibly nation-wide) blackout when that ball of dark energy exploded. I figured there would be a least a number of fatalities, alongside the pandemonium.

It’s a Shadaloo Dyson sphere built around Ingrid to draw endless power from her to feed to Bison.

We don’t know whether that explosion was intentional or it comes from a scene where the star was destroyed.

Either way I am hoping at least 1 of the 7 stars kills millions of people. No, I’m not sick I just want to raise the stakes as high as possible.

When the sun sets on the Soliton Mountain, the black moon will break into seven pieces and fall on the people “Ultania”

Necalli is the sun? The black moon…is obvious. Thank you for bringing the end of the world, Lord Bison! Arise, Lord Gill!

OMG! The Prophecy! Capcom didn’t forget about that shit! Great catch @YagamiFire !!!

I suspected that Rose’s doomsday and Gill’s are one and the same, but never did I imagine that it would happen at this point in the timeline. Never like this! This is BRILLIANT!!!

That’s possible, too.

Kinda reminds me of Chun-Li bumping into another tech agent while she’s doing her own thing.

I wonder what was going on with Nash when his hand was glowing with that blue power. Probably was about to fight. With the way he holds the photograph of Guile, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of his missions was to track Guile down.

It’s what I do :sunglasses:

Also…

“a boy who controls the elements will come to save the people”

Gill? Bwahahah! Keep dreaming, chuckles! Bison might have covered more bases than people think!

If this is going where I think it could, it would make Bison one of the most magnificent bastards in gaming.

The prophecy comes from Gill’s NG/2i ending for those interested (13:50).

The prophecy specifically states that nothing can prevent this event, and that the shit is going to hit the fan. But after 4 months and 10 days, Gill(?) would arrive to save the people of Earth.

But don’t worry, Bison will possess Kolin and return to Kill Gill in a 2 part revenge thriller directed by Quentin Tarantino in 2022.

Here’s my plan, if I’m Bison (and god-willing, one day I will be)…

Make an element-controlling boy (clone of Gill? Eyes and hair match…whatevs). Balrog sells to the Illuminati.

Bison ends the world. Consumes Necalli’s soul. His body is totally dying from all this power.

Gill arises to save the world. Urien one-ups him with the true savior…clone-boy.

Bison shifts his soul into clone-boy’s body that has been specifically prepared for all this. Leader of Shadaloo, lord of the Illuminati, savior of the world…Bison ascendant as an Akira-level abomination that looks like Psycho-Power King Joffrey. Check and mate. Have fun getting out from under THAT rock, world…

Which, incidentally, is the kind of awesome “OH SHIT!” ending that has made MK9 and MKX stories so successful.

According to the Capcom Japanese website it’s what I said before.


I’ll trust them, since they’re the ones making the game.

Looking at it again, the way Nash looked at Guile’s picture gave me the feels:

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/12541023_10208575123958103_8712704877914397468_n.jpg?oh=2870e27b5a70f5ff2b579ceb885616f7&oe=573794BF

Don’t fret, Nash. You’ll see your Sonic brethren soon…

The only reason Chun seems taller than Ken is because of perspective and nothing more. Ken is placed slightly behind Chun which makes him appear shorter. If you’ve ever seen LotR than you should know how this plays out. SFAF uses this optics trick too, as Mike Moh is slightly shorter than Christian Howard.

So who is the blonde chick in the trailer in front of nash? looks a bit like the girl on the left
