The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Did Sharon finish up all the default EX2 characters? I guess we don’t have that many profiles for EX characters left. Guess now we’ll either be getting Ace, Cycloid, or M.Bison II and then that’ll be the end of EX characters.

Yeah, that’s it for the EX2+ characters. EX3 will be even quicker since Ace was the only new addition there. That was fast!

So it’s finally over?

In Street Fighter EX3, both Sharon and Skullomania can unlock a midboss fight against Shadowgeist in place of Sagat. Could Shadowgeist somehow be connected to Sharon’s story?

For context, Hokuto/Nanase can fight Kairi, and Ken/Sakura/Sagat/Bison/Bison II can fight Evil Ryu. It’s just strange that Sharon of all characters fights Shadowgeist.

Don’t forget Blueberry Shin Bison.

That’s interesting to know. It’s certainly possible there’s a connection. Shadow wanted to take apart the government that was responsible for the demise of his family, while Sharon had orders from a particular government to assassinate a certain figure. If Shadow was raising enough trouble, I could see Sharon being tasked with eliminating him. That’s why I’m salty EX3 doesn’t have much in the way of story material. The only amount of story information we have are the endings.

Don’t celebrate just yet there’s still a bit more I believe. The last profile will probably tell us whether it’ll be the final one similar to the lady wrestlers, Dolls, and, yoga masters.

I think Shin Bison is just another name for Bison II

We’re still waiting on Mekazangief (that’s the spelling they’re going with, from Area’s profile) and Sawada. None of you better give me any lip about Mekazangief, as we already got Shadow/Shadow Lady/Brainwashed Ken.

Not in SFEX3. There’s Bison II, who can be unlocked as a playable character in the arcade mode only, and then there’s Shin Bison, who has chain combos and other attributes that make him a lot stronger. He is not playable without a cheat device.

Bison II:

Shin Bison (note that the image depicts what must have been the use of a cheat device; you don’t fight him in a tag battle):

It’s surprising how few images there are of Shin Bison. I guess there aren’t a lot of EX3 fans out there.

In SFEX2 (or at least, SFEX2 Plus as far as I know), Bison II bears more resemblance to Shin Bison from SFEX3.

If there is an entry detailing any of this, I would much prefer that both Bison II and Shin Bison are merged into one entry (or not included at all, which I imagine plenty of people here would prefer).

I want goddamn Mekazangief and goddamn Sawada.

I love shit like the former (come at me!) and Sawada is just awesome. Much better character than Fei Long (again, COME THE FUCK AT ME!)

My wishlist at the moment in addition to Sawada is:

Guile’s wife
Blanka’s mother
Ishizaki, Karin’s butler
Houmei and Shaomei, Yun & Yang’s girlfriends
Candy, Rufus’ girlfriend
Hakan’s wife and daughters
Viper’s Daughter
Rashid’s friend
A rundown of CIA personnel

Ex series just took it too far with different character forms.
Ryu/ Evil Ryu

Bison/Bison II/Shin Bison

Hokuto/Bloody Hokuto

EX1 Kairi/ EX2 Kairi/ Evil Kairi (totally forgot Kairi had an “Evil” variation in EX2 separate from his “normal” self).

Also, what is this map supposed to be in EX2 Arcade, is it some made up landmass or an actual place?

Edit: I guess it is a made up country after all, that’s weird for a SF title.

The new lord of the Illuminati approves of this list

Speaking of which…I want profiles of the various scientists within the organizations

In addition to this

Makoto’s older brother and grandfather
The five ninjas that appear in Ibuki’s stage in New Generation
Elena’s brother and father
Nerco’s siblings

S-Shun, Rosanov, and Sadler?

Anyone?

Don’t worry. I got your back, fam.

Those three are welcome. No judgment. Sadler is an evil scientist…so he meets with my approval. Rosanov is a solid mid-boss design. And the entire Alpha movie arc is actually something NEW in SF. All good things.

Sound like my nightmare, days and days (and days) of boring not-fighter The Sims

I understand “why”, but still sound fun as punching my own balls

I wish Capcom could do a “wives/GF day” and update them all, same for sons/daughters… but of course will not happen

-double-

Now them will actually be cool

Also i will like if they straight invent more total new crazy characters like the 7 (the other 6) Yoga Masters for Sim, or even confirmed SF universe but not related to anybody like the norwegian pirates… it help to give the feel SF World is rich, bizzarre and colorful as the characters we know

Stuff like Bison’s Master, Elena’s tribe best hunter, Dudley’s greatest boxing rival, the Sumo wrestlers trained by Honda etc etc… basically stuff that can offer the chance of some fun capcom style chara design

Plus of course Slam Masters, Rival Schools, and missing FFers. Maybe even a Resident Evil hint.

Will be fun if Capcom can unify all the chronologically compatible capcom universes, creating a “SF World”, kinda like amercian Dc/Marvel comics have many characters or groups with theyr own story but still existing in the same planet

So wait. Once Capcom is done with SF EX series - how many people/profiles will we have yet to see in the future?

fuckton of it

Boring family members alone are probably 20+ (counting only relevant/seen/story mentioned ones)
Ibuki ninja clan
FF universe have A LOT of uncovered stuff
Orgs like Illuminati and CIA

Also count that for many they probably wait that a related character get released, stuff like

C.Viper -> daughter
Rose -> disciples
Q -> CIA agents
Oro -> animal pets? Lol
Sodom -> Retu
Gill -> Illuminati
