The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Barba the father of Pullum Purna had been constructing combat weapons.
Barba had created various products but now he’s willing to work for Shadaloo!
(I just don’t know where it is)

http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/ex20.jpg?h=5ca3fa52f1cec284f964cba8ce0ea637

Name: Cycloid - γ
Height: 180cm
Weight: 80kg
Blood Type: None
Date of Manufacture: January, 17
Place of Manufacture: Shadaloo
Favorite things: Learning combative techniques
Dislikes: Being treated carelessly

It had originally been produced for Shadaloo as a devastating weapon.
Thankfully, with the help of Barba who is now affiliated with Shadaloo (forcefully)
it’s been promoting our plans for world domination.
Since the final adjustments had been halted by Mr. Barba
Shadaloo’s Technology Department took the initiative to finish it.
During the occasional times it runs away, it learns a collection of skills
which make it an excellent fighter.
Its orange wireframe look is certainly fashionable.

Huh, it escaped! Oh dear, wait a second.

This just in, I just received word from out senior correspondent!

“For some reason, I wanted a character which gave off a strange vibe,
and thus it was created.
Naturally, at first it was just a wireframe and merely a representation of textures
but the lines were being magnified as the camera came in for a close up,
overall it was rough.
The manner in which we drew the lines directly, eventually that became its current look.
Doctrine also used similar wires which resulted in the same blunder,
so I remember deciding to draw the lines.”

All these profiles made me realize something. Next to everything in the SF universe is connected to Shadaloo and Shadaloo comprises about 3/2 of the storyline, which is awesome.

I always liked the idea of Capcom making Shadaloo vague, unpredictable in the sideline information and larger while keeping the Secret Society mysterious and unknown. They still didn’t connect them with Seth’s creation or something like they were prototypes or alternate version to cyborg monitors.

I hope someday Eleven and Twelve were enhance and refined experiment base from stolen data or fragments of Seth like clones or cyborg monitors from Shadaloo.

And I mean that.

There also are nicely done eye candy supers for the world warriors in SFEX that i always wanted to see again… or Supers with better counterpart than their SF4 and other Capcom games translation.

Dhalsim is so chill in yoga inferno even in his double team super with Blanka in SFex3

Dhalsim’s Yoga Legend and Yoga Inferno, Blanka’s Beast Hurricane and Jungle heat, Zangief’s Super Stomping, Guile’s Opening Gambit, Sagat’s Tiger Storm and Tiger Cannon, Shin Bison’s and Bison’s 2 variants of psycho cannon.

I like that idea, too. At its current state, you can take out SFIV and you won’t miss anything. I want things that happen in one game to actually have some kind of impact in a sequel.

The_Shakunetsu · 2016-10-28T21:55:42.000Z

This would make Shadaloo innovative while making Secret Society resourceful…

DarthEnder · 2016-10-28T23:00:16.000Z

Christ, they couldn’t even do both Cycloids in one entry?

Cestus:

Fuck everybody you ungrateful blasphemers, EX updates were great

They WOULD have been great, if they had been clearly non-canon like the CFAS ones were.

Instead, they’ve absolutely ruined all of Street Fighter forever.

In fact, now the the goddamn wireframe Cycloid has a profile, I’m convinced the EX profiles aren’t canon. No matter what Darun’s says. As that’s literally the only line in any of these that suggests that they are.

YagamiFire:

Back off, people. We’re in a story thread and we’re actually getting lore content. Stop rejecting it or bitching.

You’re not my mom! Don’t tell me what to do!!

Doctrine_Dark · 2016-10-28T23:18:18.000Z

I see this nigga helped create weapons for Shadaloo. Whether it was “forcefully” or not, that doesn’t absolve him from his affiliation. Who you gonna call to handle this?

Remember, guys, Nash doesn’t give a fuck if you were used against your will or not. Helping Bison and Shadaloo automatically makes you a target.

Lord Vega
The aftermath trailer tells us what happened after SF2, which are the scenes of Viper’s investigation - That was the present time of SF4 these trailers are taking place in. The flashback scene to the fight between Bison and the Street Fighters took place during SF2, and this scene represents Viper recounting the events as part of her report.

If that’s the case, why would they put the fight against Vega/Bison after “Shortly after the events of SF2”?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=T51U8uQFrQo

0:39. Yes, that’s Viper recounting the events, that happened after SF2 tournament, not during…

MrPyro:

bakfromon:

I think Shin Bison is just another name for Bison II

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).

So this means that Vega has 3 endings in SFEX3?

Also, the Pia Encyclopedia has a small entry about EX2 and 3 for Vega (notice that his EX3 portrait is wrong. That’s his EX2 portrait):

https://scontent.fcgh9-1.fna.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/s960x960/14707025_1333727849979426_1879613065320397963_o.jpg

Speaking about it… I might have the other profiles from that encyclopedia scanned by tomorrow night (i don’t remember who asked for it sometime ago).

That’s only awesome win-quotes Nash. In-story Nash is a useless puppet of a useless (soon to no longer be) Illuminati emperor.

Wikileaks is going to destroy that blonde blowhard and URIEN WILL RISE!

…fuck I think my brain is blurring fantasy and reality again…

Bison and Bison 2 have separate endings in EX3. The 3rd ending is Bison teamed up with Claw.

Well, SFEX art direction on general was often spot on

It got some low points (like SF3, like SFA), but best designs were awesome and very high on the all time SF designs

Rosso, Doctrine, C.Jack, Purna, Darun, Allen, Kairi, Hokuto

They was all great SF designs
