The Super Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread

It would be a psycho powered Gorilla lol

Too much Psycho Power is just as bad as too little. What we need is more SOUL power to balance the universe.

Nice theory but will not work well in reality

People canā€™t even handle having designs from different artist, half internet believed fucking kiki of all people was the standard and had the decision on characters looks

2 wiki and people will stick with whatever they pick first or with whatever they like most, regardless true or false

Ideal scenario will simply be a single source where shit get called out and eventually erased if canā€™t be backed by source

I would love for Rouge from Power Stone to become canon to SF. She could easily be another Soul Power user and the Ken to Menat.

Street FIghter just updated their FB profile pic. (a little too late cause we already have Kage, but unless this means something elseā€¦)

I will like Knife, seem a grounded char, i like that
He could be SFVā€™s ā€œRolentoā€ (or even closer El Gado) vibe wise
Was my fav of the group probably

But i for one i will not be against the gorilla either
I donā€™ get even why we are automatically assuming heā€™s a Grood.
He can be a Grood with human level mind
He can be a brainless weapon robot gorilla with laser and shit
Can be even the little girl that have huge psychic powers (think DS Anita) control all 300kg of him with psycho power like a puppeteer, so on reality she will be the real enemy lol
We just donā€™t know

Reality is i essentially like ALL SFV newcomers, so if they feel to give a slot to the gorilla i want see why and how, before shit on it

After all i find easier accept an huge silverback as a potential powerful fighter than other stuff already in, and tbh will not be that much out of SF style

A thing to remember is also Necalli at first phases of concept was going to be a gorilla like yeti, so maybe itā€™s a while theyā€™re toying with moveset ideas for a char like that

After all in same group there was a ā€œfighting Presidentā€ concept, wich evolved into G

My ONLY real doubt is that cas already have savage chars like Blanka/Necalli and mountains of muscles like Gief and Abigail, so iā€™m curious to see if they can give Gorilla a reason to esist

PS: i just remember also that barrel throwing norse sailor motherfucker was going to make it into SFV cast, gorilla may become vintage Donkey Kong LOL

I meanā€¦ thereā€™s still a plot guideā€¦still way more reliable than the Wiki will ever be and will give you out right facts instead of conjecture.

I will be ok with Maggio as long they donā€™t make him a pussy, but the profile already cursed him as a yoyo playing skinny kid, so at best he could be a male counterpart of Menat

But i may be negatively biased by having just kikiā€™s design, and kiki design can pussify Godzilla too

Maybe a Bengus take on him could sell me it as a cool JoJo/Yattaman/thief succesfull idea

Then 3d modellers will murder the coolness out of it, but this is another story lol

Iā€¦ was talking about putting the plot guide content on new a wiki. Guess it wasnā€™t obvious.

Closest thing youā€™ll get to that is a wiki in Japanese dedicated to SF. They are more or less conjecture free or at least to the point to where if they do present conjecture its stated as such and provide viable references from the source books and Japanese sites to the info they present.

Take this Japanese Kage page for example. Concise direct and to the point no BS involved.
Kakuge wiki

There is something in common with the Ryu that wakes up to the wave of murderous intent, like appearance, technique, catch phrase etc, whereas murderous Ryu is the existence of Ryu himself, the shadow is the incarnation of the wave of murderous intent itself , Ryu and murderous Ryu are also different

Itā€™s the ā€˜metsuā€™ kanji thatā€™s associated with Evil Ryu & Kage across the SF games. Would have been too obvious if they had done it before the reveal, I suppose.

So it does mean that Kage is just a term to describe Ryuā€™s silhouette not a name of his?

kage = shadow
Literally mean ā€œshadowā€

Thatā€™ why i donā€™t like ā€œkageā€, seem just a specific personal name for non-japanese and lose itā€™s original purpose

Kinda like most think ā€œAkumaā€ is a name, when the actual name itā€™s Gouki, and akuma mean just ā€œdevilā€ in japanese
But on Akuma at least it works as we donā€™t associate it with something pre-existing (Ryu/Evil Ryu)

Will have preferred:
Kage Ryu
Shadow
Shadow Ryu
Satsui No Hado

Personally will have liked the last

Kinda trying to know what Capcom Japan is exactly trying to imply and address to him since US and Japan has sometimes different interpretation

I feel Capcom US reasoning for it itā€™s just something like ā€œthey wil not understand, but sound cool. Itā€™s short so it worksā€

Retard way essentially

Add wrong chara design and most right now think itā€™s actually a new ā€œpersonā€ called Mr. Kage that have an actual body and can go to the fast food for lunch

I guess a good 70% of people think itā€™s like that right now lol

Even if the char story mode explain it kinda clearly, both name and design are misleading af

They wanted Evil Ryu in, but they knew it would feel cheap looking, especially when heā€™s a paid characted, so they bloated his design and gave him a poetic name.

Thatā€™s all. You people are overthinking it way too much.

They should have tried phantom instead lol

Nope. Kage is way better. Makes it clear that heā€™s not just a what-if version of Ryu.

So, no season pass for Season 4:

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2018/dec/19/capcom-we-currently-have-no-plans-offer-season-pass-2019-dlc-characters/

Do you think we will see a different amount of new characters this season? More? Less? The same?
