The Super Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread

I think it only gets all muddy when it comes to mid-low-tiers like Hakan, Remy, Blanka, El Fuerte, etc. since they haven’t done anything notable, but I do think SFV’s general story and mini-stories established how strong most of the chars are (though Alex and Urien need more screen time).

Street Fighter OL (街霸OL), distributed by Tencent for China.

Trailer:

There are a few more character images to be found online, with everyone except Ryu in shorts.

I think someone posted a download link when it was mentioned previously, which linked to a page that had actual game screenshots, but that I simply cannot find. I can find lots of pages online vaguely mentioning the game and including the non-gameplay promo art, but nothing that leads to an actual game download.

EDIT: TapTap has the highest resolution I can find for the alternative casual outfit art, but you might have to do some browser trickery if you want to download the images directly. (The images are around 2100x4100, and around 4MB each, but the web viewer will rescale the display to fit the browser, and you can’t just right-click save.)

Another interview, this time for SF2. A interesting piece of info is that SF2 was going to have stage hazards with the wind blowing on you, limited water time etc. Another one is that Vega was going to a samurai which switched to a Christian Crusader (I’m not joking) to the one we have now. Also characters had weak spots.

Hi @Dracu good first post

My 2 cents on stuff you said

Akuma/Oni:
Oni is a what if scenario, a possible end of the road for him… Oni is very likely superior to current Akuma in a imaginary direct fight scenario.
Akuma may have a slighty edge if we speak about technique/control, but the difference as raw energy is probably so much that finesse or not Oni will just overpower through Akuma

But Oni will also be a “only” a demon, a beast that just follow his own SnH flow, he will be the physical incarnation of that corrupted ki, without much of self awareness and will.
He will be a powerful but still limited monster, well below the kind of war deity Akuma wish to become.

Fun thing are how quote show Akuma and Oni disprect “each other”

Oni intro vs Akuma “Fool, I’ve evolved beyond you*”
Oni defeat Akuma " Farewell. This is Oni’s world"

Oni quote show he see Akuma (his past) as an obstacle to reach the Oni path, that’s because Akuma’s objective is not to become Oni

But tbh story is’nt even consistent, example in SFV Gen warned Akuma he will never reach divine level negating it’s human side, and there Akuma’s reply seem to have him full into “bro i want become a demon” shit

So at the end it’s not that Akuma don’t want to become Oni, he probably simply does’nt want to stop there and keep rising to and beyond deity level, while others like Ryu or Gen think he will fail at it (with Oni being the final of his path)

G/Q:

I think become “Q” will be the punishment inflicted to G by somebody (Illuminati i guess) for his ambition in SFV.
I agree that G ultimate plan may be turn “citizien of earth” into masked human marionettes…


…wich will make even more ironic if end up his punishment to become the same thing

-Originally the Plot Guide was managed by Tiamat. Tiamat was a sensible person.
-Vasili10 made a lot of translations for the guide, so when at some point Tiamat decided to stop updating it he appointed Vasili10 to continue managing it.
-Vasili10 started making fan theories and treating them as canon in the guide. Stuff such as Gouken and Gen being robots, clones and/or ghosts. Or Akuma’s SGS physically teleporting people to hell, where they were attacked by demons. Other minor things that help understanding his attitude were his refusal to give the slightest aknowledgement to Nash’ full name possibly being canonized as Charlie Nash despite being shown ingame in SF4, refusal to talk about a sliding timeline…
-When questioned about these things he would deflect saying that the original texts about Gen, Gouken, etc. were very clear. He would also often say it was clear when you knew the SF story well.
-Some day some user called upon a guy who lives and works in Japan and is fluent in Japanese, Azrael, and he debunked this idea that the Japanese texts hinted those things.
-Vasili10 threw a tantrum and left.

That’s the story. To note, Vasili10’s translations were very broken and hard to read, but they were not inaccurate. The issue was more that he was willing to read way too much between lines and take the slightest hint of metaphor as a proof for his theories, and when people questioned his theories he’d claim that it was clear in the Japanese original.

STREET FIGHTER: MENAT #1

Meet Menat, the enigmatic Egyptian fortune teller on a quest to avenge her master’s death. But it’s not just any villain Menat is seeking… it’s the Dark Lord of Shadaloo himself – M.Bison!

Not sure if this was posted. Menat is getting her own comic. Hella hyped for this.

Her master’s death?!!

I know Udon’s handles a different canon but given how even Capcom itself was planning on killing Rose I don’t want that idea to catch any traction!

Tbh “power level tier list” are not far from fight sports culture

We FS fans got rankings as reference, who’s the Champ, who’s #1 contender, the top5/top10/top50
Fighters often are identified as Champ or contender material, the gatekeepers, the journeymen, the dark horse of the division, the tricky match up etc etc

When something (example injury) happen to #1 contender and the Champ have to defend his belt from a much lower ranked last minute contender eveybody lose theyr shit as if title fight just became a farce, because opponents are of different tiers (even if new contender is pretty high like #7 LOL)

And fun thing as hysterical it sounds is’nt even that far from true, upsets happen but are called like that for a reason lol

Is fun see how even fans of a fictional fantasy martial art world naturally developed the same way of see it that fans of real fight sports have

So Rose will die eventually die?

So were getting Astral Rose DLC? I’m calling it now lol

It’s like they were now given advance hints unlike before, So eventually Rose will certainly die in SF. We have a few fine aged women in SF and I didn’t like the idea of her being gone but it’s like it is bound to happen because Udon won’t go beyond way of thought without any hints or so.

I think they’re just following the Udon continuity. Rose was killed by Bison during the SF2 series.

Actually if you would realize it, People are actually considerate, forgiving and tolerant with Xkira, for he countless misleading of people. I’m not just saying just the excel file but the whole time.

The problem here is that people being misled by giving them false expectation and some do even hate Capcom because of the continues of misinformation. it’s unfair to both Capcom and it’s fans.

So it’s unfair to sympathize a blatant lier like Xkira, By the way xkira is bragging and mocking against Capcom, It’s not hard to picture that Xkira might be even laughing at his ass lickers right now. lol

Xkira has been dishonest so far and shameful for his past activities that’s why he deactivate his previous accounts that’s not even. If he was honest and wants to continue what he was doing he revive everything he posted previously and repost it in his twitter as he begins and returned.

by the way the numbers are the correct analysis of the person credibility and it even lack the fiasco of his previous accounts which is way more evident.

The excel file only summarize only his activities late 2017 his been around 2015 and even known stealing from others dataminers. That’s the whole story you are saying.

He is now silence at Nguhao stage and CWA that he recently post this October which he keeps on talking about because it never happened, those are the same thing with other modes.

Speculation and wish-list is not leaking.

Nah those costumes were mostly commonsense credibility compare to the most misinformation he cause to everyone. Were far more better than him like speculating Canonspike Nash after Canonspike Cammy release doesn’t even need something like hacking or datamining because those were commonsense.

just my two cents.

When you resort or recommend that sort of thinking. That’s how propaganda and cult works effectively by ignoring commonsense and logic in favor of BS even it’s in front of him, which is known as Selective Truths , that a fanatic tries desperately attempt to rationalize dishonestly to credibility.

I hope this comic would be about her revival or return in Udon Canon verse instead rather than the tagline in the comic instead.

For those who are still unsure, keep in that this is UDON’s own work and not a Capcom-commissioned comic and takes place in UDON’s own Canon so there’s a VERY SMALL chance that this would happen to Rose in game-canon.

I hope not, Rose is the OG Queen B :crown::princess::crown::princess: If they kill Rose then y’all are welcome to join me in avenging her death.

It’s not about selective truths, his recent streak of leaked costumes, next to theyr release order logically lead to trust he actually leaked these.

Is also different the way info are released, often in these case you don’t see fantasy storytelling about this and that, but he just tend to say XXX is getting an alt, in some case wich alt (es cosplaying as YYY)

So the result is that at the end of the day in the middle of all crap he throw to get clicks or stay internet relevant, there’s something where he’s kinda reliable (costumes)

So when he will speak again about costumes i will be interested, as he showed to be able to leak these.
That will get my attention beyond read some random fan and his theories.
In that specific thing he is useful, more than random fan without any ability

When he speak about anything else there ever be the solid chance he’s trying to sell crap as usual, will read his stuff but just as i waste time reading some random fan and his theories
He showed to have some leak method knowledge, but at same time he showed to be liar.
So will read as possible leak, but keeping in mind may very well be a lie

I don’t know if he have any ass licker, but if he got them they’re not much worse from the internet nerdrage i seen on the other side lol
Is hilarious see how the group hating him seem willing to negate even the few things he actually did right
The internet nerdrage is another good thing of xkira, so after costume-leaking it’s at least 2 #xkirabless

About people mad at Capcom for his lies not becoming truth, i’m not angry
Capcom itself having an INCREDIBLY crap communication division (just watch the bullshit current S4 situation) based on weak hype tactics involving shit announcement calendar and keep secrets to fans leave themselves open to this kind of crap

Overall xkira is some brazilian(?) nerd with some hacking/whatever skills that make him good at call costumes in advance.
Anything else have strong chance of be self-promoting bullshit
That’s it.

Still more useful (to me) than most of the ones throwing shit at him for being a liar lol

Though a number of those real world “tier lists” are still questionable, for a variety of reasons. For example, while Floyd Mayweather was a great boxer, he was able to achieve a 50-0 career because he avoided fights that he might lose.

As for theory fighting, one shouldn’t forget the lesson that the rise of MMA taught the world. Before that point, you had people who’d give long laundry lists for why kung-fu was better than boxing, how their branch of karate was the best, or how an akido master could defeat anyone, or whatever. After organizations like UFC had a few years to start sorting everything out, almost all those fancy ideas were proven to be bunk. (The no-contact martial arts in particular lost out.)

I will not be worried about Rose, mostly because Rose is waifu and they got more to lose than gain in killing a waifu

But overall udon touching SF with theyr amateurish skills will never stop to worry me

udon release in west
bad taste people read udon, maybe without understand it’s not canon
above mentioned people get loud on the internet caling this or that idea good
Capcom read theyr opinins

4 moves into crap, as if Capcom is’nt ALREADY get tons of crap ideas from internet voice

Capcom someway further estabilishing them letting arcade endings in theyr hands is already bad lol

I know modern Capcom lost honour and lot of theyr love for SF, wishing just to marry that daughter to the highest bidder

But pls, not udon lol
