The reference IS clear. You don’t need a similar colour, because Reika herself shifted between purple, red, pink and even white… But her costume has always been very simple.
Although actually, the reference becomes crystal clear as soon as you notice the racket behind Karin’s back.

Noticed it some time after I posted the comment above you. I thought it was her ribbon at first but it seemed like a racket.
Cool to know but yes, it’s still far from SF2/4 style

Guess its time to update that nostalgia mod…
Got the game. You can change the language for the menus and profiles.
The main question here is who wrote the profiles. Capcom of Japan, Capcom Of America or Digital Eclipse?
The profiles focuses on the storyline from the 90’s, but there are certain parts that mentions S.I.N. and the Black Moons event.
There are a few artworks that I’ve never seen before. But some of the artwork sets are incomplete, like the SSF2/SFA console artworks for the character’s moves. Some of the artwork quality REALLY sucks (like young Guy, Ken and Ryu together in SFA), but in general they are pretty good. SF2WW Mike Bison’s artwork was “censored” because of the word “Bison” on his trunks.
And… to make some of you really happy… Ingrid isn’t in the SFA3Max gallery, not even mentioned. Unfortunately, Gill also doesn’t have a profile 
.
I’m gonna make a video with the profiles and artworks from the museum.

If it’s not too much of a problem, could you please upload some of the rarer artworks? I have a feeling that I might have not seen them either.
Courtesy of Vulcan422 from gamefaqs.com; new and revised stories for characters according to 30th Anniversary Collection (has some pretty interesting new bits of info):
Characters in SFV
Akuma
-It is acknowledged that he only managed to put Gouken into a death-like state with the Raging Demon.
-Despite Gen being severely weakened due to his leukemia, Akuma did enjoy fighting him.
Balrog
-Grew up in poverty, and is the youngest child of his family, hence his greed.
-Trained by getting into fights with other boys in his neighborhood, hence why he fights dirty.
-Did not get banned from pro boxing. His vicious nature resulted in him critically maiming his opponents and landing them in the hospital. Everyone was too scared to fight him, so he couldn’t book money matches anymore after a while.
-Ended up as a casino and bar bouncer after he realized he couldn’t get paid anymore. It was here that Bison recruited him.
Birdie
-Reaffirmed as a former wrestler. He got banned for cheating and his violent attitude.
-Was planning on betraying Bison at one point, confirming his Alpha 2 ending as canon, and lived off of his employ as a grunt for as long as he could. Then F.A.N.G showed up.
-Hates Zangief because of his mohawk, not because he’s a wrestler.
Blanka
-At the age of 10, he went flying to meet his uncle, but Shadaloo’s intervention caused the plane to crash, killing all aboard except him.
Cammy
-Was planted at Delta Red as a spy for Shadaloo initially.
Nash
-Unbeknownst to him, likely until Kolin revealed to him the truth in his story mode, he’s been on Shadaloo’s s*** list for quite a long time. His former commanding officer was a Shadaloo agent and reported to Bison on his activities before reassigning him to try and throw him off the trail.
-Not seen in his story mode, but as Bison knocked him off the waterfall to his death he managed to leave a couple of final clues to Guile over comms: “M. Bison” and “Psycho Drive”.
Chun-Li
-Much like Nash, Shadaloo’s influence even spread to Interpol, and they also deterred her from her pursuit of Bison. She became known as the “black sheep” of Interpol.
Cody
-Once again confirms that Travers is indeed his last name.
-Edi E. framing him for Poison’s crimes is confirmed non-canon. He got into prison of his own free will.
Dhalsim
-His pet elephant, who Balrog killed with the Gigaton Blow, was named Kodal.
Guile
-His family owns a dog named Sabu.
Ibuki
-Reaffirmed as a member of the Glade of Ninjas, who have ties to the Kanzuki family.
M. Bison
-Confirmed that in the past, Bison was a martial artist not unlike Akuma who became infatuated with dark forces. Like Akuma, he killed his own master and turned his fighting style into a corrupted form. He invented Psycho Power by modifying Soul Power to utilize negative emotions, thoughts, and desires.
-Bison trained with one other student, much like Akuma did with Gouken, but their identity is still not known.
R. Mika
-Has wanted to be a pro wrestler since her childhood.
Ryu
-Reaffirmed that he has replaced the Satsui no Hado with the Mu no Ken.
Urien
-Reaffirmed that he wishes to rule the Illuminati his own way. He has no intention of preserving its legacy, and he destroyed a collection of preserved brains which belonged to past leaders of the Illuminati to demonstrate that.
-His experiments on people like Necro and the creation of Eleven (whose parts were used to resurrect Nash) and Twelve stem from his belief in a theory that suggests genetic modification on people to accelerate their healing factor holds the secret to immortality. These experiments have proven almost successful, but there’s a negative side effect that he’s trying to remove: when healed, the user suffers from memory loss.
-Reaffirmed that he is a natural blonde, Caucasian male. His white hair and bronze skin is the result of him activating his powers.
Vega
-Gets his beauty obsession from his mom.
Characters not in SFV
Guy
-Reaffirmed that Guy is an American-born Japanese.
-Contrary to what Zeku’s ending shows, Guy started training under Zeku from a young age, and he was not a delinquent taken in by Zeku for discipline. That frame where Guy is shown in his school uniform overlooking a piece of paper? That’s him failing his college entrance exams. It’s from this point that he decides to travel to America to hone his skills as a warrior.
-The events of Final Fight made Guy come to the realization that he needed to modify the Bushinryu style for real combat scenarios. This is how he becomes involved in the plot of Street Fighter.
-Zeku predicted Bison’s arrival and activities, and Guy recalling his master’s words is what puts him into opposition towards Shadaloo.
Hugo
-Confirmed to be a member of the Andore family.
-He came to America to be with his relatives before he was 20 years old. They are all street thugs who joined Mad Gear, and due to his low intelligence wound up in the gang’s service.
Rose
-Reaffirmed as the good half of Bison’s soul.
-It’s finally confirmed what her vanilla SF4 ending means. Bison was not only taking back his remaining power from her, but he was also showing her all of the horrible things he did while in control of her body.
T. Hawk
-Confirmed that he is looking for both Juli and Noembelu.
Yun & Yang
-The two of them have ties to the underworld, and were named by kingpins when they were born. Control over Hong Kong is their inheritance.

Nice find dude! Whoa there’s some really interesting stuff here!
Balrog, interesting that he stayed in boxing but everyone was afraid of him and he landed into being a bouncer. I like that angle, it makes sense why he’d have such a connection to that place. “It’s where everything turned around” I wonder what happened to the rest of his family.
Birdie: Nice that they acknowledge the former wrestling bit and him hating Gief. I remember finding that in a scene of special battles in alpha 2.
Blanka: the Shadaloo involvement is interesting. I remember from the ooooooold lore days that being in early SF2 mooks but hadn’t been referenced in ages. Dang, Shadaloo’s been around for ages.
Nash and Chun; I like these. IT would make sense that with Shadaloo’s influence they would be able to get into those organizations and deter their top agents. Never knew about Chun’s nickname
Bison: Yoooo, they did it! They finally brought back the master and martial arts angle.
Rose: How was this placed in context? Are they basically saying that she was a baby that got his goodness, or is it something else like he expelled his goodness and she poofed into existence???
Yun and Yang: Dang, did NOT know about the criminal connection!

Of course Yun and Yang are tied to the underworld, picking Genei Jin in Third Strike was basically a criminal offense.

Guile’s family owning a dog isn’t new as it appears in his SF2 endings. the dog can bee seen in Guile’s SF2 world warrior, SSF2 and SSF2 Turbo endings. the dog’s name being Sabu was actually mention in old material .
Yup. Guile dog is an old school reference though I thought it was named Safu

I like to point out that Karin’s professional costume isn’t exactly the same as her story costume . in her professional costume she’s actually wearing a different top than her story costume. her story costume is a one piece dress while the professional costume is a two piece dress. if you examine the professional costume closely you will notice the line that separates the top from the bottom.
the top she wears in her professional costume is a traditional tank top while the top in her story costume isn’t . it lacks the straps associated with with traditional tank tops.
He forgot to mention… That Gouki challenged Vega/Bison in his profile during SF2.
Nash saying to Guile “Psycho Drive”…according to Beyond The World, the Psycho Drive was destroyed BEFORE Nash’s death…
It seems that 30th anniversary collection’s release was postponed in japan…
BTW, I’ll post the museum video ASAP.

If this is unaltered in the Jap version, This only proves that Bison isn’t recruiting the best of the world but what he deems useful to him.
Despite the new information we can squeeze from this media, I’m glad I can still doubt some areas and wait for the Japanese version that probably be more accurate.
TBH, Every time I hear arcade accurate and emulation, I believe by default this is by western standard, because those areas where western concerns and priority, So probably this is a Capcom US division proposed and lead project of compilation.
Not something that worked closely with the guidance of Japan’s division on compilation of informative stuff so their are probably some situation that were not getting updated stuff, but that case does not hinder us from having brand new informative stuff.
Yet despite of this I’m happy with the new info that is unexplored in other sources like the SF1 8bit nes version. I understood the conflicting stuff because of technicalities and probably deadlines.
I hope the Japan version is kinda different and have more compromising info to SFV source materials.
You can change the language to japanese. I doubt they will change this kind of stuff. I guess that Capcom simply translated it to japanese just like they did with USF2.
From Adon’s profile:
Adon learned that it was Ryu’s use of Satsui no Hado (The Killing Intent) that allowed him to defeat Sagat, and so decided to pursuit it himself, hoping to integrate it with his own Muay Thai.
From Sagat's:
In the final match of the first Street Fighter tournament, Sagat was defeated by Ryu’s powerful cheap-shot Shoryuken.
Damn, there will never be an end to this.
