Falke’s name and attacks are German, why hide it? Menat might be from Egypt but they offend people by thinking that all Egyptians are still in ancient instead of Arab but Capcom can just say that she is a nomad. Kolin makes sense because her country collapsed in war and Ed was probably born in that island from SF4
Rashid’s stage was confirmed as being in the UAE in Arcade Mode.

Since Bison’s B-day was yesterday, I wanted to take the time to look at some of his most glorious roasts throughout his history. I meant to do it on his special day, but was a bit busy and forgot.
Alpha 3 roasts:
SF4 Bison roasts:
SFXT Bison roasts:
Summary
To Lili:
To Paul:
To Rolento:
To Sagat:
To Lars:
SVC Chaos Bison roasts:
I know Bison has a lot more roasts in general. This is just something I quickly put together.

as of right now there are 2,811 employees working at Capcom. then number of employees working at Bandai Namco is 1,066 . SNK has only 123 Employees and Arc System Works has 121 employees. however Ubisoft has more employees then Capcom, Namco, SNK , Arc System Works combine with a whopping 13,000 employees.
Ubisoft has a ton of man power.
Bison has got no chill… You’d think that he’d make a psycho drive that absorbs energy from savage roasts. I do love the Winnie-The-Pooh reference in Choi’s roast.

See @Doctrine_Dark got M.Bison a birthday present albeit late, what have you gotten for your beloved Bison? I’m questioning your true allegiance with Bison!

Many people on this site either love or hate FANG. But I found a video that defends his character, design, and role in the story really well. Aside from M. Bison, he could very well be the 2nd most significant member of the Shadaloo organization. Even more so than Balrog, Vega, and even Sagat (who is essential in Ryu’s narrative)
Thoughts?

Some other points on FANG:
Summary
F.A.N.G is a “zoner” character in gameplay but is cold and calculating outside of battle. This seems odd, but remember his techniques depend on his body producing and resisting poison. He’ll have to produce more when he’s in a fight. Perhaps he’s not totally immune to his own poison, and it affects his mind a bit when he has to make large quantities of it
Summary
FANG’s backstory has him kidnapped from a very young age by a cartel and exposed to large quantities of poison in order to master the poison technique. He saw many children around him die. This might’ve developed a “survival of the fittest” mentality within FANG which explains the traits that make seem like a “coward”.

I just took 3D modeling and animation course in 5 months with Maya and will be finishing it next month, Yet I’m very much amateurish, I have understood the workflow and how it is divided into several parts with several phases of specialty. Modeling and Rigging(a phase in animation) is the hardest part and most time consuming those weren’t done by a single person unlike 2D animation. I believe could finish the whole character model with animation within two months or three months. As for the story writing they were kinda joke for early release characters in S2. ED is the only flavorful and exceptional that time in terms of writing.
The most time consuming is testing/usability game play and ideal engineering with RnD(Character Design, special moves and combos). Many of S2 character concept is more inspired from this and that, the only exemption was Menat but still heavily influenced by other modern characters. Testing is also the hardest part, that even characters initially release can still have bugs and glitches, but it works with the current modern workflow like Agile/Scrum.
They could already start testing the characters even without the other areas like lighting and texturing. Take note the current development phase that Capcom adopts is more into Agile thats is depending on feed backs thats why we get continuous character bug fixes unlike in SF4.
As for Zeku, I think Zeku was already planned in S2 after S1 feedbacks are gathered but the inclusion of Strider guise was something changed IMHO.
I’m not familiar with voice overs and OST from assessment, workflow and timelines.
Yet I believe everything is assemble together within 3 months before the release. I don’t even think that Capcom only has a single person as employee or an outsource of each per division in 3D, for example if there were 3 people doing character modeling then another 3 for rigging so each person are assigned to work with one character at a time then have a second batch afterwards. If you would think other games like RE, MH and etc Capcom manage to produce more 3d models than what SF has so I don’t think they have shortage on those areas.
Akuma had the same cased of why we get Sakura. Akuma was never planned initially and it was obvious that Necali was his temporary replacement but Akuma demands skyrocketed in request so we got him early than expected which also contradict a lot of his establish visual history from CFN and SF3.’

Always though of FANG as a character that boost the appeal of Bison. I’m always up and good with FANG from story and some special but I always dislike his SA/CA.
F.A.N.G is objectively awesome.
If you don’t love F.A.N.G and wouldn’t like to have a life-sized statue of him in your living room you probably have no soul and most likely also have the same haircut as Ed.

Hey guys, I’ve been looking for the newest plot guide (the one that had the bios, endings, and CFN profiles translated) but I can’t seem to find it. Can anyone give me a direct link? Thanks.
The good tastes half that understand what SF character design is about like FANG
The other half is praying one day the side-story girl will replace him
