The Super Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread

I bet this’ll be Urien and Akuma’s win quote to Falke:

Urien: “Another Psycho Power user? You peasants have the audacity to oppose me?!”
Akuma: “You dare challenge me with a toy? Your feebleness truly knows no bounds, little girl.”

Watch it be something lame like that.

Very likely, that is why I believe the writing works and individual story mode scripts in the background per new DLC character wouldn’t even take more than 3 months part of production phase.

An article on eventhubs posing a question about a second story mode.

I hope yes because fans these days are too bitches to appreciate good designs without story, see Fang or Rashid becoming popular only after ASF

I think Ed, Zeku and Abigail can greatly benefit from a Chapter 2

Also i ever said SFV ideal cicle is on 3 chapters

C1 ASF
C2 Newcomers
C3 Link to SF3

…as for me give me my fucking Color Edit to fix the game pls.

So you’re suggesting that Falke and G are the last newcomers?

I don’t think they’re the last, but we’re getting quite a bit of newcomers in Seasons 2 and 3 and it might be time for a story chapter to focus on them. For example, Ed is a story-oriented character, we got him last year and it would make sense for him to appear in a cinematic story now with Falke or wait not much longer for that; otherwise Capcom shouldn’t have made them in the first place if they’re not going to anything with them.

Also I expect a color edit mode down the line. It’s the only explanation I have to why the characer textures are so much aliased; because they would be made with very simple color maps meant to be edited.

I think that we’ll probably get that colour edit towards the end of its lifespan but the story mode will come a while after story mode.

The way I see it, I have a feeling that S3 will go down like this:
Cody in May
G in June
Sagat in July

Since EVO is in August, they might use the hype they built up from the end of season 3 to announce a new big thing like a second story. It’s unlikely but is slightly possible.

No but i think the main chunk of Newcomers is done with S2, specially Story wise

I can see them add more but in a way useful to developmemt of what we already got (example NeoShadaloo) or to link with SF3 timeline

Example :
-Tom (SF3)
-Knife (NS)
-Gorilla (NS)

Stuff like that, but not as new arcs “opening”, more enrichment to what is already happening

I also think the proportion will stay low as in S3, so i imagine we will see maybe total 4 new ones split into S4 and S5

I wonder if they’ll go with NG and make it Gill or 2I/Urien beating up Tom. I really wouldn’t mind if Tom was next season SF. So far, SFV has a great way of making side characters their own characters.

Also wouldn’t mind Effie.

Tom right now is my most wanted New char

Not only i dig the Leon-inspired design and the potential… MMA style never ot a 100% rep
They called Abel’s MMA, but was actually Sambo (with gi judo throws)

Will actually like see Tom as modern “american” took on MMA with a mix of boxing/MT/freestyle wrestling/BJJ

Don’t want Effie to become a char tbh, even if i will appreciate her have a more active role in Necro’s fights like Nadeshiko with Mika

While at it will be happy if we manage to not get blond girls anymore till the end of SFV LOL

When’s Gill? I’ll pl SF Vee when Gill is in it…

While Tom is likely I just hope they don’t pull a UDON with his story in SFV, I do think that he’d be similar to Guile in a few moves.

I only say Effie because the likelihood of Necro is getting smaller. Maybe he might if the Halloween stage is any indication+cameo in Rashid’s phone but it seems they’re saving Viper+Oro+Necro for last.

I saw this image on twitter. Is it official artwork from the SF2 Animated Movie? Vega survived the fight with Chun-Li!!! :open_mouth:

It’s from SFII, the game.

I was thinking… do I see some Natalia Poklonskaya influence in Falke’s design? There’s even the whole thing of changing allegiances.

Insightful!

Both Vega and Chun-Li are standing in front of the mirror post-battle. Did the movie take inspiration from these concepts?

I think the text beneath those images was translated by someone here no?

to be a violent gang member.
Her specialties are knife attacks and the Frankensteiner.

Ooh, two new profiles! Nice! @Midgardsorm, question, how do you pronounce your moniker? (Mid -Guard SORM [like storm without the t?)

Hmm, I wonder why May specifically hates Haggar? I wonder if there’s something deeper or just the basic: “He ruined my criminal fun!”

That’s how I always pronounced it. It seems that his/her name is based on the sea serpent from Norse mythology.

@daemos, in the SF2movie game release in saturn and ps had different endings, it confirms that Vega died because he didn’t appeared in the end with the rest of the Shadaloo in those several endings.
