The Ultra Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread

Costumes in SF5 was kinda more loosely on the character personality than what was in SF4. In SF4, Capcom stated at the beginning when introducing costumes that they would make costumed relevant to the character, maybe soon those became loosely to the original intentions as SF4 expansion release while SFV we got RedBull Ryu and Chun li.



Why is the concept art so obsessed with cowboy chaps lately? Are we gonna see Honda wearing chaps when his concept art comes out?

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! Chaps are against the Honda Sento dress code.

Actually, KM originated in Czechoslovakia so they could use that instead of Israel.

Speaking of costumes, I know it’s a little thing, but I’m kind of pissed off Poison’s nostalgia costume is her Final Fight one, not her SFIV/III one. They are basically the same, so I don’t mind having the FF one there and I don’t give a shit if her shirt strap is down or up, but the fact there is no color option for the SFIV on is kind of wack.

I quite like the last one…

The creator of KM was a jew who passed his youth there but founded the KM system in Israel when training the israeli army (wich he was actively help to built)

KM Is so close linked to israeli army that tbh will be even offensive actively dodging a jew character for it lol

While at It sf3 had ideas for a jew fighter and a jew golem (lol), but they got different balls back then lol

Tbh that’s just marketing, trying to sound SO different

KM have a big component of smart marketing to some extent are the new McDojo lol

Reality Krav Maga is just another martial art like many others built taking parts from existing styles (wich Is not a bad thing)

Only real difference Is between martial arts and fight sports, the latter styles being designed to stay inside a sport rules set

But still i consider also fight sports to be martial arts

It’s only really using Israel that would be problematic, even back in SF2 times. Besides not all Jews are Israeli.

Honestly, it’s high time we got a KM user but using a Israeli soldier is all kinds of awkward.

Get a Jew from NY using it. Obviously

Ideally
Israel > Czech Rep (Prague) > NY

First two give me a new nationality, third just more NY/USA spam in SF

But as said i will have accepted C.Viper having It, at least she will have been useful to something lol
It’s something i will welcome of she sneak in in 2020

If Capcom avoided giving FANG and Rashid countries officially, I sincerely doubt they will give any character in the future an Israeli nationality.

Just make a blonde Israeli female commando who’s a rival to Rashid in the story and counters him in the game, who’s top tier and calls everyone else a goy.

Then take a step back and watch as the world burns. :slight_smile:

The design guy might be the same who designed original SFV Juri, so he must have been royally pissed off by whoever pulled the leather under leather censorship for Juri, and now he won’t rest until he has his chap pants on someone else.

Feel sad for him, please approve an alt costume, it will still be better than an animal or Mega Man one.

I can’t approve this, another blonde girl in sfv will offend my sensibility

I have long wanted a female Israeli Krav Maga user.

And also an Indonesian Pencak Silat user.

Look, you’re not wrong, but i need a Dutch kickboxing rep and Tom repping MMA before these

The lack of Dutch kickboxer rep as crime is second only to taekwondo/korean taking 20+ years to appear

Bah, we already have a kickboxer. Bring me those new MAs!
