Here my take for an SF game plot that is not a prequel to SF2, SF1 or SF3. An SF6 or some sort
Urien can be the one that host a battle royale in an island, where he kidnaps some fighters that include G and bunch of new characters from SF4 and SFV mix with alpha and zero.
Why I choose Urien?
- His absent in the early SF3 games would make sense.
Whats Urien’s purpose?
- Wanting to limit the other better fighters to participate in Gills tournament.
- Gill is force to invite newer and younger fighters (new generation) because uberknowst to him that the others were kidnap by his brother.
S-E-C-O-N-D OPTION / Alternarive plot settings.
Is there another way that you can make this work with it not uberknowst to Gill?
Gill assigned Urien to trick and gather other known fighters that had huge participation and involve in Shadaloo destruction and to separate them from those that were not corrupted or near by it.
So that Gill’s tournament participants would be for the cleanse, pure and untainted by the likes of Shadaloo. And it would be easier for him to pick the choosen one easily.
How do you handle the likes of G from his involvement and participation?
He can be took as the host and front of the event while also being another fighter and participant, because Urien is not revealing also himself, he is hidden.
-
If his a good guy… he is trick of what the true motivation and goal behind the event. Then betrays Urien and Gill after knowing their true intentions.
-
If his a bad guy… he wants tl be the president under the rule of Gill. Ends up fighting Urien and loses.
Characters, Participants and When? Or which timeline is it set?
It’s during and within SF3 timeline, it is set and happening simultaneously from NG to SI not after 3S or within 3S. To avoid conflict with Urien and Chun li in 3S and can also give connection to SF3 characters to justify their presence
Why set it within SF3 timeline instead of after or before?
It is to justify the absent of other characters from previous SF like SF2 and SFA, plus it also gives a reason why new characters from SF4 and SF5 were absent and weren’t present in Gills tournament.
Why a Battle royale set in an island?
Like I said is to have a justification why the other new and old fighters from various game were not to be seen in SF3 games.
Other option than than them being kidnap?
Or how do make them as willing participants?
-
They could be offered position in an unknown organization, prized money or an important information that can be personal or part of their mission.
-
Other options were they were told and informed differently(misled) of what they supposed to do and find in the island… to make them go there… like they were supposed to see the last of shadaloo secret base but hears a different announcement and instructions when they were there finally.
-
They were there to investigate a suspicious activities of an organization that they though to be another shadaloo activity. Which false and untrue because they were either trick to be there or they have false assumption that it was shadaloo.
How do you handle recurring characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun li, Urien and Akuma?
It’s okay for them.to be there since there participation on SF3 wasn’t entirely a huge area for example Chun li was going after Urien.
While the likes of Ryu can be retcon to be just wondering rather than participating, while Ken just training Sean and just been met by other characters(in that game)…
So it justify there presence even they weren’t in the island or involve in the event because they were met before the other character go to the event. Like Akuma in most of the games or how the real Kyo and Iori in KOF99 were absent but still there. This can be done also to Ryu.
So how about popular SF3 characters that would need to appear also because of demands and request but was also in Gill tournament.
How would you deal with that?
Like I said also in how to deal to the likes of Ryu, Ken and Chun li. Just make them have another character in that event met them earlier or after so there appearance still make sense. Others like Ibuki can be also part by going there even being uninvited. by the secret society.
Take a look back even with the character in the previous SF iteration just either need to meet and interact atleast with one character (sometimes none if his a what if) in that story timeline to be a selectable character in game, no requirement for him to encounter every character in game since the most is what if encounter.
So basically you can throw anyone there while justifying the absence of the other characters, both old and new that weren’t seen in SF3 games.
