    I did'nt said Gill did left a mark, just pointed how in after-SF6 timeskip we see Gill message being alive (due MC main square sign) and we have nothing on G being still around so far

     

    Not sure what the fights thing even mean as reply of my post, but canon wise in SFV we just seen Gill go through both Urien and G and lose/sandbag to nobody, so "he either lost or sandbagged all his fights" is false canon wise

     

    Post was'nt even about Gill but more a reasoning on G's absence being by itself something, Gill served as comparision with another similar figure

     

    I'm saying G in SFV wanted his global popularity up to have all/majority people of the world to follow him, the fact in SF6 we see no G after that big timeskip mean something interrupted his run/plan, be it Gill defeating him with people everywhere watching it on live streaming or something else

     

    For what we know G may be on his space station planning something as we speak, but SF6 just give us indication that his SFV thing did'nt had success/follow up


    I'm just pointing out that neither of them got what they wanted more or less going by SF6, both interrupted. Gill revealed himself but then what? None of his threads in SF3 came to fruition. Aside from that billboard which may just be an Easter Egg, the society seems utterly forgotten in the world so far for something that was supposed to be akin to the second coming of Christ.

    I'm also saying it might just be too early to tell and the devs haven't revealed all parts of the world they want us to see. Rashid helped propel him to fame so maybe we'll get something through bonding with him.

    The other thing about G is his ending specifically showed him interacting with Elena, Hakan, and Dan
     



    And you see them walking together like the 4 Horsemen. The Kenya and Turkey flag are in the Haggar Stadium, and Dan is probably coming back too. Perhaps those character choices in the ending are not random.

    The idea that the G arc was literally just season 3-5 of SF5 is frankly disappointing, but not impossible. I can see how Capcom thought of creating another pseudo villain like Necalli and use them as a plot device to explain the method of Gill's revelation and then have Gill absorb G's popularity. But the subtext of some interactions (Rose and Gill) and that stage of his say otherwise.

    Chun-Li being in Metro City was purely for plot and WT gameplay reasons (the same goes for Jamie. So now Yun and Yang protected Metro City Chinatown?) so that Li-Fen could be kidnapped by Mad Gear. There was a stage in China where she or Jamie could be.


    The China stage is probably for AKI since it resembles Alpha SF5's FANG stage.

    Jamie and Luke apparently have been at each other's throats for many years so I presume they are both Metro City. 

    I'm inclined to believe it is a retcon and Chun-Li was in fact doing her side gig in Metro City at least during the time of WTM. But for Yun/Yang...

    it's impossible to know if the image is canon


    It's not impossible. It isn't canon. That's like saying Dee Jay's retelling of Bison and Shadaloo truthfully portrays them as a rockband when it was in fact just they way he colorfully, metaphorically, and hyperbolically remembered things. Potential unreliable narrators everywhere.

    All three can't be true. 


    All three are not true.

    The sooner we move past these fairy tales the better and I'll leave it at that.

    Admittedly however, human beings seem to need spiritual outlets on a societal level that connects them to something they feel is bigger than them. A benign form of religion purged of all violent undertones and that can be in harmony with science is inevitably necessary.

    Im just waiting for a next season either getting a Mad Gear Saga WTM with FF and MadGear DLC character season or a Secret Society Season with SF3 characters aa DLC


    From a story angle, I think next season will expand on the narrative and themes of the launch story.

    I don't think they will introduce new plot (or new major locales) until the first Super edition which I think would show up in "Season 3".

    You think the left will keep the "islamaphobia" slogan? I assume the lgbt are a higher tier than muslims, nevertheless Most of these leftists normally retaliate by making fun of Jesus or something, so if they are all about "fuck you religion" as much as they claim, they should be shitting on Mohammad now but i know they won't  because left is scared of the actual reaction they would receive.


    It's something I could never reconcile myself with.

    On one hand, I understand that post-9/11 there was a rise in hate crimes against minorities perceived to be Muslim (like some Sikh and Hindus were also targeted just because of how they look to Americans) and this was unjust. On the other, the Left's unwise sheltering of Islam which at its core is a very conservative and totalitarian ideology is a trojan horse waiting to be opened.

    Is not about religion though.

    In most if not all countries is forbidden to have anything outside the national symbols on display on public grounds, like the town hall, etc., this includes USA.

    If you read or see the videos about what they are doing, instead of just assuming/just reading the headline, they are not forbidding it on private properties, they are simply keeping the even ground for everyone.

    They are assuring that neither religious symbols or any neo cult symbol is displayed on state property as it is already stablished by law.

     

    Is kind of hilarious to see people getting mad just because is the pride flag, if it was they banning the crucifix, you would see people celebrating instead. (Which BTW, is already banned, the same as the David Star, or any Muslim symbol)

     

    Edit

     

    And let me remind you, I am an aggressive atheist.

     


    I actually agree with the premise of the video btw. I don't want Pride symbols or any symbols (especially religious) anywhere near official buildings.

    I was only making an observation how the ancient hatred towards homos AKA the seeds of Satan has turned old foes into allies in the current political climate. 

  6. I think there will be another year or two added after WTM. The last 3 SF games all had chapters that take place 6 to 24 months after the main event.

     

    Unless Lily is helping set up the next chapter’s main villain, she should stop beating around the bush and just become evil/reveal Necalli in SF6. I don’t see her coming back as she has the poorest reception of the newcomers and usually only 1-2 of them survive the culling of the sequel.

     

    Unfortunately @CESTUS IIIAkuma will likely not lose to Ryu this game. But I think SF7 is the game.

    wow.

    that mtv ad. wtf who  approved that?

    people would boycott mtv...if it was still relevent. but it aint.


    I think the 90s were a much better time where people allowed themselves way more leeway to be funny.

    The ad isn't real. It's not even from the 90s. It's from an animated sketch comedy called Wonder Showzen. Still, things were better then.

    South Park is still carrying the torch for animated political incorrectness.

    Would like if the G apocalypse will have indeed apocalypse traits including the four horsemen thing... being the earth to rebel have them be the 4 elements would be fitting (and give us 4 bosses like SF2)

     

    Capcom already played on four horsemen after all, see FF Streetwise


    Very tough sell because I don't know if Capcom can follow through...

    Like they started the Neo-Shadaloo thing and they had their own "4 kings" gimmick and not only does it look reductive, it's practically a parody.

    I think the Secret Society had real potential with the elemental thing. They could've introduced other high members (that are not Gill's lackeys) like Urien and expand on the secret techniques. A long time ago, I did imagine that Gill and Urien had a sister that was wiser and more level-headed than either that comes to restore the old order to the society after her siblings' antics. This way the Society would have "3" like a holy trinity while Shadaloo would be the "4" like the horsemen. A nice contrast between the two and thematic.

    Going back to your point however,  it's possible that Lily is experiencing the Wind Horseman but the "SNH" and "Red ki" thing makes me thing it's something or someone else.

    I do hope we get answers in SF6, because SF7 is a million years away. If the G arc doesn't start during SSF6 then it will likely be forgotten. Can't keep postponing the apocalypse forever.

    My daughter had a few questions about Chun:

     

    1) Does she have a job other than the orphanage?

     

    2) Does she teach the kids how to fight?

     

    If you guys don't answer this I'm closing the thread. 😤



    1) She's still an Interpol agent but she's currently on a sabbatical to focus on family and the school. She helps Interpol when she can or when they need her expertise.

     

    2) She does! She's been training kids (and adults) for many years now! 🥰
