Hey everyone, thanks for the kind words! I'm not a translator so I was a bit worried about messing some things up but I think I did a decent job getting across what Nakayama and the others were trying to say. Just popping my head in here to link a massive twitter thread I've just made of every SF5 character's developer comments from the Climax Arts book as I'm sure many of you will appreciate some of the stuff in them.

The timeline in the new book is just a (slightly) modified version of the one presented in SF:Beyond the World.
 
Pictures and tranlation by @Scotia. Thanks man!

 

Another wasted oportunity to fix some things....
And, as always, Nakayama and Matsumoto are REALLY dodgy about SF2 events... they even removed the entry mentioning that Vega wanted Ryu's body.
 
And... once more... SFZ3 and SF2 are two separate events with the Psycho Drive being destroyed during it's events 3 years prior SF2.
 
Also, Ryu defeats Sagat with a regular Shoryuken.

I think it's likely the case, as said rather than an all new character i thought would have been an evlved version of G or Necalli
 
Cheap if you ask me, but i'm waaay more tolerant when Akuma bullshit/ansatsuken recycle it's not involved lol... even if now that you make me think about it i fucking hated Decapre too
 
On other hand very last season would have been a very narrow window on the whole timeline to make shine an all new character, unless it had a direct follow-up with SF6  (like Luke)
 
Yeah, also considering the world tour thing SF6 give me the vibes to be developed in "chapters"... that's why i would not even be much surprised if Ken get some spotlight defeating JP, when will probably be hinted he was'nt the only "Boss-like" figure nor the most powerful
 
Fact itself Akuma is in S1, make me think Ryu will not be involved much n Ken's run at JP

It was probably gonna be something cancer like Oni.

 

We shall see. He could be a boss in SF6 because the story is not linear. There could be multiple branching and overlapping stories with multiple bosses.

You need a special type of villain to be the big bad of all, and the setting to be either a tournament or some impending planetary disaster. 

Picking some @Scotiatwits
 
Nakyama's thoughts on Laura; "When the idea of jiu-jitsu user from South America came up, I thought that only 'Sean's sister' would do. I thought this would give Sean a strong background for his apprenticeship with Ken...
I wanted to create a fighter with a cool personality who understands her own sexiness and is not sarcastic. I personally like this character a lot."
 
Awesome see so much appreciation for Laura, raise my hopes to see her in SF6
 
Nakayama also says that he was torn between having Ed's default be the hoodie or the uniform but went with the latter because of the fate Ed he's carried.
 
This is interesting because we talked about this often in the past. Ed's alt hoodie is essentially the actual look Ed canon wise have during whole SFV timeline events (ASF, him leaving Shadaloo etc)
It's interesting he still mentions Ed's fate, because from SF6 design thought he somehow break free from it
 
As said before, the plan for SF5 was to go to Season 6 before things changed. The original plan was to have Seth in Season 4, Gill in Season 5 then 'another boss' in Season 6 but when things changed they felt like they had to include Gill in Season 4.
 
This is intersting, wonder who the "another Boss" would have been... guess a powered up version of G or Necalli could have been possible, considering we seen official concepts of both
Could explain the "G is the Boss of SFV" shit 🤔
Also know a Season 6 was planned (till now i guess general consesous was that even 5th was something ADDED, that we got an extra one, but in reality we got one less) make me think we got robbed of something... lol even more reasons to feel SFV was incomplete shit.
Wonder who would have been the 5 others beside the mysterious boss... Sean made it as NPC and had a "SFV design" (the yellow V hoodie tracksuit), maybe he was a solid bet
 
JP is an important character who is involved in the story of SF6. He is indeed a villain, but his role is different than Bison, Gill and Seth. His logo (where it reads JP both ways) is meant to represent his duality.
 
From how is written here i'm guessing if JP may even be one who does good things too, but he's down to murder you as long fit his own personal gain... curious to see this symbol they speak about
Wonder if somebody else will fullfill the role of SF6 Boss, his words choice "important character", "a villain" sure hint his role but feel strange when he could have just said "JP is the Boss of SF6"
 
Though they can't go into specifics, Nakayama says that it is 'safe to assume' that if characters are added in the future post-release their inclusion will be reflected in World Tour mode as well, so it seems that World Tour mode will be updated even after release.
 
Expected, but nice to see it confirmed
 
 

@ScotiaThat timeline you posted is sure interesting, but it does not satiate sadly. Give me Shadaloo crumbs please to ease the pain. Dictator deetz for this forgotten fan. Any bits of evil will do.... but if you have hope to give, it would be best...
