As far as I can tell. Falke isn't physically present in WTM. So Falke mains may still have hope that she'll show up as playable at some point. I thought she might show up when you get a quest from Ed to look for her. I resolved the quest and there was no actual appearance of Falke.

Did Falke and Ed just have a baby between SFV and SF6 ?

The X post also has quotes with Luke, Jamie, Aki, and JP too

Thanks! And yeah I had this avatar saved for a while (since SF6 came out I guess lol) but forgot about it until now lmao

Nice little thread about New Generation from Scotia.
 
 

Apologies if this has already been discussed before, I've been gone from here for a while so I don't want to really scour through 100+ pages to see if this was already mentioned lol.
 
It's definitely Bosch and they're definitely teasing his survival/return;

The person with the cap running with the other Buckler recruits has the same hair and scar across the eye that Nakayama recently posted for Bosch (which you posted in the reply I quoted). I'm not sure if Bosch had this scar before being blown up at the end of World Tour because you can kinda see something similar to it under his hair in the other artwork Nakayama posted;
 

 
Also to add a bit more fuel to the fire, Luke's birthday artwork has someone wearing the same hat as the NPC/Bosch. It's coincidentally just obscured enough to not see who it is for sure, but it's pretty obvious it's Bosch (thanks @Lord_Vegafor pointing this out on Twitter, I never noticed this until I saw you point it out);
 

 
At the risk of being completely wrong in the future, I'm calling it now; Bosch IS alive and will be playable in the future, maybe as soon as Season 2. There's way too many deliberate nods here to chalk it up as just asset reuse or some random NPC we're not meant to notice.

From left to right:
- Previous game
- ① Sliced-like scar
- ② Like the previous game, less grotesque
- ③ Claw scars (done by herself? Balrog?)
- ③ *
*same as the upper one, just with the eye closed.

Reposting for ease of access. With respect, he is definitely a kidnapped boy - both Capcom US and Japan confirm him as such, albeit one who was experimented on: 
 
In Ed’s V debut blog, it’s noted he was “kidnapped at a young age” - https://news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/the-young-commander-ed-joins-street-fighter-v
  And Ed’s Japanese blog post (by Producer Kansuke Sakurai) for his arrival in 6 also notes that “In the past, he was captured by SIN”

Lyrics translated via Google Translation @Darc_Requiem:
 

I'm gonna need that translation of the lyrics. That said SF6>SFV theme.
 
Edit: There is making of Ed's theme video up. Dude performing it has an interesting background.
 
 

This  is PERFECT!!! 😍
 
 

Yep! However, things coming from capcom usa are usually taken with a grain of salt... unless it's from a jpn producer/director. Even in SFV there are things that were wrong in the localization....
That was the initial thought back when SFZ3 came out. Decapre resembled like Cammy because of her hair (pigtails). Since it was said that she hails from Russia, it was a safe bet that she was kidnapped, enhanced like Juni and Juli and that a clone was made with Vega/Bison's DNA in the mix.
However... when Decapre was revealed in Ultra Street Fighter IV, producer Tomoaki Ayano gave the following statement: "We plan to talk more about her play style and abilities in the future, but for today we’d like to explore her story. For those not in the know, DECAPRE IS A CLONE OF CAMMY. At a quick glance she does look like a scary Cammy with a mask."
Two years later, Street Fighter V director Takayuki Nakayama, answered a question about the matter a few weeks after A Shadow Falls was released  (open X to see the trend):
capwpanda: I'm sorry, but I'd like to know which is the big sister, Cammy or Decapre?
takaNakayama: Don't know if "big sister" is the correct term, but Cammy is the oldest. It's defined (Decapre) as a clone of Cammy.
capwpanda: Is there a reason for them having different birthdates? I thought that Decapre was the oldest because of her appearance and close birthdates...
takaNakayama: I feel there' s a one year difference. Shadaloo is known for controlling the aging speed. Like with Abel.
 
Since Cammy DOES have a birthyear or age mentioned in some games (16 yo while she was at Shadaloo and 19yo during SF2, also her dog tag mentioned this info even during the Zero era), she might not have been submitted to aging speed... unlike Decapre.
 
About the clones being blond with blue eyes.... it's actually less DNA meddling. I'm no geneticist, but you need to activate several genes in order to get darker phenotypes.
That's the same reason the first clones (as far we know) were females (remember Dolly? Hum, Dolls, Dolly, Dolly Parton., big breasts, Juli....).
 
I don't think so. They age faster to age of combat (circa 15-18 years) and to be able to use some Psycho Power. That's the case with Ed, he was able to use it when he got rescued by Bison/Balrog while pretty young, his powers grew as he got older (he even tried to "Psycho Shot" Urien), and when the aging process got complete, he can snatch his opponents with Psycho Web. LOL
 
Could also be under Ring of Power stage....
 
 
It's not degeneration from her creation. Besides, have you guys ever noticed that Decapre's USF4 mask has a crack right where Cammy's left cheek scar is?
Probably Decapre got her face burnt from a mission or even training. However, I really would like to know what Psycho Contamination is....
 
About the scars, those are just production notes and instructions of how it should look (darker rougher, etc). The top right even mentions "something sharp. Balrog/Vega?"
 
Actually, the S.I.N. stage wasn't for making Seths. That was in a secret lab where Mike Bison was in charge to take care.
 
The actual stage is actually a exact description of what Smart/Smalt Raven before finding Vega, but i don't think it's the same location.

I didn't think it happened during her creation.  I thought it was because of clone degeneration as a result of Psycho Power.
Yeah, the blog says he's still part of Neo Shadaloo too.
 
Oh well.  Neo Shadaloo is seriously some Blue Umbrella level dumb naming shit.
 
"We hate Nazis and want to dedicate our organization to eradicating Nazis and helping the victims of Nazis."
"What's your organization called?"
"New Nazis."

Ed’s Japanese blog post (by Producer Kansuke Sakurai) for his arrival in 6 also notes that “In the past, he was captured by SIN” - so it seems pretty concrete?

From previous discussion, we concluded he was kidnapped at a very young age. The jpn sources hint that. Ed himself mentions, on the 2018 april fools Side Reader story that he couldn't even recall the face of his parents. Also it was never mentioned of him being created from scratch in a lab, like Abel (and Seth) was. He was always mentioned as being the young who was experienced on.
The localized text mentions he was made in a lab, but I think in the jpn actually mentions he was raised, or grew up in a lab.
 
You're right about the Dolls, with the exception of Decapre, who is Cammy's clone.
 
Totally looks like it, but that wouldn't make much sense. The whole place got engulfed in lava as soon Ryu, Chun-Li, Li Fen and Guile left the Inner Sanctum. The same happened with the Secret Laboratory in SFIV where that machine (BLECE?) fell to a lava lake, taking the fighters inside with it.
 
If that's the case, then SF6 Ed story might lead to him finding Falke. Remember SFV wasn't a linear story....
 
He did? I think that he will take over Neo Shadaloo now, even though he doesn't want to.
 
I think @YagamiFire is from Germany. He might help.

Well, the owl with a laurel wreath and N.S.  (Neo Shadaloo).
 

 
The owl and the laurel wreath are more positive symbols than Shadaloo.

That second outfit should have been his main since Street Fighter 5. It's just perfect!
 
Love the new gameplay and that they made him a pure boxer. Much better than SF5, but I've yet to see Capcom miss with a character in this game, so I kind of expected them to improve Ed. I trust them with their choices by now.
 
The stage also looks very cool! 
 
Can't wait to see his interactions in World Tour mode and maybe learn more about what happened to Neo-Shadaloo.
