Found another Kimberly post:

I don't think it's any preexisting character, it's probably an original character who was Ken's business partner and got caught in the crossfire.

Yet another Juri win pose: I love how much they're putting into everything. It'd be cool if this game saw the return of special intros.

Certainly could be possible, but like I said earlier, everyone had the 1 themed image and then the group shot. Even though Manon was in an alt outfit, it was in the featured 1 theme image and then was in her default costume in the group shot. I'm probably reading too much into this theming though.

So the debate on JP vs G continues; -Matbookworm points out that in the image, the man has lapels, while JP has a vest and the fancy half-cape -JP has some rope thing attached to the cape as seen in the "Authority" picture, but this looks like a thicker, actual braid of hair (also I think the rope on the cape would connect in a spot not so high) -On the edge of the picture, it looks like G's rolled up-to-the-shoulder sleeves -Others pointed out, no one has more than 1 card in the intro. There's the individual and then the group shot -Hair for JP is longer and very straight, this guy's lock of hair stops much higher and doesn't look as fine as JP's -Me being cheeky: World Tour mode would allow you to travel the world and eventually cross paths...with the president of the world. Eeeeeh?

Multiple create a character slots confirmed

I'm thinking original character for Kimberly's uncle.

I got super excited and thought that, but it's likely JP with hat. 🥲

Ken footage: see a bit of a game face and him doing the VS walk. When Guile is not selected, he's in the background.

For me I wasn't thinking financial, but more of character/ reputation assassination for some reason or trying to take him down subtly without acting physically since, like you said, they have a TON of money and resources and Ken's fortune would be a bunch of spare change. I wonder since it looks like in addition to Gill going public in SFV and the billboard poster in the first footage of World tour they're trying something different as they move into the public eye, but probably giving a sanitized image of themselves like a feel good cult with fighters. JP having a hand in Ken's woes could work though

Also Luis Bermudez is the new va for Blanka! Cool dude edit: Open beta Oct 7th

I've loving what I've seen! The little details are awesome: Ken's stubbly and he finally looks good Blanka has a slightly altered haircut and I LOVE his new job. I've been saying have his love of the environment play into his future Honda's starting to go grey and it looks great! New stages are GORGEOUS! Oh man, world tour mode looks freaking great! About Ken. I'm wondering if he got caught up in an Illuminati plot.

Man. all the footage from yesterday has me so excited. Every character has got a unique select screen animation that changes after they selected, the level 3's have 2 variations, game faces, etc. It's all so incredibly cool. I'm loving this new era Capcom. I can't wait till next week!

You make it sound like just scientology lol, if I'm not mistaken doesn't the lore basically say they "won" 2,000 years ago and successfully control most of the world as it stands in the SF universe? I know Shadaloo has uprooted things, but isn't the whole reason that the Society is keeping an eye on Shadaloo and messing with their plans in SFV due to Bison's plans affecting Gill's plans for the prophecy and not a threat to the organization as a whole?

The Oro line could be taken at face value, but I remember in the SRK days that, I think it was @Miðgarðsorm, pointed out that it's a reference to Robo Detective K which would have fallen in line with 3S's release. Then again given how big the urban legend is, that amount of time would work too.

You could argue that it's retroactive. At first, Q was a cryptid; seen in crime scene photos as some sorta witness. Then he started to appear so much that the CIA had to put out a statement, then nothing for a couple of decades in our time, but after the CRI profiles confirmed the old "Q is in Ken's SF2 stage" rumour, that changed things. So now Q, for whatever reason has been in crime scene photos, but also keeping tabs on Ken. The implications of his boss fight is that he's keeping an eye on strong fighters and challenging them, now for what reason, I don't know. G showing up seemed to be some random new character push, but then we got hints there's something more, then his stage (whether or not it's canon) ties in with the concept art showing that he's got minions who wear clothing similar to his story costume rather than Q. Gill doesn't recognize him and feels he doesn't fit into the prophecy, but something about his power is similar. We then get the bombshell that G is tied to the apocalypse and that Rose feels she should have focused on him rather than just Bison and Shadaloo. Also, someone in the comment of one of my videos pointed out something I never noticed. In the CRI profiles, Viper is chasing Q as of SFV. In Urien's story mode, she's tracking "strange, unexplained murders" when she runs into Urien and says it seems that the common tie is that the murdered victims are tied to the Society. Could Q be investigating this too? Gathering intel for G, or seeking strong fighters to fight G? Too early to say. All this says to me that G & Q (I DON'T believe they're the same person) are being presented as being around in the SF world for ages, but as we get closer to the "modern age" they're making their presence more known. Q's earliest appearance is now SF2, while G's is unknown, but it seems that in order for Rose's proposed time travel scheme to have any impact, she'd have to go back earlier than Alpha to stop G. tl:dr version: G & Q have been placed in Street Fighter's history and their stories are slowly unveiling as well as showing they're tied to something bigger. They're not just random guys.

Thanks dude! Hah, I don't blame you. I got sucked into the Twitter sphere since it's good for marketing myself for Voice Over and promoting my video work, but it can be quite the headache. Deviant Art is a decent place to post artwork, but anywhere you could make a gallery would be good, people love your stuff dude! 👍

lmao, these last posts have been absolutely wild. You guys are nuts! 🤣 Anyways, it's wild that Street Fighter is 35 years old, eh? Pretty cool to see Capcom doing more with the increased social media presence lately and the little online "what's your first Street fighter" campaign they've got going on. Pretty cool to see that things have changed what with SF6 having such a obvious boost in budget and them having frequent event appearances and even hype with Rolling Stone. Hoping the future continues to rise. Anyways, I've been inspired by Skort and have been messing with Blender. I made this yesterday:

Man, the wait till TGS is wrecking me. I'm so hyped for World Tour!

Definitely can see Honda advertising his business and vlogging about things he likes. They confirmed Dan, Mika,and her wrestling league pals have FooTube pages if you look closely at Gs story mode visuals.

Dude, that is BRILLIANT! I love it!

I was just about to post this lol. I LOVE these! not only are they charming examples of the character's personalities, but it's showing Capcom is in a good place with SF, to be able to just have some solid FUN with the series again. If Q or G are in this, I'd love to see what wacky animations they'd have for the walk down the runway and what options they'd have for the game face. With Q, you'd have to get creative, but it could be fun.

Ooh nice, I was waiting for these! I can't wait till the game comes out and there's compilations of all the special/ contextual animations!

Guys...holy crap, enough already
