Vega was the Alpha of the Shadoloo Kings in SFV. He was cooking Cammy in ASF like he was FT10 Prep Time Daigo. Although, he's always had her number. He did give Cammy her iconic scar. Probably should of borrowed Decapre's mask for that training session.

While playing the story mode I was in disbelief that I was controlling Vega for the 3rd(!) time for the sole purpose of bodying Cammy again. This was the best material for her? Having Vega perv on her ad infinitum? What were the devs smoking? I still can't believe how bad the SFV story was and the truly bizarre decisions they made.  

😆. Reads Cammy's Sf6 bio. "Distinguished herself in the operation against Shadaloo." Lol. This is just as bad as what they said  about Chun's role in SFV. Did they not play the SFV story mode? They clearly didn't watch the same one we got.

Just wanted to say that that Storm avatar is amazing.

Don't know how I missed it. I have to co-sign YagamiFire's comment. Awesome avatar. 

Thanks. Next to Street Fighter, X-men is my other obsession. Storm and Chun Li are some of my favorite fictional characters of all time. When I saw the Storm gif on the web, I knew she had to be mine.

I wish they had remembered that when they wrote the story mode of Street Fighter V

I was gonna write the same thing when that little nugget came out a few days ago but stopped myself.  Jesus, the  SFV story was just a damn mess! And am curious and concerned how the SF6 story is going to turn out. Especially given what Rose's SFV story hinted at for SF6.  Doesn't sound like a recipe for anything coherent at all.....

Here's hoping they can pull it off.

I kinda feel bad for Vicious cause he no doubt was probably excited and honored to do this.  But it seems like the prevailing attitude towards the commentary feature is that it is just annoying as fuck. I could see it becoming meme fodder very soon. This is only day 1 of a flood of footage and it's already grating  as hell listening to the commentary(although there were a few gems I'll admit). Oh well. He got paid. But yeah, definitely turning that off asap.

Ryu's stage music is giving off Samurai Shodown vibes.

Lol. That's great!

I understand the idea of new look, new redesign, new themes. So it makes sense to why everyone with a classic theme would get a new one.

 

That said, I really don't know how I'm supposed to feel about this. It just sounds like a generic techno remix with some Asian flair. I'm not getting any feel for Chun-Li with this. If they didn't want to use her old classic theme, I'll understand. But at least have her theme feel reflective on her changes from a fighter of justice to a Sifu teaching kung fu. I def feel they could've done Chun's new theme better that better expresses who she is.

At first I didn't like it at all but it's kinda growing on me. I think it kinda fits Chuns new graceful state of mind thing they are trying to go for with the character. Sort of an esoteric higher consciousness vibe.

I laughed and loved how Capcom mentioned that Guile went home to be a family man but now he has a new mission.

you mean as place on the foodchain, or keep them the same but getting some W?

 

Guess to some extent will be both, with cast being full of new young characters i think all vets are going to look way more powerful both because direct comparision with newcomers (we already seen Li Fen getting schooled with no effort by Chun in the trailer) and because given the time-skip, they will be actually improved

I don't necessarily even just mean about getting some wins. Just more about them respecting the character. They have constantly infantilzed the character and treated her, pun intended, like some fragile China doll. It's mystifying why they don't want the character to appear somewhat tough and competent,  or have any narrative relevance. I still can't believe how ANYONE at Capcom thought her treatment in 4(and especially 5) was anything but a disaster of epic proportions.

How did that make it to the final stage? Chun Li did NOTHING to hinder Shadaloo in 4 or 5, they made her look supremely stupid, constantly had her needing rescuing, interrupted fights she was about to have literally about 6 times, allowed you to play as her only once(!) and handed the glory of dealing Shadaloos final blow to Rashid. I couldn't have written a worse story for her if I tried. The best thing they can do now is just let the character have some dignity on the sidelines since they fucked up her major story arc.

And Cammy in 5? The less said the better......

I hope Capcom is able to salvage Chun and Cammy in this game. Their story and character treatment has been abysmal since SF4 and they've been crapping on them ever since.
