Darc_Requiem Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) I know Street Fighter lore isn't for everyone. It tends to annoy people only concerned with game play. So discuss the SF story, characters, and narrative here.

Phantom_Miria Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Normal looking forums? Who would have thought that such innovative technology was available in 2018! Quote Link to comment
GreatDarkHero Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Did Cammy give Chun-Li and Juri the treatment yet or are they still playing coy? Serious note: So many new characters have shown up sense after the release of the first batch of DLC characters. I wonder how all of the characters are going to fit into the next story mode? As if to say, what roles will the play? I hope there is not anywhere near as much jobbing as in the S1 story. Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Since the usual lore heavy weights are stuck in Discord....Discourse. I guess I'll have to drop my humor shtick and get serious for a moment. If we get a second story mode. What direction do you think it should take. I'll start off. I think the main focus should be on Ed's formation of Neo Shadaloo. I think it should be more of an Anti-Hero type of organization. Ed could be trying to recruit and give safe haven to victims of Shadoloo/S.I.N. experimentation. This could provide an interesting narrative and give a reason for Capcom to reuse the doll assets from A Shadow Falls. Some of the dolls would stay with Cammy and others would fall in line with Ed. He could have an "any means necessary" method to his tactics. This would give him good intentions but put him at odds with hero characters like Cammy and Chun Li. You could have some of the dolls that didn't get a move set fall in league with Ed. This would allow players to fight against Noembelu, Xiayu, and Jianyu. Decapre, Juli, and Juni could fall in league with Cammy. The Illuminati would be in the background. Gill, Urien, and Kolin would be using the power vacuum created by the fall of Shadaloo to their advantage. While the "hero's" are focused on Neo Shadaloo. The Illuminati would be setting the table for the events of SF3 to take place. Maybe one of the characters from the main story line would join their ranks. Decapre could be tempted by the possibility of having her scars healed. Or Ed could convinced to fall in line with Gills doctrine and roll Neo Shadoloo in their ranks. Just spit balling ideas off the top of my head. Anyone else have thoughts on the matter. Phantom_Miria 1 Quote Link to comment
mykka Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think the story will focus more on the characters from season 2 and perhaps season 3. Ed/Falke/Neo Shadaloo should be the main protagonists. Quote Link to comment

GreatDarkHero Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 @misterBee All I can say is that there are some positive aspects of the story but it is absolutely laughable in many other areas (not that such a description is that much different from most other fighting games, depending on ones point of view). However, it still leaves us with so much to discuss as to what is actually going on between the characters as well as what can take place at a later date (considering that Capcom hires some decent writers). EDIT: I still want Cammy to give Chun-Li the real business. Quote Link to comment

Miðgarðsorm Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Arby A strong giant. He frequently changes jobs, using his strength to seek employment as a bodyguard for various organisations. Name: Arby Height: 191cm Weight: 179kg Blood Type: 0 Birthday: March, 21 Country of Origin: USA Favorite things: Eating, Sleeping Dislikes: Horror Movies He’s interested in sumō wrestling since he saw it in tv once, and learned as an autodidact how to do harite¹ and buchikamashi². He’s unexpectedly helpful with people, and often shoulders his friends’ debts. It seems he doesn’t actually work for the money; instead, he’s only searching for a place to show off his strength. ¹ The standard sumō palm strike. It’s not technically a slap (see Honda’s Hyakuretsu harite often translated as “100 hand slap”). ² Sumō’s name for the head/shoulder block, often done at the start of a match. In Japanese pro wrestling is used as an alternative name for the regular Shoulder Block if executed by a former sumō wrestler like Takeshi Rikiō.

Miðgarðsorm Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) G Mr. G loves himself. He has no relation at all with that other "G". As a good delinquent, every day he works hard to his evil deeds. His slight clumsiness makes him somehow attractive. Name: G Height: 172cm Weight: 77kg Blood Type: A Birthday: April, 2 Country of Origin: USA Favorite things: His Hairstyle Dislikes: Money Management His favourite attack is the Kenka Kick¹! The "G" stands for "Great". Because he cannot maintain his hairstyle during rainy days, he usually doesn't work when it rains. He's very generous and always treats his friends to dinner, but as he doesn't pay attention to his money he usually ends up skint in no time. ¹ Standard name for the running frontal kick, aka "Running Big Boot". Its original name was Yakuza kick (because it was used by Masahiro Chōno, who played the part of a yakuza man), but, because of the Japanese tv censorship, it was changed into the neutered kenka, "brawl".

Darc_Requiem Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 They have to start somewhere. Honestly I find the work they are doing at CFN to be encouraging. The character profile are a nice way to build out the Street Fighter world. The side stories do a good job of giving insight into the characters personalities. What Capcom needs to do is make the lore from CFN accessible in SFV. It's something they've already created and it increases the casual appeal. Despite what pros and EH commenters think, they are a lot of people that like Street Fighter for the lore. Bigtochiro, HD-Man and Shakunetsu 3 Quote Link to comment
