They can easily create alt costumes for the cast. No, that's not true. You can just slap costumes on SF5 characters because all of the hair and clothing physics are handled procedurally by the game engine. That's not the case with ArcSys models. Every strip of hair and fold of cloth is animated by hand. Which means creating a new costume requires a TON of animation work that SF5 costumes don't, even though the models are also 3D.

No for wrong character profiles i mean the classic "little box" of info that every SF char have Think the small text section where they put name, birthday, height, weight, nationality, fight style, like/dislike etc... basically some sort of expanded ID card that is a classic of SF format There you have tons of straight errors or omission that can be for many reasons Sometime Capcom even fix it themselves, but they seem to don't give much fucks about these, so it may take very long before they fix it, or they don't even do it Good example of Capcom fixing it are retard SF2 weights, that got fixed just recently with SFV after decades lol Couple of easy examples can be - Zangief gone from very low 254 lbs (115 kg) to 400 lbs (181 kg) in SFV - Sagat from from ridicolous low 172 lbs. (78 kg) to 216 lbs. (98 kg) in SFV, wich is still way too light for a 7'5" man, but at least little improvement (ironically fucking SF1 had the best weight at 262 lbs./119 kg wich was never used again) Then you have stuff where marketing interference played a role to dumb down shit furthermore These i would surely love to see fixed, possibly with Capcom giving actual care about it But story events canon and char biography are a total different matter, and theories sold as facts/fanon/dumb wiki/capcomUSA (lmao)/fanfiction/not-canon media... they add even more pollution in the already difficult task to put together the SF canon puzzle, wich by himself already put lot effort on hide pieces in most obscure places lol Quote Link to comment

Our combined love for Lord Vega would be unstoppable! ❤️ Well, here is the man who can bring your "suicidal psycho powered dream" to come true: 😋 But, since in his recent tweet concerning SF2 outcome he totally ignored the SF4 C. Viper trailer.... and the latest timeline having SFZ3 and SF2 as separate events... I believe we won't have a canon "daemos in the mergeverse of suicidal madness" so soon...😅 Not impossible, though. On 1/13/2022 at 6:16 PM, Daemos said: He's the reason why Rose is the "Good half of Bison's Soul". Actually... not totally. That's 70% Capcom's fault and 30% Vasili's. In the jap version of SFZ3, Capcom only stated that they have the same soul and that Vega/Bison and Rose had a Master - Pupil relationship. And, given the descriptions of Psycho and Soul Power at the time in AAC (and if I'm not mistaken in AASFZ1 as well) being the same power (Vega's SFZ1 japanese ending and Rose's USF4 prologue) with opposite polarities, the conclusion you can draw is that Rose is the good portion and Vega the evil one. Also, from Rose's AAFZ1 account, we do know that Rose's master, from whom she was taught to use Soul Power, was someone kind who said to her the following words "One day, for sure, you will head to the battleground. Never forget one thing: 'soul power' is, for you, a powerful weapon and also an insurmountable weakness...”And, if Vega was her only master, that means he, at least while training her, wasn't the monster that we know... What Vasili did? Tried to join all the information that we had at the time, but with a little bit of his head cannon (and that was his mistake): He tried to fit in when Vega's soul got split in two. Since after murdering his master was the turning point to when he started a murder spree, he thought that this was when Vega "expelled" all the goodness in his soul, so he could fully master Psycho Power, that got even stronger when the user fully embraced evil energies, specially hate. Since Psycho Power became his late power, he thought that Vega's master actually taught Soul Power to Vega, who, upon learning that his hateful state of mind would lead to a much greater power, Psycho Power, decided to kill his master after learning everything from him. The expelled goodness of his soul would become (or would possess) Rose somehow. However, Capcom never mentioned anything about it. Capcom's fault for handling the subject so poorly. I do believe that Capcom had something in mind for Rose in SFZ1 and 2, but that changed in Z3. The same thing happened with the Shun Goku Satsu description back then. That the one receiving it was sent to hell and, their past sins would attract demons who would attack the soul. Possibly he mistranslated from Gouki's SFZ3 ending. The international version also mentions that the past sins is what will kill the person receiving it. Again, partially Capcom's fault. Now, Gouken and Gen being zombies....🤢😩 Edited January 15, 2022 by Lord_Vega CESTUS III and Shakunetsu 2 Quote Link to comment

At that point, to be fair with Vasili, It's likely a theory formed from limited source material and previous available information. That time everyone assumed Gen is dead already why he wasn't in SF3. Same with Gouken that obviously a clear retcon I think that time he just stood for what it was conclude and didn't take the retcon of SF4 as something before everything is laid out completely. I was there during the conflict but didnt intervene 5 minutes ago, Lord_Vega said: The international version also mentions that the past sins is what will kill the person receiving it. Again, partially Capcom's fault. Yeah, Can't be blame Vasili for that obviously Capcom had always been that regarding translation and inconsistency, they always had issues and Vasilli was just going to the more widely familiar materials and known translation.

That's pretty cool, first time i read that line from Rose's Master regardless who he was Some questions that come to mind from that, but most important one, will Capcom recognize/stick to this old canon? Who knows One sure thing is they STILL take very strong inspiration from Jojo's Lisa Lisa for Rose, as even modern canon have been written to keep the link/tribute to that character alive: Even without count the mask costume being JoJo reference, more lore related SFV Rose training two disciples in her Venice/Genova palace, clearly mirror Lisa Lisa training two disciples in her Venice palace. Even the two students themselves have clear links Caesar-Menat: both are the senior student, Caesar power take the form of ki powered bubbles that work pretty much like Menat's VT orbs and can resemble also her glass sphere Joseph-Maggio: both are the new student, Joseph use as weapon ki infused toy clackers, while Maggio has been shown with a very similar toy (a yoyo) and he's possibly learning to infuse it of soul power Later i will check something on Lisa Lisa past/training/master (passed a while from last time i watched JoJo), maybe some interesting parallel can come out from there too EDIT: ok checked a bit and IF Capcom will keep the parallel with JoJo, is more probable that "the kind man" who talks to Rose and Bison are two different people Basically in JoJo the Master-Disciple goes Tonpetty -> Straizo -> Lisa Lisa if we keep it for SF maybe something like "Kind man" -> Bison -> Rose I'm saying this because just reading a bit not only Tonpetty have solid parallel with the "kind man", but just realized Straizo may be inspiration for Bison starting as Soul Power user and switching to Psycho Power Tomorrow i expand a bit this 😄 Edited January 15, 2022 by CESTUS III Quote Link to comment

That's from Rose's account in AASFZ1. She also repeat this verbatin in her vanilla SF4 prologue. There, it was translated as "Soul Power is the one weapon you cannot control. It is your weakness. And it will be your undoing." Capcom have been pretty consistent with the old material. Very little was changed/retconned. Let's see if with the time travel they will keep it that way. I really would like to see Vega training Rose. But I don't think it will happen... It's interesting the 2 students thing that you mentioned. In the SF2 Dash/CE Gamest account, Vega's master had 2 students before Vega that also were able to manipulate Psycho Power to some extent. When asked about those 2 students on Twitter, Akira Nishitani mentioned that "a lot of things were made up by the videogame magazines" (without specifically saying what).

Its likely that they forgot about it being referred into one of their sources, since its passed along different people and management as years had passed. Or they just don't care about anything anymore from the earlier narrative before ssf2. Because sfz/a or anything inconsistency is always one the problem with Capcom.

He warned Zeppeli about how his training would seal his fate but was not forceful about it." "As a Ripple master, Tonpetty has trained multiple people in the art of the Ripple. He is the only character shown to be able to predict the future of someone just by touching their hands, displaying a high level of skill. " About Straizo as inspiration for Bison possible being a Soul Power user who got corrupted and gone to the opposite side to reach power and immortality: "Straizo explained that he trained in the Ripple to become stronger, but his powers only made him even more aware of his human limitations[7]. He admits having admired Dio's overwhelming strength as a Vampire and when the Ripple proved insufficient to preserve his youth, he decided to use a Stone Mask. In his search for a way to stop his aging process, Straizo killed friends and followers. He was ready to die for it, which was demonstrated when he killed the expedition group, along with his disciples" "All this time I planned on entering Hell while still vibrant and filled with energy, not as some withered desiccated corpse. I cannot tell you the ecstasy I have felt in being young again. " He's also the one who have Master-Pupil relationship with Lisa Lisa (as Bison with Rose): "Elizabeth (Lisa Lisa real name) was subsequently adopted by the Ripple user Straizo and learned the art of Ripple from him until her 18th birthday." BONUS Straizo's body get destroyed from the inside after his body got filled of opposite kind of energy and clearly say to regret nothing, VERY similar to what happen to Bison in ASF 16 hours ago, Lord_Vega said: It's interesting the 2 students thing that you mentioned.

While i think is kinda beyond doubt (for all the parallel i mentioned before) Capcom dropped Menat & Maggio as counterpart/tribute to Caesar & Joseph, i find is cool that you mentioned this (another thing i read for the first time) because i think lead us to another parallel again that may further hint Straizo-Bison thing Master Tonpeti indeed had 2 students before Straizo, who were Zeppeli and Dire This discussion end up being cool af to me, story-wise i ever considered just Rose as being heavy inspired by JoJo, but digging a bit i'm realizing the whole (very very little) lore we have about Soul Power and Bison past seem to come from there too lol 😄 Edited January 15, 2022 by CESTUS III sKreetFighteZ 1 Quote Link to comment

This includes nods in Zeku's young appearance and in techniques named after Kirin and Teki**, among others." *Osman was an arcade game known also as Cannon-Dancer and was considered some sort of spiritual sequel of Strider **Teki is the name of a mercenary squad the protagonist Kirin is part of Here visual reference for influence on young Zeku costume design, see that Y.Zeku's forward side only, tight fitting shirt that leave uncovered his back Fun last thing, he also created ki "blades" with his kicks like Old Zeku does Edited January 17, 2022 by CESTUS III Darc_Requiem, Phantom_Miria, Lord_Vega and 4 others 3 4 Quote Link to comment

OSMAN - is a supposed unofficial sequel to Strider. Which is also directed by Kouichi Yotsui along with many ex-Capcom staff that worked on the original arcade version of Strider. **Shukumyo**'s command are some kind of similar to Guy's special teleport command that only appeared in the Hyper version of SFA3 in PS2. https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/assets/def/img/news/promotion/zku/point_img1-1_en.png?1507876818 Edited January 17, 2022 by Shakunetsu Darc_Requiem and ShockDingo 1 1 Quote Link to comment

The base is similar as is same artist, but tbh he changed a lot, if anything this current style has been "invented"/used specifically for SFV There was actually lot of internet hate on his SFV work, good portion of wich was imho undeserved, but whatever... defend it was'nt much pragmatic crusade back then, sure af is'nt now that game ended it's cycle Personally only issue i have with him is that doing his SFV art he -apparently purposefully- ignored some things ingame appearance, and while at times i may agree with his vision more (example i prefered when Ryu, Chun and Gief had brown hair too), it still create visual incoherence Not a first for SF saga, but still Btw talk as a whole about SFV art direction incoherence is open pandora's box, so much to say that i prefer don't even start lol I just hope that SF6 art direction will 1- don't try to don't look "japanese" 2- don't go full retard trying -again- realistic shit 3- don't outsource shit, and if they do, have the art director squeeze everybody's balls at any sign of personal freedom 4- have a clear, uniform, strong vision that's expressed in all visual aspects of the product 5- ignore marketing cunts Get 5 out 5 is highly unlikely, but till first trailer one man can at least dream lol Edited January 17, 2022 by CESTUS III Quote Link to comment

Characters lack volume+look flat and there's more an emphasis on wilder expressions. Quote Link to comment

Yeah would not have hard time believe it SAME style? Nah, would say he did actually a long road from A to B Use of lines, color, proportions, in some cases poses, composition etc... he changed lot from his old stuff, he gone pretty experimental actually Not saying for better or worse, but simply that he showed up to SFV day with a new self as artist Edited January 17, 2022 by CESTUS III Quote Link to comment

Hit and miss, have good moments but also terrible ones. Person who chosen some SFV color palette gimmicks i hope will not be anywhere near SF6. Overall i would say it's "decent", wich if is'nt negative itself it's definitely below what i expect from the most important fight game saga of vg history Artworks? I can barely point what SFV artworks art style is... we have some shitty renders, some Bengus story art, some arcade endings by 78 people some of wich from udon, kiki doing promotional stuff, some cover art from fucking artgerm, some more shitty renderings. Bunch of styles and things that barely make sense next to each others Literally can't point wich is SFV visual identity because not even SFV people know it, only thing i can clearly see is that SFV art, whatever SFV art is, is not the best i seen from SF Concepts? I liked most of the job done, except parts touched by Kiki. I don't care (actually i do, but not much) for promotional art, but make Kiki do lot of alt costumes was a mistake... now some will say Kiki costumes were best, i can care less lmao Beside Kiki impacting otherwise pretty good concept production, real problem of concepts is that in next phase, beyond their control, 3D modellers took lot of personal liberties and as result good concepts were ruined. Of course 2D to 3D is'nt 1:1 job, specially with tech/ingame style chosen, but on top of that you have them take liberties Wich is why #3 of my wishlist have that if you really must outsource i would like them to work with art director breath on their neck 24/7... SF6 deserve better. The Bengus guy everybody complained about? I am NOT a fan of his SFV job. I liked some stuff he did, but overall his work disappointed me For that reason when i do a list of who i would like do SF6 artworks and a list of who not, he's in latter (would keep him for chara design/alts concepts work though, and ironically it's a more important job if we consider impact) But when i seen the kind of internet shitstorm people(nobody in particular, the general trend) gave him, most without even the knowledge to have a decent opinion to begin with, defend his position was like the lesser evil lmao But yeah, still fresh of SFV ask me list of possible candidates to do SF6 artworks and you will not find him in my 10 names Edited January 17, 2022 by CESTUS III sKreetFighteZ 1 Quote Link to comment

There are a few gems like Kolin' s story mode art but most of it is subpar with really bad anatomy.

Bro, i love Kolin's artwork so much and i also like her in-game model in the general story mode, it was so nice 🥺 and yes, whoever drew that shit needs at least 25 years to life for that 😐 Quote Link to comment
