I think SF6 getting such great scores even with this poor story, is proof that lore doesnt matter to most people unfortunately

Lore absolutely matters it's why people are so are so invested in the lore of MK and Tekken and why they're so considerate and consistent with it for the most part. 

 

SF6 is getting good reviews because it's a well crafted fighting game with tons of extras to please the audience. Those extras will overshadow what's presented in the lore because at heart SF isn't technically about that. It's about how the game feels as a one on one fighter. 

 

What WTM does incredibly is bring the world of SF and combines it with the world of RPG and Beat em up. Fans have been waiting for the day they could actually explore the world of SF like they could Final Fight. In fact WTM is a very good bridge between both titles and something that is long over due. After all Final Fight was originally titled Street Figher 89 and was intended to be a sequel to SF1. It's cross over to a beat em up genre ultimately prevented them from doing that so they were separated  by  them changing the name slightly and keeping them within the same universe. Now in SF6 we have a sense that they're back together within WTM. 

 

The thing is that if you're a SF fan then you're obviously going to be pleased with the interaction with all your favorite characters and newcomers. The thing is the casual SF fan doesn't know anything about it's deeper story save for the ones who are really invested into it like the ones in this thread. SF6 has been aiming  for more casual interaction by changing certain control schemes for long standing characters (Honda's Hands) and adding an easy operation mode (Modern controls)  which is something they've haven't done since CvS2 for the Game Cube.

 

WTM definitely caters to casuals first wholeheartedly. It's a very simple story which is easy to understand and you feel more a part of it because of your avatar. It's probably why people have given it such good reviews. Yet, make no mistake the people who know SF story and have seen a good storymode that follows established canon of a fighting game are livid. Just go look at some of the comments in the Youtube section for the WTM cutscenes and compare them to ASF from SF5. Some people are calling BS and rightfully so.

If anyone wants to skim through the cutscenes of WTM here's a video.

 


This is all style and practically no substance in terms in canon content. Most of the cutscenes ironically have little to do with the main plot of WTM.

You can literally summarize the entire plot in 1-2 sentences (spoilers don't click).
 

Spoiler

Disenfranchised resistance fighter (Bosch) travels the world seeking to become strong enough by any means to win a tournament back home. By winning, Bosch places himself in the right position to enact revenge against the man who ruined his people, but his plan is accidentally foiled by an old training buddy (You) and he dies.

JP was right... None of this means anything at all.

I'm sorry guys but unless Julia had Lily 2-3 years before being first kidnapped, there is no way she is Lily's mother. And there's a lot of gymnastics we would need to do still just to fit them neatly into the timeline.

Lily may have been originally conceived as his daughter but now she is just from the same tribe. A lot of cultures when people come from the same tribe it looks like they have the last family man.

Yea they cappin they Capcom after all.

Lily is at best a freshman in Highschool. If T.Hawk finally saves Juli(a) in SF4 which at the latest takes place in 1994 and SF6 at the latest takes place in 2008 then she's at most  14. 19 is like they're way of saying Mel was 5-7 when he saw his dad fight in the English version of the comic when in Japanese he said he was 4-6. 

 

She's supposed to be the new high school aged girl like Sakura and Karin were originally. She even acts like it you can tell she's supposed to be young. 

 

Also if JP'S tournaments take place annually and he's already on his 5th when in the prequel comic he's only just introduced them then there's 5 years between the prequel comic and SF6.

Ryu says that Gouken never died, and that he and Ken made a "painfully mistaken assumption" that he was dead. Even visited his symbolic grave.

Retsu also appears in the final Nayshall tournament.

SiRN's "copy fighters" minions look very Seth-like. I am betting if we snoop around there more or take special note of the graffitis in their buildings we'll uncover more clues.

The people who hired Juri to kidnap Bosch and subsequently offered to modify Bosch with PP are unknown to Juri (according to her) and likely unrelated to JP. Remnants or Neo I am guessing.

As JP's story suggests, his appetite for fighting grew after the first one. He might've had a hand in several of the novice or street level tournaments we participate in in Metro City and Nayshall, not just the national Su'valhal tournament.

@bakfromonBuilding on the previous point, I'm not sure how much time passed from the prequel comic until the end of WTM but I think 5 years is a huge amount of time in the universe - like Ken is missing for that long? Needs more investigation.

I see. Well, that matches what I said previously, however, we can't use that information on the plot guide. Sorry @BornWinner, I'm not doubting you or the streamer, but we need the name of the developer, preferrably something written like a tweet. If not, we'll commit the same mistake vasili comitted in the old plot guide. But thanks! 😃

I... really don't think he saved her between 4 and 5... to me, his USF4 ending was now moved to after ASF and Juli[a] entered a catatonic state shortly after and for a brief period of time. I think all the Dolls (with the exception of Juni) were retrieved by Shadaloo still inside S.I.N. laboratory. If he saved her after SF4, she got recovered from Shadaloo, entered the catatonic state, got better, got pregnant and was recaptured by Shadaloo shortly after giving birth.

That's why I think she got pregnant between Z3 and SF2, maybe even after SF2 when Hawk reclaimed the Thunderfoot tribe.

Ryu is learning the ways of the internet

All the interactions I saw with Ryu are so damn wholesome and cute. Like I didn't want to learn his art until I saw how cool of a teacher he is. Ryu is such a NICE man! He's adorable! It's like he doesn't even realize that this entire universe rests on his shoulders because he is so humble and down to earth.

I don't know how it looks or feels for new players, but as a player who breathed SF for the better part of 3 decades, this "master-student" thing feels so good.

I think they are saving something a shadaloo and secret society related story later on. 

 

The question is? Are we going to play as the avatars? or are we just be playing as the characters again?

I think the fact that Ken did not get his resolution to the problem set up in the prequel comics means we most likely are going to get more story material down the line. The success of MK Aftermath and hopefully SF6 means that there is an appetite for a second round of single player content enough to justify an story expansion.

Just focusing on the main plot of the game - I haven't gone through JP's tutelage but aside from Ken, we do not also have any conclusion to the fate of the Nayshall resistance. I think by its very nature, it has to be resolved in SF6.

They could address this SF5 style by introducing character stories in arcade that take place after WTM, but I am hoping WTM gets fleshed out more with more plots and things to do that are not purely for the grind.

@bakfromon

Li-Fen looks about the same age (hard to tell) in WTM as the comics. 

It's hard to say how much time has passed since the comic but it's definitely at least 2 years. If the gap in time between SF3 and SF6 is 6-8 years, Mel's age allows for him to be about 8 years old in the comic, then we do a 5 year timeskip until WTM (we need to see him in the "present" to confirm).

But it's such a big timeskip. Hard to believe Ken has been a hobo for 5 years and still didn't exact his revenge on JP or get his life back in order.

I'm not familiar with potential tournament formats but is it possible that these tournaments are bi-yearly? 

 

Edit-
 


All JP win quotes.

Amazing details into Juri's life pre-SF6 revealed. Her relationship with Viper is fleshed out. Her involvement with SIN. Her family. They even addressed how in the hell Juri and Cammy made it to England from Brazil in ASF. That attention to detail! We in good hands!

GOOD Thing they are patching things up, I hope that goes for Ed and Falke accelerated growth to be explained latter on... because that was one of the most questionable events that happen along with whatever had happen in SF2 timeline and who fought bison or reach him FIRST.

I hoping for something of a WTM expamsion, looking at how the trends in gaming works nowadays like in the new Diablo, Diablo isn't around or any of the main Prime EVILS(4 shadaloo or the main of the secret society)

 

I hope Capcom take cues for an expansion of WTM in SF6 for Shadaloo, like having a secret society season and shadaloo season as future expansion. but maybe i was hoping to far and beyond.

About the ending

 

  Hide contents

Even though JP loses he mentions to the player if the win is satisfying to them. He's definitely trying to play mind games in his loss because visually all's you did was beat up an old guy with a cane. It's not a satisfying win at all especially when the fight just before that with Bosch was essentially unwinnable. JP is basically taunting the player saying sure you can beat me but you couldn't even beat your rival to claim 1st place in my tournament and now you never will.

 

To some extent Arcade Kimberly seems to go in similar direction, with her W over JP giving her weird feel... and she come up with the conclusion "she's not strong enough to chase a monster like him", wich is strange after a W

Likely because it;s not a real W. JP is the type that would likely throw a fight to mind fuck his opponent.

I don't think JP's loss to Cac is a mind game. If there were people watching, then they would've seen JP's power which is bad for him. He's not some old man with a cane. I think what he says to the Cac at the end goes in line with his general nihilistic philosophy and misanthropy and his attitude towards the pursuit of Strength (the underlying theme of the entire WTM story).

 

He's basically telling the player, "what is this going to give you? It changes nothing - And it won't bring back your friend or impact the status quo I established".

We'll get more answers if the player goes to train under JP. I think the interactions and tasks JP will give you post-credits may shed light on what went down.

I think when Arcade mode does these "wins" you have to take into account other stuff. Like Juri and Chun-Li score wins against each other in Arcade so it's a draw for one reason or another. JP and Kimberly are both each other's rivals so it is also a draw.

Cammy and Cac are the only ones who score wins against JP. Neither of which were mindfucks IMO.

As I said earlier, I am now of the opinion that JP is a recent PP user - possibly in the 5 years since the prequel comic or at most since SF3. He's not on the same level as previous bosses.

He never recovered her after Alpha3. The dolls were in stasis at the abandoned Shadaloo facility until Juri recovered them.

They didn't go into stasis after Zero 3. After Cammy fixed them with the Psycho Drive, it's unknown what happened to the Dolls, with the exception of Juli[a] who was recued by Hawk. I really don't think they were to live with Honda (a production drawing showed Juni and Juli living with Honda for a while... with the 3 sharing baths and even the futon together... afte rsome time, Juli and Juni get married, leaving Honda 😅).

I think you mistook SOSNA lab with stasis: (timestamped)

Probably they rendez-vous there if something go wrong.

After seeing that picture of Juri and Cammy... smiling together, I would take what she says with a grain of salt.

I don't think so, sure, it's wise to take Juri's statements with a grain of salt, but we don't really know much about Viper, she could have become disillusioned with CIA work, is stockpiling for her and her daughter's benefit and who knows, she may have discovered something ugly in the government during the years of her employment. Corruption happens a lot in the SF world, so while Juri may be exaggerating and painting a more cynical picture, Viper could be chasing her own path away from the government. Who knows, maybe when she was tailing Q, he told her some earth-shattering intel about her superiors? Heh

Jamie arcade is EVER in same stage (MC street) as to show that unlike others that travel the world, he stay on his area doing his protector role, essentially are OPPONENTS to do the world tour ending up in your street 😄

Little update, just finished all arcades

 

Same goes for Blanka (who stay in the jungle promoting his adventure jungle tour) and JP (who stay in Nayshall hosting arcade as a tournament in his arena)

 

Cool

Guess we will see, would be hilrious if coward capcom wasted another brilliant villain concept because they don't believe on their own new characters to be able to compete with the past, when they're the ones to cripple their own stuff by lacking balls

 

By itself JP is already one of the best villains we ever got in SF, if they turn him into weak shit filler boss it's only their fault lol

 

 

Btw not sure how you made the 5 years guess (but i did'nt watched the WTM full spoilers, want keep something for my run)

To Guile: “Can’t tell time without a watch? The sun and stars are the only clocks I need.”

To JP: “Uwo? You uh- you smell like trouble.”

To Jamie: “That stuff you use, is it herbs that make you strong? Plenty of mushrooms like that in the jungle.”

To Juri: “Hurt living things for fun, and sooner or later, they’re gonna bite back.”

To Ken: “Living in the wild means living in the moment. We don’t have time to worry.”

To Kimberly: “Ninjastar? I’m aiming to be a Junglestar, myself!”

To Lily: “Plenty of voices in the jungle. The wind, water, and trees are always whispering!”

To Luke: “If you’re on a training trip, pay a visit to the jungle. It’ll be wild, I promise!”

To Manon: “Surprised? This is how we do things in the jungle.”

To Marisa: “You may have tamed lions, but you’ll never tame the true king of the jungle.”

To Ryu: “You walk around barefoot everywhere. That makes you plenty beastly in my book!”

To Zangief: “Blanka-chan is the protector of the jungle, and absolutely NOT a guy in a suit!”

 

Cammy:

To Blanka: "A jungle protecTor plushie? No need. I've already got a cat one."

To Cammy: “We found ourselves. Now we fight to defend our newfound lives.”

To Chun-Li: "Thanks for your help on the Shadaloo case. I'm sure we'll fight together again someday."

To Dee Jay: "I'm hardly an expert on the matter, but your music seems To be held in high regard."

To Dhalsim: "So long as I have my mission, a tranquil mind simply isn't an option for me."

To E. Honda: “Was that some sort of sumo sidestep? I’m reminded of my own combat techniques.”

To Guile: “My mission is not yet over. I have neither the time nor inclination to slow my pace.”

To JP: "Time To talk! Shadaloo's gone. So what in the bloody hell are you plotting?"

To Jamie: “Your movements are surprising, but we’ll within my ability to predict.”

To Juri: "If you know anything about the Shadaloo remnants, Juri Han, now's the time To talk."

To Ken: "I heard about what happened in Nayshall. I'm going to look into it as well."

To Kimberly: “I understand how you feel, but do leave investigations to the professionals.”

To Lily: "Those war clubs of yours are intended to give you added reach, I take it?"

To Luke: “Your movements are so erratic… Have you considered starting over from scratch?”

To Manon: “Your throws are impressive. I’m not quite convinced they’re suited to warfare, though.”

To Marisa: “You strike with considerable force, but my tactical analysis gives me the advantage.”

To Ryu: “Combat was simply part of the mission for me. But now, I’m beginning to see something else.”

To Zangief: “It doesn’t matter how strong you are if you can’t catch me.”

 

Chun-Li:

To Blanka: "Sorry for laughing. I know you take your duties as a protector very seriously... Heh heh.

To Cammy: “Bison’s gone, yet your mission continues. That dedication comes through in the way you fight.”

To Chun-Li: "My experiences have made me who I am. I will never stop moving forward."

To Dee Jay: " I think your music may be a little too energetic for my liking."

To Dhalsim: “Facing you is less like training, and more like meditation.”

To E. Honda: “A sumo restaurant? You come up with such entertaining endeavors.”

To Guile: "It feels like my techniques are a bit sharper than yours. Perhaps it's just one of those days?"

To JP: “Psycho Power is abhorrent. You cannot be allowed to use it for your own ends!”

To Jamie: "Fancy yourself a peacekeeper, don't you? That's fine and all, but mind your manners."

To Juri: "Didn't you exact your revenge? You can't let that consume you forever."

To Ken: "You were framed for what happened in Nayshall, but... I know you want To set things straight."

To Kimberly: "It makes me feel old To say this, but... your youth is downright blinding."

To Lily: “You remind me of a warrior I once knew. Perhaps you’re related?”

To Luke: "You may possess raw power, but you lack refinement. You've still got a long way To go."

To Manon: “You’ve got incredible potential. Work tirelessly, and you’ll go far.”

To Marisa: "China's martial arts are every bit as ancient as yours, I'll have you know."

To Ryu: "The more I think about it, the more I feel like it was you who brought out my true strength."

To Zangief: “Phew. It’s precisely because you’re not all brawn that I can never be too careful.”

 

Dee Jay:

To Blanka: “I can hear the rhythm of the jungle pulsin’ through ya!

To Cammy: “Music isn’t something ya understand. It’s something ya feel!”

To Chun-Li: “Nice kicks! Nothin’ more beautiful than feet movin’ to a unified rhythm!”

To Dee Jay: “The name’s Dee Jay, all! I wanna hear ya singin’, dancin’, stompin’ to the beat!”

To Dhalsim: “Oh yes...The rhythms you were layin’ down had me seriously fired up!”

To E. Honda: “Sumo wrestlers stomp their feet before a match, yeah? I can get down with that!”

To Guile: “Tell your daughter thanks for all the support, mon! She’s buyin’ my new single, yeah?”

To JP: “No worries, mon! If I fight ya, I know ya! You’re welcome to have my autograph any time!”

To Jamie: “The more ya drink, the faster your tempo? Now that sounds like good times!”

To Juri: “I don’t want to hear ya shriekin’ like a duppy. I want to hear the shout of your soul!”

To Ken: “I remember ya havin’ a lot more fire in your step!”

To Kimberly: “80s classics are bangin’, but don’tchu sleep on my new single, yeah?”

To Lily: “You can hear the voice of the wind? That’s what I call lyrical and spiritual!”

To Luke: "Enjoyin' the thunderous beat I'm layin down?"

To Manon: "You got serious grace, but ya hit like a truck! Consider me a fan!"

To Marisa: “Love your physicality! Every move ya make creates blazin’ beats!”

To Ryu: “Yow, baby! If ya plan to step on the dance floor, you gotta loosen up that footwork!”

To Zangief: “Ooh, I definitely felt that! Ya moves slam like ten tons of steel!”
 

Dhalsim:

To Blanka: “Let yourself live as you are. As you should be.”

To Cammy: “You’ve sensed the arrival of a new evil, yes? For us, there can be no rest.”

To Chun-Li: "Feel the movement of your physical form. That is where meditation begins."

To Dee Jay: “You live within tumult. How can you possibly hear the sounds of your inner self?”

To Dhalsim: “Go with Agni. Yoga.”

To E. Honda: “You have a fight of your own to pursue. Face it with intent.”

To Guile: “I sense within you the pride of a warrior. Of a protector.”

To JP: “You and your ilk inevitably appear, undettered by failure. Perhaps this is karma.”

To Jamie: “You heighten your awareness with your drink. In yoga, we accomplish this with breath.”

To Juri: “Hrm...If only Agni’s flames could cleanse a blighted heart.”

To Ken: “If you seek to absolve your guilt, I will face you whenever you so desire.”

To Kimberly: “Yoga means connection. Union. It connects us to that which is greater.”

To Lily: “For now, let your winds blow wild and free.”

To Luke: “The world is wide indeed. Walk it always with intent.”

To Manon: “Beautiful as it may be, it is not for show. Yoga is a flame that burns away the clouds.”

To Marisa: “Yours is a pure and pleasant power. May it remain so always.”

To Ryu: “Let us once again listen to our inner voices.”

To Zangief: “To be pliant and rigid both is not contradictory. They are but two sides of a single coin.”

 

E. Honda

To Blanka: “Matching wits with you is always wild! ...Minus the biting. Never been a fan of that.”

To Cammy: “Could ya quit dodgin’ so much? It’s boring! Just come at me head on for once, for cryin’ out loud!”

To Chun-Li: “Your kicks are killer, just like always! How do ya think my sumo slaps have held up?”

To Dee Jay: “Hahaha! Your songs ain’t much my thing, but you’re a real character, y’know that?”

To Dhalsim: “Those stretchy arms have never been easy for me to handle, but hey—it’s great practice!”

To E. Honda: “My sumo skills are unrivaled...and I’m just gettin’ started!”

To Guile: “Once I zip into range, you’re flyin’ out of the ring. Believe it!”

To JP: “You ‘ve got some boundless power there, but for now, you’re down for the count!”

To Jamie: “What’re ya drinkin’ to power up like that? Traditional medicine? That’s gotta taste awful.”

To Juri: “Still got that attitude problem, huh? You oughtta take up sumo and slap those worries away!”

To Ken: “You seem a little down in the dumps… Know what you need? A big ol’ bowl of chanko stew!”

To Kimberly: “You’re far from the first ninja I’ve met, but you’re certainly one of the flashiest!”

To Lily: “The power I’m sensin’ from you is outta control! Eat and grow, and you’ll go far!”

To Luke: “You just keep rushin’ forward! But when it comes to pushin’, I’m king of the ring!”

To Manon: “Watchin’ you is downright enchanting! Makes me wanna step up my show-off game too.”

To Marisa: “This pankration stuff is basically Roman sumo! Your pushes and knockdowns are fit for the ring!”

To Ryu: “Looks like I’m not the only one improvin’! Guess we’re nowhere near retirement, eh?”

To Zangief: “You’ve got serious muscle, but I’ve got raw unshakable sumo stubbornness on my side!”
 

Guile:

To Blanka: “Watches are symbols of precision. Not something you’d ever need, I imagine.”

To Cammy: “Continuing the mission, huh? I get it. It’s good to have something to keep you honest.”

To Chun-Li: "You've retired from investigation work? The caliber of your techniques say otherwise."

To Dee Jay: “My daughter’s played some of your music for me, but...Sorry. It doesn’t really do much for me.”

To Dhalsim: Your yoga’s always been odd, but your fighting spirit hasn’t dulled in the slightest.”

To E. Honda: “You always were a handful, but all I have to do is hang back and wait for you to make a mistake.”

To Guile: "I got my revenge, but my fight isn't over...Or maybe...it simply refuses To end"

To JP: “So this guy’s ex-Shadaloo, huh? Guess I know who’s responsible for Ken’s fall from grace.”

To Jamie: "You want To protect your Town? Laudable, but you gotta Toughen up a bit first."

To Juri: "Still up To your scheming? I wish you'd sTop giving me extra work To do."

To Ken: “That incident really shook you up… I gotta figure out what’s actually going on here.”

To Kimberly: "I don't know what you're after, but I advise you To stop. This is work for grown ups."

To Lily: “Huh. Your moves are indentical to a fighter I met, once upon a time. You’re a whole lot smaller, though...”

To Luke: “Heh. Even the unruly kids need a little attention time To time, I suppose.”

To Manon: “Your movements may be dazzling, but they’re little more than show against people with real combat experience.”

To Marisa: “Whew. You’ve got guts, that’s for sure. But I’ve been doing this a lot longer than you have.”

To Ryu: “As long as I’ve got you as an opponent, I never have To worry about getting rusty.”

To Zangief: “Be it iron or steel, I’ll slice through it. As many times as it takes.”

 

JP:

To Blanka: “Back To the Jungle with you.”

To Cammy: “Shadaloo is no more, my little Doll.”

To Chun-Li: “Strength is neither good nor evil. Psycho Power is no different.”

To Dee Jay: “I do not know your music. Likewise, you would do well to know little about myself.”

To Dhalsim: “Humankind reveres fire, even in the era of the atom.”

To E. Honda: “So that was sumo, was it? A delightful bit of entertainment, certainly.”

To Guile: “You wrought Shadaloo’s destruction. What is it you now seek in its wake?”

To JP: “Ah, that’s right. Did you make sure to feed Cybele?”

To Jamie: “Your ‘town’? I do not know where that is, and I’m not particularly inclined to find out.”

To Juri: “A rat scurrying about in Bison’s shadow...Or perhaps spider is more appropriate.”

To Ken: “Have you considered forgetting about me and returning to your idyllic days as a street fighter?”

To Kimberly: “Your uncle encountered a little accident in Nayshall. Nothing more.”

To Lily: “The Thunderfoot tribe? Ah, yes. Bison was quite fixated on the land they inhabit.”

To Luke: “I have no further use for you.”

To Manon: “Ballet is truly one of humanity’s finest achievements.”

To Marisa: “Sustenance and a spectacle, hm? The desires of the masses are unchanging.”

To Ryu: “Indeed, the path to strength is never-ending. Those who walk it are destined to expire along the way.”

To Zangief: “Seeing you, I can’t help but recall Mosolov’s Iron Foundry, tovarsich.”

 

Jamie:

To Blanka: “Blanka-chan dolls? Be careful. Selling those things on the street might get you busted.”

To Cammy: “Love the moves, love the speed. Unfortunately for you, I had the upper hand here.”

To Chun-Li: "Yo, it's an honor! Thanks for helpin' me train!"

To Dee Jay: “Haha, give Jamie Siu a groove to break to, and he’ll rock those tops all day long!”

To Dhalsim: “Yo, you can teleport? For real? And here I thought I’d drank a little too much.”

To E. Honda: “My medicine’s kinda like an energy drink. Don’t think it’s a good pairing for chanko stew, though.”

To Guile: “A soldier's job is To protect his country. My job? Protecting this Town."

To JP: “I’ll ask you real nice: Don’t bring any trouble to my town...unless you want your ass beat.”

To Jamie: “Win or lose, I got To keep my chin up. Grandma’ll chew my ears off if I don’t.”

To Juri: "No idea what your deal is, but it sounds like a mess. What if I helped you sort stuff out?"

To Ken: "Got something on your mind? Talk To me, my man. We'll get this sorted in no time."

To Kimberly: "You're a ninja, huh? Mind helping me the patrol the city"?

To Lily: “Traveling all by your lonesome? If you’re ever in a bind, just holler at ya boy.”

To Luke: "Next time ya see me, be sure To put some respect on my name. Got it, meathead?"

To Manon: “Your moves are pretty slick. Not half as smooth as mine, though.”

To Marisa: “Scary punches you got there. Too bad they can’t hit me.”

To Ryu: "Pretty by the book, eh? Not bad, but I guess you weren't able To keep up with yours truly."

To Zangief: “Just havin’ muscles to spare isn’t enough to put ya in the same league as ya boy.”

 

Juri:

To Blanka: “That’s one too many head bites, mutt. Time to report you to animal control!”

To Cammy: “You haven’t had enough fun either, have ya? Playtime’s just getting started!”

To Chun-Li: “The case ain’t closed yet. There’s plenty more playtime in store… Betcha can’t wait!”

To Dee Jay: “When I step all over your stupid face, I better hear you scream in perfect pitch!”

To Dhalsim: “Finding enlightenment on death’s door? Hey, no need for thanks. Just doin’ my job!”

To E. Honda: "Ugh. Squishin' a bug like you is about as satisfying as a root canal!"

To Guile: "To think you survived all these wars just To get whacked in a place like this. Bwahaha!"

To JP: “You’re a Shadaloo survivor, old man? I like the cut of your jib.”

To Jamie: "Got a problem there, Tough guy? What happened To all that smack talk?"

To Juri: “Until I’m satisfied, you’re going To let me do whatever I please…”

To Ken: “You’re a lot cuter now that your life’s been ruined, Mr. Ex-Champ! BWAHAHA!”

To Kimberly: "Stupid kid. If you want to play ninja, do it at home."

To Lily: “Lookit you, all leaping with joy. Makes me want to swat you back down to earth.”

To Luke: "Ah, the line between life and death...Gives ya goosebumps, don't it?"

To Manon: “I don’t wanna hear any crying, rich girl. You’re big and strong, ain’tcha? Bwahahaha!”

To Marisa: “Gladiators croaked all the time back in the day, eh? And it looks like I get a front row seat!”

To Ryu: "You're gonna eat dirt like a chump, and then claim it's part of the fighter's path? Barf!"

To Zangief: “You’re tough, which makes beating you down all the sweeter.”
 

Ken:

To Blanka: “The protector of the jungle? Ha ha. Never change, Blanka. Never change.”

To Cammy: “Read into my situation however you like. I don’t need your help.”

To Chun-Li: "If an investigation is required, I'll cooperate. But the last thing I need is your help."

To Dee Jay: “Sorry, man. But letting loose and having fun are the last things on my mind right now.”

To Dhalsim: “Spare me your enlightenment lectures. This is my problem. I’ll settle it myself.”

To E. Honda: “Gimme a break, man. Just facing you makes me feel like I’ve inhaled a four course meal.”

To Guile: “Looks like I have To learn how To fight on my own terms again.”

To JP: “Until I settle things with you, I’m never gonna be able to move on.”

To Jamie: “You’re the Town’s peacekeeper? Reminds me of some other kids I used To know.”

To Juri: “I know what it’s like To want To kill someone… but I’m never going To become like you.”

To Ken: “Feels like the only one who understands the nature of my struggles… is myself.”

To Kimberly: “It’s time To drop the spy kids routine. You don’t want To dig any deeper inTo this.”

To Lily: “You’re strong, focused, and determined. You remind me a bit of my sworn bro...”

To Luke: "Sorry for the trouble back in Nayshall. I'll make it up To you...sooner or later."

To Manon: “Your fighting style sure is flashy...Used to hear that a lot myself, back in my days as the champ.”

To Marisa: “Your punches are like a freight train. A welcome distraction from the crap I’m dealing with.”

To Ryu: “Never stop being you. Stable. Unshaken. After all… you’re the reason I got my start.”

To Zangief: “Going up against your brawn demands perfect focus. If I let my mind wander, I’m gonna be tasting pavement.”
 

Kimberly:

To Blanka: “Master Guy was right—the world really is a big place, with all kinds of fighting styles to match.”

To Cammy: “You’re a special forces agent? Think you could give me some pointers on infiltration techniques?”

To Chun-Li: "Those moves of yours are beyond cool! I've got plenty To learn when I'm up against Chinese kung fu!"

To Dee Jay: “That was fire! I swear, the way your moves connected was downright lyrical!”

To Dhalsim: “Hold up, hold up! I know yoga. That...was NOT yoga.”

To E. Honda: “I’ve heard of sumo, but...you don’t fight like any sumo wrestler I’ve ever seen.”

To Guile: "Whew. You're definitely Tough, but my Bushinryu tech saw me through!"

To JP: “My uncle died in that incident. I swear to you—I’m going to find out what really happened!”

To Jamie: "Whoa, that breakdancing was off the chain!"

To Juri: “Wow, what’s up with her? She’s scary. Like… legit scary."

To Ken: “Mr. Masters, can I… ask you about my uncle?

To Kimberly: "Stupefy, skirmish, and strike down evil! You're a Ninjastar, after all."

To Lily: “Wind, huh… Wonder if I could learn some wind jutsus.”

To Luke: "Keep swinging all you want, but you'll never land a blow on the wily and elusive Ninjastar."

To Manon: “You mixed judo and ballet? Now there’s a custom combo if I ever heard one!”

To Marisa: “Nothin’ more ninja than slipping past an opponent’s thunderous strikes!”

To Ryu: "How'd you like my take on Bushinryu? Unlike anything you've ever seen before, right?"

To Zangief: “Bushinryu’s got more than a few tricks to help me overcome brute strength.”

 

Lily:

To Blanka: “You know...You might just be able to hear the voice of my spirit too.”

To Cammy: “I make up for my lack of size with smarts and technique. Kind of like you, right?”

To Chun-Li: "You're strong, and always fight for what's right. The spirits say so."

To Dee Jay: “You’re awfully loud...But when I face you, I can’t help but want to move my feet.”

To Dhalsim: “You float, and yet you’re not a spirit. How odd...I want to know more!”

To E. Honda: “I love food, sure, but I’d rather not become sumo-sized!”

To Guile: “I must hone my technique to fight on behalf of my tribe. That is a warrior’s duty.”

To JP: "The spirits urge me...To keep my distance from you."

To Jamie: “Show me around when I visit your town, okay? I’m gonna take so many photos!”

To Juri: “If you ask me, fighting so heartlessly is only going to hurt your soul.”

To Ken: “If you’re troubled, a journey can do a world of good. That’s what the spirits taught me.”

To Kimberly: “Wow, that was a really interesting take on ninjutsu. Not what I expected at all!”

To Lily: “I’m a Thunderfoot warrior. As I travel, I only grow stronger!”

To Luke: "You enjoy traveling? Me Too. Journeys are what make a warrior really shine."

To Manon: “The spirits aren’t just some fairy tale. You realized that when you were a kid, didn’t you?”

To Marisa: “Don’t worry about your physical stature. What matters is that you’re a warrior.”

To Ryu: “You’re a warrior, Ryu. A truly amazing one. I can tell.”

To Zangief: “I could hear your footsteps coming from two mountains over. You're strong - like a bear!”
 

Luke:

To Blanka: “Blanka-chan, huh? Nice. Gimme a weird and wacky souvenir any day and I’ll be happy.”

To Cammy: “Those moves of yours sure are practical. They definitelt get the job done, eh?”

To Chun-Li: "Those kicks pack some serious oomph! One solid hit and it could've been lights out."

To Dee Jay: “Ha ha! Now that’s what I’m talking about! You know how to make a fight fun.

To Dhalsim: “Seein’ guys like you makes me realize just how big the world truly is.”

To E. Honda: “I figured I needed to meet your charges head on, but damn—those slaps sting!”

To Guile: “Thanks for the training exercise, sir!”

To JP: “As much as I want to give you a piece of my mind, I’m not the guy who’s got a score to settle.”

To Jamie: “Heh! And that's a win for me. Got anything To say, pretty boy?"

To Juri: “If you're looking for a deathmatch, go somewhere else."

To Ken: “Gimme all the details once you settle the score. Till then, I’ll be waitin’, Champ.”

To Kimberly: A Ninja...star? Heh. Damn, that's got a nice ring To it!"

To Lily: “Not sure what all this spirit talk’s about, but damn, you’re practically a human tornado!”

To Luke: “Have I gotten stronger? What do you think, bud?”

To Manon: “Can’t say I know much about ballet, but those moves of yours sure are brisk!”

To Marisa: “Hell yeah! I always wanted to have an all-out slugfest!”

To Ryu: Damn. I've gotta beat you more than a few times before I figure out what makes you so strong."

To Zangief: “Damn, that body of yours is tough as hell! What kind of training do they do where you’re from?”

 

Manon:

To Blanka: "Bite marks, electric shocks...This jungle cruise certainly was full of surprises! Ha ha!"

To Cammy: "Careful training guides your movements. I'm sure they've served you well on the battlefield."

To Chun-Li: “Kung Fu means "hard work" yes? Concealing my effort is part of how I do things.”

To Dee Jay: “Why, if it isn’t one of my followers. I’ll be sure to upload this match straight away.”

To Dhalsim: “Your flame burns brilliantly. Imagine it lighting up the carnival’s night sky.”

To E. Honda: “I’m not expert on the matter, but sumo wrestling strikes me as one of the stranger martial arts.”

To Guile: “Did you go easy on me because I don’t do this for a living? Quite the softie, I see.”

To JP: “I usually live and let live, but you? You, I despise.”

To Jamie: “That was breakdancing? To me, it looked like you were simply spinning like a top.”

To Juri: “True to form, your bark was frightful—your bite, less so.”

To Ken: “If only I could have met you during your prime, as the US martial arts champion.”

To Kimberly: “Jumping won’t help. Once I catch you, you’ll be thrown all the same.”

To Lily: “A wind spirit? How lovely. It’s like something straight out of a fairy tale.”

To Luke: “If this were a contest of sheer force and bravado, I suspect you’d win by a landslide.”

To Manon: “Heh. I really am quite unstoppable, aren’t I?”

To Marisa: "You enjoy fighting powerful opponents, do you? In that case, I'd be happy To go another round."

To Ryu: “Getting to encounter a true figther like you makes these mixed-style battles worthwhile.”

To Zangief: "Muscles are beautiful? I quite agree. I always choose the finest cuts of meat at the butcher shop.

 

Marisa:

To Blanka: “Whoa, I’d better watch it! Your fangs are sharper than a lion’s!”

To Cammy: "Your speed's impressive, but I only need one hit To dictate the pace of the match!"

To Chun-Li: Your Chinese Martial Arts are incredible! Thing is, I've got history backing me up too!"

To Dee Jay: “When you fight me, you can hear the cheers of the ancient colosseum, can you not? Hahaha!”

To Dhalsim: “Wow, you actually breathe flames. Betcha that’d get the colosseum fired up!”

To E. Honda: "Pushes, slaps, and slams? I've always been a fan of how sumo wrestlers do things!"

To Guile: “There are few things more satisfying than fighting someone with ironclad defense!”

To JP: “I was hoping to have a fight that felt a little less… unnerving, but you do you.”

To Jamie: “Bet taking a punch from me brought you back down to earth, hmm? Hahaha!”

To Juri: “Pankratiasts must be prepared to die...Or to clobber opponents within an inch of their life.”

To Ken: “Getting to square off against those fiery fists of yours? That’s my idea of a good time!”

To Kimberly: “Dart around like a mosquito and you’re gonna get swatted down!”

To Lily: “I was a little worried I’d end up trampling you, little flower, but you’re tougher than you look!”

To Luke: “You charge like a raging bull...And I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

To Manon: "You're pretty strong! Thing is...so am I! Gwahaha!"

To Marisa: “Hahaha! We’ve been duking it out in the ring since 648 BCE!”

To Ryu: “Aah… Now THAT was a brawl! Wanna go one more round?

To Zangief: "Now that's what I'm talkin' about, Red Cyclone! Whaddaya say To partnering up?"

 

Zangief:

To Blanka: “Blanka-chan”? Planning a career change to costumed wrestler?”

To Cammy: “Go on, relax your shoulders! True power comes from stress-free muscles!”

To Chun-Li: “Kick me all you like! I’ll take every hit in stride and dish out twice as much in return!”

To Dee Jay: "Hear that? It's the rhythm of STEEL, ringing out from the forge day in and day out!"

To Dhalsim: “Hmph! Yoga may be flexible like a noodle, but my muscles are immovable objects!”

To E. Honda: “A chanko stew restaurant? I’ll take extra meat with my order!”

To Guile: “Nothing makes me appreciate my training more than having your blows bounce off me!”

To JP: “If you mix devious evil with raw power, I’ll have no choice but to bury your face in concrete!”

To Jamie: “This is not time to be spinning like a top, boy! Come- we train!”

To Juri: “Go ahead, try kicking me while I’m down! Your puny feet will bounce right off me!”

To Ken: “If you have time to waste overthinking things, you have time to hit the weights! HRRAH!”

To Kimberly: “If you’re trying to become a real star, drop by the ring any time you like!”

To Lily: “You may be small, but your power is colossal! I sense the bloodline of a warrior in you.”

To Luke: “Wondering about my workout? Wonder no more! I’ll train you to be big and strong!”

To Manon: “Your ballet is delightful, but your fighting could use some serious work!”

To Marisa: “Y-You want me to be your partner? Somehow, I doubt you’re talking about a tag team match...”

To Ryu: “You’ve got spirit in spades, but it’ll take more than that to bring me down! Gwah hah hah!”

To Zangief: “Steel forged in great flames does not rust so easily...and neither does this body!”

 

Let me know if I made any mistakes or missed some.

It's hard to say how much time has passed since the comic but it's definitely at least 2 years. If the gap in time between SF3 and SF6 is 6-8 years, Mel's age allows for him to be about 8 years old in the comic, then we do a 5 year timeskip until WTM (we need to see him in the "present" to confirm).

But it's such a big timeskip. Hard to believe Ken has been a hobo for 5 years and still didn't exact his revenge on JP or get his life back in order.

I'd say 4 years then because if the tournament JP holds is annual which I'm starting to think it is (why hold a special cultural tournament bi yearly) and the first one is in the comic then you would have an additional 4 years til the 5th one

 

JP didn't kill Kalima like we thought and she is the missing NGO employee mentioned in Ken's arcade intro and she has graying hair now. spacer.png

 

Mel also looks to be older now almost as if he's a teenager. That's because he's around 9-12 in the comic if you're using a 6-8 year timeskip from SF3 when he was 3-4yrs old. Now you add another 4 years to the comic and you have Mel at 13-16 years old.

@CESTUS IIII’m afraid they are going there. I really wanted a completely new villain (no pp nothing), but all signs point to this guy being kinda of a fan of Bison. He talks about him and knows about him whenever he can but rarely negatively (madman kinda isn’t a badword on these circles). He’s a man of culture and appreciates things as an outsider.
 

He’s an excellent villain. Well acted, and some of the best line deliveries the series has seen. But I think he made a deal with the devil. Maybe his nihilism, misanthropy, and curiosity got the best of him. Or maybe he is evil just like the people he does business with.

 

The sequence of events before the final fight in WTM will always be iconic thanks to him.

4 years is acceptable, and logical. I didn’t see Mel before so this makes even more sense now.

 

I’m surprised Eliza didn’t divorce his ass though. 4 years of no dick is hard (pun!).

Just to wrap up all the ones I've missed until this point.

 

Chun-Li To Zangief: “Phew. It’s precisely because you’re not all brawn that I can never be too careful.”

 

Thoughts: As usual with most of the original WWs, there is a clear respect for Zangief as a fighter. Solid. 

 

 

Dee Jay To Chun-Li: “Nice kicks! Nothin’ more beautiful than feet movin’ to a unified rhythm!”

 

Thoughts: Nah Dee Jay, nothing more beautiful than the one you giving this win quote too. ❤️

That aside, still an air of respect to be expected from the WWs, so solid quote again. I think my favorite part about this quote is the "unified rhythm" part, as it can be taken both literally and metaphorically. Literally because Dee Jay is a musician and his beat influences his fighting. But metaphorically because just like in WTM, we're all after the same thing, looking for strength and bettering ourselves. I feel Dee Jay and Chun do that well into their later years.

 

 

E. Honda To Chun-Li: “Your kicks are killer, just like always! How do ya think my sumo slaps have held up?”

 

Thoughts: I'm curious how many on the SF Story thread would be on team Lightning Kicks vs Hundred Hand Slaps.

Same as the previous, acknowledgement of strength and respect. It would be fun to see the fastest and strongest legs in SF taking on the fastest and most overwhelming hands in SF. That would be a very fun spectacle indeed. 

 

 

Zangief To Chun-Li: “Kick me all you like! I’ll take every hit in stride and dish out twice as much in return!”

 

Thoughts: Well, the man did break a psycho doll's samurai sword slash with the power of his chesticles in ASF. I wouldn't be surprised if Gief really does have iron underneath those muscles of his.

Def a lot more jovial Gief in this one. Though we can also infer there will always be a acknowledgement of respect between the two. I guess another way to infer this would be that Gief is letting Chun-Li know that her strong kicks will help make Gief stronger as well.

 

 

(And with that, we done until the new characters come out. Thanks Story Fam for always letting me indulge in this)
