People calling Alpha a spinoff are being delusional as hell now.
Prequels are NOT Spinoffs people.
So why is it that this "spin off" has been given much more importance than SF 3 , A supposed "Mainline" game.
Also why is it Capcom invested a lot more time and money on a "spinoff" franchise.
And Why is it that multiple plot lines of this "spinoff" is considered canon.

If Alpha is a spin-off then SF2,3,4,5 is a spin off too lol.
There's gotta be somewhere here that we're missing. Anyway to enhance it?

So what's the problem? you should really be happy cause it's almost confirmed that alex is coming. If the siliconera leak is true and it most likely is he will be revealed in a week or two. Relax.
I believe he is mocking the people that like Alex

So what exactly goes wrong if Alex and Urien pop up in the top row over there. Near Ryu and Ken.
SSF4 also had a similar layout. Notice how the SF 3 characters are just bunched up.
It doesnt HAVE to be a perfect rectangle or something.

Gief and Sim are in the same block as Ryu, Ken and Chun in that SSF4 pic.
Hmm...
Of course they can be spin-offs. Better call Saul is a spin-off and prequel to Breaking bad as one example.
Because the spin-off franchise became just as popular as the main games. It happens a lot in entertainment. It's a sub-series in the SF games, that's not a negative or a positive, but it is a series that is a spin-off of the main games
Nah, Alex sorta sucks.
Lol u trolling

That does not address how the core story/plot from Alpha has carried over to 4 and 5.
In Alpha 2 , Charlie was betrayed by his own men and fell off a waterfall.
This was Referenced in SF 4 and going to be a part of SF 5
Ryu,Ken,Akuma,Goukens the CORE "Satsui no hado" story was made in Alpha. Which follows unto SF 4 ,5.
Cammy losing her brainwashing? Explained in Alpha.
Almost 70% of SF story was in Alpha , dont you think thats waay too much for a spinoff?
This is not a spiritual prequel or anything that takes place in a far off timeline , it is very much a mainline prequel. If anything SF 3 is the one that can be considered a spinoff since its story is set like years after SF. And theres hardly anything linking them. Up until now in SF V.
So you don't know what you're talking about. Ok gonna stop replying now.

Excellent counterargument.
Moving along back to the topic, though, I hope that if they announce Urien, they open up with his, "Get ready to die," taunt.
No, like the example I gave of Better Call Saul, it's on track to reveal details for like 50% of the main cast that weren't explained or examined in the main series. A story can be a spin-off/side project an massively influence the main title.

I havent seen Better Call Saul so I cant comment. But the example you gave doesnt even share the same name.
If SF Alpha was called something like just Warriors Dreams or something , then you have a point.
In fact SF 3 was originally going to be called just SF : A new generation.
Better call Saul isn't going to change breaking bad. Alpha story has changed canon in Street Fighter.

Haha how could i forget this point.
Alpha retconned tons of stuff from SF 2. Spinoffs dont do that.

Oh shit, Pyramid Head!?Wait a minute...
I'm not sure why alpha being labeled a spinoff or not matters. Besides a lot of the cannon lore that affects the story today came from the alpha series like Cammy being a clone of Bison vs his girlfriend, Charlie dying at Bison hands, Ryu and the Sadou no Hado, refreshes of SF1 characters like Gen, Cody, Guy, and the existence of Rose and how she connects to Bison psycho power.
Anyway, now that I typed on a smartphone, I'm going to say none of that shit matters. None of the story matters when choosing characters for the roster. This is Capcom we are talking about. You are thinking they are actually trying to limit themselves to so and so number for each sub series vs. This character can come back with a new moveset that really works with what we are trying to do.

R everyone is thinking too hard, enjoy the ride for what it is.

its weird seeing an image you made like 7 years ago pop up somewhere lol
Then use Prometheus to the Alien universe or Angel for the Buffy universe then. They're spin-offs that are important to the canon of the universe.
it won't chance Breaking Bad. In the same way Alpha didn't change SF2. The canon for the Breaking Bad universe is being expanded. It outs certain details in a different context and will inteoduce elements that weren't there in the previous entry but explains a lot for those interested.
So are you saying that Bison made a clone of himself to fuck later on?

Except it did , Alpha most definitely changed SF 2 story. And SF canon. SFs story is basically Alpha,SF 3 and SF 4. 1 and 2 dont have anything remotely coherent. Capcom never really planned anything for 2 anyway.
Alpha was the first title they started trying to make SOME coherent plot. If anything SF 1 and 2 would be considered spinoffs storywise because they barely add anything.
A spinoff is something that exists as its own entity while not affecting the main story. Just like prometheus and Angel.

I'm more interested in Zen and Laura. I love that Alex and Urien are in, but doubt they'll be a character I'll main. *Maybe* Alex because honestly he might actually work a lot better in SFV than he did III. Anyways as of now I don't have a main, so Zen and Laura are my last hopes.
edit: It just hit me, is Alex anyhow connected to Guile through Tom? They both have a "flash" move, that sorta has the same graphical effect. Tom was also former military.
It has changed it, though.
God, please no. Guile has enough supporting characters in his dumb soap opera
Guile Fighter V.
You don't need a delusional theory man. There is a leak from a source that has proven itself as accurate which says Alex and Urien are coming.
It's going to happen, then we're going to have Remy next.
We got it all wrong
The first column are for characters that aren't blonde. Second and fourth columns are blonde.
The blue is for blond alpha fighters, while the new are not blond.
I think you're onto something here
Those two spots are reserved for Zangief and Dhalsim. Urien can show up as DLC, but Alex has to go.

In all seriousness they probably designed all the newcomers not blonde just to compensate for the rest of the cast.
Not with a reliable leak explicitly saying Alex & Urien are coming (& the two being the first to be leaked). If they were DLC, Siliconera would have said so.
Not if they dont know they're coming later.
The delusional theory that a leaker that was right about one thing is right about another thing?
?_?

This is why I hate different regional naming schemes.
SF Alpha is SF 0. It's a mainline numbered SF game, not a spinoff.

Agreed. I can understand revealing Karin at TGS regardless, but I'm pretty sure that they would have saved Rainbow Mika for near the end if we had Zangief & Dhalsim in the base roster (& had either of those two in Mika's place at PAX).
And Kingdom Hearts BBS has 90% of the series plot and is effectively KH0. SE still doesn't treat it like a numbered title.
