Really...So whats the deal with Shin Bison costume then?
part 2 of story mode......nah
I felt the same.
Juri going from Brazil to London on a bike almost killed me.
Also, Cammy letting Chun-Li fight early in the story after she was owned by Bison and was clearly weak? Chun lost the piece and Cammy did NOTHING to stop it.

What got me most disappointed was Chun-Li's role. She was so useless.

Yep... looking forward to the next cinematic story they release. I doubt this is the last for SFV. I can imagine they have an extended stories for SFV's 2nd season pass.

Just finished it. Didn't really care for it because it didn't seem like much really happened. Like, the prolouges set up everyone for the start of this thing but the main plot was Shadaloo moons, start them, stop them, start them, stop them, kill Bison done. It was nice that Rashid got the screen time he deserves but Nicalli was suuuuuuch a waste.

Dan
What a complete jobber in every aspect of the word.
He gets his ass beat by Balrog in his character story, so add him to the list.

She punched through that steel door like it's nothing lol
I legitimately busted out laughing when she said something to the effect of "I THINK WE FINALLY LOST THEM."

Necalli's screwed.
Somebody should take the picture of Tuxedo mask saying his job is done and edit in Necalli's face.
After flying through a subway station's window, on a bike, somehow, for no reason.

Just finish, if they trying to compete with MK story mode they have a LOOOOOONG fucking ways to go, that story mode was bad, boring, and just felt like they weren't even trying..
I would say they are good and bad in essentially all the same ways.
The loading in this story mode is way too disruptive. It kills the immersion.

Really, I thought it was considerably better. Especially since it actually featured most of the characters better. Whereas MK mostly focused on the new less interesting characters and you were left wondering just what everyone else was up to.

MK9 has the best story mode. it flows in and out of fights without load screens if you played it on one sitting, other than the initial load you will never see another load screen again.....SF5 can't compete with a game made in 2011..

He he. Did they just poke fun at their own network issues in Act 1?

Just completed the story. Better than I expected actually. Nice to see Abel in there. Gill at the end has me interested. The hell was the point of Necalli though?
We all know Dan is top tier.

My personal favourite has to be Gill and Kolin at the end.

If you can't do his charge moves, use his target combos, though be aware that any of them that end in backfist will whiff on crouchers. His crossup normal is j.lk, and the AI has a hard time blocking those, and if they do, just jab their block until they are pushed far enough to do it again.

This shit made zero sense and wasn't even good camp like the animated movie.
Dolls in fights with gimmick moves, Gief, and Rashid being a good role model were the good takeaways. The rest is basically Homer's talking pie movie.
+1 for effort but hire a creative writer, damn. Despite this, holding out for an S2. They can and should do better.
And maybe they already won cause we're all playing it, haha. Shouldn't (and hope it doesn't) prevent them from trying new things.

My favorite cutscenes are all Zangief. Him storing the key in his chest hair was dope.

And they got a double agent in Abel, lol. Makes you wonder about their vetting and hiring practices.

I finally managed to do it by just cheesing out flash kicks by using the keyboard lol. At least with a keyboard I could pull off his moves but can't on my fightpad, PS4 pad or my stick. I just can not do charge motions at all.
I probably should have tried his target combos or really just playing more carefully but being unable to pull off his specials just fucks with my head.
Story was shit but that was pretty awesome i gotta admit
And no words were needed
If he had stepped in to absorb Bison at the last moment (like after Ryu's hadouken), that would arguably have lead to a far more thrilling 'encore' for final battles.
And in fact, that's kind of what I hoped. I didn't believe that was it for Necalli. But it was!
Given he even manages to appear as the first villain, in Charlie's mind, that is a real big setup for what a malevolent threat he is. What a bummer.
Edit: And given the CGi trailer, I still wonder if they changed the story late into production. Necalli's role just seems weirdly cut off.

SFV storymode in a nutshell:

That song is pretty good. Also gives Kolin a backstory. Makes sense. Which means I guess it's true that SFV is before SFIII
I admit, Zangief was brilliant!
Made even funnier by the fact he has those shin pads on.
Was quite bad in my opinion.
Cut scenes were jumbled and all over the place. Why not make one 2 minute cutscene instead of four 30 second cutscenes?
Was hoping for a boss character, heck I would have even taken a permanent V triggered Bison with infinite CA bar! But nothing.
Bad loading times.
Necalli did fuck all.
Gill scene was pretty cool though.

And also a screen of that extreme close up on Helen
when I saw that helen closeup in the game I died
still making me laugh rn

SFV storymode in a nutshell:
Such a waste. He's the most original part of the story and he's nothing to it.
I played through it today, it was pretty good all things considered. But Ryu's powerup thing was horribly executed (should've just had him go super saiyan or something instead of whatever ambiguous butterfly love energy thing he did), the power levels altogether are a mess and some stuff made zero sense (Urien finding that chick on a rooftop, walking up to her only to say "I'll check up on you later" and walk away), there's no explanation for Fang surviving the fall into lava (or anything else he survived), etc.
Highlights for me were Laura's introduction which was very well done I thought, the handling of the dolls, Juri is just the best thing about this game and she isn't even finished yet, the illuminati arc is very interesting and the humor wasn't too forced for the most part.
Looking forward to seeing Viper, Sakura, etc next time around. Hoping that by the time Gill is out in the open we have an arcade mode or the story is split into individual character ladders where they have to face him at the end.

Finished it last night, really loved it. I laughed out loud a few times from joy. And they really put in a lot of effort for what assests they had. I didn't think it would be shit, but I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.
There were a few moments that really made me go YEAH. When Guile's fighting Abel and yells "Charlie"! Pretty much any scene with Zangief. Rashid's little story was great and really made me like him.
