Street Fighter V Cinematic Story Expansion Trailer, will have 2nd art story at launch

SF5 seems like a platform this time rather than a bunch of iterations; so this seems alright. I think this will help to reengage the audience as time moves on. They just need to make sure the content at launch is more than satisfactory.
 
I see this get thrown around a lot but there's absolutely nothing backing it. NG is the only one that's confusing and it's already been retconned. 2I and 3S fit in fine with the rest of the series
I'm not seeing a point in the future where Ryu, Ken, Chun and Akuma are the only SF2 characters in a SF game. I'm sure Oro, Urien, Gill, Alex and other SF3 characters will be used well into the future, though.
Most won't, but some most certainly will
See my post below
Alex, Ibuki, and Urien have been confirmed before E. Honda and Blanka...so this has already happened.
Honda, Blanka, T.Hawk and Dee Jay will forever be at the bottom of the SF2 totem pole. They've been reduced in prominence since... like GAF's inception lol.

Ibuki the best.

Can't fucking wait to see what she's like in 5. I want my stun monster back.

My friend can't wait till Ibuki comes out to he can play as her. Especially Juri.

Especially DJ and Hawk. At least Blanka has a chance, loathe as I'm to admit that.

To be fair, anything outside of SF3s plot wasn't even brought up, so we don't know where Cammy, Guile and the rest are. Just because they weren't in SF3 doesn't mean they're dead or anything. The only clue we got to the other WWs was that Chun Li had something to do with taking down Shadaloo. If we ever go past SF3 in terms of storyline, I'm almost certain that more WWs will turn up. Hopefully SFV's story will explain why those characters weren't around in SF3.

Yeah same way Mika, Birdie, and Nash were absent from SF2, 3, and 4.... SF characters never die- they just become background tier.

I just thought the WWs had no reason to fight anymore.

Don't think everybody needs a reason to not be in more than that. They got old and went home to be family men and women.

ETs on the move at the beginning

When will the Volunteer bring down Shadowloo's Mothership and stop the alien invasion?

As in "Heathcliff"
I found it very interesting if we are going to have Balrog and Guile first then it would make more sense with story mode coming out in June 2016. I would expect Urien to be third DLC character since I'm pretty sure that new story mode is going to based on the arc of Fall of Shadaloo and Rise of Illuminati.
 
I am very surprised. I thought they were quiet cause they didn't have shit. They finally stepped their game up with a real story mode. Plus rollback net code, great graphics add some fun game play modes and mini games and this will be the best sf game so far.
 
Who this is?

That might be part of it, yeah. I haven't heard that reasoning but I mostly just watch those streams when they go up on youtube. But yeah Fang has been selectable they just haven't allowed anyone to play him yet. If that is true though about the win quote spoilers then I don't see him being playable at this weekend's beta either. who knows though could be a surprise.

People have mined the latest beta files and found no FANG related assets or models. I don't think he will be playable. Capcom could remove character dialogue all together for the betas. I just want to see how he plays.
 
Glad we are getting an actual story mode and not just that awful Bengus art that people were somehow ok with being the only story mode in the game...
 
Looks like Guile's character design is basically the same. This may be controversial but he is my least favorite looking character.
 
You know, an easy way to head into the future. Naming the game something other than Street Fighter but still in the same universe. Like, Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

I see it as Guile coming first, then Alex, but I'd really love it if Alex came first.

It literally looks like they photoshopped in SF4 Guile in a taunt stance

You're trippin' if you think that looks like a SFIV model.

He also looks younger then his SFIV version, which bothers me. But I'll just pretend it's Alpha Guile.

I suspect it's an old photo meaning that's an alt and not the default look. Obviously he's not going to change a ton but I doubt he'll look practically identical to SF4.
 
While it looks like the story is going to be taken serious the same cannot be said with the stages.

What the hell is this? Why is there a pink ninja chasing a robot in the background in a comedic fashion?

^^ Karin's stage has the same ninja I think. Watch it be Dan disguised.

I reckon the picture Nash is holding is supposed to be Guile in his Alpha or SF2 years. More than likely, his default look in the game will reflect an older, bearded version of himself.

That art is horrendous. Here I was hoping that it was placeholder when we saw some pieces in the beta but instead there's more of it.

Yeah, that one drawing looks bad. Everything else I've seen looks fine to me.
MKX's story mode was presented nicely but extremely fucking boring and forgettable. Massive waste of time.
Of course everyone wants a good story, but if you have average to terrible looking art you are left with a bad story and bad art. If you have a good presentation but terrible story you'd at least for once in the series see the SF story fleshed out (outside animated series and movies), so it would be worth it. And I can tell you that I don't have the confidence in Capcom to produce a great SF story so I'm glad they are trying a good presentation approach as well, because seeing just bad art with terrible line delivery would make me skip through that shit so fast.

Their fiscal year and Capcom cup schedule don't effect me. That's on their end.

I'm more worried they are rushing the game to hit the fiscal year deadline, and everything is in a release now patch later state.

Not everything. There have been a couple of online betas. So the online warrior aspect should be decent.

Love to see a proper story mode, love to see it uses the game engine instead of the horrible "Bengus" sketches (I wouldn't call them illustrations since don't even have a background) and love to see Guile back.

The story trailer really hyped me. Cant wait!

Btw, Guile looks great in that photo. I love his face, rendered way better than in SFIV. Let's hope he looks like that, at least in a classic costume.

Nah, I can't do that. If it turns out to be a terrible story, then all the graphics in the world couldn't convince me to let that fly.

Just let the Shadaloo-arc die already, I'm ready for some more Illuminati. Still interested to see what direction they will go with this story, it's strange to finally see a Street Fighter game with a half decent story from the looks of it :p

Twist: Guile has cyborg legs. Make it happen Ono-san, don't grace us with the same boring ass design just because some people want their nostalgia fix.

Man, so much hatred for that bengus artwork ... meanwhile I grabbed myself a new wallpaper.

I'm actually curious just how many drawings the guy had to do , The tutorial had about a half dozen images and well, imagine if there's and intro, middle and end cutscene for everyone comprised of even 3 images a piece to tell a short little story. That's 16X9 (or at least a month of full time drawing if each image takes even 1 hour) drawings on the low end , the stuff that's been shared so far looks 100% digital , not sure if bengus did the coloring as well but it's quite a bit of work for one guy. I think they look fine , it's not his best work by a long shot but it still looks good to me.

I'm getting too damned hyped for this game :(

How does this mean Guile has the same default design? You know Ken and Ryu have alpha alts in this game, right?
