Anyone know how the story works with this game?
I don't follow street fighter that closely, but what everyone is saying is confusing me.
Apparently the story is after SF3 but before SF4. So then why is everyone older than they were in SF4?

ex. grey hair Bison, bearded Dalshim.

I believe it is after sf4 but before sf3. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. I am not all that versed on the topic either.

Haven't seen anyone take this one, so I'll take it. :P

SF1 -> SF Alpha 2-> SF2 -> SF4 -> SF5 -> SF3 is the official timeline

You're correct. The story order goes...
  1. Street Fighter
  2. Street Fighter Alpha (mostly Alpha 2 is canon, though elements of Alpha 3 are also canon)
  3. Street Fighter II
  4. Street Fighter IV
  5. Street Fighter V
  6. Street Fighter III
 
Anyone know if the PS4 pre-load includes the patch? Or am I going to have to go mad at midnight waiting for the patch to download?
 
So there's a CHANCE, though...

Better start tweeting at Capcom then.

they already mentioned they're trying. from the roster thread:
update from WBacon on Steam-

Couple of small updates - we'll likely have one last server side data wipe sometime later in the afternoon on Feb. 15 PST in preparation for the official launch.

Also, we're checking with Valve to see if we can advance our release times on Steam to match or come close to PSN's release times.

No promise though as it requires a lot of coordination with our server operations, dev, and marketing teams. In addition, we'd essentially be asking Valve to launch and support the game on a national holiday. (Note: Feb. 15th is President's Day here in the U.S. where Valve and Capcom U.S. office is closed)

Again, no promises just yet but I will let everyone know via announcement post should the release times change.

I'll be on point all weekend and through launch, so rest assured I'll be updating the community as soon as we have more info to share.
 
Real talk: cant wait for SFV Excellent Adventures series. Such a good time waster at work
 
Fights amongst who? The hardcore fans are the first to admit the game is barebones for now, its why the pun is so good.

The title is referring to the ability to input multiple commands at once, something which was big in SF4, but largely absent from SFV. It's part of the change in design that's constantly caused arguments in the threads leading up to the game.

The other interpretation is basically trashing the game, I suppose that isn't totally unheard of but treating the game like it's Tony Hawk 5 with the OP title again seems counter productive.
 
Probably maining Nash, but Nash is ugly, so back to Laura avatar it is

The title itself is an option select, poking fun or (rightfully) criticizing

it is brilliant

Man, President's Day ain't even really a holiday. I don't know anyone that isn't working like normal.

I think that's a little overreactive, myself. It's a dart, yeah, but it's not a mean-spirited dart. It's just basic, good-natured smartassery.

People suggesting the title is going to cause the thread to descend into vituperative chaos? I don't get that. There's gonna be fights. There's always fights. Disagreements and differences of opinion are going to cause people to get heated, regardless. The title of the thread isn't going to exacerbate that any. If anything, it might alleviate an argument or two as it sets a tone that suggests it isn't that big a deal so long as the actual act of fighting people in the streets feels good.

It's one of those "I kid because I love" sorta deals, really.
 
God I can't wait for this, but stupid amazon pushing my order back. Can we get the preorder dlc through play? (I didn't wanna preorder digitally but I want dat chun li and cammy costume since I can get the other two fairly easily as codes.)
 
Might main Balrog or Guile this time around.

Nash was my main in the Alpha series and so was Cody.

And if Cody comes back, he'll be my main in SFV ain't no way around it.
 
Ugh don't know if I should get into this game. If I do it I gotta fully commit and buy a stick or what's the point.

What are you guys with both leaning towards, PC or PS4?
 
From the review posted in this thread:

Even Ryu and Ken, who were always seen as clones (only by inexperienced players) are now very different, both in look and gameplay.

Except for SF2, where they were 100% identical other than their heads.

It technically shouldn't matter if things go according to plan. If you plan on playing locally at various locations though, I'd probably just go with the PS4 version so that you can bring your system with you (easier than a PC anyway).

Street Fighter 1 they played identically. SF 2 actually has Ryu take more damage is he's hit during part of his Shoryuken as part of a gameplay mechanic they experimented with and forgot to remove.
 
Quick question about PS4 pre-loading. Is it only possible if you bought the game from PSN? Or can you still do it if you bought it digitally from another retailer?

Where did you see this from? Regardless, it would have to have been during the recovery of the dragon punch anyway since it was the most invincible in SF2 compared to later iterations.
 
I've always found the whole "Some of Alpha 3 is canon, the rest isn't" thing kinda hilarious.

Pretty sure there are some character endings in that game that directly contradict each other.

It isn't like the other games don't get retconned here and there either.

No need to be this sensitive about a play on words imo.

IIRC, Ryu suffers from lowered defense during the recovery of his Shoryuken in SF2:WW but Ken doesn't.

Same here. Mike Ross is a really cool dude.

I've got a used madcatz 360 stick coming in the mail Wednesday, hoping to zombie jesus that it's functional until I decide to upgrade the parts.

Hmm? Shoryukens are invincible in SF2, aren't they (until coming back down)?
 
Guys lets reflect. I feel it was only yesterday sf5 got revealed and we were excited / in shock it looked like a similar style to sf4. Sf5 came a long way. Cant wait for midnight. And can't wait for the rest of the game next month :D
