Thankee kindly.
Sakura and Abel feel like the most likely locks.

Beyond that, if I had to guess, a bunch of characters that could reasonably come back:

-Dudley
-Rose
-C. Viper
-Seth

That'd have enough character interactions with existing characters. I'd be kinda interested to see how they'd bring Rose over to SFV. Reflect for a V-Skill, Soul Satellite for V-Trigger?

Re: Juri's fireball

Realized I hadn't tested something and turns out I'm super dumb; storing the different strengths just changes the properties of her kick move, which follow the shape of the fireball listed. Weird that they would remove them entirely.


The one with the uzi would start pulling out these long combos out of nowhere; they put a lot of effort into giving them all personalized moves and we may never see them all of them as playable.

Speaking of which, if you had to make a short list for season 2's DLC characters, who would you predict? Right now I'm thinking:

-Sakura
-Decapre
-Sagat
-Akuma
-Ed (as a new character)
-Abel

NICE!!

Sagat, Sakura, and Abel are probably all lock-ins for season two (assuming there is a season two). Akuma also seems likely.

Coolest part of the story mode is at the end when Balrog and Vega just pack it up and leave because they're out of a job. Gill showing up is super cool. I'd be down for more story DLC to tell the story of 3S. Also fighting Ryu v Ken at the end was really nice.

Also I loved that the new difficulty was unlocked at the end there. I had no idea there was more than just the Brainlessly Easy mode!

Well, there was a noticeable uptick in difficulty when you fight the powered-up dolls and Bison at least.

Story mode is pretty, but it's absolutely dumb. This is the most story I've ever seen in a Street Fighter game and yet it drags on and on to the point you seriously don't know why people are where they are or what are they doing. I guess it does last 3 hours, that's a good thing right?

There's some schlock to be expected in fighting game stories, in fact that's part of the charm (loving, Dead or Alive 2 had Kasumi shocked in one scene after finding out Ein is actually her brother, which then segues into her beating the poo poo out of him, as expected), because you have all these wacky characters with strange backgrounds and only a limited amount of stages, but then it begs the question, why did Capcom put so much effort in all of these cutscenes, story mode only assets and new characters while having a completely bogus script?

It has some cool setpieces but they're put together in a completely stupid manner.

That's like watching the 5th Harry Potter movie and being mad because you don't understand what the hell is going on. Maybe you should go back and play from the original if you care so much.

He's kind of in a weird place story-wise because 3rd Strike is when he's supposed to make his mark on the world (IIRC he wins a world championship) so they can't have him do too much (same thing with his side story).

So naturally it makes perfect sense to send this incredibly important key item to some nobody amateur wrestler who ends up just giving it to the first person who asks for it. And what the hell was the point of the wrestling ring scenes that somehow didn't involve actual fighting? At least let me powerbomb Gief on live tv Capcom, gently caress.

I mean, the confusing part isn't "knowing the lore", it's that it's badly "edited" - a lot of sudden cuts and unnecessary cutscenes. Like, why did they do the ring intro stuff with Alex/Mika/Laura/Gief to just cut suddenly to Karin's mansion? They could've just shown the feed with them and then cut off.

i mean i know its bad but you legit cannot defend a game for having a story that "isnt good unless you played all the other games' when it was released decades apart from them and also all the other games had no story anyway.

Yeah, that poo poo was weird. It's like they wanted to have a fight there but they didn't have a wrestling ring stage finished so they just said gently caress it and left the cut scenes in.

A Climactic Encounter Ending on 1 Negate and a Dream
The best part of the story mode was after every fight someone, most of the time the victor, just gets hit once in a cutscene and then runs away like a huge coward only to return to that location two scenes later. All they had to do was maybe make two locations the villains were at so the plot wasn't "We went to the base and beat all the bad guys, but then Charlie hosed up and the villains activated plan B so we ran away to start the whole thing all over again." The story mode should have just been titled Street Fighter V: The Backdown.

It's a story that has maybe 4 plot points but it's so filled with pointless fluff that it doesn't even really develop those 4 points at all.
