We're prolly not getting anymore Final Fight characters cause no one seems to like Lucia. Hopefully we get someone from Slam Masters someday, though.

SFV takes place before SF3? That can't be right.

He's right. Gill is still setting things up for the events of SFIII in V's story.

SF4 should have taken place after SF3. There was literally no reason not to. They even added characters that should have been in their preteens. SF1-3 were centered around the World Warrior Martial Arts tournament, but due to this hiccup now SF4-5 are just random fighting get togethers.

IV and especially V technically should of been after III story wise, but it seems Capcom is afraid of advancing the Street Fighter storyline past III for some reason. The original concept for Bearded / "Hot" Ryu costume in V was that he went complete hermit and isolated himself in a mountainous region for years and decided to return sometime later. His hair and beard were even longer and were actually unkempt in this concept. Capcom left it on the development floor though. Anyway, the Street Fighter game story timeline is....

SFI
SF 0(Zero)/Alpha trilogy
SFII
SFIV
SFV
SFIII

I think they got so burned by replacing the roster in Three that they are now trying to avoid pushing the timeline past the point where existing characters would be too old to fight.

Technically Oro hasn't been in a SF game since SFIIITS and that was 20 years ago. Akira has never been in a SF game ever considering she originated in a high school SF spinoff series called Rival Schools, and it's sequel Project Justice.

Wasn't SF1 retconned or something to full derp mode where Sagat beats Ryu but then Ryu uses the Satsui no Derp to cause a full derp cascade through the rest of street Fighter time?

It was retconned that Ryu was taken over by dark energy when he did that uppercut to Sagat as opposed to just being a sore loser. I don't know that it had any effect on the timeline, though.

You mean the uppercut that gave him a big slash mark across his chest?

Wtf is Capcom's fighting game division doing?

Nobody likes 5. They haven't done shit in months. And then they tell us hey here's some characters we've done 0 work on so far. Wait until fall of next year for some of them.

Like do they have 7 people working on the whole game?

Coward move. Trying to follow the money at the expense of art/story. The game will always sell especially if the devs put more love into it. SF has a lot of passionate fans. Been having a hard time supporting Capcom since 2008.

Real talk, this may be a byproduct of coronavirus. Japan in particular has been having an extremely difficult time with managing a distributed workforce because of how much they culturally prioritized being in the office. A lot of companies have had to announce delays specifically because progress is much lower than anticipated. I wouldn't be shocked if this was legitimately a late-stage decision to extend the game by another season because it was going to create too much of a gap between this and the next street fighter.I wouldn't be shocked if Tekken is getting another season for the same reason.

Daily reminder that canon-wise, this game takes place before SF3.
Which means that Ken and Akuma, after the big changes made to their looks and style, decide to go back to how they were by the time of SF3's events.

Probably because they're afraid of another backlash, where SF3 originally launched with an entirely new cast, which everyone hated. A Street Fighter set after SF3 would likely have a different cast than the familiar group as well.

I only know of him because he was in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

Street Fighter 4 was BORN because Capcom discovered that people wanted the same boring characters, and hated new ones.

That's fine but the only people playing this game after this long are hardcore fans. Add some characters that haven't been in a game in a while not Dan.

No, SF4 was born because 2d fighting games were ripe for a come back. People attribute SF3 cast with the downfall of 2d fighting games, but that's just not true. 3D gameplay and design were trending hard back then. Street Fighter was old news. This is the same reason 2D beat Em Ups and other "dated tech" games became less popular during that time.
