Warriors Fate: Street Fighter story thread, revived

[Ultima]

vas:

Yeah, I noted that spelling to. I was thinking it's probably a typo or a mistranslation. I doubt it's the same Juli we know.

Lone Dragon:

Yeah, I figured I could post it here because, assuming it's true, no one reads this thread anyway. ^_^

At least one other person on SRK PMed me and said he heard about the Arabic grappler obsessed with oil thing though. Plus, on the original board, the guys who "knew about stuff" (including the one who fed me the info about SFIV's final cast since June 2008) said that that info is correct. We'll know for sure in a couple days (I doubt Capcom would announce this the first day of the TGS, but we'll see). It's probably wise not to spread it around too much at this point though. It could all be wrong, or perhaps correct but only some of it revealed (after all, when I got the info for SFIV's conplete cast in June 2008, they didn't confirm the entire cast - sans the planned Hawk and Deejay - until November 2008 or so).

[vasili10]

Vasili is it true you did an interview for the Street Fighter magazine from Strugler? Do you have a link?

Interview? Not as far as I know. What I did for the Street Fighter Magazine was guide along its manga story, proofread the mag, and write the Historian's Corner articles for it. No Q&A session featuring me or anything like that.

Ultima: Yeah I doubt it's her as well, and yet...no, nah for now; actually the rest of her description puts images in my head of the black-gi girl in Makoto's early sketches. And similarly for the grappler, the bare-chested afro figure from Urien's doodles in 2I.

Hakan - arabic grappler obsessed with oil.

I bet he drinks and sweats it.

[Shockdingo]

Oh maaan lol well somethings never change Capcom, I mean really? Obsessed with oil? Oiy. Thanks for posting the info here, I feel like I'm a part of some secret club hehe.

[Kataklysmic]

Like any Ibuki fanboy, I'm more than pleased with the returning cast. Not simply because she's there, but I can finally play her in a REAL SF game for once (thank god). I wish Alex and Rolento could have been there too. Maybe we'll get a few hidden characters, but I doubt it.

All the same though, I'm extremely interested in that Juri chick. Unless her name is really some Asian name that I've never heard before, I'm guessing it's gonna be closer to Julie or something, and not Juli (which is pronounced "Yu-lee").

Hakan should be fun too. He learns that Seth's really George Bush in disguise and enters the tournament for revenge!

[RedStarWolf]

Juri? You mean Juni , because I'm reading that a bit confuzzled.

[Kataklysmic]

I read just what they meant.

Juri - evil asian girl fighter working for Seth.

The new female has the same romanized name as T. Hawk's sweetheart/Juni's in-game partner?

[vasili10]

Here's what the spelling/pronunciation breakdown has been thus far:

Julia (Guile's wife), Juni, Juli: pronounced as "you-lee" for the first two syllables

Julia (SF3 judgment girl), Julia (what T. Hawk calls Juli): pronounced as "ju-lee" for the first two syllables

If the new girl is named "ju-lee", the SF saga will have a balance of 3 and 3, and yes all the "l"'s sound like "r"'s in their names.

[The_Shakunetsu]

hello dudes been reading the thread from page 477 and random names where mentioned?
who are they? where are there name come from?

Hakan - arabic grappler obsessed with oil.
Juri - evil asian girl fighter working for Seth.

i have been a bit confused!

still waiting for SF4DASH news around capcom bbs .

[RedStarWolf]

I hope they don't mean some new person but rather Juli the Shadaloo agent...please don't let it be some new chara...

[Ultima]

Info compiled from another forum on Super Street Fighter IV:

- Guile has Sonic Hurricane
- Everyone has two Ultras at once. No selection. COmmands don't overlap.
- One super, two ultras (Note: WTF???). Except Sakura, who has Shinkuu Hadoken back for 2 and 2. All 3S characters have all three of their supers, except one is super and two are ultra (Note: This seems backwards to me).
- Rufus can cancel-break the last hit of Spectacle Romance, or the launch kick of Space Opera Symphony.
- Guy has his chains (Note: YES)
- Dudley now has ten target combos, up from nine in 3S.
- Cody is the only character with an Alpha Counter. Yes, he has the knife.
- Makoto has her super as Tanden Renki. May be possible to activate with an Ultra charged to commence the rape time.
- Gen gets a new air Ultra. He still doesn't hagve his chains back at this point (Edit: :( )
- Juri's top may bear a vague resemblance to Shiki, with a bit of Hinata hair.
- Expect the return of the many familiar supers, and a few new ones like Metsu Shoryuken (note: Obviously, this guy didn't know that Metsu Shoryuken isn't new). Return of Kikosho, Sonic Hurricane, Denjin(Gouken), Tiger Cannon.
- Expect sick names like Breathless, Yoga Shangri-La, Psycho Punisher and Demon Armageddon.
- Expect a lot of air activated ultras, i.e; Siberian Blizzard, Gief's fucking air 720. Yes, you read that correctly.
- Return of the bonus stage.

[CaliLifeStyle]

OMG!

Is the name Super Street Fighter IV, or will they just go with Street Fighter V?

Also, how are they going to get around the age differences? Ibuki and Makoto should be rather young around SF4. But then again Yun and Yang looked the same age as they did in SF3 in Chun Li's intro.

[Ultima]

Super SFIV. It's not SFV, it's an update to SFIV.

I'm curious if this will be like NG - 2I, which just rehashes the story and adds more of it, or like 2I -> 3S which continues the story. I'm actually betting (hoping) on the latter.

[The Lone Dragon]

).
- Rufus can cancel-break the last hit of Spectacle Romance, or the launch kick of Space Opera Symphony.

Wow. As if this man's moves weren't safe enough. If this is true, then every single one of Rufus' specials will be safe (except maybe Snake Strike, which is often too fast too punish, anyways). I'm scared.

- Cody is the only character with an Alpha Counter. Yes, he has the knife.

I wonder if he's still a criminal. I guess we aren't quite sure when Streetwise takes place, or if Capcom Japan knows the game exists.

- Expect a lot of air activated ultras, i.e; Siberian Blizzard, Gief's fucking air 720. Yes, you read that correctly.

...correction. NOW I'm scared.

I'd like to see how they resolve the age issues with Makoto and Ibuki.

I hope it's the latter too. SF4 left a lot of questions unanswered. Hopefully SSF4 will expand on it.

They could just make them 12 to 14 years old. It would be stupid, but at least it wouldn't be a retcon. Ibuki could be trying to pass an exam to get into ninja high school or something, and Makoto could just be looking to beat people up to make her dad proud or some shit.

As for Rufus, the last hit of his super only comes out when it connects. Actually, I don't understand what they mean by cancel-break: It can't be FADC, because you wouldn't have any super meter left to do that after performing the super. Unless it's a new feature unique to Rufus a la MOTW's break moves, in which case... why?

I don't understand cancel-break either. Might be a misunderstanding.

Unless they mean you can cancel the last hit into something else. Maybe alternate endings to his super and ultra?

[vasili10]

Wow. At 35 faces now, SSF4 tops all SF rosters except for Double Upper barely. So much for keeping it from getting as crazy as Z3, as Ono-san had suggested. Of course he may have meant it for SSF2X2 (SF4) only, but still wow.

My current bet's on it being to 4 as Z3 is to Z2 or 3S is to 2I; this is the largest roster increase the saga's ever seen from foundation game to succeeding game.

[mikros]

localization

In SNK’s case it was obvious that the games were localized in Japan because of the Engrish. It seems that CoJ has better English grammar than SNK, doesn’t it?

Compared to Chun, I bet R. Mika could do some pretty crazy acts of physical strength.

Well, going back to the pic I posted, Mika seems to be physically quite weaker than Chun Li. If anything she might be heavier, but that’s hard to say, as muscle weights a lot.

I don't think this should be surprising. After all, the theme of SF2 was that the best fighters in the world fought in a tournament. The characters were designed accordingly, and all of them were at the top of human physical condition. The bar was lowered a lot after the SF2 series.

You're right it's a big roster increase. They might as well call it SF5.

Is Ono still in charge of SSF4? He did say there would be no Final Fight characters and now it looks like we'll be getting 2.

[The Lone Dragon]

Actually, now that I look at the stats, Chun is a little taller than Mika, and possibly heavier (though we don't know Chun's weight for certain).

Mika looks heavier, though...and muscle mass often correlates to strength...it's hard to tell from sprites if Mika is muscular or not. Chun looks cut, though.

Wow. At 35 faces now, SSF4 tops all SF rosters except for Double Upper barely.

It's the power of polygons.

[CaliLifeStyle]

The new character Juri resembles Shiki and Hinata. Who are Shiki and Hinata anyway?

[True Tatsu]

Gen is likely just picking up his other two SFA supers as ultras, which is good given how often you can use ultras in a round compared to supers. (I really want that switched but...)

I wonder if Akuma's is going to hit the ground like in his win scene (Kongou Kokuretsu Zan?) while his EX get a little more luv

Don't get the wrong idea about me doing this but...

I'm happy for the Cody fans and ima let them finish celebrating, but I hope Capcom Japan ignores the events of streetwise cause SFA Cody is potentially the best version to base SSF4 Cody off of... ...Guy is cool with the new yakuza outfit though.

[Ultima]

Uh oh. Shit is on lockdown down. No more leaks for the time being. :(

CaliLifeStyle:

Shiki is from Samurai Shodown

Hinata is from Rival Schools/Project Justice

[Sagatryu]

R.Mika may not look athletic but she might acutally be stronger then she looks.

about strength training.

Most Strength Trainers train to improve their strength and endurance while not giving special attention to reducing body fat below normal. Strength trainers tend to focus on compound exercises to build basic strength.

Note: Bone strength is associated with muscle strength and belly fatness. a muscle can only be as strong as the bones it's attache to.
