Yeah bro, its 2024 already

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Just like Akuma, Bison gets something like this too

 

[Tonygameman]

Guess CVS profiles may be possible (ignore a placeholder date; context's that Capcom Fighting Collection 2 also gets a comic based on its continuity like Marvel's did).

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Dont think these were posted afair, mainly Akuma one

Thats all characters quotes against Sirn Akuma and Bison, many say they are comparable to the original yet also point its not 100% flawless for either

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Just like Shin Akuma, Shin Bison is unlocked with a taunt via specific conditions

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Surprised nobody posted here

"Feast your eyes"

"Heeey...what are you looking at? Up here"

"Mai from Fatal Fury promises to warm you up when she bounces in to #StreetFighter6 on February 5. Don't keep her waiting or she'll use her ninja trickery on you"

Capcom out here going in deep with this

 

[SamanPatou]

She really looks amazing and the animations are super fluid, memes aside, it's really a spectable to watch.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

 

[Tonygameman]

 

[SamanPatou]

Lmao, so Captain Commando would take place not too long after, then Strider is again in the same continuity, how fun.
The original CapCom was also set in 2026.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

They also said Gen is active, does it mean Akuma killing him in SF5 is retconned or he managed somehow to survive

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Also of these two verses share a universe with street fighter, does it affect either in scaling in any sort of regard?

 

[SamanPatou]

Not that I could think of, but I also simply believe these to be neat nods, rather than full-blown lore merging.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

What a taunt

 

[SamanPatou]

Absolutely amazing, I love when they put this much care even in virtually useless things like these.
Speaking of which, I wonder if they'll make Shin versions of Terry and May triggerable through taunts like they did for Akuma and Bison.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Do they even have anything like a Shin version? Akuma and Bison have them cuz they were boss characters

 

[SamanPatou]

Nothing forbids them from making it up anyway, since they seem inclined to keep going with the raid bosses. SiRn versions of Terry and Mai can have the various additional crazy bullshit they get in some KoF games, so it's not even like they don't have a pool from which to draw.

 

[Tonygameman]

How funny on such thought, Terry got nearly every special move already on his moveset. (minus supers on your point, of course)

 

[BlackDarkness679]

I feel like thats also up to SNK if they wanna let Capcom do raid boss events with their characters

 

[SamanPatou]

Speaking of which, I have to make a CRT to add Shin Bison to his 9-A key since, like Akuma, even his playable version can enter such a state through cumbersome maneuvers.

 

[CrackerVolley]

Yeah, the only exception I can think of is that weird sliding kick launcher he has in '98 UM and I think Real Bout 2(???).

 

[Tonygameman]

Fire Kick did appear as one of the target combos.

And on raid bosses, if they feel like it without a new character, Violent Ken (not necessarily as a separate DLC). For lore, there's more than what we just brought up.

Isnt Shin Bison in other games outside SF6? Why specifically his current self gets it

 

[SamanPatou]

I'm using Shin impropriately just because it fits, I wouldn't be using the word in the actual profile. Iirc Shin Bison as an entity/trasnformation ir just in the EX series and in canon he appears in Alpha but simply with a drugged up AI, higher teleportation spam and a bigger, fatter, chunkier **** off Psaycho Crasha!, not even as a transformation (unlike Shin Akuma) so he isn't really relevant.
in SF6 he doesn't become Shin, but gets SiRN Bison's moves by doing a taunt while the opponent has a psycho mine implanted into them.

"Kage is supposed to have disappeared in his story in SFV; Kage can no longer exist because Ryu overcame “Satsui no Hado”. But the funny thing is you never know what will happen." (credit to hazard_ks)

So they suggest Ryu will deal with Evil Ryu/Kage again despite all SF5 did was tell how he moved forward from the power in the lore, aka pull a Bison

Necalli can exist in any time period due to being the living Satsui no Hado, SF5 had a lot of it hence his appearance.

When was he a living dark hado, do i misremember stuff?

SF5's story implied that Kage is the manifestation of the Satsui no Hado itself, not just Ryu's, since he appeared to Sagat and Akuma as well. If Nakayama's idea of Kage is the same of whoever wrote Kage's story in SFV, then he may be referring to the fact that Kage may indirectly haunt him through other users of the SnH.

Never, tbh, this is completely new stuff. He is attracted by the SnH, just like he was attracted by Psycho Power and Yoga, i.e. powerful energy sources, but only because he is meant to prevent doomsday. Anyway, this bit may give him Resurrection and Immortality 4 and 8.

Thing is, Akuma clearly didnt choose his way and banished Kage, Sagat atm is missing from the game till he could be a DLC possibly in the future which excludes him from them unless they go about some randoms being the cause if his return

Even if he was to return from others, Ryu has no reason to be affected by this, its pointed clearly Kage cant exist if Ryu will do the way he does like in the character story, he isnt worried by this point anymore, going back to Ryu struggling again just makes the issue comic book characters have, gotta fulfill a status quo, cant remain changed

Him being a living SnH just makes it somewhat similar to Kage in some aspects now
