Did anyone really expecting anything BUT something hilariously cheezy? Of course it's gonna be cheezy af.

never expected anything less. Lookin forward to it. Just like the MKX story pretty much. Do we know how much fight money we get for completing it?
 
It looks really good. Very anime. Can't wait to play it.

It kind of makes me want a "street fighter 2" cinematic story set in the early 90s with the original world warriors and a cheesy anime story. Make them. Look like the early sf2 style. Like how mk story mode did mk1

That would require Capcom to make the remaining SFII vets (E. Honda, Blanka, Sagat, T. Hawk, Dee Jay, Fei Long, & Akuma) playable in the near future. And I don't think fans would take kindly to a SFII-only Wave 2.

It would be worth it for the meltdown.
 
Looks terrible.
And you were expecting, what exactly?

stuff like this is hype for me!
Oh man, I can't wait!

Any idea how long the story mode will be?
 
So basically the Guilty Gear Xrd cinemas instead of the Mortal Kombat ones. Over all it looks ok and at least the game has a story mode now.
 
Damn, FANG's poison is a really terrible way to die, they definitely understated the poison in his gameplay. Story mode can be worth it for moments like that.
 
Remember when people said Dhalsim shouldn't be in the roster because he wouldn't contribute anything to the story?

TBH, I really thought that characters such as Dhalsim & Zangief shouldn't really be in SF V because they have absolutely no reason to appear storywise.

That, & I didn't want this game to be overflooded with SF II characters for the 3rd/4th time in a row after with Super Turbo, Alpha/Zero 3 & the SF IV series.
 
"TBH, I really thought that characters such as Dhalsim & Zangief shouldn't really be in SF V because they have absolutely no reason to appear storywise."

That is an entirely stupid line of thinking if you don't actually know the story. Which you couldn't have unless you work at Capcom.
 
The story mode gives me the "its sooo bad that its good" feeling. Just what I was expecting and wouldn't have it any other way. I am glad to see capcom didn't abandon this game.
 
Sim was the one who freed the dolls and helped destroy the psycho drive. I still think he's mid tier at best storyline wise, but taking a half hearted punch from Ryu is impressive.

I gave Sim a lot of shit but I like what they are doing with him.

This actually looks pretty good.

The best part you will have the chance to play with new chars in this mode.

This is actually pretty fucking great. I wasn't expecting much, but it looks nice and has good pacing.

Sim makes a ton of sense. He can free people from mind controls and there are tons of Dolls and Nash around.

I'm convinced the people saying this looks terrible care either too much about the story of Street Fighter and don't think it's silly as fuck in the first place

Looks good. Just keep the camera off Ken's face

I mean Akuma's 3rd Strike ending is just him dragon punching a submarine

Would be dope if it ended with a shot of the new Akuma with the line "to be continued at Season 2" or something.
 
So weird seeing story mode without sprites, hand drawn animation or cg. Haven't watched the video but from reading the thread and watching the gifs, it's going to be cheesy over the top, love it.

This looks f'n awesome. As a person waiting for single player content, I feel the wait is justified now. Can't wait to play!
 
Is it sub only? Seems kind of cheap of them.

Do you really expect for Capcom to get the same 18 English Voice Actors/Voice Actresses that had previously voiced the characters (The 16 default characters plus Alex & Guile) just to dub story mode for the game? That would be tough.

You can play the prologue stories in Eng. dub.

Everybody seems to be super over powered compared to their actual gameplay.

well everyone except Ryu.

Ryu continues to be losing.

A man with half a face watches as a sheep transforms into a human, who then wants to devour him before he is saved by a butterfly.

All this happens in the first minute.

Sounds like something Paul Scheer would say in the opening of a How Did This Get Made podcast.
