We know so little about what Capcom is actually planning that it's hard to say what exactly might happen, but we're expecting more of this story to roll out as Season 5 continues and Oro, Akira, and the unnamed final DLC character join the SF5 roster and add their parts of the story to the mix.įor now we'll keep a keen eye on Zeku, and probably spend some time researching Byron Taylor and that Air Force Base stage to see if we can find any clues there. Street Fighter Alpha 3 Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Street Fighter V Street Fighter. He's noted to especially like wristwatches, and indeed has one on in his Story costume as well a digital one when he's in his Track Suit costume. Zeku has a slightly more subtle connection to the time theme in his character bio on Capcom Fighters Network. Perhaps it's a trick, or perhaps the character has had a brush with time travel that left him with this power? He has the unique ability to instantly transform between a young and old version of himself, but we really have no explanation as to how he's able to do this.

What's more, Capcom designed Zeku with a fairly overt time theme about him.

This leads us to suspect Rose will be going back to around the events of the Alpha games, where we know Strider was present. From zero." This is almost certainly a reference to the Street Fighter Alpha games, which were also called "Street Fighter Zero" in Japan because they actually take place before the events of Street Fighter 2. When Rose speaks about her new mission to go to the past to stop some kind of catastrophic event from happening, she phrases it by saying she has to "start it all over again. The thing is, Capcom didn't really seem to care about the storyline for any Final Fight game beyond the first one and had forgotten what they'd stated for the. The problem with this is that it directly retcons Final Fight 2, which stated that Guy's master was Genryusai. In fact, Strider can be spotted in the background of Ken's Street Fighter Alpha 2 stage: Street Fighter Alpha 2 introduces Zeku, who is revealed to be Guy's master. Indeed, the in-game store commentary for Zeku's Battle Costume (which is almost identical to Hiryu's) describes it as a "prototype uniform for the new ninja corps that Zeku is trying to create." This is all well and good at first thought, but doesn't seem to make a ton of sense once we consider that Strider has been around long before the events of Street Fighter 5. As we explored back in Season 2 when Zeku was first released, he is the founder of the clan Strider eventually becomes a part of. We put Gill and G under the microscope earlier this week, but now turn our attention to Zeku and Strider Hiryu (the latter being the main character from another one of Capcom's intellectual properties). During an interview with Spin Magazine, Nakayama stated, "I mentioned that we’ve included numerous hints, but there are still undiscovered secrets on the following topics: Zeku and Strider Q and G, The United States Air Force and Byron Taylor."
