The "top tier" canonically are Oro, Akuma, Gouken, and Gill. Bison and Seth aren't on the same level as those 4. I'm pretty sure Urien is stronger than Seth and Bison.
I feel like G might be on a similar level of power to them as well but that's debatable, he's basically just a giant question mark lore wise but I wouldn't be surprised if he was as strong, if not stronger than people like Akuma.

He’s easily talking about ryu. 20% chance Alex. Go read the ending dialogue when he wins, Ryu he has decided on being his student and successor, Alex he tells to come back in 20 years. Plus ryu has always been on his search for “true strength”. Poster boy does it again. Udon comics may not be canon but they’re licensed by capcom and oro picks ryu there. Not to mention SF3
I can't help but laugh thinking about it, but they're kind of saying "Only the character with the least developed motivation for getting stronger can save us!". Ryu has always been exclusively about getting stronger *and nothing else*, but he's not the only one. I really doubt it's Luke, because in his trailer he expresses that he has something to prove. There is another character, though, that I can think of that only fights to get stronger... but Capcom don't have the balls to make Zangeif be the man that ultimately saves the world.
@@kevingriffith6011 i mean, we really are gonna forget about street fighter 3 all of the sudden? This was already cleared more than a decade ago, this only explain us the why
@@etherealhatred Of course. I was just enjoying some of the speculating, there. Really the only reason the story mode exists is to set up oro's character for SF3, if I'm not mistaken, as he's looking for the person they're talking about here.

My first thought was G, he seeks for everyone to become strong, has been stated to be pure, and Rose said he had a similar power to Bison which is likely will
Whether the "true saviour" is Ryu or Luke (or Alex) depends on whether Capcom thinks the fanbase would accept it being someone who hasn't been the poster child of the franchise since the late 80s.
Or it could be Rashid, since he was a major character in SFV's cinematic story, and, compared to the fanbase's lukewarm reaction to Alex (at first) and Abel, many players viewed him as the highlight of SFV's story. Also, Elena fits Oro's description perfectly, but it's unlikely that she'll be the (canonical) savior, since she has never been a major character in the overall story, and her only technical appearance in SFV was in G's Arcade Ending.
@@ashtar3876 Actually, the hero of SFV's cinematic story was Rashid, since he's the one that ultimately puts an end to Operation C.H.A.I.N.S., and his search for his friend is a major plotline. All that Ryu did was defeat Necalli and M. Bison, and he spent most of the story training off-screen.
That doesn't really make him the hero Ryan, just instrumental to the villains defeat. Also while Rashid was well received, we have seen with juri that simply being liked by the fanbase doesn't guarantee a character will play a central role in the next game they appear in.
I really hope Oro comes back in Street Fighter 6 along with Akira, these two are two damn fun and awesome of characters to be left out, at this point Akira should be a main stay considering her newfound popularity.
Hate to say it, Max, but its obvious from 3rd Strike that Oro made Ryu his pupil. He could also easily be talking about anyone; Ken, Ryu, Alex, Sakura etc. Anyone who are untainted from evil can lead the world into a better future, you just have to find the right one to do the job.
Wasn't Alex just fighting to avenge his foster father? That's not entirely "untained from evil" if you ask me Also, as you said, he already choose Ryu, this isn't bringing anything new but answering why he choose him to begin with
Right, but that's not where the journey ends, he could train Ryu and discover the previous corruption in him, and then realize that Ryu is not quite the one needed for this task. Ryu did have a positive influence on other characters, he gave them "his will" to put it in Oro's terms, so that's cool, though.
Or perhaps you find someone who never was "corrupted". Remember that Oro considers Satsui no Hado a neutral power, and there's someone who can be considered a true master of the Satsui no Hado...
Ok i know I said Akira was vibing but oro was literally chilling talking to his old students still love he's like a century early i would have dated rose

If Luke really is like a "prequel" Captain Commando as has been theorized, then maybe "the future of SF" is more about further expanding the mythos of SF to include even more Capcom properties that weren't already more directly linked to SF, while incorporating more unique fighters and mechanics into the series?

This man made me interested in fighting games. I saw how much an arcade gamepad would cost where I live and a little bit expensive, specially when I already have a normal gamepad that works mighty fine.
I've always seen Street Fighter Five as a prequel to Street Fighter Third Strike. Here we see Ryu and Ken, but Sean isn't fighting in the Hado style yet, and in the story, he's seemingly younger than the other games he's been in. Here we see Kolin working with Urien before she betrays him to work for Gill. We see Gill rise to power in SFV after Bison's been defeated and Shadaloo is no longer the 'main threat'. G reveals himself as someone with 'true strength' searching for strong fighters to challenge his power given to him directly by the planet. Rose has dark premonitions about G and the future of the world, somehow connecting him to the apocalypse. I think Luke is a red herring here, and G is going to be the 'main protagonist' of Street Fighter 6's story. He'll be the 'one pure of heart and mind, who has achieved true strength', and he'll have to sacrifice all that power, the Power of Gaia, to save the world itself. It'll leave him as a husk of what he once was, an abomination. He'll start melting away and his mind will devolve into a sort of madness. He'll become Q, and he'll still be wandering, seeking strong fighters to test his strength, even though it's no longer there. SF1, SF2, SF 4, SF5, SF6, SF3, that's the order of Street Fighter's story.
It isn't something "to see" it is indeed before SF3 literally we haven't gone forward from SF3, SF4 and V are just prequels to SF3 and no, it's most likely that G for some reason ends up being Q they share too many similarities to ignore i Also, we ALREADY KNOW Oro choose Ryu, there is no surprise, this is just an explanation to why things ended up being the way they are
I thought Oro was talking about Ryu, but now that you're mentioning it, Luke does seem to be the one he's talking about. Though Ryu did get rid of the Dark Hadou in SFV, knowing Capcom, it might be Ryu. Since he's the face of Street Fighter.
Ryu can still be the face while another character is the hero of the story. Like in Mortal Kombat, Scorpion is the poster boy but the hero of the story is Liu Kang. Or Streer Fighter 3 where Alex is the one who defeats Gill.
I'd be totally down with having Luke being the presumed hero of the future if they write him in a way that makes sense. A young and untamed soul, but still pure of untainted influences. Heck, they can build off the one line his trailer started with as being inspired by Ryu's performance in previous SF tournaments and if we believe any of it, the basis of how Capt. Commando started.
Luke is seeking power to become as strong/stronger than his dad. I think Akuma would take note if he started getting too powerful and try to corrupt him even though he doesn't use Shotokan. Maybe have Ryu come in and save him?
Like max, Iwas surprise to start fighting against rose at first then the story cutscene begins, 8:09 Max: Homer Simpson's a little delusional in the future. 10:45 Max's respect for oro shows.
It would be cool if for SF6 they mde Ryu more of a Gouken style character. I know they won't since he is THE shoto and has to remain a basic starter character, but they could include old ryu as an alt like Kage?
Psycho power being the equivalent of evil and corruption makes sense. Psycho sounds a lot like the Greek word "Psyche" meaning soul. Darkness is part of us, whether we want to believe that or not. This might be what G is getting at. Why his win quotes can get oddly specific with some characters. We the people have our own struggles to overcome Whether you overcome that darkness or submit to it, depends on the person. I got all philosophical there...
It would be hilarious if the person with a pure soul, seeking strength for its own sake... was actually Akuma. He doesn't fight for money, he doesn't fight for world domination, and neither does he fight for justice or any noble cause. He simply seeks to perfect his strength. In a sense, his soul is very pure. Clearly he is the hero humankind needs to face the upcoming crisis. Oh, and the crisis is probably G becoming a monster due to Bison's lingering influence. Turns out G actually really is the representative of the world, in that he is sort of a manifestation of the collective will of mankind, which gets distorted by Bison's ghost powers corrupting people worldwide or so.
I suspect they might meet in the near future... if only because I also suspect Akuma might be the person who's sufficiently pure of mind and strength...
I reckon it's Dhalsim that saves the world. He's pure of mind and spirit, he's saved people in his community more than once, he is always seeking further enlightenment (his way of getting stronger) and Oro told him to "dispense of pessimism", which is possibly Oro sowing the seeds of ultimate heroism in Dhalsim.
Oro did choose Ryu in 3rd Strike, so being him would be the most obvious of choices, especially if we're taking his Power of Nothingness into account. Although, I do have a theory about that. What if there was more than one person that could obtain this special power? Stronger variations of that were discovered and obtained by the pure ambitions of the younger generations? This is where I feel that characters apart of the younger generation could come into play as the "future of Street Fighter" unfolds when it arrives. They all fight not out of selfishness or with corruption, they fight because they inspired to be the pure-hearted heros that they've idolized. Sakura with Ryu, Sean with Ken, Akira with her brother, Alex with his trainer, and Luke... possibly with Captain Commando. It's all very intriguing to think about but again, it's just a theory. ....A GAME THEORY!
Why do I suddenly want to see Oro vs Master Roshi? Island Vacation duds - Check. Turtle Best Friend - Check. Preference for young, buxom women - check.
i think he was telling him more that even if Bison never comes back, the idea of ambition and malice that he symbolizes never will, doesn't matter how many villains like him are defeated
He'll probably end up possessing Ed, Falke, and likely Able too since the first two were already tormented by Psycho Power and the latter was ALSO a potential vessel for Bison AND had that minor role in A Shadow Falls where he hit a trap where he was temporarily attacked with Psycho Power.
@@xcrackervolleyx or, it could end up using his original backup that he had saved, cammy. since cammy is a incomplete clone of bison who does have some of his psycho powers
Given that we’ve seen Bison’s ghost, it’s entirely probable he _won’t_ ever die. Like, Max made the Sephiroth comparison, but Bison was doing Sephiroth before Sephiroth was Sephiroth. In this instance though, I feel like the point is that even if dead and gone, his actions have been felt throughout the world and have directly instigated new evils to arise, and that is his enduring will and legacy.
A man who fights only for the purpose of getting stronger, not for money, fame or power... could it be... Is Zangeif the legendary hero who is destined to save the world? (Eh, It's probably Ryu)
14:20 Why not have it be Cody? I mean techincally he's one of the strongest character in canon (he punches so hard tornados show up..), and he keeps doing the right thing despite serving jail time.
I am still hung up on Rose's ending though. If Rose is set on starting from zero and Oro must find a person pure of heart and mind... Then maybe the reboot will be about them trying to find said person, and we'll get to see a more cinematic telling of the events of previous Street Fighter games, and we get to see how Oro ends up finally picking Ryu, making SF3 the endgame of the timeline where the end of all doesn't happen.
I knew G is hiding something. His tarot card is the Fool. But he's either a fool or he's fooling everyone. Also I do think the "chosen one", is either Luke, Ryu or Alex.
My theory is that G believes that he can lead humankind to enlightenment similar to Gill. Gill sees G as a threat and does some nonsense to turn G into Q
So desk just showed off a VT2 trick for Oro: some of his special items refill a tiny bit of V-Gauge on hit. If the RNG gives him multiples of these items, Tengu Midare Stone can be unnaturally extended to the point of creating 1000-stun combos.
If they're talking about Luke, then I'm betting my money on that he's the next SF protagonist for SF6. If it's Ryu, then well, we're still stuck in SF purgatory.
Ewww, Max made a reference to new Tetsuya Nomura Sephiroth who is stupidly overcomplicated and was turned into a time ghost instead of an experimental super soldier who simply went crazy. Tetsuya Nomura the god of not being able to leave things alone and ruining them by injecting things that were never there or having a no stone left unturned mentality when it comes to story telling.
@@zerek1726 no not really admittedly. But I won't stoop to your level by insulting you or your intelligence. I'll keep my criticism about the topic I criticized not the person. No need to get personal. Why is it that when someone makes a criticism about something, people who don't like it have to attack the person and not the argument. I like Max and enjoy his content. I didn't call him stupid or anything like that. I just don't like the new direction of the FF7 Remake. Max is allowed to like it obviously and I can criticize what he likes and still respect and like him without insulting him.
What if the Illuminatis also knew, in their prophecy, that Psycho Power will cause an inevitable apocalypse, even after Bison's death ? So that's why Street Fighter 3 happens, because Gill wants to create his own world, filled with harmony.
Everyone says the chosen one is Luke or Akira, Alex, or something standard. Personally I think the rising star will be Ed, he has a will of his own that is pure because he’s still technically a kid. He has a budding faction behind him, all with (probably) a different version of Bisons powers. It should be noted that Ed along with the rest of his team were made to be extra vessels for Bison and are able to handle all of his psycho power, I believe in time Ed will equal if not surpass Bison in strength and the influential “strength” mentioned
That's what I was thinking to! It would be a stupid of them to build him up, that whole encounter with Menat and whatnot, just for him to become the new Bison anyway. In the very least, I hope he becomes a chaotic good, or even a rival to Luke.
It's probably Ryu he's the only one that makes sense out of anyone in SF his movelist since back then hasn't grown that much he feels stagnant while he controls the satsui hado in V that in itself should already be a massive hint. He also doesn't understand his purpose or goal yet he's still wondering purely for strength with no added goal of impressing anyone, avenging anyone, or fighting a specific person, Akuma still yearns to corrupt him and it would develop the Akuma vs Oro where people want to see them duke it out Sage vs Satsui hell they might make Oni canon if they develop that but yeah wishlist if anything. He was the one that Ultimately defeated Bison and throughout SF he's become a significant driving force for nearly every character, he's the poster boy for a reason. Plus I'm hoping he grows more I don't know about anyone but he just feels the same all throughout and he has never fully unleashed himself we get glimpses like his older fight against Sagat but they either went with the old canon where he gives in to the Evil Hado or the new one where Sagat just lets him win. Edit: The only reason I could think of why I think Max would find it weird because Ryu has been in every street fighter game and story but he never had much of a significant growth ( yeah sure controlling the evil hado sure but that took way too long, I appreciate the development though) which a lot of Ryu fans probably agree with he plays an integral part but he doesn't seem to grow, I'd blame the way Capcom handled him throughout those stories, but yeah hope he grows more in character he's been the same since way back, everyone grows hell Sakura, Luke, Alex all the new ones well since SF3 at least have grown and even Oro felt like someone with Growth but Ryu has always had this novice, nomad and Amateur feel to him in every SF and it's getting weird. IV & V at least tried to make him grow but he seems like the side character even when he takes the spot so I understand the frustration. Well that's how I feel about it.
Y'all see the 6 in the stars at the end when oro and sim are talking, hmmm hmmm hmmmmm? (after oro puts his arm down and more sky is seen, 13:25 onwards).
I see....I see....so Oro is a bad mofo with a sense of fashion better than any of us can handle, can kicks ass, gets the ladies and taught Master Oogway everything he knows just by letting him chill in his hand and on his head. Also on top of that, he lets you know after giving you the hands,"You see that ass whupping I just gave you..? That took centuries in the making, get on my level, Sonny." That's a true legend right there.
Definitely Ryu. He's the only one who fights for the sake of bettering himself and push his own limits with no other goal than that. He's purged himself of the Dark Hadou at this point and in Third Strike's ending, Oro is seeking out Ryu to train him to the next level. Look at any extended media, canon or not, and it's always Ryu standing up to the ultimate darkness.
Iunno, I feel G and Bison are separate deals. I more thought this was hinting at the fact that F.A.N.G. still lives, as does Ed and his new crew, and the "one" being referred to is Ryu. It certainly could be Luke, though. I would hope Luke, that's more interesting to me.
@@smallsoul2374 I don't think it's Luke, but only because it's pretty clear that Luke fights because he has something to prove (he says so in his trailer), not really the "getting strong for the sake of strength" purity that Oro is talking about.

Here we see Ryu and Ken, but Sean isn't fighting in the Hado style yet, and in the story, he's seemingly younger than the other games he's been in.
Here we see Kolin working with Urien before she betrays him to work for Gill.
We see Gill rise to power in SFV after Bison's been defeated and Shadaloo is no longer the 'main threat'.
G reveals himself as someone with 'true strength' searching for strong fighters to challenge his power given to him directly by the planet.
Rose has dark premonitions about G and the future of the world, somehow connecting him to the apocalypse.
I think Luke is a red herring here, and G is going to be the 'main protagonist' of Street Fighter 6's story.
He'll be the 'one pure of heart and mind, who has achieved true strength', and he'll have to sacrifice all that power, the Power of Gaia, to save the world itself. It'll leave him as a husk of what he once was, an abomination. He'll start melting away and his mind will devolve into a sort of madness.
He'll become Q, and he'll still be wandering, seeking strong fighters to test his strength, even though it's no longer there.
SF1, SF2, SF 4, SF5, SF6, SF3, that's the order of Street Fighter's story.
It isn't something "to see" it is indeed before SF3 literally we haven't gone forward from SF3, SF4 and V are just prequels to SF3 and no, it's most likely that G for some reason ends up being Q they share too many similarities to ignore i
Also, we ALREADY KNOW Oro choose Ryu, there is no surprise, this is just an explanation to why things ended up being the way they are
You forgot the Alpha trilogy, which is in-between SF1 and SF2
I love the art of Oro and 12:08. He just looks like a friendly grandad.
I thought Oro was talking about Ryu, but now that you're mentioning it, Luke does seem to be the one he's talking about.
Though Ryu did get rid of the Dark Hadou in SFV, knowing Capcom, it might be Ryu. Since he's the face of Street Fighter.
Ryu can still be the face while another character is the hero of the story. Like in Mortal Kombat, Scorpion is the poster boy but the hero of the story is Liu Kang. Or Streer Fighter 3 where Alex is the one who defeats Gill.
@@Carlos-ln8fd I know, but i just don't think they will do that this time.
@@ItsDaniPlays Yeah, you might be right.
Clearly Oro's prophecy
is referring to Blanka.
TBH Blanka is probably the purest soul in the game. He just wants everyone to like him and he wants to stay with his mother.
I'd be totally down with having Luke being the presumed hero of the future if they write him in a way that makes sense.
A young and untamed soul, but still pure of untainted influences. Heck, they can build off the one line his trailer started with as being inspired by Ryu's performance in previous SF tournaments and if we believe any of it, the basis of how Capt. Commando started.
Luke is seeking power to become as strong/stronger than his dad. I think Akuma would take note if he started getting too powerful and try to corrupt him even though he doesn't use Shotokan. Maybe have Ryu come in and save him?
Oro "samba" accents in his theme are both surprising (more refreshing i should say) and very good they done it
Like max, Iwas surprise to start fighting against rose at first then the story cutscene begins, 8:09 Max: Homer Simpson's a little delusional in the future. 10:45 Max's respect for oro shows.
0:35 [after Max does a 4-hit combo] Cheer Notification: *"MASTER COMBO!!"* 😝
I’m betting on Oro’s Prophecy speaking to either Sakura, Luke, Ken, or Alex
Haven't Ken and Sakura been tainted by the Satsui no Hadou?
It would be cool if for SF6 they mde Ryu more of a Gouken style character.
I know they won't since he is THE shoto and has to remain a basic starter character, but they could include old ryu as an alt like Kage?
Well Rose's story mode somewhat implied that SF6 will have some kind of time travel involved, so that would be a great opportunity
Psycho power being the equivalent of evil and corruption makes sense. Psycho sounds a lot like the Greek word "Psyche" meaning soul.
Darkness is part of us, whether we want to believe that or not. This might be what G is getting at. Why his win quotes can get oddly specific with some characters. We the people have our own struggles to overcome Whether you overcome that darkness or submit to it, depends on the person. I got all philosophical there...
I appreciate the reflection.
6:19 it would’ve been funny on the last hit if her shoes would’ve actually flown off
It would be hilarious if the person with a pure soul, seeking strength for its own sake... was actually Akuma. He doesn't fight for money, he doesn't fight for world domination, and neither does he fight for justice or any noble cause. He simply seeks to perfect his strength. In a sense, his soul is very pure. Clearly he is the hero humankind needs to face the upcoming crisis.
Oh, and the crisis is probably G becoming a monster due to Bison's lingering influence. Turns out G actually really is the representative of the world, in that he is sort of a manifestation of the collective will of mankind, which gets distorted by Bison's ghost powers corrupting people worldwide or so.
Honestly I agree, especially when you consider that Oro believes that the Satsui no Hado isn't inherently evil.
Akuma did kill Goutetsu so I don't think he's exactly a pure soul.
Oro is awesome, my new main easily. Actually brought me back to the game after seeing his initial trailer.
they basically turned him into kame from dragon ball, all he needs now is a cold beverage and a nudie mag and he'd be a dead ringer.
Kinda disappointed that Oro didn't meet up with Akuma in this story mode.Would've liked seen both of them fighting at full strength.
I suspect they might meet in the near future... if only because I also suspect Akuma might be the person who's sufficiently pure of mind and strength...
That happens in third strike and they had to stop because they would've both died fighting at full strength
To be honest, I think I'm actually more interested in Street Fighter's story right now than it as a game.
Man, I hope your wish of Luke being pre-Captain Comando is coming true Max lol
I reckon it's Dhalsim that saves the world. He's pure of mind and spirit, he's saved people in his community more than once, he is always seeking further enlightenment (his way of getting stronger) and Oro told him to "dispense of pessimism", which is possibly Oro sowing the seeds of ultimate heroism in Dhalsim.
No offense but have you seen Sim's wife? No a chance in hell the man is 100% pure of mind.
Dhalsim did win the first SF tournament so maybe...
Oro did choose Ryu in 3rd Strike, so being him would be the most obvious of choices, especially if we're taking his Power of Nothingness into account. Although, I do have a theory about that.
What if there was more than one person that could obtain this special power? Stronger variations of that were discovered and obtained by the pure ambitions of the younger generations? This is where I feel that characters apart of the younger generation could come into play as the "future of Street Fighter" unfolds when it arrives. They all fight not out of selfishness or with corruption, they fight because they inspired to be the pure-hearted heros that they've idolized.
Sakura with Ryu, Sean with Ken, Akira with her brother, Alex with his trainer, and Luke... possibly with Captain Commando. It's all very intriguing to think about but again, it's just a theory.
....A GAME THEORY!
Ken is anything but pure. He's a dickhead even in 3rd Strike he mocks Sean before the tournament.
I thought he was talking about Ryu when he said someone who seeks strength just for the sake of it
Either that or Vergil
Foolishness Dante, foolishness
Or Akuma...
Why do I suddenly want to see Oro vs Master Roshi?
Island Vacation duds - Check.
Turtle Best Friend - Check.
Preference for young, buxom women - check.
So basically Oro telling Dhalsim that Bison will never die?
i think he was telling him more that even if Bison never comes back, the idea of ambition and malice that he symbolizes never will, doesn't matter how many villains like him are defeated
He'll probably end up possessing Ed, Falke, and likely Able too since the first two were already tormented by Psycho Power and the latter was ALSO a potential vessel for Bison AND had that minor role in A Shadow Falls where he hit a trap where he was temporarily attacked with Psycho Power.
I think Oro saying evil will never die there will always be evil in the world and someone who isn't will stop it possibly insinuating Luke.
@@xcrackervolleyx or, it could end up using his original backup that he had saved, cammy. since cammy is a incomplete clone of bison who does have some of his psycho powers
Given that we’ve seen Bison’s ghost, it’s entirely probable he _won’t_ ever die. Like, Max made the Sephiroth comparison, but Bison was doing Sephiroth before Sephiroth was Sephiroth. In this instance though, I feel like the point is that even if dead and gone, his actions have been felt throughout the world and have directly instigated new evils to arise, and that is his enduring will and legacy.
A man who fights only for the purpose of getting stronger, not for money, fame or power... could it be... Is Zangeif the legendary hero who is destined to save the world? (Eh, It's probably Ryu)
Why everyone forgets Alex? You know, sf3, him being a genuinely good guy who trains a lot to be stronger and the most fun character to play in SFV
Zangief has broken a sword just by flexing on it, I've never seen Ryu do that
Zangief fights the fame of pro wrestling.
Totally hinting for the return of the greatest street fighter character that ever lived, the one to save the future :
Joe
"POWAH!POWAH!!!"
Oro is one of the most mysterious characters ever in street fighter history in my opinion
3:10 - Is that Sean's fucking basketball!?
Edit at 4:42 - Now we got the Blanka doll! 😂
In the Street Fighter 4 "anime" Ryu was talking about true, non-destructive strength to Seth
Don't worry Max, if you're sick of Ryu being the hero, you can play the Street Fighter 3 series where Alex is the protagonist.
So that's why he took Ryu to train in SF3
Oro: Somebody pure of heart and pure of mind
Sean: Heyyyyy
Oro: Mostly not you
Sean: Awww man 😔
Somebody British!
@@kingsman5121 Bri'issssh
Oro hit everyone with the circle game at 7:39
14:20 Why not have it be Cody? I mean techincally he's one of the strongest character in canon (he punches so hard tornados show up..), and he keeps doing the right thing despite serving jail time.
He keeps doing the right thing, but he is addicted to fighting.
@@KuroNoTenno that’s fair
I'm calling it now, Dan will be the villain of Street Fighter VI and he will have Bisons psycho power.
Dan is tainted by the Dark Hado so maybe...
Oro has so much drip I swear
I am still hung up on Rose's ending though.
If Rose is set on starting from zero and Oro must find a person pure of heart and mind... Then maybe the reboot will be about them trying to find said person, and we'll get to see a more cinematic telling of the events of previous Street Fighter games, and we get to see how Oro ends up finally picking Ryu, making SF3 the endgame of the timeline where the end of all doesn't happen.
I knew G is hiding something. His tarot card is the Fool. But he's either a fool or he's fooling everyone.
Also I do think the "chosen one", is either Luke, Ryu or Alex.
My theory is that G believes that he can lead humankind to enlightenment similar to Gill. Gill sees G as a threat and does some nonsense to turn G into Q
But hasn't Ryu already purged the Dark Hadou from his system? I mean, that's how we got Kage.
14:05 ah, he already said it lol
I actually thought Oro would fight Akuma in the story mode.
Not gonna lie. For a moment there, I thought: "Akuma? From Teken?" All these crossovers are getting me crossed up! 🤣
That would've been too far into the future
That'd a third strike thing, which takes place after SFV.....
@@joecoolmccall I see. Can you tell me why Akuma fought Oro?
@@jacobpainter1962 Oro sensed Akuma's powers through the Pacific, and Akuma was interested too so... they tested each other.
what a message from Oro man,not only applicable to the lore in SF but in our world too,its human nature
I really like his english voice actor
I really like his Japanese voice actor
Man the music as Oro and Dhalsim discuss who could save the world was so good
5:47
Max: What?!
Rose: I slap you! Wake up!
Waaaaiiiit I didn’t know he could use Sean’s basketball when he brings out the rocks, that’s sick
There's always a random piece in there.
I like how max turns into taz in 4:50
So desk just showed off a VT2 trick for Oro: some of his special items refill a tiny bit of V-Gauge on hit. If the RNG gives him multiples of these items, Tengu Midare Stone can be unnaturally extended to the point of creating 1000-stun combos.
Ryu may be the "savior" but it was rashid the turbulent wind that ultimately saved the world👳🏾♂️🌪🌪🌪
If they're talking about Luke, then I'm betting my money on that he's the next SF protagonist for SF6. If it's Ryu, then well, we're still stuck in SF purgatory.
Its Sakura
Ewww, Max made a reference to new Tetsuya Nomura Sephiroth who is stupidly overcomplicated and was turned into a time ghost instead of an experimental super soldier who simply went crazy. Tetsuya Nomura the god of not being able to leave things alone and ruining them by injecting things that were never there or having a no stone left unturned mentality when it comes to story telling.
@@zerek1726 no not really admittedly. But I won't stoop to your level by insulting you or your intelligence. I'll keep my criticism about the topic I criticized not the person. No need to get personal. Why is it that when someone makes a criticism about something, people who don't like it have to attack the person and not the argument. I like Max and enjoy his content. I didn't call him stupid or anything like that. I just don't like the new direction of the FF7 Remake. Max is allowed to like it obviously and I can criticize what he likes and still respect and like him without insulting him.
I find it super funny that Oro's English VA is, of all people, Dave Fennoy aka Lee from the Telltale Walking Dead games.
That’s what I enjoyed about the KOF universe is that the hero of the story is always kind of changing sometimes you know
Bison will never be a memory
What if the Illuminatis also knew, in their prophecy, that Psycho Power will cause an inevitable apocalypse, even after Bison's death ? So that's why Street Fighter 3 happens, because Gill wants to create his own world, filled with harmony.
Yo if they're building up to Like as the new MC and G as the next Boss that'll be fucking sick
Luke*
The fact that Capcom claims that G is supposed to be a villian still blows my mind
@@annieme-tions But you knew what I meant
@@nickhatessnow763 You edited your comment but didn't fix Luke's name. That's why I commented.
Everyone says the chosen one is Luke or Akira, Alex, or something standard. Personally I think the rising star will be Ed, he has a will of his own that is pure because he’s still technically a kid.
He has a budding faction behind him, all with (probably) a different version of Bisons powers.
It should be noted that Ed along with the rest of his team were made to be extra vessels for Bison and are able to handle all of his psycho power, I believe in time Ed will equal if not surpass Bison in strength and the influential “strength” mentioned
That's what I was thinking to! It would be a stupid of them to build him up, that whole encounter with Menat and whatnot, just for him to become the new Bison anyway. In the very least, I hope he becomes a chaotic good, or even a rival to Luke.
Oro: I could probably resolve this whole plotline by myself if I wanted.
Dhalsim: So... will you?
Oro: lol. lmao.
You know a combo is starting to get to max when he start making sounds like oppy from family guy 4:47
This is such a cool looking character
It's probably Ryu he's the only one that makes sense out of anyone in SF his movelist since back then hasn't grown that much he feels stagnant while he controls the satsui hado in V that in itself should already be a massive hint. He also doesn't understand his purpose or goal yet he's still wondering purely for strength with no added goal of impressing anyone, avenging anyone, or fighting a specific person, Akuma still yearns to corrupt him and it would develop the Akuma vs Oro where people want to see them duke it out Sage vs Satsui hell they might make Oni canon if they develop that but yeah wishlist if anything. He was the one that Ultimately defeated Bison and throughout SF he's become a significant driving force for nearly every character, he's the poster boy for a reason. Plus I'm hoping he grows more I don't know about anyone but he just feels the same all throughout and he has never fully unleashed himself we get glimpses like his older fight against Sagat but they either went with the old canon where he gives in to the Evil Hado or the new one where Sagat just lets him win.
Edit: The only reason I could think of why I think Max would find it weird because Ryu has been in every street fighter game and story but he never had much of a significant growth ( yeah sure controlling the evil hado sure but that took way too long, I appreciate the development though) which a lot of Ryu fans probably agree with he plays an integral part but he doesn't seem to grow, I'd blame the way Capcom handled him throughout those stories, but yeah hope he grows more in character he's been the same since way back, everyone grows hell Sakura, Luke, Alex all the new ones well since SF3 at least have grown and even Oro felt like someone with Growth but Ryu has always had this novice, nomad and Amateur feel to him in every SF and it's getting weird. IV & V at least tried to make him grow but he seems like the side character even when he takes the spot so I understand the frustration. Well that's how I feel about it.
huge master roshi vibes
In terms of the timeline, isn't Gill the ultimate big bad of the series? Who canonically defeats Gill and saves the world in SFIII?
my left nut
I thought it was Alex as he is the protagonist but maybe that is just New generation. Not sure about Double Impact and Third Strike off hand.
Yes he is the main bad guy of the SF3 series. I believe Alex defeats Gill and then Alex gets beaten by Ryu
Since we didn't go past SF III, it's hard to say. One of the Udon comics did say that Ryu took him out. Take that for what you will.
@@wisegreenwanderer6815 I hope not. I hope we can finally move forward again and that Luke is indeed the new protagonist after Alex.
Y'all see the 6 in the stars at the end when oro and sim are talking, hmmm hmmm hmmmmm? (after oro puts his arm down and more sky is seen, 13:25 onwards).
Quick tip. If you to the options. You can turn on the quick restart position on. That way you just click a button.
Why is it weird for them to be doing this with the story? They always have been, you just haven't been paying enough attention.
It usually isn't very involved and doesn't progress the storyline.
@@joecoolmccall Incorrect
His theme is pretty chill.
Max the reason its Ryu is because chronologically this game is before Street Fighter 3
I see....I see....so Oro is a bad mofo with a sense of fashion better than any of us can handle, can kicks ass, gets the ladies and taught Master Oogway everything he knows just by letting him chill in his hand and on his head. Also on top of that, he lets you know after giving you the hands,"You see that ass whupping I just gave you..? That took centuries in the making, get on my level, Sonny." That's a true legend right there.
Definitely Ryu. He's the only one who fights for the sake of bettering himself and push his own limits with no other goal than that.
He's purged himself of the Dark Hadou at this point and in Third Strike's ending, Oro is seeking out Ryu to train him to the next level.
Look at any extended media, canon or not, and it's always Ryu standing up to the ultimate darkness.
This is some toptier writing
Such a cliché, it's just like Sephiroth and Dracula from Castlevania, "He's dead but he's will is still corrupting the world."
So Luke will be the one to stop G in Street Fighter VI.
Iunno, I feel G and Bison are separate deals. I more thought this was hinting at the fact that F.A.N.G. still lives, as does Ed and his new crew, and the "one" being referred to is Ryu.
It certainly could be Luke, though. I would hope Luke, that's more interesting to me.
Now that I think about it he'll end g
Well Ryu is the Superman of Street Fighter but I think Ryu taking a backseat on being a hero and Luke suppose to be special.
@@twistedelement7274 yeah sf6 is gonna be the new sf3
@@smallsoul2374 I don't think it's Luke, but only because it's pretty clear that Luke fights because he has something to prove (he says so in his trailer), not really the "getting strong for the sake of strength" purity that Oro is talking about.
I’m pretty sure this was just their way of explaining why Oro was so interested in Ryu in SF3. Did you forget your own Legacy? :p
5:02 the face of a man who’s disappointed…🤣
