Street Fighter V Outrage

Street Fighter V Outrage is the upcoming sequel of the Street Fighter series for PS4, PS Vita, PC and XBOX 540. Unlike the road that Street Fighter IV took, Street Fighter V Outrage returns to the traditional 2D route that the series originally followed before Yoshinori Ono took over as producer. The game is developed using the Unreal Engine 3, the animation is similar to what was seen on Street Fighter III games and the background stages are done similar to Marvel Vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes. Storywise, Street Fighter V Outrage takes place some time after the events that occurred in Street Fighter III: Third Strike, SFV Outrage will feature 33 returning fighters as well as and 11 new characters who'll make their mark debut in the arena.

Prologue
There was an ancient warrior, that was said to have been the most powerful fighter of all, any who dared to challenge this fighter were met with a swift and brutal end, mighty heroes and scheming villains from all over the world sought to defeat the demon, as he began to be known as, but to no avail. But one day, a lone warrior named 'The Shield of Humanity' challenged the demon, the demon merely scoffed at the opponent like nothing, believing this challenger to be weak like all who fell before him. Fist traded with fist, blow traded with blow, neither warrior giving up, but eventually, in a last act of desperation, 'The Shield of Humanity' defeated the demon yet he could not kill it for the warrior had 'transcended' from humanity, instead, the warrior with the help of many priests and shamans sealed the demon in a chamber.

Bison is Dead, these words which should've brought peace and relief was filled with confusion and chaos, M.Bison, the most notorious, diabolical mastermind behind the criminal organization known as 'Shadoloo' was killed during the midst of a battle, the only witness to his end was a female Korean fighter with a lust for carnage. Disorder is slowly rising as factions begin to form and battle one another for power, then suddenly in the midst of it all, one of these factions, S.E.A.R.C.H., announces a new World Warrior Tournament, calling for all the martial artists in the world, 40 of the best fighters in the world respond to the call, determined to seek out either glory, revenge, prestige or other ideals.

And throughout the outrage of it all, he watches, and waits for his time to strike.

The biggest change is the movelist system, each fighter has a numerous set of special moves, but they all have 3 unique attack types, The basic Super Move, an ultra move known as the 'Outrage Drive' and one ultimate move known as the Killing Strike which will deal the most damage and is a certain final blow in most circumstances. For example: Ryu's Super Move is the Shinkuu Hadouken, his Outrage Drive is the Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku and finally his Killing Strike is the Shin Shoryuken.
