So, Rose character story just teased an apocaliptic event of some sorts. Rose also talks about how it's too late to stop said event and that the answer lies in the past. Overall, her dialogue heavily implied that she might pull a Raiden move and go in the past to warn her past self of danger. In other words, an MK9 style reboot.

From the looks of it, Capcom will do anything in order to NOT move past SF3 Third Strike in the timeline.

There are people who claim that the Street Fighter series needs a reboot more than MK ever did, because there are so many conflicting details and retcons over the years. I somewhat get where they are coming from, but still, there are other ways to this. If Capcom really wants to fix or clarify certain events of the past then just do a timeline of sorts like the one in StrIVe. There were so many interesting story elements introduced in SFV, are we seriously letting all that go to waste?

So far, it seems most people reject this idea, and I agree. I'm a little tired of prequels and going back to the past. It's time to move foward. To move past Third Strike.

Speaking of Mortal Kombat 9 (2011), I just want to say happy 10th anniversary to that game!

You know how Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown can be played as a minigame in Yakuza 6 and Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon? Well, turns out the version used wasn't the arcade version, but rather the console port for the Xbox 360.
