silly storyline question....

aoi's vf3 profile says that she used to train with akira when they were kids. wouldn't that be difficult since akira's roughly 11 years older than aoi?

 

martials arts training can begin at like, five years of age.

Now go back to playing the damn game /versus/images/icons/wink.gif

 

Hahahaha
Check the levels in VF4, Akira´s level is inside his dojo while Aoi´s is just outside akira´s dojo and you can see his building from there.

 

Wow, I never new that, wonder why they trained in different styles though, it would be weird to see akira and aoi switch styles...... /versus/images/icons/blush.gif

 

well, she did learn to do her own retarded versions of dashing elbows, palm strikes, a double palm strike, and a knee. She also learned to reverse as well as akira, so this cute little snippet of storyline is a convenient explanation as to why Aoi is the only one who can reverse akira's shoulders, two handed moves, bodychecks, etc.

 

Well, Akira sure had it better than Ryu and Ken. /versus/images/icons/wink.gif

 

eeewww, cradle robbing! just kidding. training must've been a little odd. i'm sure there wasn't much sparring between the two. 20 year old akira whackin around a 9 year old aoi wouldn't be very pretty.

 

Well, perhaps it's more like Akira is 30, and Aoi is 19. Oh wait, they're supposed to be "kids". Uhm, well, uhm, then, may be they were both mentally retarded. There ya go. See how this storyline make all perfect sense. /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

 

Giving this thread a bump. Gotta LOVE fighting game storylines...hahaha

If anyone plays fighting games for their 'storylines', well, then, methinks there are issues somewhere.

Besides, everyone knows that Blanka was lost in the jungle, met up with Jann Lee who happened to be training there, they both had a fight, it happened to be seen by Zack, who then invited both of them to Bison's DOA tournament.

While there, it was discovered that Makoto was really Aoi's sister, and Aoi trained with Akira to get back at her sister for sleeping with her boyfriend.

Follow me so far? Good. Don't want to lose anyone.

Anyways, Akira lied about his age, he really was younger than people thought. He just had a manly voice and facial hair (orra, orra, ORRRAA!!!).
So he and Aoi really WERE kids when they trained....(hey, you, yea YOU. Quit looking behind the curtain and discovering my plot holes).

So there.
Hope that cleared things up a bit.

 

This actually pops up a story idea of Akira in training.

"When he was around 16; his grandfather decides to teach him some humility by inviting over his friend's daughter Aoi for a little sparring match. He starts blindly spamming attacks straight at her and Aoi at only age 6, simply flips him on his back without he even laying a hand on her."

Kinda brings a new meaning to the saying, "You're 10 years to early".

 

"Junen Hainde yo!"

 

Cody is only giving part of the story. He left out the fact that Goh and Steve fox are brothers. Their rivalry is what led to Goh's hate for Brad.

Vanessa was a prison warden for Craig Marduk and her continuous beatings drove him insane.

Between the time of Tekken 2 and 3 the Mishima Zaibatsu was actually under the control of Lau and Pai.(They won it by entering a secret family only tournament, Dan Hibiki and Gou came in 2nd place beating out the bogards, Howards, Meiras, Kims and Sakazakis ) Heihachi had to actually go back in time and fight against others while tracking down soul edge before he was strong enough to win back his place as the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu.

El Blaze and El Fuerte used to be a tag team called "Excessive fire!" They demolished the team of King and Armored king and demanded that they admit they were blatant Tiger Mask rip offs or they would unmask them.

And this is still just scraping the top, the story goes much deeper. But I'm lazy.

 

Seems to me games like Mass Effect and Bioshock have some competition in the story department, eh?

 

Of course. A good story isn't just limited to FPS and RPGs.
