Maybe new short 1.5 video. this thread is for 1.5 experts :D

Exactly, this part is at the factory.
It's after Sherry says she found a secret entrance.

You must control Sherry and activate the power, so the door can open and Elza and John can reach the other side.
Elza is only there instead of Sherry because curator may be jumping rooms.

If you don't mind me asking, where was this confirmed?

I think the lose of power just affects some areas, not the whole RPD.
The shutters from the west hallway works very well, and past them, the rest of the hallway's lights are off.
Still, in the office B, the lights are on...

So I guess the shutters of the lobby had power.
About how they got down.
For me, when Elza crashed in the RPD lobby, some kind of alarm was activated, making the shutters lock the RPD entrance.

I just noticed that the fan in the lobby is still spinning so maybe it's just the lights that went out? Maybe Capcom didn't pay much attention, or perhaps I'm over analysing it.

That part is on the factory, and it's not even Elza who does it, it's Sherry.

In the part of the game where elza pushes the huge box and climbs on top and switches the power back on , what area's of the RPD did that effect ?

So what do we really know about Elza Walker, her scenario and the game's beginning cutscenes? Here's some things I've learned, if you have anything to contribute please do!

Name: Elza Walker
Age: 19
Height: 169cm
Weight: 52.4kg
Blood Type: 0

Elza starts her scenario in the RPD lobby. If you look closely her motorbike can be seen lying on the ground, glass from the main entrance is smashed and spewed across the floor however the shutters in the RPD lobby are down. So we could make assumptions that in her cutscene Elza crashed her motorbike into the RPD lobby, possibly being chased by someone or being cornered in by zombies, when she loses control and heads straight into the main entrance. When she starts her scenario the shutters are down, so we could also assume that Elza pulled the shutters down her self for safety, however there is no power in the RPD at the beginning of the game so how exactly Elza pulled the shutters down is unknown. What is known however is that both Elza and her motorbike are inside the building and that the shutters don't break untill Leon makes his way into the lobby and the zombies burst through, so something deffinately happened outside to cause her to lose control.

It's left mostly up to your imagination, but to me I think Leon was supposed to be waiting for a helicopter extraction, however as the helicopter was approaching Elza was also approaching the RPD. On the roof Leon witnessed the helicopter crash in front of the building while Elza swerves on her bike to get away from the accident, careering into the entrance. Perhaps the as the helicopter crashed it took down the power lines outside causing power in the RPD to go out, requiring them to find, repair and activate the backup power. This is what leads Leon to say "oh that's just freaking great, now what am I going to do?" because he just missed his ride out of there.

If anyones got any comments or knows any more about how 1.5 starts please feel free to chime in!

On the plus side, after winning the lottery you could throw so much cash at someone they would have to sell it. Or make that Capcom HQ raid idea a reality.

[Darkside05]

I wish there was a way I could help but how do you even find out where these beta collectors get all these rare items is there some sort of gaming black market or something out there ? I would of thought someone might of made a youtube video saying they are willing to pay for 1.5 with a fundraiser so the chances of people who have 1.5 will see it. if a fundraiser ever did happen would it be done on the assembler forums ?
or do we have a better chance at winning the lottery ?

Better chance winning the lottery

Alzaire. The man is insanely dedicated. Plus, he'd sniff a fake out in seconds.

Alright who are we shipping to Japan for the Kung Fu 1.5?

[J0shuaKane]

a guy named Tobe Russell, you may have heard of him, traveled to hong kong on a rumor and found a lost kung-fu film massacre survivor and released it after 2000 pounds were donated to him through a forum. worked out well.
