** Conversely, Ryu is too much of a [[ChasteHero Chaste]] or CelibateHero to return anyone's affections. Ryu is a LighterAndSofter MixAndMatch of a BloodKnight and SpiritedCompetitor; to him, it's all about training and bettering himself through battle. Thus, he probably wouldn't go after Chun-Li nor would he reciprocate Sakura's [[HeroWorshipper admiration]]-borderline-schoolgirl crush. He's definitely friends with them, but I definitely don't see either of them becoming LoveInterests to Ryu. Plus, shouldn't the fact that Chun-Li is too involved in her life's work to marry herself (and thus adopts by the time of ''3rd Strike'') put a rest to the notion that Ryu and Chun-Li would hook up? Yes it should.

** WordOfGod says that Ryu, Cammy, and Guile all ended up fighting, and beating, Bison consecutively, with Guile being the one who killed him and shut down the Psycho Drive.

Bison beats them while Sagat beats Ryu. Sagat is unhappy about the fight, though, as Ryu wasn't himself, and convinces Ryu to shake off Bison's control. Bison retreats, and is confronted by Chun Li, Guile, and Charlie. During that scuffle, the base starts to collapse/explode, and Charlie gives his life to hold Bison there until it all goes down in flames. Chun Li and Guile escape.

* I know this is not a good question to be asking, but what in the name of Torgo is up with the plot in SFIV? Seriously...what...happens? And I do own the prequel film, which does make things a lot clearer (and shame on Capcom for expecting people playing the game to have watched it!)...compared to not knowing the plot at all.
** The short version: In the absence of M. Bison the head of one of Shadaloo's weapon divisions, called Seth [[spoiler: who is one of Bison's spare bodies]] makes a power grab in the organisation and creates a weapon system called BLECE. For this, and augmenting his Tandem Engine that makes him so powerful, he organises a tournament that will bring suitably strong fighters to him. It works too well: Chun-Li, Guile, Cammy and Abel destroy his facility, Ryu destroys the BLECE project and either Bison or Juri (Seth's right-hand woman) kills Seth, depending on who you ask. For smaller details that don't make sense (the precise events of the ending do take some unpicking), my advice is to search around a little online. Wikipedia is your friend.

I'm not sure, but I think it's the only other time besides Gouken and Goutetsu that Akuma actually sought someone out and killed them.
*** Akuma doesn't give two craps about innocents, actually. His beef with Bison is that Bison's artificially boosting his power with things like the Psycho Drive. He doesn't care about how you use your power, as long as that power was naturally gained - think of him as a one-man version of the Anti-Doping Agency.

* What the heck happened in Ryu's ending in SFA2? Akuma glows pink with the Satsui no Hado and punches the ground, then creates an orange explosion while the narration says the island disappeared but we saw only an orange smoking explosion coming out of the cave and then it skips to Ryu in the water with rubble raining down on them. Did Akuma just blow up the island straight out and Ryu went directly from being in a cave to treading water, or did he cause a volcanic eruption (presumably the island is in Japanese waters, and therefore smack in the middle of the Pacific Ring of Fire) and Ryu ran out of the cave before being engulfed in lava or crushed by falling stone? Was it a normal punch or some sort of all out tech or supercharged punch? Does anyone else in Street Fighter have island shattering/sinking level strength?

His forced retreat at the hands of Chun-Li's fellow villagers was one of those setbacks. He probably does remember it, (at least faintly) but he's not only a liar but a raging egomaniac.

*** Not really as you can tell this part of Street Fighter's JBM is a bit of a TakeThat towards how StreetFighter is fairly accused of StatusQuoIsGod. (Especially for Ryu's "Wandering Traveler" persona though Chun-Li has received accusations of this as well though not as much but its probably due to how the series has played the idea of her remotely wanting a "normal life".) Some want Capcom to delve into this even more if Ryu and Chun-Li are still blatantly just friends because they think it potentially bring an interesting change of pace. But yes they are just friends in the games.

There is no heavy indication of Chun-Li having feelings for Charlie. In fact there is no canon lore in the Alpha games or otherwise suggesting they ever disguised themselves as a married couple during a mission. This information is false.

** Conversely, Ryu is too much of a [[ChasteHero Chaste]] or CelibateHero to return anyone's affections. Ryu is a LighterAndSofter MixAndMatch of a BloodKnight and SpiritedCompetitor; to him, it's all about training and bettering himself through battle. Thus, he probably wouldn't go after Chun-Li nor would he reciprocate Sakura's [[HeroWorshipper admiration]]-borderline-schoolgirl crush. He's definitely friends with them, but I definitely don't see either of them becoming LoveInterests to Ryu. Plus, shouldn't the fact that Chun-Li is too involved in her life's work to marry herself (and thus adopts by the time of ''3rd Strike'') put a rest to the notion that Ryu and Chun-Li would hook up?
*** Not really as you can tell this part of Street Fighter's JBM is a bit of a TakeThat towards how StreetFighter is fairly accused of StatusQuoIsGod. (Especially for Ryu's "Wandering Traveler" persona though Chun-Li has received accusations of this as well though not as much but its probably due to how the series has played the idea of her remotely wanting a "normal life".) Some want Capcom to delve into this even more if Ryu and Chun-Li are still blatantly just friends because they think it potentially bring an interesting change of pace. But yes they are just friends in the games (though the fact that the most popular pairings for her are Ryu, Ken, Guile and Charlie and Ryu is the only one among the four that are not HappilyMarried or dead does help a little.)

* Why is everybody so forgiving of Zangief towards the end of the movie? Yes, we know he was simply too stupid and legitimately thought Bison was a good guy, but the characters have no way to know that for sure since from their perspective his whole redemption consisted of holding up a door. Ignorant as he was, the guy still aided a mad genocidal dictator and would be guilty of many war crimes.

** Several of the characters are likely multilingual. Ken would have had to learn Japanese while under Gouken's tutelage, and he probably taught Ryu to speak English. Chun Li would need to learn other languages to communicate with other Interpol agents. Guile and/or Charlie may have picked up some Japanese if they were stationed in Japan or Okinawa at some point. M. Bison's origins are unknown, but he runs an international crime syndicate, so he might have needed to learn several languages. Blanka's speech is... troubling for any person. When your series is taglined the 'World Warrior', you're likely going to have a few polyglots.

*** Actually, Street Fighter 1 went by release date (1987). Street Fighter Alpha 2 (which removed Alpha 1 from canon) takes place late 1987 - early 1989, so Final Fight (which exists in the SF universe) took place in 1987 like Street Fighter 1. Final Fight 2 took place in the middle of 1988, to explain Guy's absence in Final Fight 2. With that, the Slam Masters/Muscle Bomber subseries took place 1981-1982 going by Haggar running for mayor of Metro City in the Japanese version, which is the canon version, not the American version FYI. Final Fight Streetwise even confirms Final Fight 1 in 1987 with Haggar's election poster in Haggar's gym saying "Vote Haggar for 1982" or something like that. Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3 took place 1989 - early 1990. Proof comes with Cammy being 16 when Delta Red found her (circa 1990), and that she's 19 in SF2, which occurs in 1993. As for Final Fight 3/Rough, it took place 1991, because Japanese sources state Haggar left office in 1992, so 1991 for 3. SF4 took place in 1994, while Super SF4 took place after SF4, SF3 took place 1998-1999.

Why? He specifically says in ''Street Fighter Alpha'' that it is ''not'' his fist that kills when he uses raging demon, but past sins!

*** Probably not. Or at least not a huge number of times. General Bison is a successful and powerful conqueror and warlord by the time of the movie, but he undoubtedly suffered some setbacks on his way to the top. His forced retreat at the hands of Chun-Li's fellow villagers was one of those setbacks. He probably does remember it, (at least faintly) but he's not only a liar but a raging egomaniac. Bison's not going to clearly admit defeat, even a defeat long in the past, if he can instead slyly deny recalling it happening and be a smug bastard all at once.
