History WMG / StreetFighter

* Except that canon has since shown that R. Mika & Chun can be in the same room at the same time. Not forgetting that [[HartmanHips Chun's main draw]] is quite different from [[MostCommonSuperPower R. Mika's assets]]...

Capcom has proven with Guy and Cody that they're willing to do crossovers at the drop of a hat, and C. Viper's technology is far too similar to that of the Captain than can be considered a coincidence.

This is not just because of this Troper's favor of Sakura. No one seems to notice this girl managed to teach herself how to use moves that Ryu, Ken, and even Akuma seem to have taken years to learn! She had no assistance in this matter! She’s a sixteen year old school girl!!! Well it’s true her personality seems to aim towards being silly and lighthearted her goals and story are not all that silly (she really wants to improve herself). Infact being silly and light hearted may be to her advantage (No Evil Power Dark Side). If Sakura got some real training and such she would most likely be better then both Ryu and Ken. This troper never sees anyone point this fact out!

So here's the breakdown one "Frenchman" with amnesia remebers the Sonic Boom, a move only two people at the time (Charlie, Guile) can do. He also knows that the Commander had died sometime berfore SFIV. Then there's another Frenchman who several years later, uses moves similar to moves those to guys above used and his father disapeared.

Maybe it's played for laughs, but have you ever wondered why, Sean constantly rags on Dan in ''StreetFighter III''? I figure (and this will be his way into ''StreetFighter IV'') That he studied Saikyo with Dan in order to be a tough fighter. He enters the SFIV tournament and gets his butt handed to him (the first of many). Infuriated, he quits and has hated Dan ever since. During the same tournament, he probably meets, or even faces Ken and that's how their relationship starts. Sean would still have his specials moves and the Gadouken, but they're all less powerful if this happens. His super would be a Gadou - Burst, in place of the Hadou - Burst.

Ever since the first World Warriors tournament concluded Adon had lost respect for his former master Sagat after his loss at the hands of Ryu. During the Alpha series he challenged and defeated Sagat for the title of King of Muy Thai (though just barely), afterward leaving to find and attempt to defeat Akuma. Now, Sagat in gameplay is no push over and often considered top tier by even admission of the designers, so in cannon they can be considered more or less equal. Sagat (as of SFIV) has become more noble and seeking to fight to improve himself, due to the influence of Ryu. To me this is becoming an updated rivalry of the whole Gouken/Akuma deal with Gouken=Sagat and Akuma=Adon. Noble Gouken/Sagat fighting to improve themselves and perfect the craft, and the BloodKnight Akuma/Adon seeking out the strongest warriors to ''destroy'' them and/or attain power at any cost. This seems to be backed up by a clip of Adon or Sagat's Rival video, wherein Sagat tells Adon that "The power you seek is twisted." Maybe he is searching for something... forbidden.

Rainbow Mika apeared once, during the Alpha 3 game, and after that shows up no more. Every Chun Li apearance after that, cronologically AND litterally, has Chun Li wear White wrestling boots very similar to those R. Mika. Well, except in Street Fighter 2, which was made before Alpha 3.The real Chun Li must have died at some point between Alpha 3 and 2, with Rainbow Mika substituting her. What's worse, Mika always wore a mask, hiding how she really looks from anyone who could find out the truth.

Specificly, the notion of Norse warrior's heaven, Valhalla. The fighters have died in some different incidents and they are now fighting their way into heaven. It may explain why no one really bothers to use guns or swords, just fighting moves. Characters like M.Bsion, Vega and Ballrog may be in fighter hell as they never have been arrested for world domination schemes. The fighters who don't return are in heaven and the ones who return may be in a purgatory like state or are the equilivient of valkaries, fighting the equilivelent of demons in a fight between good and evil. Guys like Seth and Akuma could be like Nordic Gods of good and evil.

It comes from his [[ADateWithRosiePalms his lust for women]].

When Capcom wanted to fully add in Street Fighter characters they pretty much only focused on the first Final Fight and ignored the games SNES-only sequels. After all in Guy's ending for Street Fighter Alpha 2 Zeku is Guy's master even though according to Final Fight 2 Guy's Master is an elderly man by the name of Genryusai. Why does Guy have ShipTease moments with Rose in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Street Fighter IV even though he is supposedly HappilyMarried to Rena? Simple Rena no longer exists and Capcom assumed that nobody cared about FinalFight 2 so Guy gets to have an occasional tender moment or few with Rose.

Now you might be wondering what about Maki from FinalFight 2? How come she got excluded from the Limbo that Capcom has placed everyone else from the later 2 FinalFight games? Simple at first she was going to share the others' fate but she got a lucky break when Capcom decided to make her into an TheUnexpected addition to Capcom Vs. SNK 2. And since Capcom has already bothered to ever use her again they figured why not [[ThrowTheDogABone throw the fans a bone]] by actually acknowledging her existence in the Street Fighter series. Granted her role in the story is pretty much [[ExcusePlot trying to find Guy and defeat him in battle]] but at least she gets to be the (so far) sole FinalFight character that wasn't in the original game to appear in the StreetFighter series.

In Fei-Long's ending in SFIV, someone throws a knife at Seth's back. Most people assumed this was Ibuki, but in her story of SSFIV, she has little to no involvement with S.I.N. , since she just wants to find a boyfriend. It makes much more sense to me that it would have been Guy (he has Ninja Blades), who is actively opposing S.I.N., or Rolento who may view Shadowloo as a threat to the utopia he is trying to create. Then again it could have been someone else, I just don't think it's Ibuki.

[[WMG: Go Hibiki, Dan's father, took out Sagat's eye with a goryuken]]
Dan heavily implies that his father also practiced the same half-baked, unfinished style of ansatsuken that Dan learned, and Sagat has a weakness for uppercuts, so this is the only logical answer.

My guess is that Gouken was in this romantic relationship with Dan's grandma, and had intense goodbye sex with her before he left with his brother to train under Goutetsu. She, obviously, got pregnant with Go. When Go became older and learned who his father was, he found him and Gouken agreed to train him. One day, Go told Gouken that he was his son. Gouken knew this to be true, but showed no sign of it to Go, and angrily threw him out for daring to suggest that he violated the vow of chastity that Goutetsu made Gouken and Akuma accept before he would train them. Go then refined what little he had learned, and created the saikyo arts, traveling the world as a street fighter (where he one day encountered Sagat and became rivals with him). Years later, Go had a son named Dan (and also possibly a daughter named Ran). When Dan was around 10, Go took out Sagat's eye with a goryuken, and Sagat killed him for it. Dan was instructed upon his death to find master Gouken, and to train under him. He was also instructed to never tell him his last name. Years later, Dan told Gouken that he wanted to get revenge on Sagat for killing his father, Go. Gouken remembered the name and discovered that Dan Hibiki is his grandson. Gouken expelled him, telling him that it was because of his want for revenge, although he could've easily just trained him to think otherwise. Dan then refined his limited skills, combining them with what her remembered seeing of his father's saikyo , and moved to hong kong to open a dojo.

* [[Tropers/X2X I'm]] sure the general consensus is that Oni is (in some way or another) Akuma, but many people seem to be forgetting that Akuma's prayer beads originally belonged to his master Goutetsu; [[WordOfGod officially]], after Akuma killed his master, he lifted Goutetsu's prayer beads off of his corpse and took them as his own. There was apparently nothing about special about the beads when Capcom introduced this plot point ([[AllThereInTheManual in supplemental materials, natch]]), but Capcom ''has'' used the magic of {{Retcon}}s before, so we can't rule this out completely yet.

[[WMG: The Morrigan and Felicia in StreetFighterAlpha 2 are the real ones]]

** Damn, that's pretty brutal. For some reason, Seth's words (in his ending) about how the people who killed Juri's parents (aka Shadaloo) were now dead as well as the Juri vs. Bison rival battle (specifically, Bison saying "You've grown strong.") made me think that Bison was entirely responsible, but this is a much better ([[BreakTheCutie and]] [[TearJerker tragic]]) theory.

[[WMG:In ''Super Street Fighter IV Turbo'' ([[CapcomSequelStagnation or whatever they decide to call it this time around]]), Skullomania (of ''Street Fighter [[AlternateContinuity EX]]'' fame) will make the cut.]]
LoveItOrHateIt, there's one thing that everyone loves about the ''EX'' titles: Skullomania. Perhaps the [[LargeHam campiest]] {{Homage}} to {{Toku}} and SuperSentai heroes everywhere, [[FanNickname Skullo]] [[EnsembleDarkhorse became a hit with virtually EVERYONE]]. Who could hate him? It would seem that of the entire cast of [[OriginalGeneration new characters]], Skullo's status as a walking CrowningMomentOfFunny cemented him as a character that needed to stay. How popular is he? So popular that he actually made the list of characters people wanted to see in ''Super Street Fighter IV''. Capcom themselves know the appeal Skullo can garner; hell, [[AndTheFandomRejoiced we got Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto, Guy, and Cody]] in ''SSFIV''. If Capcom could pull [[NetworkToTheRescue Localization To The Rescue]] and get ''[[CapcomVsWhatever Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'' out of Japan, they ''surely'' can swallow their pride and pay Arika for the rights to Skullo.

Even better, they'll have KyleHebert [[TalkingToHimself pull double duty]] as both Ryu and Skullo, with Skullo [[CastingGag having]] [[{{Dragonball}} The Great Saiyaman]]'s [[LargeHam voice]]. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity WILL ensue]].
** [[DannyVElAcme As a fan of the EX series]], I would very much like this to happen. The series has so many awesome characters that could easily be fit into the canon ''SF'' games. Hokuto, Kairi, Blair, Allen, Skullo, Doctrine Dark, Cracker Jack, '''''DARUN'''''...

Akuma is the pinnacle of human potential and more thanks to the Satsui no Hado. His beads, however, act as a PowerLimiter to keep it in check. Now, If you look at Oni's artwork, you can see glowing orange balls around him. What if those balls were Akuma's prayer beads and they broke off somehow? It would release his sealed power, and he would [[ComesGreatInsanity go mad with power]] and become a true demon.

So, aside from the canon Street Fighter universe that we all know and love, the continuity of the first Street Fighter movie (with Jean Claude Van Damme) and its animated spin-off exists in one parallel universe...the continuity of Street Fighter II V exists in another universe...the extremely wide myriad of FanFiction based on Street Fighter exists in numerous multiple universes all by themselves...and in one universe somewhere, the Street Fighter cast exists as ordinary people with no super-human powers (but they still know how to fight, and a few will still look weird but will otherwise be [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight average in the eyes of that universe's inhabitants]]. Oh, and StreetFighterTheLegendOfChunLi exists [[DisContinuity (if you even want it to, that is)]] [[SoBadItsHorrible in some far-flung universe all by itself, away from the rest.]]

** {{Jossed}} by ''The World Warrior Encyclopedia'', which has separate bios for Joe and Gunloc. Of course, they do that with Mike and Balrog, too, so LyingCreators be here.

* The short blond hair, the Sonic Fist and Rolling Sobat special moves, and most importantly...the kick-ass Air Force BOMBER JACKET he sports in the SF1 intro and his entrance in SNSM. His bio in SNSM stating that he's Guile's brother would also make him Blade from Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game (unless Guile had more than one brother, which would make Gunloc AND Blade his brother''s'').

SF4 lacks parrying. One thing. But it also lacks any SF3 characters. You dig?

* According to [[WordOfGod All About]] SF3: New Generation, Sean's "Dan" comments were added in the US/European version (in the Japanese version, he uses generic phrases in their place). It stands to reason that the same would apply to SF3: Second Impact. As far as canon is concerned, the two may not even be aware of each other's existence.

It comes from his [[ADateWithRosiePalms his lust for women]]. SoYeah.

Hilariously, Sakura was ''right''.
