[[WMG:If ''Street Fighter 6'' gets [[GuestFighter Guest Fighters]], [[WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon Raya]] will be one of them]]
While this particular WMG may seem a little out of place, I have a case to support it. First of all, Capcom has had a heathy partnership with Disney ever since the NES, with games such as ''VideoGame/DuckTales'' being among their accomplishments. In addition, several characters from the ''Street Fighter'' series as a whole made appearances in both ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' and its sequel, ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', so Disney could return the favor by having one of their characters in ''Street Fighter''. And Disney did allow one of their characters to appear as a guest character in a video game before; the aforementioned Wreck-It Ralph appeared as a guest racer in ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed]]'', so there's nothing stopping Raya from appearing in ''Street Fighter 6''. The more cartoony aesthetic of ''Street Fighter'' compared to more realistic fighting game franchises like ''Tekken'' and ''The King of Fighters'' could be right at home for Raya, and her fighting style would also be a new edition to the ''Street Fighter'' universe, with her using a mish-mash of Southeast Asian martial arts, such as arnis and pencak silat. And if people think that Raya would be a very out-there pick, remember that ''VideoGame/Tekken7'' brought in Negan from ''Series/TheWalkingDead''. With all that in mind, I unironically think that if ''Street Fighter 6'' ever brings in third-party characters to the franchise, Raya could and should be one of them.

Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


Yes we all know the story about their ambiguous gender (which is pretty much AllThereInTheManual) but I can picture Capcom trying to play up their potential MsFanservice roles up to eleven. However if this occurred back in the 90's they will most likely be flat out heterosexual. Though nowadays one can't be too sure if they would be purely Hetero or try to go for a bit more {{Fanservice}} namely [[GirlOnGirlIsHot adding in]] more LesYay or perhaps a bit of [[AnythingThatMoves both]].

Hurting Hero is a disambiguation


This has been in my mind for quite a while, so I might as well put this out now. I've noticed that a lot of elements of Stroheim's character design was put into Guile, to the point that Guile gained his '[[AnimeHair tall flat-top]]', his CoolShades, and patriotism. The only differences lie in their abilities (Stroheim is a cyborg while Guile can use ki energy), loyalties (Stroheim is a [[ThoseWackyNazis German Nazi]] while Guile is an [[EagleLand American]].), and personalities (Stroheim is a [[LargeHam hammy]] NobleBigot while Guile is a [[TheStoic stoic]] HurtingHero.)

* For all we know, he could be an actually ''successful'' [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Mr X or Nemesis Model that has gained free will and borken free of Umbrella Corporation's Control.]]

[[WMG: ''Street Fighter'' occupies a "Creator/{{Capcom}} SharedUniverse" with ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'']]

The world of Franchise/StreetFighter is one where even an atheletic schoolgirl or a morbidly obese middle aged hillbilly can, if they are willing to practice long and hard enough, become warriors with martial prowess that better fit in a {{Wuxia}} or Shounen Anime Fighting Series than in a mundane world. Since both stories are made and owned by Creator/{{Capcom}}, this a would comfortably explain the PowerSeepPowerCreep in ''Resident Evil'' that would allow an ''unenhanced'' human like Chris Redfield to go from a terrified boy in 1998 to a behemoth of muscle who can MegatonPunch a ''boulder'' into lava in 2015. Superhuman feats notwithstanding, Chris and Leon have demonstrated that like Kasugano Sakura, ''years'' of endless combat and practice have ''also'' turned ''them'' into warriors whose ''raw skill'' alone are equal to the likes of Ryu, Guile and Sagat, as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw8U3CZKJdU spectacularly demonstrated by the duo tearing through a horde of ''dozens'' of Zombies]] in ''Resident Evil Vendetta.'' Since neither men are explicitly superhuman, the world of ''Resident Evil'' sharing (and therefore having the same rules of spiritual growth for Warriors as) the World of ''Street Fighter'' is the safest explanation for their superhuman progress in the way of combat.

Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


Tolkien's Balrogs are Maia[[note]]angels[[/note]] of Flame that have been corrupted to [[GodOfEvil Morgoth's]] service and are [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority very powerful]]. Now, between {{Boxing|Battler}}, [[AirAidedAcrobatics Arcobatic]] [[AbsurdlySharpClaws Claw Fighting]], and the Psycho Crasher, which of the three is closest to an Unholy fire?

** That's basically the whole point of SupernaturalMartialArts. ''StreetFighter'' is no exception. Every fighter draws their Ki from a source where they can harness their power, like Gouken says to Dhalsim in ''SSFIV'':

* F.A.N.G, Phantom: As shown in a side story to ''V'', F.A.N.G has begun attempts to revive Shadaloo. This would be the obvious route to go for him should he return. And given how he has an apprentice of his own, Phantom's story could begin by detailing her origins in more detail.
* Neo Shadaloo: Ever since the end of ''V'', Ed has been forming his own group to save those who were tortured by Bison. At the end of his character story, he was shown to recruit three members aside from himself--although only Falke was playable out of them. ''6'' onwards could officially bring in the other teased members, advance Ed and Falke's stories, and even bring in even more new memebers of Neo Shadaloo.
