Line 15:
Chew on this: Rose, M.Bison's [[Enemy Without]] [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Superpowered Good Side]], is very female. Cammy, M.Bison's genetically-altered clone whom he plans to put his mind into -- and whom, as a genetically-altered clone, he could have made look however he wished -- is also very female. Clearly, there's more to this guy than he's letting on.
* There's NO WAY a female could have the body M. Bison/Vega has. The guy is ripped to all hell. And besides, art from Street Fighter 2 shows him ''sans'' shirt, and he looks totally male.
** Clearly, M. Bison trained at the [[Ranma
*** Perhaps he always wanted to be a woman, but just can't. The whole [[Nightmare Fuel]] is to imagine him dressed as a woman. [[Fan Disservice|Eww.]]
**** Or maybe he's the opposite?
**** Well, look at Bison being affected by Demitri's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6F5WWgGkKc#t=0m55s Midnight Bliss] and [http://www.capcom-unity.com/jgonzo/blog/2009/10/20/uk_pop_star_dresses_up_likebison the pop star dressed as him].
** Or maybe it's the reverse. Rose embodies everything that was positive about him before he purged it from himself in order to master Psycho Power. Cammy being an opposite-sex clone lends further credence to this - it implies a fascination with being female that he nonetheless forgoes in order to continue to gain power. The "good" part of him was his female side (and his desire to be physically female), which he eradicated for whatever twisted reasons he has. It makes him/her much more three-dimensional.
* Note also that Bison's Japanese name, Vega, is the name of the star that the Japanese refer to as Orihime, a very decidedly feminine name referring to a very definitely female princess from the legend that it gets its name from.
== Ran Hibiki of ''[[
It is established that, in Dan's backstory, he has a mother and a sister. It is also established that Ran Hibiki's brother runs a dojo. Ran's home is adjacent to what seems to be the Saikyo-Ryu dojo that Sakura and Hinata frequent. Sakura's home is just behind the Saikyo-Ryu dojo. Pretty obvious by this point, really.
* Ran's brother runs a dojo? For that matter, Ran had a brother? The only known member of her family mentioned in any ''[[
* The Saikyo-Ryu DOES exist in Rival Schools canon; and Chairperson, from Taiyo High, learned martial arts by a Saikyo-Ryu correspondence course. So there IS the possibility that this is not coincidental. Capcom surely considered that people might try to make the connection between Ran and Dan when they named her character.
* That means that she's the gal who appears in Dan's ending in ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter''? If so, then... Akuma may be their father!!!
Line 47:
== The universe revolves around [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|Charlie]]. ==
It's WMG, no reason necessary.
== Abel is Charlie. ==
Found in the ruins if the Shadaloo base? And his pre-fight dialogue with Guile makes it obvious.
* The winquotes for a Abel vs. Seth match suggest otherwise. When Abel wins:
{{quote|
* And when Seth wins:
{{quote|
* Seems to suggest that Abel's from the same Shadaloo program that created Seth.
** It's still possible. Charlie was captured by Bison/Vega, his memory was wiped, and he had all manner of unethical experimentation done on him; thus he became Abel. He does seem to recognize Guile {{spoiler|when he and Guile are standing outside the ruined Shadowloo base in Chun-Li's ending.}}
Line 60:
* According to the Udon comics, Charlie saved Abel from the Shadaloo lab where he was created.
* Something to keep in mind is that, during their fight, Abel repeatedly implies that he's protecting a third party who Guile's fighting style reminds him of.
* Debunked by [https://web.archive.org/web/20110824095846/http://www.capcom-fc.com/sf4/thumbnail/SF4.pdf a character relationship chart] posted by SFIV's project manager (so this is [[Word of God]]) to explain the game's story. [http://www.eventhubs.com/images/2009/sep/01/street-fighter-4-plot-chart-diagram/ The translation] of the chart indicates that Charlie did save Abel from the Shadaloo base as shown in the Udon comic, which likely explains why Abel is familiar with the Sonic Boom.
** And Guile's win quote to Abel in Super SFIV further lends credibility to the "Charlie saved Abel" theory:
{{quote|
== The next game will feature a [[Face Heel Turn|Face Heel Turned]] Ryu as its final boss. ==
Bison's ultimate goal seems to be to awaken Ryu's evil potential. Akuma, too, for that matter... They're the most common "main villains" in the Street Fighter universe, and so it's only a matter of time before they accomplish their goal... only to have it destroyed by [[Spanner in
* Wasn't Evil Ryu a [[Face Heel Turn|Face Heel Turned]] Ryu already?

== Hugo is trying to get Alex to go into [[Professional Wrestling]] with him and Poison. ==
We already know that Hugo and Poison are going "pro" (Poison managing Hugo), and it's hardly a stretch to think that one of them reasoned that a ready-made tagteam/rivalry would greatly enhance their chances of success - their little [[
== Seth is a clone/experiment based off of Dhalsim. ==
Line 103:
* SFIV is a prequel to SFIII, and a younger Yun and Yang appear in one of Chun-Li's videos in SFIV. Also, game mechanics usually change between iterations: Many things from Alpha weren't included in SF III for instance. Lastly, I think they wanted a 'throwback' to the more familiar [[SF 2]] characters.
** Well, don't forget that Yun appeared in a console version of Alpha 3. Also, we have to wait until the confirmation of the other 5 characters of SSFIV to see if Capcom "hates" SFIII. Maybe there will be one or two surprises. Plus, don't forget that Alex appears in [[Capcom vs. Whatever|Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]], the most recent game in the Vs. series.
*** Maybe it'll end [[Jossed]]. There's a [http://bi.gazeta.pl/im/3/7086/z7086483X.jpg leaked screen]{{Dead link}} showing Dudley.
**** That's photoshopped. On the other hand, the December 2009 issue of Famitsu has a legit screen of Guy focus-absorbing a kunai, a weapon Ibuki usually uses.
**** ^-- Leaving this here for [[LO Ls]] -- the leaked screen was 100% accurate.
Line 111:
== Cammy is a butch lesbian. ==
Though to some this would be a case of her living in the [[Transparent Closet]] (just look at her!). As of now, it is unsure whether she'd go for Chun-Li or Sakura.
** Okay did [[Moviebob]] write this one? Anyways Cammy's face and hair (and her [[Ms. Fanservice]] role namely about her body) are the reasons why anyone might deny the "Butch" part. But to be fair the [[Street Fighter]] series is not entirely devoid of [[Les Yay]] as Juli and Juni's ending in Street Fighter Alpha 3 is a slight example of that.
** I'm fairly certain that: A - She's not Butch, & B - Her being homosexual (or at least bisexual) is canon. After all, she ''is'' a clone of Bison. She was designed to be a replacement body for him in case of an emergency. So, chances are good that he'd arrange for his replacement body to react (in the attracted sense) to pretty much the same people as his original body.
Line 122:
== If Capcom gives Poison and Roxy (or at least Poison) a comeback they will try to play up their sexuality. ==
Yes we all know the story about their ambiguous gender (which is pretty much [[All There in the Manual]]) but I can picture Capcom trying to play up their potential [[Ms. Fanservice]] 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 [[Fetish Fuel]] namely [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|adding in]] more [[Les Yay]] or [[Bi the Way|perhaps]] a bit of [[Anything That Moves|both]].
== Hugo is a clone or lost sibling of Poison ==
Just [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6F5WWgGkKc#t=1m40s look] at the result of [[Darkstalkers
* Except this makes little sense, since they both started as [[Gang-Bangers|Mad Gears gang members]] in Final Fight.
== Juri kills every character that doesn't make an appearance or cameo in the Street Fighter 3 games ==
It seems only Chun-Li survives her fight with Juri. Ryu, Ken, and Akuma may or may not fight her at all.
* Don't Cammy and Sari (Dhalsim's wife) make a cameo in the Judgment decision in ''3rd Strike''. There's also the case of Cody, Guy, Hugo/Andore (yes, they're the same person; [[Word of God]] has confirmed this), and Cammy appearing in ''[[Final Fight]] Streetwise'' (which would appear to occur much later in the overall timeline that any of the other entries in this [[Shared Universe]] barring ''[[Captain Commando]]''; Sodom and Poison [[What Could Have Been|were also planned to be in the game, with concept art of the two existing]]), but that seems to be [[Canon
== Ingrid is the wife of Hakan ==
Just look at [http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/File:Hakan_art.jpg this picture] Specifically the background.
** Well now, this one honestly sounds rather unlikely for a ''plethora'' of reasons.
*** [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=774151 Hakan's wife] seems to have darker skin and rather large breasts. Plus, Ingrid's non-canon in [[S Fverse]].
Line 144:
== Remy's father and the merc that saved Abel is one and the same and knew Charlie. ==
Lets look at this step by step, getting past Abel's true beginning ( {{spoiler|as a body for Bison and Seth genetically engineered precursor}}), he was found by a Commander of a bunch of mercs. He doesn't remember much except that the merc who saved him died and that he's seen the Sonic Boom before. Due to his true origin, Abel may or may not really be French ({{spoiler|like how Cammy, a Bison clone, wasn't really British}}), but adopted the nationality because a French man (I'm thinking the Commander) helped him recover.
Then there's Remy, a French emo who when not listening to Blink-182, is ripping off moves from Guile and Charlie, particually Charlie's one-handed Sonic Boom, and he's better at it (i.e. he has more than two special moves). His father disappeared long ago leaving him and his cryogenically frozen (for some reason) sister, something, he never forgave him for.
Line 169:
Impressed with the young Korean's prowess, Bison decided to have Cammy let her live, though did not bestow such kidness on Juri's parents, ordering Cammy to shoot them, right in front of the beaten but still conscious teenager.
The incident broke Juri's mind, turning her into the sadistic brawler that she is in SSFIV.
Things escalated from there, whereas Cammy would eventually be redeemed by Rose, Juri's violent and bloodthirsty reputation would catch the attention of S.I.N.
Thus she could serve as a dark parallel to both Chun-Li and Cammy in terms of backstory and life choices.
** 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
** Actually, [[Jossed|scratch that]]. [[Word of God]] confirms that Bison [[You Killed My Father|killed Juri's parents]] and [[Eye Scream|bereaved her of her left eye]].
*** Could be that Cammy was still involved in some way or another. Or, of course, Juri could be equating her with Bison, [[Cloning Blues|for obvious reasons.]]
** Besides, [[Word of God]] may have confirmed that Bison killed them and tore out her eye, but it didn't say ''how'' he did it. Maybe he killed them by setting his clone on them.
== In ''Super Street Fighter IV Turbo'' ([[Capcom Sequel Stagnation|or whatever they decide to call it this time around]]), Skullomania (of ''[[
[[Love It or Hate It]], there's one thing that everyone loves about the ''EX'' titles: Skullomania. Perhaps the [[Large Ham|campiest]] [[Homage]] to [[Toku]] and [[Super Sentai]] heroes everywhere, [[Fan Nickname|Skullo]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|became a hit with virtually EVERYONE]]. Who could hate him? It would seem that of the entire cast of [[Original Generation|new characters]], Skullo's status as a walking [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] 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, [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|we got Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto, Guy, and Cody]] in ''SSFIV''. If Capcom could pull [[Network to

== Juri Han is intended to be Chun-Li's [[Evil Counterpart]] ==
Line 204:
== Rainbow Mika and Chun Li are one and the same ==
Rainbow Mika apeared once, during the Alpha 3 game, and after that shows up no more. Every Chun Li appearance after that, chronologically AND literally, 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.
* Except that canon has since shown that R. Mika & Chun can be in the same room at the same time. Not forgetting that Chun's main draw is quite different from R. Mika's assets...
Line 214:

It comes from [[A Date
== Aside from Maki [[Final Fight]] 2 and 3 are pretty much [[Canon
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 [[Ship Tease]] moments with Rose in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Street Fighter IV even though he is supposedly [[Happily Married]] to Rena? Simple - Rena no longer exists and Capcom assumed that nobody cared about [[Final Fight]] 2 so Guy gets to have an occasional tender moment or few with Rose.
Now you might be wondering what about Maki from [[Final Fight]] 2? How come she got excluded from the Limbo that Capcom has placed everyone else from the later 2 [[Final Fight]] 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 [[The Unexpected]] addition to Capcom Vs. SNK 2. And since Capcom has already bothered to ever use her again they figured why not [[Throw the Dog
** Although Maki ''herself'' [[Out of Focus|hasn't appeared since those two games]], despite her goal to defeat Guy. This theory could very well be true. Does anyone have an official statement from Capcom themselves?
== The Knife in Fei-Long's ending was from Guy or Rolento. ==
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.
Line 230:
== The Street Fighter world has a [[Multiverse]] similar to [[DC Comics]] and [[Marvel Comics]] ==
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 [[Fan Fiction]] 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 [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|average in the eyes of that universe's inhabitants]]). Oh, and [[Street Fighter:
* To expand on the "ordinary people with no super-human powers" idea (which has been on my mind for a little while now; maybe I'll turn it into a [[Fanfic]]), among the changes from the standard Street Fighter fare: the setting is one gigantic [[City of Adventure]]; M.

== Go Hibiki, Dan's father, took out Sagat's eye with a Goryuken ==
Line 245:
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.

== Oni is the Satsui no Hado incarnate, using Akuma as a vessel. ==
Akuma is the pinnacle of human potential and more thanks to the Satsui no Hado. His beads, however, act as a [[Power Limiter]] 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 [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|go mad with power]] and become a true demon.

== [[Captain Commando]] will one day actually become relevant to the plot of Street Fighter. ==
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.
== Rufus is an [[Expy]] of [[Wario Land
Yellow outfit, ridiculous moustache, and [[Acrofatic|skilled at jumping around despite being preposterously obese?]] Check. Loud-mouthed and proud? Check. Self-appointed rival to a major protagonist, who happens to have an affinity for fire-based attacks? Check.
** Seems unlikely. Rufus hasn't proven to be all that greedy.
Line 267:
All the martial artists in Street Fighter use ridiculously powerful physics defying moves, even practitioners of the "normal" ones like boxing or wrestling. This is because there are no normal martial arts, each and every single one makes use of Ki in some way. Furthermore the different cultures of the world have their own unique methods of Ki manipulation that show up in their martial arts. There's evidence all over the place, for instance...
** Dudley and Boxer always have a wind effect surrounding their special moves. This is because Boxing, and by extension most Western Martial Arts, are using Ki to manipulate the air around them. This is why some of Boxer's moves can go through projectiles, the combination of Ki and air around his body shields him from the Ki in the projectile.
** Guile's Sonic Boom is explicitly stated to be him manipulating the air with Ki. It and the Flash Kick were invented by his friend Charlie who figured out that all Western Martial Arts unconsciously manipulate air with Ki and began directly applying it through the aforementioned moves.
