Just read the entire timeline, I am curious to know…In what part of SFV is the info that retconned back the events of Akuma killing M. Bison instead of the later exploding himself as we saw in those aftermaths clips from SFIV?
Our only hint is that they are ignoring that the two met or know each other. Yet in very modern reiteration of SF2 Bison is still being quick worked by Akuma.
Yet it isn’t a consideration because it had no other character from the other series making it like it’s a universe of it own. Compare that to SF4 Aftermath that really picks up where SF4 had left and it had connection from Seth and Viper.
I prefer the SF4 aftermath it makes sense and that’s the better of Bison making him look powerful because everyone gangs against him. Compare to what SFV Shadow falls is with one on one with Ryu. The battle is still meh.
To be honest, If it is the case that Akuma SGSin Bison was retconned back, I am happy it is that way then. To me that was kind of an iconic moment in the SF lore that I replayed in my mind many times (from the days of the old plot guide, an of course SSF2T)
The whole Bison killng himself while fighting the warriors always came up to me as way to Anime Cliche-esque. I mean, to each their own as I dont critize anybody liking that, just was not my thing.

It’s bad ass. It’s the time that Akuma was something more and better, The time Akuma aims for the greatest warrior and worthy opponents than what he had become now being someone that trying to convince and prove himself to Ryu. lol
I don’t mind having that back.
Bison is also proving and convincing Ryu in SFV shadow falls lol. Seth did it better in the ties that bind haha.
I’ve been away from the forums due to vacations, now I’m back.
I’ve noticed that Midgardsorm has dropped a bunch of weighty boulders full of trivia on the stuff that inspired Street Fighter.

Well, yeah, gotta be honest, seeing AVGN knows very little about Street Fighter lore made me lose quite a bit of respect for him.
Also for seeing how basic his gameplay style/habits look, and how easily he dismisses Street Fighter III (21:10):
Yeah, he’s that kind of dude that always picks Ryu and knows nothing but the “hadouken, hadouken, jumping HK, crouching HK” game style.
Sorry, it’ll probably be too immature from me, but seeing someone that has kind of made a career out of video games not knowing (or be interested) enough into Street Fighter yes, it makes me lose a lot of respect for him.

@Midgardsorm: I finally caught up with the last major post you made in the last thread, as usual amazing stuff! Astounded by all your info once again dude! It’s always cool to see the origin of such iconic moves, and dang, didn’t know about Honda’s technique controversy!
I’m a huge Superman fan, so the Clark Robinson stuff is vastly entertaining. I am LOVING the counter where he takes Ricki’s punch and turns it into a handshake, that’s something I’d gladly give to G (or a super mellow, “no strings on me”, Q)
Crap, that muscle control being Muscle power, the origin of Reno_SF2V-Charlie? That’s some deep pulling, well done dude!

Inaccurate though, since Sagat doesn’t give a shit what Bison thinks.
If anything, they should be swapped, since Sagat kinda ignores being in Shadaloo to obsess over Ryu.

They should replace Sagat with F.A.N.G.

Who made that shit?
The guy has always been open about being a filthy casual. Given that he’s a retro gamer I don’t see him ever giving a shit about any game’s plot much less Street Fighter.

He’s not a retro gamer.
And he made videos before stating he sort of had a crush with Street Fighter, only to later said it looked like a stupid game to him because of the fantasy elements.
Agree, He even admit’s it at the beginning that his not into SF and more into MK and Final Fight. So it’s fair his not claiming some sort of authority in that part.
He even admits before that he wasn’t into Power Rangers and more into Kaiju. When doing a review with Power Rangers.
