Ryu and Chun will never be a thing. They will be in official art together to promote the SF brand but canonically they have no character interaction.
Unless Capcom revives Gouken’s Daughter or give Ryu a random sexy NPC after he completes his training, his “love interest” will probably be either Sakura or his fists.
Speaking of related characters, the most stupid thing they could probably have done was making Juli related to T.Hawk instead of Noembelu. They should freaking retcon that shit.
The two short manga strips that she appears are:
1: Hadoken: Prelude to Struggle printed on Gamest #13 in 1987
I thought this manga was official, but the author Kiyoshi Utata already mentioned that he drawn that strip without Capcom’s permission.
2: A short story from the SF2: Memorial FanBook, but some captions on the first page of the story mentions that such events are related specifically with the Movie.
It seems that she was mentioned in SF2: Mysteries of the Hadoken, but i can’t tell. The book is basically japanese text with some screen caps from the games…
EDIT a few hours later: I asked RyoRedCyclone about the Mysteries of the Hadoken book. And, yes, she’s mentioned there.

たしかに師匠の娘がリュウに鉢巻きを贈ったと書かれています。しかし、私は非公式の設定だと思います。リュウの鉢巻きはKENにもらいました。 It
is written that the teacher’s daughter gave Ryu a headband.But I
think it’s an informal setting. I got Ryu’s headband
from KEN.
My thoughts in the case of Seth is either shadaloo has records of secret society leaders and uploaded to Seth or he had seen them once so he has copied it.
But I do like it that Capcom will would had there own answer officially than my speculation.
Judging by the earliest Capcom official books, however, it was Ryu who was gay for Ken instead…
The blog is coming, I’ve found many other things in the meantime so I had to amend and add various bits even to previous articles.
Interesting, i didn’t know she existed unofficially in 1987. I only remembered her appearance in the SFII one you mentioned.
I feel that Sakura (and even Makoto) killed off any chance of seeing another female fighter who wears a hachimaki. Or more specifically a female companion for Ryu since Sakura took that role.
Idk, he may be older than that but sure af not old enough to be Remy’s father
Assuming in SF3 Ryu is around 35 and Remy around 20, if in SF1 Ryu was let’s say 20, Remy was already 5
I think Abel got saved by Nash as a kid old enough to remember it (he’s able to recognize the similarity with Guile in 4) back to ALPHA days, as Nash was still alive to do it (then he stayed dead till SFV)
But again faster growth, so even if he was grown and able to remember like a 10yo he could have been like 1-2 back then as far we know
My guess Abel is like 16-17yo i real years while beng like a 25yo in terms of growth
Kinda loose calculation, but safe enough say Abel definitely was’nt jizzing in french vaginas 5 years and 9 months before SF1
Welcome to anime
Not only that
We also have that Remy’s dad was a fighter who never returned home (in Remy’s perspective abandoned them), and we know his get suddently killed in mission back to Alpha days may be compatible with that
We also know for whatever reason Nash considered FRANCE the best safe place to hide a kid (Abel) from somebody (Shadaloo) that want him
So, if we want consider he had a family hidden somewhere (as he did’nt even trusted USA anymore) good chance he keept them in same place, hidden from both traitors and shadaloo
this
Canon or not, hopefully they forgot that shit, last thing SF needs is more ansatsuken slots expansion
No chances for Necalli lol, but at least i guess they’re still in time to justify their position that G is a “Boss”
Rose will surely offer some light on that, but maybe 5th character too
