They gotta age up these characters. Can’t let people know I fap to reverse time Ibuki because CuckCom can’t move past SF3

It has been 20 years since 3rd Strike and Ryu has aged like -3 years. When I started playing SF2, Ryu was a grown man and my ass was in middle school. Now I’m older than him. When the original version of SF3 launched, Ibuki amd I were the same age…

NRS doesn’t deserve the credit for for time traveling characters (NRS), Ryu has been doing it for years.
They need to work it into his gameplay for SF6. EX hado should come back to his hands from the other side of the screen.
Characters that age up are wack anyway. Even if you want to move a character’s story forward you can usually do that without bringing aging into it, so why bother?

Definitely. But you can’t do the SF thing and both call attention to the passage of time, and ignore it at the same time.
It’s one or the other.
Pretty sure Frost has me beat at this point
I don’t expect characters to age like we do. That said, they don’t have to be stagnant.

I think that the game that established a time gap in the series was SFIII, while SFIV pretty much tried to undo that gap by having characters from the Alpha timeline and the III timeline in the same game. SFV’s story too is about linking the rest of the series with III since A Shadow Falls can pretty much lead directly into III’s timeline.

Yeah, prior to SF4-5 trying to “fill in the gap” there was really no issue.
I almost think it would be best to make SF3 non-cannon. Cleans things up a lot… except SFV does a lot of thing to try and set up SF3… shrug
SF lore is a mess.

Depends. Some characters, besides the obvious lolis can use a bit of age to develop their storyline, like Ken for example.
If you give everyone Sim beards though, shit’s going to get wack with the quickness.

Maybe all of SF timeline took place over one really messed up weekend. Kinda like the Hangover, but with Hadokens
Alternatively, give everyone beards. Maybe one beard will be as great as @GetTheTables
SF4 trying to be the nostalgia act it was in addition to trying to tell a new story really fucked everything up, I agree. And it gave us Seth and El Fuerte -shudder-

It gave us Juri and Gouken.
So the game is gold.
A Zombie and footfetish bait are now gold.
Dark times, real dark times.
A noble if futile goal.
More beards is always a good policy.
Shit now I want a Kolin/Rasputin crossover costume.

They should officially give Gief greying hair and beard, though.
He would look so hot.

Welp, got my last 100 matches up to 50% instead of the 45% they were at when I first started. Need to review some footage and fix up a bunch of mistakes. But the adaptations are coming back and so are a bunch of other things.

I’d buy the white-supremacist-Gief costume.
