Yeah it’s kinda bizarre that the story order is SF 1, SF 0, SF II, SF 4, SF 5, SF 3
Would you like to point out to me where ever did I write that, please?
Well, Japan does. And since they’re the ones that made them, what they say counts is what matters.
It doesn’t matter what their roadmap is. If nobody buys season 2, there isn’t going to be a season 3, 4, 5, etc.
Well, yeah. But then SF4 would have had to be 2.5. And SF5 would have to be 2.75.
@Miðgarðsorm Just ignore him. It’s not worth the frustration.
Ok, after a LONG wait, here’s the first part. I’m sorry, I had an urgent translation to do at work today, and this wasn’t an easy job. I don’t know if and when I’ll be able to continue. Spoilered for size.

奇跡でもなんでもない。己が欲望に、より忠実な私の勝ちだ。
It’s not a miracle at all. It’s only the victory of the one more devoted to his desires.
¹ While the “hips” part is obvious, what is very funny is the “attack and defence” one. 攻め seme “attack” and 受け uke “defence” are also used in the Japanese gay world to mean the active and passive role respectively. “Attack” and “defence” are scattered across the quotes with the same double entendre 
² Yes, “seme” as ¹.
³ ROTFL, Eagle took Mai for an old-times prostitute…
⁴ Standard Japanese euphemism for “masturbation”.
⁵ No, the original Japanese doesn’t carry the double meaning “coming out” has in English, but I admit it was hilarious.
OHHH MYYY GODDD
THE HO YAY IS OVER 69000
Eagle is 110% fabulous, I love that you translated these!
Midgard, you are the fucking man!
That’s the entire point of Japanese Strong Style of pro-wrestling. And it’s a stroke of genius, if you think about it: they protected the kayfabe and at the same time elevated wrestling as a test of endurance. The audience won’t ask things such as “why the hell should a wrestler run to the ropes facing away from his opponent” or “why don’t they at least try to block their opponent’s hits”, because a real wrestler shall run directly into danger and scoff at it. You don’t have to worry about trying to make a match credible when you choose to focus on making it an epic battle of testosterone (yes, even between women), because a real wrestler could intentionally take an opponent’s finisher just to show he’s able to survive it, and then respond with his moves… Which is exactly what Zangief does throughout the entire story mode. In this context, it’s not surprising that in Japanese wrestling a match can be ended by just about any move, when the opponent has… used up all his vital energy, as in a fighting game.
This sheds a new light to the win quote of Mr Karate vs Raiden in KoF XIII: “That’s the problem with wrestlers. You actually attempted to take my strikes!”
Anyway, Eagle’s quotes are awesome. Now I want him in SFV even more.
Wich is the point also of the R.Mika scene, where she inflict herself to tank a Rog punch to be worth of bea Gief disciple
Also all this remember me the japanese fighting tradition of being bitchslapped by Inoki (pro wrestler) as good luck thing LOL
Here Lyoto Machida, UFC mma jap-brazilian fighter (not UFC back then)
Because
Eagle is a true Prince of the Universe.
their goes the dream is dead… and deader to marvel fans again…
been expecting this.
hopefully we get something special in PSX for SF5 still hoping it’s a character release or an arcade mode really… Goutetsu is an okay through than any Tekken guesting.
Eagle is an interesting character that needs to be in SFV
God, now I really want to see his quotes to Birdie, Karin, Ibuki, and Juri if he makes it in.
“Goutetsu was a practitioner of Satsui no Hado, martial art that incorporated elements of Karate, Judo, Kenpo … Goutetsu found the place between serenity and madness … Akuma became interested in the darker side of the martial art”
what?
Kinda weird it’s far from canon nor the previous plot guide not even from udon, assassin fist or sfa-generation… where could have he get his interpretation?
I mean, Satsui no Hado isn’t even a martial art. It’s the way you harness, manage, and use your Ki, and because of its nature it consumes your mind and soul, driving you into a killing spree madness, that’s why it’s called “Surge of Murderous Intent”, it literally makes you want to kill people
Antatsuken is the martial art, SnH and Power on Nothingness only use the moves that are part of Ansatsuken
the real name and gouken leaving the dojo duno where he get his reference from? is that from comics, manhua or manga?
Gouki is Akuma’s original Japanese name (which is essentially his real name)
