Isn’t Yun in SFA3 canon a bit too far? His win quotes to some of the characters suggested that he was from actually from the SF3 era and not just a younger incarnation of himself. Unless Ingrid brought him through time with her I wouldn’t call his appearance in the Alpha series a canon one, although Cammy in Alpha 2 could be disputed. Her ending mentions “recovered memories”, but if she’s just a clone of M. Bison then what memories would she have to recover? The Psycho Limiter mentioned could explain why she wouldn’t have direct access to Psycho Power like her twin sister. They would’ve installed it on her not only in fear of her becoming too strong, but as a safe guard from succumbing to Psycho Contamination like Decapre.
I think the memories could be of her childhood and the ‘training’ she went through. It could also be a reference to Cammy’s original plot which was that she was kidnapped and brainwashed. The whole ‘clone’ shtick didn’t really come into play until Alpha 3 so much that they had to go back and change the wording of her SF2 ending. This basically means that when they wrote her Alpha 2 ending, she still wasn’t a ‘clone’, hence the ‘recovered memories’.
I also don’t think SFA3 Yun is too far considering that SF4’s timeline begins 6 months (give or take) after SFA3/SF2. Yun is in SF4 and he was doing fine.
Interesting quote that I found from Capcom-Unity. Something from the Playstation experience event.
*Original post XtraTrstrL
Of course, nothing is concrete. And there is no official reveal that confirms everthing yet. However, Ono said he wanted to do story mode differently from past SF games.
Cammy is a geek just like Guile and Chun. Juri would have mopped the canvas with her with or without distractions.
This is right. Bison deleted her memories about this, she was able to use them in Alpha2, but she was to powerfull even for Bison to handle. She has the Power and was designed to be resistent against damage from it, Bison wanted her to use and she grown up like a normal Human in terms of speed. He doesn’t wait 19 years for a Body just to use it 2 years and then lose it again,cause it can’t handle the Psycho Power.
Bisons physical strengh doesn’t come from his Psycho Power either , all his bodys are modificated to be stronger,faster and more durable than the ones of normal humans.
This includes Cammy too.
Probabaly is SFIV Bison to much, yet she fights barely alone and has either Chun or her Delta-Red teammates as backup, when it comes to stronger opponents.
Basicly if Cammy enters a tournament her Team is in range to jump in if she has really trouble, but this never happend. They probably helped to hunt Bison after the SF2 finals.
But discussing who vs who can sometimes go on forever without a result.
Urien is super strong!!!
He lost to Ken and Chun in SF3
Ryu is super strong!!!
He never won a tournament after SF1, lost in SF2 to Ken, got bodied by Dudley.
Gill is a god!!!
And lost to Alex.
You can now say Juri won in the OVA, but then lost to Cammy in the tournament. This comes with the story and I just collect informations.
Based on that quote, it looks like the story will be expanded upon as SFV is updated. I’m good with that.
Yeah but will it be expanded linearly where the roster of Season 1 will tell their story then the roster of Season 2 will continue it like Starcraft campaigns? Or will every season simply add more pieces to the puzzle but all events are happening relatively simultaneously? Does this mean there is a Final Boss or will every season have its own boss?
Ono’s quote means they haven’t started thinking about it yet.
Reality would get bodied by Dudley. He’s THAT awesome 
I’m not a big fan of Dudley.
But his Mustache is awesome and should become his own movie.
It’s not the timeline that concerns me with Yun, it’s his Alpha 3 interactions with the characters that appear along with him in SF3. His win quotes to them seem to be tongue in cheek references to their SF3 counterparts.
Yun vs. Ryu: "Funny, you look younger, but yet you have more moves…"
Yun vs. Ken: "Long hair really doesn’t suit you!"
Yun vs. Chun-Li: “Wow! I never would have imagined that you could look like this!”
He even seems to reference Necro in his win quote to Dhalsim, calling his stretchy move’s unoriginal as if he’s seen them before.
Yun vs. Dhalsim: “Your wacky stretch moves are unoriginal to me!”
Also, his win quote to M.Bison flat out states he is from another time period.
Yun vs. M.Bison: “I can see why you don’t exist in my time…”
Yun’s story may or may not be canon in the Alpha series (he and his brother confronting Fei Long on suspicions of selling drugs for Shadaloo), but his interactions with any of the characters in the presented manner were non canon.
In contrast, Eagle’s quotes to particular characters in Alpha 3 would suggest he would be canon, as they actually reference how certain characters pertain to their past selves.
Eagle vs. Adon: "So little has changed since I saw you last…"
Eagle vs. Sagat: “You are still a great fighter! And now you have more moves!”
Totally missed those winquote. Capcom ar fucking trolls. I don’t see Yun and Ingrid’s arcade modes being canon at all.
There are many ways that they can do this. But having the story be updated and expanded is a good way to keep players interested.
It’s interesting to see how they are going to do this. If Each prologue and ending for the characters in SFIV added something to the “story”. If the pieces were put together the right way, then you could see exactly how the events of SFIV takes place. And I think that’s what SFV is gonna do (without having to play each and every character to find out what happens).I think it’s gonna be one linear story with the chance to play through most of the roster. Maybe the possibility of revisiting characters that you played already. (since the game’s main characters are Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li, it wouldn’t surprise me if you got to play as them in the story mode multiple times within the course of the overarching story). But with each new season, you add another plot, another piece. Maybe there is a huge plot that must be resolved but at the end of every season, a smaller plot is solved that adds a piece of the solution to the main arc.
I think each season will have it’s own final boss at the end of each but the very last season, there should be the final ultimate boss at the end.
The one big thing that worries me is how they’re gonna animate it, if they chose to do so. An expanded and updated story sounds like a fun idea, but it would be cheap if they decided to take the route of using still images instead of animated sequences.
Now that I am over how tacky the Shadaloo stage is (it really looks like Dr. Evil’s ‘Secret Volcano Lair’ or ‘Secret Moon Base’), I can see several things:
-
It’s actually called ‘Lair of the Four Kings’. TACKY!
-
Like someone else pointed it (@bakfromon ?), the screens in the background show significantly less Shadaloo bases in the world since SF4’s screens (Seth stage). This could mean that those were SIN bases in SF4, or that Shadaloo is still underground and possibly in decline in SF5. Note that none of the remaining Shadaloo bases are in mainstream spots. All of them are hidden in remote areas of the planet, possibly underground, underwater, or man made islands.
-
The Shadaloo Base is under attack by the Ninjas from the Kanzuki estate. This could be related to Ibuki’s clan, Karin’s underlings, or even Guy’s clan.
-
The hexagonal tile flooring is reminiscent of Seth’s stage. This leads me to believe that the Shadaloo stage will have two states, the one we see now and one where it is collapsing into shambles.
-
There is a statue on the far right with 4 Bisons each striking a pose (very Charlie’s Angels), is this a reference to cloning or another one of Bison’s eccentricities.
-
There is a hooded man that seems to be using Psycho Power. I am not sure if he is doing this naturally or by means of technology (the braces on his wrists). Sometimes he wins the fight and other times he loses. Loser falls into the molten lava (but returns somehow for another round).
-
I noticed this in the Airport stage, but it seems Shadaloo now enjoy the employment of soldiers in flying exosuits.
Fang is a fan of experiments, the number 2, and of course, Lord Bison.
From what little we can see (most of it is blocked from the camera) from his win quotes, he taunts Gief on not being able to beat him with muscles alone, and calls Birdie “the deserter” and presumably tells him to prepare for his execution. He seems a bit overwhelmed by Necalli, saying “What monstrosity!”, and the last bit of the quote says “take effect?”, which is most likely him wondering how long it’ll be for his Poison to take effect or something along those lines.
I can’t wait to read more win quotes from this creep.
Inevitable Cody/Fang quote: “Poison? Yeah I knew her, what’s it to ya?”

Take your pick
Search Street Fighter Story and enjoy.
Or do what I (and most people here did) play the games and just enjoy not only the cinematics but the gameplay as well.
Take a look at the Street Fighter Plot Guide and stop by the general SF story thread or the SF5 story thread to discuss what’s wrong about the guide.
There must have been a height requirement to be Sagat’s replacement in Shadaloo.
If your not trying to read a giant block of text, a couple of fans have compiled detailed videos of some of the canon aspects of Street Fighter.
In my opinion, the “funnest” sources of canon information I’ve found are a series of videos done in Mugen that actually play out some of the details in the “Plot Guide”.
I’ll provide a link to each of them, but finding answers beyond this requires mostly sifting through boring walls of text, or watching documentary style videos detailing the different stories, quotes, and endings that make up the continuity.
