They swap Bison for Claw to meet Chun in SFV flashback story for Chun that overrides A2 timeline where Bison meet Chun instead. Correct me if I am wrong.

Leaving this here

Double post

I believe they played around with the idea in Vega’s SF4 story, but Cammy ended up being his rival going forward. His Alpha 3 ending planted the seeds for it as well. AAC says Vega was ā€œenvious of the beauty displayed by Chun-Liā€. That’s about it.

That is correct. But I think that both still happen within Chun-Li’s story. Remember that in Chun-Li’s story mode when she confronts Vega, she was a rookie. She also met Guile and Charlie for the first time (during the second fight of her story).
My guess is that in Alpha (1 & 2), Chun-Li is still a young, headstrong interpol officer, but has a little more experience under her belt.

Thanks for the list CLF. Is there a consensus on what the different stats mean?

They’re greatly inconsistent. They give a lot of points to Akuma, Bison, Urien and Necalli (which are characters that are reasonably supposed to be above the average world warrior story-wise) and less points to Ibuki and Mika (which are younger, less ā€œseriousā€ characters), but then you see stuff like Juri and Dhalsim having less points than Birdie and Abigail having as many points as Akuma and more than Bison.
Those stats look a bit random honestly.

My interpretation is that they mix story-strength (hence Akuma and Bison having higher stats across the board) with gameplay factors (character’s health and range on normals) resulting in something that is accurate for neither story or gameplay.

Its the character stats for the game.

VT: vitality/health
ST strength/power
AG: agility/mobility
SK: skill/technique
RA: range

The stats are available on the SFV character page.

I got around to playing Abigail’s story. I’m still in utter shock that Juri and Alex jobbed to that clown.

Well ,that explains how Guile’s wife got full custody of their daughter.

Just another proof that Karin is, indeed, best girl

All blond waifus of Street Fighter are overrated. And the brunettes. There can be only one…

Rose had it goin’ on too. Too bad she ain’t in SFV, however.

The best IMHO, from visual, uniqueness and freshness. Along my favorites Viper and Rose.

Rose is my favorite when it comes to hot SF women. Cammy and Poison are hot, too, but I wouldn’t let the latter fuck me.

A brief Rose presentation.

One day I will go to Kenya to admire the beauty of all the local dark-skinned, white haired gentlewomen that live there.
Who would have thought that such a unique combination would exist in nature, but I know that Capcom would never mess up the representation of an entire African country by giving Elena completely random anime hair color, so it has to be accurate!

Indeed!

Rose is such a cool character and design. It’s criminal that she has no good statues/figurines of her anywhere. Not waifu enough I guess.

They didn’t give her anime hair color, actually. Yes, I’m nitpicking, but Elena’s hair and general appearance comes in fact from a manga.
Everyone already knows that Elena’s backstory and a good part of her personality¹ is more or less lifted from Secret of Blue Water’s Nadia. It was generally thought that her hair came from X-Men’s Storm… But I bumped into a Japanese blogger who describes ē¾…ēŗä¼ Ragōden, an obscure manga by Sei Itō, serialised about the same period SFIII first came out. It’s the classic pseudo-mythological retelling of an old Sengoku period story, using Hindu mythology characters such as Rahu or Garuda. Ragō is Rahu’s Japanese name, in fact.
As for Garuda… Well, Garuda is her:

Same attire, same body, same hair, same fighting style. If you leave out the talons on her feet and the fact she can instantly grow feathers on her back to fly (she’s Garuda, after all…), she’s the perfect inspiration for Elena.
We can conclude that SFIII Elena is basically Nadia + Garuda.

¹ Well, except for the tsundere part. Nadia was far too often extremely unpleasant. :rofl:
