アメリカ 空軍中尉。 インテリ だ が 格闘技 に も すぐれ 、 マーシャル アーツ の 全米大会 で 優勝 し た 経歴 を 持つ。軍上層部 の 不正 を 調査中 シ ャドルー の 息 が かかっ た 上司 に 気づか れ 田舎 に 左遷 さ れ た。 それ でも めげ ず 、 武器弾庫 の 管理職 という 新しい立場 を 利用 し 、 同志 を 集め て 私設軍隊 を 結成。春麗 と 手 を 組み 、 打倒 シャ ドルー を 目指す。悲惨 な エンディング を 迎える の が お 約束 だっ た が, 本作 で は ハリアー を 操縦 し て ベガ を 追いつめ 、 「 スト ZERO 」 シリーズ 初 の 生還 を 果たした。 なお コンシューマ 版 で は 、 ガイル の 親友 •ナッシュ と 同一人物 で ある こと が 明らか に。 ガイル に 言わせる と クール さ が 売り で ある はず の ナッシュ も , じつは 「 熱く なり やすい 」 人 な の だ とか。

An outstanding fighter who serves under the attention of the United States Air Force. With a cool and collected demeanor that adheres with a ranking officer of the military he starts an investigation after hearing rumors of superiors suspected collusion with known a drug organization. Sporting an especially hardened youthful appearance with a horn of handsome blonde hair and intelligent looking glasses. Despite engineering a plan to corner Vega, he is ambushed while attempting to contact assistance, fate is left unknown…At the time of the games release he is revealed to the player as Guile’s friend, and the same person mentioned in his “SF2” ending, despite not having made an official appearance up until this point. He’s Guile’s best buddy in the Air Force and has the same fighting style and technique, his glasses are merely a fashion accessory being that he has 20-20 visual acuity (his vision is perfect and he doesn’t need glasses).

Regardless of the injustice in the army he belongs to, a man challenges Shadaloo alone. Even while cornering Vega in the very end, Vega sighs in relief as he witnesses Nash being shot by a U.S military aircraft and fall down a waterfall, following an end more miserable than the last (fate still unknown). By the way, the figure of a local man resembling him appears in Chun Li’s Beijing stage during the bike rush.

Ranking United States Air Force Lieutenant. He is intelligent but also an expert fighter, having a history of winning the National Martial Arts Tournament. Sparking an investigation into Shadaloo after witnessing misconduct in the military’s upper echelon, his superiors sigh in relief when he is relegated to the fields. Undaunted still, he takes advantage of his position and takes management of a weapons ammunition depot, forming an amassed private army. With Chun Li assembled at hand, he aims to take down Shadaloo. While a tragic ending had justifiable promise, in this game he corners Vega while flying his harrier jet, marking the first time he survives in the “SFZ” series. It should be noted that in the home version, his best friend • Guile evidently plays similarly to Nash. Featuring Guile as well as Nash is seen as cool and good for sales, in fact that’s “liable to be a hot” for anyone.

So based on character bios for both Sagat and Ryu from several games - there’s no evidence that Ryu got consumed by Satsui no Hado for a moment because he got salty from the loss to Sagat and Shoryuken’d him so hard he got the scar?

Where did the original mentioning of this instance came from, then?

I think @“Lord Vega” mentioned that the plot guide references the AASFZ book as its source, which covers SFZ related details only. I have yet to even scan over the AASFZ3 pages, and if it’s anything like the SFZ book than there’s probably a ton of info to sift through.

The biographies I’m going over are more like short synopsis giving general points that cover each character throughout the generation. Compared to the ones in the actual AASF books, which I assume are more detail oriented given the amount of info on one page for each character.

So until I start to cover the basis of those, keep in mind that these bios are mostly un polished compilations. We might get some details on some things, and some might be included within another guide.

I’m a bit surprised myself. Well, not concerning the “he got salty from the loss to Sagat” part because I have been doubting this for a whole while now. But I assumed that the story of Ryu being consumed by the Satsui no Hado for a last desperation attack in a fight that he was close to losing was indeed part of the storyline. But yeah, no mention of this in the story books.

Where did the original mentioning of this instance came from, then?

It was first mentioned in the “Street Fighter Alpha” manga. And UDON did the same.
Neither of those sources are canon, but at least it’s not just mere fan fiction. Licensed works have used it, so if it’s not canon, then this is how it crept in.

Although I still believe that Evil Ryu’s ending from SFA3 includes a flashback to that battle and therefore confirms Ryu briefly being consumed by the Satsui no Hado in SF1:
http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/psx/b/sfa3eryu.htm

Some people believe that this is just a flashback to his SFA3 mid-boss fight against Sagat. But I have my doubts:

The mid-boss fight was disappointing for Ryu since Sagat held back. Yet, the flashback is shown while he says the words: “My fist is soaked with blood. The blood of death.” Why use such a non-exciting, disappointing, random battle to symbolize Ryu’s path to darkness?

Also, a Dragon Punch against Sagat again? Pretty redundant. And confusing because, well, you can confuse it with their SF1 battle.

This red, scar-shaped flash, as if to indicate that Sagat’s chest was ripped open.

I see Hakan. Why.

[FengShuiEnergy]

A novel eh?

[bakfromon]

I see Hakan. Why.

Because his hair is fun to draw, like a Lego.

This has probably been discussed, but I think there’s a connection between Necallis hair and Gills hair.

[Hawkingbird]

There’s a Japanese bookstore in the city. I hope they will carry the novel. Hakan and Elena on the cover is a good sign.

[JLALloyd]

Thanks for all the translations @bakfromon and everyone posting the scans. Finally some Street Fighter EX informations after all these years !

[Doctrine_Dark]

In time, we’ll get around to doing a guide based around the SF EX plots. We have the basic story down for them, so we just have to get the profiles of everyone and figure out how they factor into the story. I’m going to upload every SFEX profile so we’ll be ready for it when we’re done with the main story stuff. Hopefully stuff like “Kairi killed Akuma, Bison absorbed the souls from Garuda” can actually be cleared up when we’re done.

I always felt like the EX story was the most interesting because of how mysterious it was. In Chun-Li’s EX3 ending, Bison escapes and she indirectly comes across a shadowy organization while investigating the tournament:

Investigation Report

Dear Chief:

Here are the results of my investigation

Mission: Obtain information surrounding the tournament

Report: As we had assumed, it was General M. Bison who was the head of the tournament. Unfortunately, we failed to apprehend him. However, I noticed signs that another evil organization might exist. This would pose an entirely new threat to our investigation. I recommend that someone look into this organization immediately.

ICPO Special Investigator, Chun-Li

It was probably an organization along the same lines of SIN or maybe the Secret Society. It’s only mentioned in EX3, but I still like thinking of how this stuff could relate to other games.

[AriesWarlock]

I don’t know if anyone else agrees, but I find the one-inch punch thing visually unappealing, be it Fei-long’s or Karin’s super.

[DarthEnder]

I love the One Inch Punch. I think Karin spinning them is the dumb part.

[Doctrine_Dark]

I’m indifferent to it. Sometimes it looks cool, but it gets old really fast. I just like listening to Karin’s laugh.
