There are many various scenarios that are likely, but these are the only matches that I believe to be confirmed. We could probably go on and on about matches that could have happened, but these are the only ones that are guaranteed official. As always, feel free to add to the list if I have missed or forgotten any.

Two possible Matches…

Ryu vs. Dhalism (implied from SF3 dialogue).

Ryu vs. Necro.

Ryu vs. Alex, Ryu vs. Ken (take place in 3rd Strike).

Ibuki vs. Makoto (likely match in 2nd Impact).

Just out of the blue, what else is there that seems to point out that Zangief really is gay? Didn’t Capcom flat-out say that he is? Apparently, some people just don’t think his dislike for “young beautiful women” is convincing enough.

Couldnt he like old or at least some mature not so beautiful women? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

You gotta love Alex’s quotes:

vs. Elena: “If you want guys to like you, you got to use those legs for something else.”

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Too good.

Actually, I’d like to hear from Saiki or Tiamat about this.

Well there’s always his quotes:

“You dance very nicely Mr. President”.

“My body is so beautiful, it ought to be in a magazine”.

Heres a pic of Zangiefs SSF2T ending, where he has a pic of a girl on his mirror, matbe a love interest? I have no clue though if it is or not.

As far as his quotes go, maybe he has deep admiration for the president, or is sucking up, and a little…well maybe extreamly self absorbed with his own body, not nessesarily making him gay. I dont know many gay men who wrestle bears in the siberian snow.

Well then, I was wrong about that picture being of a girl, I looked over it, and turns out it looks a lot like Vega(us) Balrog(japan). Well, guess he might be gay, but thats one gay guy no one will mess with, be sure of that. Assuming he is gay.

snicker That’s not a girl in that picture. That’s Vega/Balrog :lol: But… no, that’s not a love interest. The Japanese scribbled on the photo says “Baka” which means ‘idiot’. :stuck_out_tongue:

In all honesty, I don’t know much about Zangief being gay, either. Only Saiki does, really. I know there are other things like him prancing around happily in a succubus body in Morrigan’s ending in Marvel VS Street Fighter (at least, I think that was the right game) or such… dunno about much else, though, really. :sweat: I’m wondering where it’s mentioned, too, since someone at the Madman Cafe boards said he couldn’t find it in All About Capcom.

Hehe, ya, I noticed it was Vega/Balrog, didnt knwo though what the wrting was, thanks for explaining it though :slight_smile:

Guess Zang doesnt like Vega/Balrog much huh. Whats up with that?

Also I have a question about Honda and Chun-Li. In SF2, I remember Chun having a symbol on her back, saw it when doing the Spinning Bird Kick, and then saw it agian on Hondas stage, both in the Sf2 games, and then in the SFA# Honda stage, in the center of the stage. Whats the connection between these two, if any?

Two questions.

  1. I was just playing A3, as E. Ryu, and I noticed something. After the fight, SnH Ryu asked why Sagat wasn’t fighting with all his strength. I know that the E. Ryu storyline didn’t actually happen, but this seems kind of interesting. Sagat says,

“You are not the Ryu who left this scar on my chest.”

I thought that the only time the SnH manifested in Ryu was the time he left the scar on Sagat’s chest? Is that just ignorance on Sagat’s part, did he not know Ryu was under the influence of SnH?

  1. About Ryu’s Dp and Ken’s Dp. So who has the better one? I’ve heard it commented that Ryu’s was more of a defensive move than Ken’s. But what do you guys think? And What is stronger, the Shin Shoryuken or Ken’s Shinryuken.

Ryu’s Shin Shoryuken is the stronger of the two, although Ken’s is flashier.

That’s why Ryu’s is a level 3 in games OTHER then SF3.

As for which ‘normal’ Shoryuken is better, that depends on your definetion of ‘better’.

Ken’s has more range, more hits and is much of an offensive weapon.

Ryu’s is the more traditional version which is mainly used for defense.

Tiamat: That joke ending where Zangief swaps minds with Lilith is from Marvel vs. Capcom, and it’s actually Lilith’s or “secret Morrigan’s” ending. I strongly suggest you add that to the Plot Guide so that people will stop asking questions in disbelief and impertinently lose trust in all that recorded material. It has to be a justifiable piece of evidence that supports the notion that Zangief is gay, seeing as how he doesn’t have an emotional outburst upon realizing his mind’s been transferred to Lilith’s body. And Capcom’s statement that Zangief dislikes “young beautiful women” automatically rules out the possibility of him wanting to get close to Morrigan in that ending.

Oh, and I just heard from somebody at GameFAQs that in Pocket Fighter, Sakura has this super where a horde of muscle men run across the screen, grab the other player and drag them offscreen. Usually, when a character gets tossed back, male characters have the “dizzy” kinda look but females have hearts in their eyes. Obviously, Zangief comes out with the hearts. :sweat:

And here’s one comment I forgot to make regarding Zangief and Eagle’s CvS2 intro. I find it unlikely that Capcom would make them spin at each other like that just to make fun of how they both have lariat-type specials as Ultima suggested. Every intro in the game between two characters of the same company has to have some reasonable foundation for it. I mean, Chun-Li and Honda each have multi-hitting specials that require you to jam on the punch or kick buttons, but you don’t see them in an intro where they’re going at it in the same fashion. Zangief and Eagle had no reported relations to each other in past SF games, so they can’t give them some kind of interaction all of a sudden without making it an obvious hint towards the one thing they most have in common. This is why you also see Vega/Balrog throwing a rose at Kyosuke in their intro; both are vain and think highly of their own looks. :smiley:

tsj76: I don’t think Sagat realized Ryu was under the influence of SnH. If he did, he wouldn’t have been holding a grudge against him for some time before SFA3. Of course, Ryu had no basic understanding of what Satsui No Hado was until he was subjected to fight against Bison’s Psycho Power, so it can be deduced that Sagat wouldn’t of known about SnH at the time of SF1 either.

IMO, Ryu’s Shoryuken is better because it’s packed with such power that it can knock his opponents down in one hit, thus it has more priority than Ken’s Shoryuken. Case in point, Ryu’s win over Adon in SF1 by one Shoryuken.

If you’re talking DP supers, then I’d still say Ryu’s Shoryukens are better because his Shin Shoryuken is known to be one of the most powerful moves in the SF universe. None of Ken’s DP supers can even amount to that, no matter how much flash he puts into them.

THANK YOU!

Dear GOD, I’m getting sick and tired of putting up with people saying that Zangief can’t be gay then accusing me of making up BS. They continue to not believe that Lilith MVC ending and that Eagle Zangief introduction aren’t indicators, and there is nothing I can do about that because even if those come close, they still aren’t 100% conclusive, but that Pocket Fighter one seems irrefutable. Whew! adds that to the guide

So good ole’ Gief is gay too huh? :lol: :lol: :lol:

But hey, what can you expect from a guy who wrestles bears half naked in the snow?

I foudn out that the Capcom of USA employee who created Dee Jay is named James Goddard

I wonder why people refuse to believe Zangief is gay? Capcom has stated that he is gay. And like someone said, when he got Lilith’s body in MVC, he didnt seem to not like it.
I didnt even know about the Pocket fighter one though…I think that one pretty much proves it for ppl who dont believe Gief is gay.

Yeah, some people are just too dumb to catch on to the validity of it all, or they’re too arrogant to admit they’re wrong in thinking that Zangief isn’t gay. It’s sad, really. When somebody displays an outlandish piece of evidence and wrongfully suggests that Ryu is gay, people are usually quick to jump on the bandwagon. Yet when there is actual in-game evidence that proves a less popular character like Zangief is gay, some people just HAVE to deny it and foolishly try to pick it apart in his defense? Oh, the irony of it all.
