Ok so this is what RedCylcone says about the paragraph that we thought means “Chun-Li is a reason for Zangief to shave” in the Gamest issue 61:
"He would like to rub his mustache on her (men sometimes play with children and rub their mustache on them)."
To me this sounds like he sees her as a child and wants to cuddle with her because she’s so adorable. I asked again if it says something about shaving. I’ll let you know what he says.
Without being asked for it, RedCyclone translated the texts to these Complete File drawings:

?? are quotation marks I think
"Balrog
Ugly face!
This is totally a face of the losers.
Blanka
girl1 ??Who is he? ??
girl2 ??He cannot be the student of our university.??
A salesclerk ??Will you please go over there???
Chun-Li
A bad face!
I think that there is not the person who wants to marry me.
Dhalsim
I bathe with an elephant(kodaru) in a river.
It is very happy time.
E. Honda
A sumo season begins.
An intense fight begins again.
Guile
Guile is working in the armed forces.
??The right side is him??
Ken
Because he was strong, I was surprised.
KEN prepared for a rematch and investigated one’s(KEN’s) weak point.
RYU! The next will win to you!
M. Bison
M.Bison talks cheerily in a bar.
??When I tempted a girl, there was the man who disturbed.
??I hit him three times and defeated it.??
Ryu
In a match performed in Asia, RYU won.
A village mayor said. ??Marry my daughter.??
RYU was troubled.
Sagat
It is pleasure to fight.
It is happy to win.
Vega’s hat
The Vega fought against Ryu intensely.
He became missing afterwards.
However, he will return.
He is an avenger then.
Zangief
When I walked New York, I caught a thief.
If there are many crimes, I am frightened.
You please revise these for more natural English."
The similarity between Balrog and Chun-Li is not only in the picture but also in the text. In SFIIWW it seems Ryu was the winner of the tournament.
Update (new email by RC):
There are two meanings in “JORI”.
The one is “a sound of the shavers”.
The one is already a sound to force a mustache on another person.
In this case I think that the second opinion is right.
By the way, the shavers is Japanese and says “HIGE SORI”.
