so Ryu’s a “continual pursuer”, right?
almost gives me an idea for a new fanfic.
All of it, or certain parts?
I thought that Shun Goku Satsu was not really forbidden. That was just something Capcom of the U.S.A created?
@vasili10: mainly this part:
"who piles on his drills daily. His life condition and might is in attracting numerous fighting stylists."
But i got the general idea though.
Dunno what this meant either:
"Representative of a syndicate in America"
Translated in french for my site to what i believe is correct 
(not saying your translation isn’t, just that as i didn’t understand everything i tried my best :D)
Not quite. Saiki had said it was not forbidden (thus the notion that it was Capcom USA’s incorrect assumption) because he stated that Goutetsu taught his disciples the SGS as well as everything else, which I’ve never found to be true.
first one- in other words, everyday he trains by increasing his “workout load”, more repetitions as one example if you will, he keeps training each day, harder than the day before. His life’s purpose and strength that keeps him going is to draw fighters to him, who’ll push their limits as well as his, he makes them do their best, and he makes himself do his best as he fights them.
second one- When people see Ken, they also see a member of the Masters conglomerate, a foundation headed by one of the USA’s richest and most influential families.
Alright 
That’s about what i understood for the first part…
Thanks for your explanations, it’ll make my translation smoother ^^ and thanks for translating that fast too
(should definitely finish the english translator on his website argh)
Interesting vasili, if it was infact forbidden and feared to used. Then Gouki must have learned the technique somehow, makes you wonder how?
So, Bison originally went after Ryu to feed his fighting appetite and use him as an amplifier for Psycho energy?! I guess Zero 3 changed it too Bison wanting his body to use.
About Gen, you guy’s speculated that he lost to Retsu during the first Street Fighter tournament. Is it possible he dropped out due to his sickness only to find out that it was leukemia during Zero 2?
What year was Mel born? This should tell us when the game happens.
My guess is secret scrolls locked away.
Mel is 3 years old in SF3 double impact which means he was born in 1995.
Gouki or anyone else learns the SGS by completely submitting to SnH; it’s more of a mindset thing, not a rubric that can be practiced and refined. The “sealing” of it refers to restraining yourself from letting SnH entirely consume you. This is why the move is only Gouki’s and not his master’s (could manipulate SnH so well he could consciously turn it on and off like a switch) nor his brother’s (abstained from SnH from the start).
Vega first went after Ryu because he finally saw someone with the potential to face him in anger and hatred (the two primary psycho power amplifying emotions), instead of fear like all the past fighters he kidnapped. Yeah by Zero 3 Vega realizes that even his body has a limited psycho power carrying capacity as well as the drawbacks of the psycho drive, so he starts considering alternate bodies including Ryu’s for sheer power potential, even though the most ideal candidates would be Cammy (same DNA) & Rose (same soul).
It’s quite possible.
See Sagatryu’s post. Currently 1995.
Not quite. See above.
If MAKOTO 16 during TS then see wouldn’t have been born in 1980
Makoto
1995 ( 15)
1996 ( 16)
1997 ( 17)
1998 ( 18)
1999 ( 19)
edit in order for Makoto to be 16 during 3s she would have to born in 1982 or 1983.
re: SFIV timeline
Ergo, the likely time period of this game is 1994, or one year after [S]SF2[X].
I’m calling it here: SFIV is SF2’s epilogue, the same way that 3S is 2I’s epilogue. No tournament. There may or may not be one last boss character for everybody, if there is, it’ll be like Gill in 3S, where you just have to face him to get the ending, not that everyone fights him. Otherwise, it’ll be like A2/2I, where everyone will have their own last boss.
EDIT:
Oh and apparently my rep went back to positive from some other guys through a couple posts I made defending SFIV in the “How many breaks are we going to give this game” thread.
Crimson Viper might very well be the final boss; the style and context of her profile strikingly resembles what was Vega’s when he was introduced in SF2. My hopes (since she’s stated to be an agent) include her being a link to either Gill’s organization (due to her flame + electric abilities and Kolin looks) or (more reluctantly) Shadoloo, and not a one-shot easily-dealt-with villain like say the Satin Hammer from the SF animated series.
SF4 can not happen in Jaunary 1994, Febuary 1994 or march 1994 since Eliza is Pergent and Mel was born in 1995.
the likey monthes that SF4 happens in are
April, May,June, July, Augest, Stepmember, November and December
edit: pregency last up to 9 months and so many weeks
There’s a rumor at fightersgeneration that Viper is Remy’s mother. I don’t recall anyone saying that.
she got rumors already?
heh, well i could care less. she’s sexy as hell and i want to see more screens of her.
I think her design would much better suit the King of Fighters series than SF.
Hmm i’m waiting for ingame footage to decide if she fits or not…
After all, vega(m.bison) hasn’t really a fighter outfit but still fits well in the games.
Doesn’t the fact that Ono removes obsolete elements, such as the bikes in China, proof that he considers it to take place in a timeless or always-up-to-date universe instead of a specific year like 1994? This fits to the general Japanese idea of giving more importance to how the whole thing feels and how the characters are represented than to specific dates and events, besides the cruitial ones (characters killed, scars and so on). I think this is also what was meant by each game happens in its own universe. If he wanted it to happen in 1994 he would do the opposite and put in things typical for the time.
It’s more important to “include as many characters from the original cast as possible” than to make the story logical, just like in Z3.
