Why? Because Chun appeared in SF3?
Actually, that’s a valid reason.
If Guile re-appears in SF4, then no doubt he’ll get the edge over her.
What would Guile be doing in sf4?
Well I don’t know about that.
Urien in 3s is more powerful then Bison in SSF2T.
Granted Chunli didn’t beat Urien but I think she’s more powerful then Guile is.
Nothing. No more Bison, Guile has no more reason to fight. They only thing I could possibly see is maybe something happening to Eliza and he comes back to help. But that’s a stretch. So more than likely he wouldn’t be in it. But even more likely, there won’t be one for him to be in.
And why is that?
You know Eliza’s Ken’s wife and not Guile’s right? Just thought I’d point out that error. 
Yeah…But they are brothers in law.
Doh!
I meant to say it’s ‘My opinion but Urien is more powerful then Bison in SSF2T’.
I’m basing that on the fact that Bison when he re-unites with Rose is weaker then Bison in his pure ‘evil’ form.
Well if something happens to Eliza, I can see Guile un-retiring and looking for her, it’s his sister in law after all.
How can Ken and Guile be brothers in law? If they were, Guile’s wife would have to be Ken’s sister, or vice versa. The fact that their wives are blood related doesn’t implicate this.
I said it was long shot…:lol:
Wasnt Gen terminally ill in SFA3, and only wished for a death match with The Master of Fists aka Akuma/Gouki?
Im not sure about the time SFA3 took place, and how long after SF3 took place, but im sure Gen would be dead by SF3 if his illness was as terminal as stated in the SFA series storyline.
If that holds any truth, then I dont belive Gen would appeare in SF3 in any other way than just as a memory brought by Yun and Yang as their guardian/mentor.
Just a thought.
Ummm, that’s what I was implying.
My mistake then, I guess I missunderstood the post, my appologies.
But while we’re on the Gen subject again, does anyone know what was his illness?
His illness was leukemia ^^
Julia (Guile’s wife) and Eliza are sisters.
And what would make Guile’s return in SF4 unjustifiable?
Chun-li has no reason to return in SF3 but she did.
Guile still has the chance of returning just like Chunli. After SF2, Guile quit the army and promised his family he’d stay away from fighting, and Chunli quit the ICPO and adopted up a bunch of kids. Both returing from the SF scene.
Chunli returned to the SF scene bcuz one of her kids was kidnapped so if Julia or/and Kris get kidnapped, I’m pretty sure Guile will be back.
Although I personally doubt he’ll return for SF4. Story-wise he still has the possibility but I doubt it…
Well let’s see Eliza and Julia are sisters so if anything happens to one, I’d assume that both Guile and Ken would become involved.
Guile COULD re-appear in an in-between game set between SF3:DI and SSF2T easily enough. He could be investigating Akuma for example.
Ooo, Chun-Li quit the ICPO after Street Fighter 2? I was wondering about that. Wasn’t sure if she was going after Urien as a detective or on her own or not. 
Didn’t know for sure whether or not Guile quit the army, either, now that I think about it.
Theretically, Capcom could bring any character back. It really isn’t THAT hard to come up with a new storyline reason for that character to return (see: Chun-Li). But… for the most part, Capcom doesn’t even WANT to, it seems (Chun-Li probably got in mostly because… well, Chun-Li probably has one of the biggest fanbases of all Street Fighter characters)
I just remembered something. Did Capcom make any statements on Chun-Li’s cameo appearance in Final Fight 2, like why she happened to be at that food stand when Carlos, Maki or Haggar strolled down the street beating up Mad Gear thugs?
I know it was probably just an easter egg appearance, but I think it’d be cool if there was a reason for it so that she could know about Maki or one of the other two. But since she was still a detective at the time, they’d probably have to think of a good reason why Chun-Li chose to just sit there and not lend a hand in the fights. 
I mean come on. There is perfect reason for the SF2 cast (the fab 4 in particular. Or fab 5 if you’ll add Zangief) to return.
Why?
Because the characters in SF3 are so shallow, anyone from SF2 would have a higher chances of returning. Heck, even SFA characters would be put into more consideration than the SF3 cast.
Let’s see here:
-
Capcom at first didn’t put Ryu and Ken into SF3, but they changed their mind.
-
Capcom was trying to popularize Nash by removing Guile from the picture. But then they realized that they couldn’t make him popular to a respectable level. So they brought back Guile.
Whoa…The characters in SF3 are shallow? You’re kidding right. Just because the storyline involves a lot of reading between the lines doesn’t mean the characters are shallow. There’s a very involved storyline. If anyone is shallow It’s Mr. “I Live For The Fight” Ryu. :lol:
-
I would argue contrary to this by saying that Capcom stood to lose tons of money by leaving out two of the most popular 3 characters (from the SFII series) in SF3. Whatever genuis decided to leave them out was probably fired after everyone came to their senses and realized how stupid of an idea that was. And that does NOT include Guile. I’m reffering to Ryu, Ken, and Chun Li. When I say popular I mean fan base, not how many people actually pick them and use them seriously.
-
Not the case. Whatever games Guile was left out of, there was a significant reason. Capcom had no intention of making Charlie/Nash more popular than Guile because he was already dead by the time of SFII. That is also why Gule is sad on A3, Capcom made him that way on purpose to show that Charlie (despite what most Guile fans want to believe) was better than Guile.
But speaking of Zangief, how does he get involved in the Alpha games. What’s his purpose for being there?
