(http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1105) Posted by xin2k on 03:04:2001 09:33 AM: I was just reading the thread on Dan and thought of things that always seemed to elude me in the Street Fighter storyline. 1. Can anybody tell me where the idea of a person named Sheng Long came from or who he is? 2. Is M. Bison/Vega Thai? 3. In the alpha movie, it says that Akuma/Gouki, killed his own master Gotetsu. Did Akuma also kill Ryu's master, Gouken? If not, how did Gouken die? 4. Bison/Vega supposedly killed Chun Li's father, I think. How does Bison and Chun Li's relationship actually go? 5. Can anybody explain to me how Street Fighter 3's story line fits in? What happened to Bison? Where did Gill come from? Cause Sagat returned from 1 to appear in 2, but Bison is nowhere to be found in 3. 6. One last question. Is Oro supposed to be like the end all best fighter in the street fighter universe? I mean he tied up one of his arms to make the fights more fair for the other fighters. What if he used both arms when fighting? What about Akuma? I always thought that he was supposed to be the most powerful in the SF universe. "You can not defeat what you can not touch." Posted by ZhiZi on 03:04:2001 09:40 AM: 1. EGM April fool's joke. I don't remember what issue. 2-6. Give up. Keeping up with the Street Fighter story line (and piecing it together so it makes sense) is about as much of a waste of time as forcing a brick into flight by standing on it and staring really hard. The storyline is beyond screwed up. =) ZhiZi AKA SonOfShao Posted by on 03:04:2001 10:00 AM: quote: Originally posted by xin2k: I was just reading the thread on Dan and thought of things that always seemed to elude me in the Street Fighter storyline. 1.

I always thought that he was supposed to be the most powerful in the SF universe. "You can not defeat what you can not touch." 1)At one time, people thought Shen Long was Ryu's master because of his quote in SF2...it was actually a mistake and it should have said "You must beat my Shoryuken before you can stand a chance" or something like that....and yeah, Zhizi is right about the EGM joke. 2)Bison is an entity that finds worthy hosts to inhabit...he has no nationality. He is a creature of pure energy...using what he calls psycho power. His powers have somehow become too strong for his current body to contain....thus, he searches for Ryu...the one who may have the necessary essence and untapped power...to inhabit his body and use the combined force of the Shoto/Psycho power for his own evil purposes. 3)Goutetsu was the teacher of both Gouki (Akuma) and his brother Gouken. When Gouki unlocked the mystical arts of the dark shoto and began to use them, Goutetsu was his first victim...followed by Gouken. 4)Bison killed her father.....she wants revenge. Plain and simple. 5)It's a new storyline...in which a secret society is carrying out the will of Bison using advanced engineering and gene splicing to create a vast army of creatures. Many of Shadowlaw's former employess now work for this society...including one of Bison's head scientists (Same one found in SF2: The Animated Movie....he is in Necro's background in the first SF3). Creatures such as Gill and Urien were once believed to have been created by Shadowlaw themselves. They have evolved past that, though...and now have their own goals in mind. 6)Oro only has one arm...and story wise, Ryu is still the strongest...not Akuma. ------------------------------------------------------------ http://kof5.tripod.com/Image7.png Custom Tag ID: "Void of Dark Dreams" Tae Kwon Do...learn the basics! Posted by xin2k on 03:04:2001 10:22 AM: Wow! I didn't expect to get answers so quick. Thanks for the posts. I have actually heard about the EGM thing, but wasn't sure about it. I've never heard the explanation that Bison was like a parasitic entity, but if he is looking for another host, then wouldn't Akuma be a better candidate for his evil purposes? Come to think of it, Akuma is kind of like Darth Vader and Ryu is kind of like Luke Skywalker. Akuma is on the darkside and is trying to lure Ryu into it. Vader killed Obi Wan and Akuma killed Gouken. Hm... awefully similar. How is Rose connected with Bison? Cause I think that Rose knows Bison and she also uses Psycho Power. Rose was in the Alpha movie, but she just comes out of nowhere. There's no background to her appearance in the movie. "You can not defeat what you can not touch."

Akuma lacks the untapped essence of a great power which is harboring in Ryu. Bison uses Psycho Power...and Rose uses Soul Power. They know each other very well due to a mysterious past...and Rose knows it's her destiny to destroy Bison. Their story is much more complicated, though. ------------------------------------------------------------ http://kof5.tripod.com/Image7.png Custom Tag ID: "Void of Dark Dreams" Tae Kwon Do...learn the basics! Posted by Dynamyte2U on 03:04:2001 11:04 AM: 1. Sheng Long is the original name for Gouken, Ken and Ryu's sensei. He was killed by Akuma. 2. M.Bison is not from Thailand. He just fights there in SFII. 3. Akuma killed Goutetsu, AND Gouken. 4. M.Bison killed Chun-Li's father. Chun-Li doesn't really like M.Bison. 5. Street Fighter 3 doesn't have a story....yet. 6. Oro is just cocky. If he used both arms, he would most likely throw punches, in addition to his kicks and headbuts. Akuma is supposed to be a magnified version of Ryu and Ken's good qualities. He's got 100x the determination of Ryu and 100x the fighting spirit of Ken. Dan is a magnification of Ryu and Ken's bad qualities. He's got 100x the stubbornness of Ryu and 100x the arrogance of Ken.

Posted by State of Nature on 03:04:2001 11:35 AM: GeoG2's info is correct, Dynamyte2U has lots of incorrect information. One more thing on Rose: In Vampire Hunter, Donovan is protecting a little girl called Amanda I think. She grows up to be a girl who looks remarkably like rose, she appears in his ending. So Rose may have a Darkstalker connection. Posted by Dynamyte2U on 03:04:2001 11:45 AM: I know. I made most of it up. Pretty good tho, hey?

Posted by LOLO on 03:04:2001 12:00 PM: lol... hehehe... i guess the reason y Bison and Vega are not included in SF3 is becoz they are just too weak~~ Ryu have already beaten them in other fighting series and it will be mean to keep them in the game as losers~~ the only character that stays in the game is Ken and Akuma~~ since Capcom thinks that they are the only 2 characters that can compete w/ Ryu~~ but seriously Ken is turning weak for 3rd Strike~~ and Ryu is already getting to the same level as Akuma~~ so dunno what Capcom will do for future SF4~~ Gill is first introduced in SF3~~ he acts like a supreme god~~ and trying to change the world to before more idealistic w/ his mighty power~~ so he's trying to control every ppl in SF3~~ http://members.home.net/lolo603/BadBadtzMaru.gif Posted by LOLO on 03:04:2001 12:02 PM: and seriously~~ is Dan really Akuma's son?? personally think Akuma is just too ugly to be anyone's father~~ i have nvr heard anythg about Akuma getting married~~ Ryu marry Sakura, Ken marry Eliza, but they only focus on that Akuma keeps train himself and get way stronger in the next version of SF~~ http://members.home.net/lolo603/BadBadtzMaru.gif Posted by TRuNK$ on 03:04:2001 12:34 PM: [QUOTE] 6)Oro only has one arm...and story wise, Ryu is still the strongest...not Akuma. [\QUOTE] oro does have two arms but he magically sealed one of his arms away. He felt it would be unfair to the other fighters if he fought at full strength http://www.peyros.com/tags/TrunksTag.gif Posted by G_Cube on 03:04:2001 02:59 PM: Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but Sheng Long sounds remarkably like Jackie Chan's chinese stage name. http://www2.nintendo.com/spaceworld/nintendo.gif lead, others struggle to follow...

He isn't. Wether CYBER-Akuma is the father of Dan is the real question...wait, who's CA's pilot? quote: i have nvr heard anythg about Akuma getting married You don't need to be married to be a father. quote: Ryu marry Sakura Now that's just sick. quote: Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but Sheng Long sounds remarkably like Jackie Chan's chinese stage name. I think it is... ------------------------ http://joshwedge.homestead.com/files/bionicpin.jpg The bowling pin that made Hitler's head explode. Posted by SilverGear on 03:05:2001 12:22 AM: 1. It was an EGM April fools joke that they got from Ryu's SF2 quote which is "You must defeat Shen Long to stand a chance" 2. His current form is un-known. M. Bison really has no nationality since he is really just a form of Energy that goes from Body to Body. 3. Gouken (who is Akuma's brother) also dies at the hands of Akuma. 4. Simple....Chun-li hunts down M. Bison to get revenge by shutting him and his organization down forever. She also plans on avenging her fathers death but I have no clue how. 5. M. Bison supposedly met his demise in SSF2T at the hands of Akuma as well. Street Fighter 3 is nothing but a fresh new start. Th origin of Gill is unknown and where he stands is pretty foggy as well. It seems he has been sent to lead the human race onto the the next HIGHER form of life but his methods are harse in doing so. 6. Oro is I guess the strongest. He has one arm taken away with the use of his Earth Magic. I do know that Oro can use both arms in 3rd Strike FOR A SECOND by having his Super Meter on MAX and performing the Super Motion and pressing BOTH punch buttons...The result from this is nasty and does insane damage give it a try some time. Now in the story line Oro can match Akuma's power so maybe he is stronger who knows. And Ryu will EVENTUALLY be the strongest...he's not there yet. Hope that helps http://silvergear.homestead.com/files/Fallen_Warrior.jpg Posted by SilverGear on 03:05:2001 12:40 AM: Hey GeoG2 you say Oro doesn't have two arms right? Well check this out..... If you have 3rd Strike for the Dreamcast I suggest you go into training mode (or Arcade Mode but Training is easier) and do the following- Pick Oro and select his Kishin Riki Super Art. Then go the Training Options and Put Super Meter on MAX. The minute it starts let the Super Meter fill once it's full AUTOMATICALLY perform his Super Art BUT hit 2 Punch buttons instead of one....Then as he jumps at your training dummy QUICKLY hit pause and you'll see his second arm. You can do this at the arcade as well if you don't have a Dreamcast but with-out the Pause option....But you should be able to see his second arm if you have a fast enough eye And after you do see it and still claim that Oro has one arm.....well then you need glasses Posted by xin2k on 03:05:2001 12:52 AM: Sheng long does sound like Jackie Chan's stage name, but you have to say it with a different tone on the first word than with sheng long ken (shoryuken in chinese, I think). As for that Oro having 2 arms thing... I think I read it somewhere when SF3 first came out. I could be wrong about it though. I've never heard of him using Earth Magic to seal his arm though. I used to think that Alex was the main character of SF3, but I guess Ryu has always been the center of SF and always will be. Ryu did something that Akuma couldn't do - he beat his darkside. I think that alone proves that he has risen above Akuma. Can anybody tell me how Blanka got to be friends with Dan? and how Blanka became green? What's his real nationality supposed to be? "You can not defeat what you can not touch."

I do it all the time with Oro. As his story goes, he once was a great fighter who would be considerably full of himself at times. He didn't take his last opponent seriously, and ended up losing his arm....along with his pride being torn to shreds. He became a hermit to escape the fighting life...as a way to forget the past. His powers have become so powerful that he CAN create a new arm out of his own energy...BUT...he still only has one arm.

Posted by Million on 03:05:2001 02:49 AM: xin2k, Blanka is supposedly from Brazil, and he is green because of some kind of lightning storm accident that mutated him somehow, I think. That's what I remember from back in the days of plain SF2. My memory of that is hazy at best....anyone else? Do I have that origin right?

Posted by xin2k on 03:09:2001 07:39 PM: I don't know about that Blanka thing. I thought that he crashed in Brazil and was stranded there as a baby or something like that. What do the people speak in Brazil? Is it Portuguese or Spanish? I guess Blanka can speak that too. I guess that's it for SF. Thanks for all the posts. "You can not defeat what you can not touch." Posted by Deviant on 03:10:2001 03:08 AM: when blanka was a baby, his plane got struck by lightning, and crashed over brazil, and he was never found. i don't think they reveal where he was originally from, it may have been brazil anyways, but i would consider him a 'naturalized' brazilian. and i believe his name is jimmy, if i remember his sf2 ending properly. he gets reunited with his mom.... how touching anyways, the lightning is what cause his skin to be green, and hair orange, and his ability to channel and generate electricity.. his animals instincts come from the jungles of brazil, where he learned to roll into a ball from roly-poly bugs. lol, that last part i made up, but the rest is true Deviant Posted by on 03:10:2001 03:38 AM: quote: Originally posted by Deviant: when blanka was a baby, his plane got struck by lightning, and crashed over brazil, and he was never found. i don't think they reveal where he was originally from, it may have been brazil anyways, but i would consider him a 'naturalized' brazilian. and i believe his name is jimmy, if i remember his sf2 ending properly. he gets reunited with his mom.... how touching anyways, the lightning is what cause his skin to be green, and hair orange, and his ability to channel and generate electricity.. his animals instincts come from the jungles of brazil, where he learned to roll into a ball from roly-poly bugs. lol, that last part i made up, but the rest is true Deviant Actually...he was in a cargo plane at the time. The lightning struck the plane, and barrels of some type of chemical began to pour all over...and ended up getting on Jimmy. While the plane was going down...the pilot attached a parachute to Jimmy (who was 12, at the time) and he ended up being the only survivor of that accident. He hid in caves in the forest he crashed in....while mutating into the beast we all know and love. For some reason or another, he began to have flashbacks of who he was...so he goes out to search for answers...and of course, eventually became a street fighter.

Yes...he did get shocked by electric eels...and this caused a strange side effect, since his biology had already been altered thanks to the chemical.

Tae Kwon Do...learn the basics! Posted by Shock Mega X on 03:10:2001 06:14 AM: Pffft...amatuers... To address the original questions: 1. Like someone said, there was a quote Ryu had saying "you must defeat Shen Long" or something. If I remember correctly, Shen Long was another name for the Shoryuken. I could be wrong (hey, there's always a first time). 2. Bison is some guy who has obtained spectacular power, I don't know where he is supposed to be from, but his Shadowloo base is in Thailand. 3. Never saw it. Next. 4. Bison killed Chun's father for some unknown reason, so obviously she's pissed. She's also a member of Interpol or something and is pursuing Bison's Shadowloo ring. There's also something about a drug cartel. 5. Not sure, SF3 takes place a few years later. Someelse already explained it. 6. Maybe Oro is the most powerful. Akuma has more immediate power than Ryu, and Ryu has all this untapped power which is brung out in Evil Ryu. Akuma became super powerful after he used the Raging Demon (Shun Goku Satsu?) for the first time, because it was some super-powerful forbidden move that can kill you are something like that. As for the other stuff: Oro has 2 arms. His other arm is in that sleeve if I remember correctly. In his ending, he talks about how Ryu is growing more powerful, and how someday when fighting him Oro will "need to use both arms". I remember that from the 3S ending. So there.

"Sheng Long" first appeared in one of Ryu's quotes in World Warrior. "You must defeat sheng long to stand a chance". Sheng long meaning rising dragon, probably in reference to the dragon punch. EGM came out with a one-page article as an April Fool's contest (spot the phony article). Basically, they made a screen shot showing Ryu facing a old guy doing a dragon punch (BTW, the old guy looks suspiciously like SFZ Ken -- long hair with band halfway though). In the article, you had to get all perfects, no losses, then in Bison's stage you have to get 10 perfect draw games (possible, since World Warrior goes up to round 10). Sheng Long then pops up, beats up Bison, then you get to fight him. An SF legend is born... 2. Probably not. There's no "official" storyline on this. 3. Yes 4. This storyline comes from way back to World Warrior. Not that in SFZ3 there are insinuations that he's simply "missing". 5. It doesn't 6. Oro thinks he's the most powerful fighter. It's probably Ryu, though. and... Blanka became Dan's friend in the manga "Sakura Ganbaru". It seems that Blanka rescued Dan in the Amazon. A translation of the Manga by Tean Red Herring is probably still somewhere in AGSF2. I'll post it if anyones interested. Posted by the one on 03:10:2001 04:45 PM: I think he's got it already.

Would you be able to email that translation to me? I don't have a newsgroup reader / access to a newsgroup server. GeoG2: where are you getting the information that Oro has only one arm? Every piece of information I've read about him suggests that he has two and sealed one away. But what is funny is when he switches sides in 3S (don't remember about the other SF3 games) his other arm becomes active.

Funny.....cause every piece of info I've read says he only has one....and can recreate the other at will. Do we HAVE to continue with this argument? You guys can believe what you want to believe...I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. ------------------------------------------------------------ http://kof5.tripod.com/Image9.png Custom Tag ID: "Void of Dark Dreams II" Tae Kwon Do...learn the basics! Posted by Galactic on 03:12:2001 04:55 AM: Well, in the first SF2 anime movie, they tell one story, In the SF@ TV anime series, they tell a different story, and in the SF@ movie, they tell yet another completely different one. If there is a SF3 Movie, they'll probably once again tell a completely different story. In the Street Fighter Movie with Van Damme in it (Horrible piece o crap movie that should NOT have been made, spawned a disgusting game as well...) they tell yet another story, with Guile as the main character... The Street Fighter storylines are so varied and contradict each other so many times, (Like in SF2 the Anime movie, you actually see how M.Bison kills Chun-Li's father in a flashback, by throwing him down a building, while in SF@ the anime TV series, you see Chun-Li's father, and he looks nothing at all like the person M.Bison killed in SF2. Also, Sagat is actually portrayed as a good guy in SF@ series, and he befriends Ryu in prison. In the @ series, Ryu learns his Hadoken and Ken learns his flaming Shoryken by entering a mystical cave that Dhalsim shows them, while in the 2 Movie, they both had the Hadoken under the same master, Gouken.) you practically have to make up a new parallel universe each time you make a new game to keep up with the ever-changing storylines.... Especially in the 3 series, as there is practically no story to speak of anyway... BTW, for anyone who saw the SF2 Anime movie, an interesting part was how Ken healed his broken leg and other really bad injuries by standing in that stance while the blue flames healed him... Wonder why he never got that move in any of the games... Also, if you want to guess at the strongest characters in the SF universe, you might put Dhalsim up there, since when he fought E.Honda he only lost because Ryu's chi interupted him. And in the @ TV series, Dhalsim seemed to be much more powerful and faster than both Ryu and Ken put together... Anyway, don't sweat the storylines too much. You'll never be able to have one consistent story anyway. ^_-; Posted by xin2k on 03:12:2001 11:54 AM: Galactic: In the SF2 anime, I always thought that Ken was just trying to focus his energy to regain control of his body, but I could be wrong. Cause he was under Bison's mind control. Well, Ken did get thrown really far away, but just look at what happened to Blanka - he got 360 piledrived into the floor and he still bounced back up to beat Zangief! The story is what makes the game interesting. Oh, one my friends told me that in the Chinese alpha comics, Rose is supposedly the strongest. It's because she uses 'psychic power' and can read the other fighters' minds or something like that. If this were true, I'd think she would have a hard time reading Akuma's, Bison's, or Dhalsim's minds. "You can not defeat what you can not touch."

It's "Soul Power" actually.....and Dhalsim can read minds as well. ------------------------------------------------------------ http://kof5.tripod.com/Image9.png Custom Tag ID: "Void of Dark Dreams II" Tae Kwon Do...learn the basics!

Well from what Galactic saw, Ken had a broken leg and some serious internal injuries, as Bison performed the move on him that he was about to use to kill Guile until he decided he was amused with Guile... And whatever Ken did, it somehow healed his broken leg... ^_-; All times are GMT. The time now is 04:16 AM.
