"But were do they find all this information?"

To quote a post from Bakfromon:

Quote:
The scans that @Doctrine Dark are providing are from All About Capcom 1987- 2000.

The scans @Eternal provided were pulled from All About Street Fighter Zero 3.

I provided the scans from All About Street Fighter EX, originally posted by @Sano on the Warriors Fate thread. These were never translated directly by anyone on the site to my knowledge.

Last but not least @DRW provided the scans from the Street Fighter 2 Complete File.

Usually I just shorten the names into acronyms.
None of these books are available in English, and although a lot of the general info may have been covered in some way shape or form, a majority of the information has either been lost to memory or yet to be uncovered (in English).

• Gen and Gouken being robots or zombies in SF4 because Vasili could not accept they were alive.
  
• Shun Goku Satsu (Raging Demon/Flash Prison Murder) literally bringing the opponent to hell, as both old and new sources implie that Akuma's quotes regarding this move were just some poetic interpretations of a brutal beatdown (see the Critical Art animation in SF5).
  
• Whether Akuma fought Bison in SF2 or not. Also I don't know if you have read about this, but it appears that Capcom might have [recently?] fused the stories of SFA3 and SF2 into one and this is obviously not discussed in the old guide because retcons don't exist in Vasili's mind.
  
• The cherry on the top, however, was the refusal to give Charlie Nash's full name the slightest credit even though it appeared ingame in SF4.
  

• More CFN profiles
  
• Season 2 of SFV
  
• Injustice 2 being released
  
• A new "Street Fighter" EX game being announced
  
• TEKKEN 7 getting a release on consoles
  
• Dragon Ball FighterZ being announced

I find it interesting how the Artificial Humans are refered to as "Androids" even on Japanese material. But then again, they use names such as "Krylin" and "Ginew" so...

• Street Fighter 1=Ryu's global journey which ends with the tournament hosted by Sagat.
  
• Street Fighter Alpha=Ryu learning about the SnH, Nash fighting against Shadaloo, Bison recruiting, etc.
  
• Street Fighter 2=World Warrior tournament hosted by Bison.
  
• Street Fighter 4=S.I.N. Tournament hosted by Seth.
  
• Street Fighter V=Prologue stories + A Shadow Falls.
  
• Street Fighter 3=World Tournament hosted by Gill. Third Strike's story is similar to Alpha, with everyone doing their own thing.

As someone who has been lurking on the Street Fighter story thread since it's humble beginnings back in December of 2015, it's a shame to see it go. 740+ pages worth of discussion and translations... gone to waste *sigh* . Hopefully they can manage to get an archive, there's a lot of valuable info not just in that thread, but in SRK as a whole.

How the story crew is reacting to this announcement (I now this isn't exactly the best time to talk about this BUT I wouldn't mind if at least three story menbers like Shockdingo, Bakfromon and/or Miðgarðsorm migrated over here. This place needs some fresh meat)
