Courtesy of Vulcan422 from gamefaqs.com; new and revised stories for the Street Fighter characters as presented by the 30th Anniversary Collection (has some pretty interesting new bits of info):
Characters in SFV
Akuma
-It is acknowledged that he only managed to put Gouken into a death-like state (or "comatose") with the Raging Demon.
-Despite Gen being severely weakened due to his leukemia, Akuma did enjoy fighting him.
Balrog
-Grew up in poverty, and is the youngest child of his family, hence his greed.
-Trained by getting into fights with other boys in his neighborhood, hence why he fights dirty.
-Did not get banned from pro boxing. His vicious nature resulted in him critically maiming his opponents and landing them in the hospital. Everyone was too scared to fight him, so he couldn’t book money matches anymore after a while.
-Ended up as a casino and bar bouncer after he realized he couldn’t get paid anymore. It was here that Bison recruited him.
Birdie
-Reaffirmed as a former wrestler. He got banned for cheating and his violent attitude.
-Was planning on betraying Bison at one point, confirming his Alpha 2 ending as canon, and lived off of his employ as a grunt for as long as he could. Then F.A.N.G showed up.
-Hates Zangief because of his mohawk, not because he’s a wrestler.
Blanka
-At the age of 10, he went flying to meet his uncle, but Shadaloo’s intervention caused the plane to crash, killing all aboard except him.
Cammy
-Was planted at Delta Red as a spy for Shadaloo initially.
Nash
-Unbeknownst to him, likely until Kolin revealed to him the truth in his story mode, he’s been on Shadaloo’s list for quite a long time. His former commanding officer was a Shadaloo agent and reported to Bison on his activities before reassigning him to try and throw him off the trail.
-Not seen in his story mode, but as Bison knocked him off the waterfall to his death he managed to leave a couple of final clues to Guile over comms: “M. Bison” and “Psycho Drive”.
Chun-Li
-Much like Nash, Shadaloo’s influence even spread to Interpol, and they also deterred her from her pursuit of Bison. She became known as the “black sheep” of Interpol.
Cody
-Once again confirms that Travers is indeed his last name.
-Edi E. framing him for Poison’s crimes is confirmed non-canon. He got into prison of his own free will.
Dhalsim
-His pet elephant, who Balrog killed with the Gigaton Blow, was named Kodal.
Guile
-His family owns a dog named Sabu.
Ibuki
-Reaffirmed as a member of the Glade of Ninjas, who have ties to the Kanzuki family.
M. Bison
-Confirmed that in the past, Bison was a martial artist not unlike Akuma who became infatuated with dark forces. Like Akuma, he killed his own master and turned his fighting style into a corrupted form. He invented Psycho Power by modifying Soul Power to utilize negative emotions, thoughts, and desires.
-Bison trained with one other student, much like Akuma did with Gouken, but their identity is still not known.
R. Mika
-Has wanted to be a pro wrestler since her childhood.
Ryu
-Reaffirmed that he has replaced the Satsui no Hado with the Mu no Ken.
Urien
-Reaffirmed that he wishes to rule the Illuminati his own way. He has no intention of preserving its legacy, and he destroyed a collection of preserved brains which belonged to past leaders of the Illuminati to demonstrate that.
-His experiments on people like Necro and the creation of Eleven (whose parts were used to resurrect Nash) and Twelve stem from his belief in a theory that suggests genetic modification on people to accelerate their healing factor holds the secret to immortality. These experiments have proven almost successful, but there’s a negative side effect that he’s trying to remove: when healed, the user suffers from memory loss.
-Reaffirmed that he is a natural blonde, Caucasian male. His white hair and bronze skin is the result of him activating his powers.
Vega
-Gets his beauty obsession from his mom.
Characters not in SFV
Guy
-Reaffirmed that Guy is an American-born Japanese.
-Contrary to what Zeku’s ending shows, Guy started training under Zeku from a young age, rather than sometime after he failed his college entrance exams. However, it was after he failed those exams that he decides to travel to America to hone his skills as a warrior.
-The events of Final Fight made Guy come to the realization that he needed to modify the Bushinryu style for real combat scenarios. This is how he becomes involved in the plot of Street Fighter.
-Zeku predicted Bison’s arrival and activities, and Guy recalling his master’s words is what puts him into opposition towards Shadaloo.
Hugo
-Confirmed to be a member of the Andore family.
-He came to America to be with his relatives before he was 20 years old. They are all street thugs who joined Mad Gear, and due to his low intelligence wound up in the gang’s service.
Rose
-Reaffirmed as the good half of Bison’s soul.
-It’s finally confirmed what her vanilla SF4 ending means. Bison was not only taking back his remaining power from her, but he was also showing her all of the horrible things he did while in control of her body.
T. Hawk
-Confirmed that he is looking for both Juli and Noembelu.
Yun & Yang
-The two of them have ties to the underworld, and were named by kingpins when they were born. Control over Hong Kong is their inheritance.
