It's official, Street Fighter and Rival Schools are confirmed to be a part of the same universe:



Same is true for Final Fight, btw.

Cody, Guy, Poison, Hugo, Rolento, and Sodom, all come from the Final Fight story and they are even some references to the events in FF (granted, FF was originally concieved as a direct sequel to the first SF game, but still).

EDIT: i got the screenshot from r/streetfighter, btw.

Not surprising, considering Sakura appeared in Rival Schools.

Not surprising, considering Sakura appeared in Rival Schools.

To be fair, Sakura in RS has a different blood type (which is a defining feature of characters in Japanese media), so it's not that obvious.

Besides, just because a character makes a guest appaereance in another game doens't mean they are placed in the same universe. Rash (Battletoads), The Arbiter (Halo) and General RAAM (Gears of War) are guest characters in Killer Instinct, does that mean that the four franchises take place in the same universe? Of course NOT. The fact they are called GUEST characters should be dead giveaway.

So i tried to access to SRK forums in search for the latest translations for the SF profiles and...i can't, if you enter by "normal" means then nothing appears..like nothing, not a sigle thread, anything. However if you enter by going to a specific link to a specific thread, a message saying something like "you need to open an account" appears.

Does this happens everywhere or it just me?

I can check in a little while if you give me a link.

Unless I need to sign up, I'm coming across the same issue.

Really? What a shame, i really enjoyed reading their disscussions regarding the SF lore, they were really passionate about it.
And as for the SF profiles, i heard that EventHubs it's translating them too, so we just have to wait and see.

Today's SF profiles are the Dolls/Twin sisters Xiayu and Jianyu (September and October, respectively), the translation was provided by Nicholas "MajinTenshinhan" Taylor from EventHubs:

[spoiler=Xiayu's profile] 
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130006.html

Introduction

Today, we're introducing another one of the Dolls.

She's a nunchuk master. She has a bit of a special uniform compared to the other dolls, wearing a chinese-style dress adorned with a light blue outline.

Basic info

Name: Xiayu
Height: 165cm
Weight: 53kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: 10th of September
Country of origin: China
Likes: Spicy things, steamed meat dumplings, kung fu movies
Dislikes: People who talk ill of others

Profile

She uses classical Chinese opera makeup to scare her opponents. Since we're introducing her, let's show her regular face as well!

She's kind to her allies, but shows no mercy to her foes. Personalitywise, she's normally calm and composed, but when it comes to helping her friends she can get really heated.

To defeat her enemies, she shies away from nothing, including surprise attacks and trickery.

She is very close with Jianyu. They're twin sisters.

Introduction

Here's another Doll introduction. She's an expert staff wielder!

She has a bit of a special uniform compared to the other dolls, with a small chinese-style dress which is easy to move in, and an orange line as an outline.


Basic info

Name: Jianyu[/font]

Height: 165cm[/font]

Weight: 53kg[/font]

Blood type: B[/font]

Birthday: 10th of September[/font]

Country of origin: China[/font]

Likes: Spicy things, gyoza, ordering things off the internet[/font]

Dislikes: Tidying up, putting things in order[/font]


Profile

She wears her hair in buns and braids. 

Although she likes spicy things, they often upset her stomach. 

She dislikes doing menial tasks, and avoids doing things she finds pointless. She's something of a lazy person, and doesn't really listen to orders.

She's a pretty moody person, and somewhat egotistical. But her combat sense is superb!

She's very close with her twin sister Xiayu.

Nightmare Geese Howard DLC costume revealed in new King of Fighters 14 trailer:

Beyond sick costume, really like how his voice is actually different! Only thing that would makes this better if he also gets his AOF 2/Neo Wave costume.

This guy might've piqued your interest, no?

He's the youngster who was working together with Balrog. He's got quite the mysterious aura about him.

Basic info

[spoiler=Abel's profile]
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-100915.html

Introduction

The soldier working against Shadaloo! Abel!

I ran into him just last week, so he's no stranger to me!

My stomach still hurts!

Basic info

Name: Abel
Height: 198cm
Weight: 85kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: 5th of November
Country of origin: France
Likes: Dogs, bears
Dislikes: Oysters

Profile

Abel was wounded during an infiltration mission. He is resting at the Kanzuki estate.

He fights with mixed martial arts fitting of someone with army training. He might seem uncaring at first glance, but it's not that he dislikes people, he's simply a person who is a bit too serious, and courteous to a careful degree.

He's a person of special interest due to his involvement with bringing down S.I.N, a company related to ours, in the last game.

He's a warrior who was originally born to be a replacement body for master Bison.

Rumor has it he was disposed of due to a number of inconveniences...

Hmm! I recently saw a Shadaloo soldier that looked a lot like him, too!

Hmm, I guess some people just look really alike... When he got stuck in the elevator door he yelled "KARADA GAAAA" (Abel's death cry from Street Fighter 4)
