First Game

Shouldn't there be some more mention about the first game, hiow it worked, which characters that could be played etc., I think it, for historical reasons, deserves its own article. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.226.122.159 (talk • contribs)

Where to place an action figure section?

There have beens everal action figures based on the Street Fighter series, like the recent SOTA Street Fighter line-up. Where to include this? In a new section or add it to "Adaptations for other media". Thanks for the "talk". ShotokanTuning 10:13, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Original Street Fighter character victory statements.

In Street Fighter 1, the winning & losing screen for Ryu was the same statement spoken & written on the screen, with winning being "What strength!! but don't forget there are many guys like you all over the world." and losing being "You've got a lot to learn before you beat me, try again kiddo!"

However, before the screen after the fight, the characters would proclaim victory with audio each in a unique way, just like in the victory screen of the later Street Fighter games. Here is what I could make out myself;

Ryu; "All Right!"
Joe; "Whose your daddy?"
Mike; "I'm the champion!"
Retsu; "Go to heaven."
Geki; "(laughter)"
Birdie; "Another win!"
Eagle; "And that's that, (laughter)"
Lee; "???"
Gen; "You are weak, go(?)"
Adon; "You are no match for me."
Sagat; "(laughter)"

I'm fairly confident about all of them except for the two fighters from China. Alternately, there is some audio for certain moves, like Sagats fireball, which in SFII was "Tiger!" though in SFI almost sounds like "Fire!", with the early audio voice emulation it is difficult to tell, as all of Ryu's moves are different (in English) as in "Fireball" instead of "Hadouken" in SFII, and "Hurricane Kick" etc.

This should maybe be incorporated into the article somehow, or in the individual characters articles, once we can be certain of what the two characters from China say. Moved to Street Fighter (video game) 67.5.194.246 03:56, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Is it major info that couldn't be found by going to a FAQ or something? I mean, do you go to an encyclopedia looking up minor quotes from characters in a minor video game? --Golbez 04:27, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

It's my belief that a wiki encyclopedia should serve as a perfected FAQ (not a walkthrough however). 67.5.212.255 01:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

It's possible to place the info at Street Fighter (video game) when complete and verified, or place at the unique characters individually. Another way could be placing a link at Street Fighter (video game) to a FAQ containing such info, if available.ShotokanTuning 09:24, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

There are no FAQs containing such information, though I was unaware of a separate article for the original SF, I'll add my above to the discussion entry there. 67.5.212.255 01:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Street Fighter series page

Shouldn't this be at Street Fighter series or Street Fighter (series), with Street Fighter being a disambiguation page for the films and so on? It's not a major problem, but it would be good to be consistent with Sonic the Hedgehog series, Metal Gear (series) and The Legend of Zelda series. --Nick R 14:19, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Only one picture?

In the entire article? Looks kinda weird. Anyone willing to go through with screenshots of non-emulatable games? Lockeownzj00 21:49, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

linux

Are Linux screenshots necessary?

No. Just looks like some cheap advertising to me. Even the word Linux has been highlighted in italics. Nerval, I don't mind the one screenshot but I don't approve of you pasting advertisements for your operating system everywhere. Besides, it's just an emu. At least remove the mention of 'linux' in every single caption. These are emulations of arcade games. Not linux. I don't want to offend you but your intention is obvious. --Mysterious Bob 16:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

The screenshots are totally inappropriate, I agree - As for Street Fighter Alpha 3 for example, it's just wrong for a screenshot of a game in "384 x 224"-resolution to be 1280x1024, 728kb in size and to show more of the firefox browser than of the actual game.

Took new ingame screenshots and replaced the old ones. Added two of the three linux-screenshots to the category "Orphaned unfree images" because they're no longer used. Going to remove them next week (tag them for speedy deletion). elias.hc 20:21, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Ahh... it's nice to see that the change has been made. Great screenshots. Thanks. I might add shots for the rest of the games tommorow including SF1. --Mysterious Bob 22:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Ouch I see this late :) I don't mind those screenshots being removed at all, I just took those screenshots under my computer and I'm not sure about copyright issues. I mean, I did use this operating system and that program to get that screenshot; would it be okay if I didn't mention it? If it is, then I should have presented only the picture. Now that there are in half pictures, it's okay though :) Cheers; --Nerval 07:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Ancient one

In super street figher tubo if you play throught the game as M.bison a narative starts about him ruling the world then bison himself seas that not even the ancient one dared to stop him. i was wondering who he was talking about i didnt find it in eny of the articals. I personaly thought it might be oro.

• From Tiamat's Plot Guide:

  Bison refers to an ancient one who didn't dare to challenge him in his SF2 ending. But that was something darn Capcom of USA added in. At any rate, he no longer mentions this ancient one in his SF2 Revival ending.

  Hope that helps. Danny Lilithborne 23:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

DC vs. Street Fighter

I keep hearing that there is a DC vs. Street Fighter in the works. So I put it up here and the site where I got it from but somebody took it down and I'd like to know why. Dark Rain

• 1. because it's a rumor, 2. snk-capcom is hardly a reliable source. JuJube 01:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Now I wouldn't say that that site is "hardly" reliable. They could be telling the truth about something.
  • Snk-capcom is well known for being otaku-friendly and pulling "info" out their proverbial whatsits. If I hear something about in Shoryuken, then maybe I'll look into it. JuJube 05:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

When to use Ansatsuken in Articles

I posted in this article's talk page since it may impact several SF articles. Currently, the Ansatsuken page is set for a massive overhaul to meet with Wikipedia standards. One of the main complaints was that sources were necessary so that the information in the article could be verified. We're working on that. The other complaint, which elicited the delete notice in the first place was how the term "Ansatsuken" was used. The question will impact how other information within the "shotos" articles will be presented, especially those who linked and make references to that page. For those who are not aware of the issue, "Ansatsuken" is not the real name of the shotos' fighting style. Capcom of Japan has never given it a name. The term "Ansatsuken" refers to any hard style of martial art that focuses on killing an opponent. People in other articles use the word as gospel for the official name of the "shotos" style. So should we just do away with referring to "ansatsuken" in any of the other articles in preference for an equally generic English name, like "Goutetsu's Martial Art"? It would relieve the problem of properly reffering to the shotos' martial arts in articles without leading readers on into thinking this is the actual martial art's name, or going through the rigmarole of explaining "ansatsuken" to people unfamiliar with the term. Also, could other users reading this put their votes in about the article and whether it should be deleted or suggest some ways to improve it?--BB Mofo 17:04, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that it should be kept as Ansatsuken, only due to the fact that in faqs across the internet the style is reffered to as such, even w/o official statement from Capcom. That said, fans that know enough about the series at least know what someone is reffering to when they say "Ansatsuken". The main thing is there needs to be a clarification informing people that it's not the official name of the style, but rather what it means, and informing them that there was never an officially adopted name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Firestorm117 (talk • contribs) 02:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

Needs a major cleanup!

This article a major cleanup and a HUGE OVERHAUL! Not every single detail about every Street Fighter title needs to mentioned here. That's why each game has an individual article to begin with. Jonny2x4 05:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Went ahead and merge all the info of each game with their specific articles. Now we need to write brief overview of each series. Jonny2x4 22:51, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

I was hoping this would happen. But I think that the "history of fighting games" belongs at Versus fighting game not here. A history of Street Fighter would be appropriate, however. Alpha Omicron 20:52, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Your merge was not very good; You basically removed everything in the article about the actual games. BlueLotas 21:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

It's still a work-in-progress and I'm working on other stuff right now. I'm planning on writing a brief overview of each incarnation of the series Like I said, this is the series article and it's better to provide a brief overview of each game, instead of going too in-depth like the previous revision did.Jonny2x4 19:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Character Page names

I have just gone through a process of removing character's full names from the article titles (see Talk:E. Honda). Please do not move the articles back as this is the correct method, I will get around to doing the same for other character pages from other games (Soul Edge, Samurai Shodown etc) later on. There was no need for extra information in the page titles, as the full names are not the most common names. Mr.bonus 14:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

The full names are not common enough to warrant them to be on the article's title, and even if they were, they're nowhere near as common as the name the characters always go by. How many times have you read Sakura Kasugano in a Capcom game as opposed to just Sakura? Unless you are a hardcore fan of the series you won't even know the character's last names (and even then, simply being a hardcore fan isn't enough, as you have to delve into outside sources to even find these names - just try and find one instance in a Capcom game where Rolento or Sakura’s last names are revealed. People were trying to include extra biograhical information in the article title. Why not have the page titled "Sakura (16 year old girl)"? The pages must be named after the names the characters most often go by in the games. Ken for example, has been officially named Kan Masters 1 time (US translated Alpha 3 introduction story), he has been named just Ken every single time he has appeared (player select, story text, name at top of screen, endings, everywhere - the character is called Ken). Plus the pages will never match if you have half having the only just canon last names visible and pages with just the first names. Mr.bonus 23:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I made a Mediaton Cabal case for this. We should not have move wars over this issue. Danny Lilithborne 23:44, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I have always been frustrated by the page names as well. When the characters are listed on the games or in the instruction booklets they are always just the first names. Ryu, Ken, E.Honda, Cammy - never full names. So why should the articles be titled after a less common name. I have always been a SF fan and even I have never even heard of most of the surnames until I saw them on here, and if I wanted to find them out, I wouldn't expect to read the page title, but the article itself. Lughguy 15:17, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, there are characters whose full names are well-known enough that using them as the main name shouldn't be much of a problem and are in fact preferable over simply having "Character's Name (Title)", like Ken Masters. Then there are character with obscure full names who are only mentioned once in the series and never again. Unless you had that Street Fighter Zero 2 Secret File pamphlet distributed in Japan, there's no way of knowing that Rolento F. Schugerg is the character's full name. Even at that, his backstory in that pamphlet was later contradicted in several ways in the actual games and his full name was never mentioned again. Cammy White only used her full name during the Street Fighter II series (in Alpha, she had no surname) and Yun and Yan's full name are only inferred through the games (but never actually stated). Jonny2x4 16:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, some names are pretty common, but not as common as the name they always go by. Plus, I don't see a problem having it as Ken (Street Fighter), he is known as Ken from Street Fighter. Ken Masters is still a less used name than Ken off of Street Fighter (plus Masters was only invented after a lawsuit with Barbie). And why not have them all match? As you said, Rolento F. Schugerg and Cammy White are too uncommon to name the pages after, so just have them all as the most common names and don't get into whose full names are common enough to name the pages after them. Mr.bonus 16:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I had originally chimed in with my two cents on the matter (arguing the use of full names over single names) but shortly after noticed the mediation link which revealed that the matter had been settled (or was on the verge of reaching a settlement). So my response comes belated, and hence I deleted it. Sorry for the mix up. Fuad Ramses 01:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I actually agree. Most of the pages are just stubs filled with nothing but in-universe crap and unsourced statements of what is and isn't canon. The only characters I could see deserving their own stand-alone articles are the ones from SF2. Jonny2x4 19:12, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Can someone edit the menu bar with the listings of the games to put Street Fighter EX in a seperate section from the main games?

Street Fighter IV Animated Film

Sometimes, a marketing promotion becomes so popular that it gains a life of its own. This has proved to be the case for Street Fighter IV. As part of the promotion for the game, Capcom has been releasing short anime clips that depict what happened to the warriors after Street Fighter II. At the 2008 Tokyo Game Show, producer Yoshinori Ono revealed that the promotional clips have been such a success that a full-length version of the anime is now in production.

According to Ono, the feature-length anime is scheduled to run around 50 to 60 minutes, despite cuts in the script to shorten its length. While the anime is long enough to sell as a product of its own, Ono instead plans to tie its release with Street Fighter IV, though details haven't been decided as of yet.

Should "The Legend of Chun Li" really be counted in the characters section? For one, it's a movie, and the other movies aren't listed there (the movie game is there, but not the actual movie). Shadoman (talk) 12:44, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Can somebody please stop adding Japanese flags to all the characters? Akuma and Gouken have never been confirmed Japanese (Akuma has appeared in Thailand, China, Japan, and his own island in the south Pacific).

Character table extension

I notice the last column of the table reads Total Number of Appearances, and of course this isn't the whole story. How about adding a column before this one, called something like "Further appearances", which would list the number of other non-SF games that they have been in (eg, Capcom Fighting Jam, Fighting Layer, etc). At least about 20 characters would have something in this column... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.254 (talk) 19:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Name translations

It is noted in the article that some boss characters had their names changed when SF2 was released outside of Japan. However, once this has been mentioned, and a note made that Worldwide names are used in the article, the characters do not then need to be called by a double name whenever they are mentioned. For examples of wiki best practice, see that we do not reference "Muhammad Ali/Cassius Clay" in List of people from Louisville, Kentucky. We do not reference "Cliff Richard/Harry Rodger Webb" in List of celebrities who own wineries and vineyards. And we do not reference "Cilla Black/Cilla White" in List of game show hosts. This is especially the case in tables, which are included to make the article concise.

Street Fighter II was the first one-on-one fighting game to give players a choice from a variety of player characters with different moves, an option which created hitherto unknown levels of depth and replay value for an arcade game. Each player character had a fighting style with approximately 30 or more moves (including then-new grappling moves such as throws) as well as two or three special attacks per character.

Been done in Konami's Galactic Warriors (1985). Parrothead1983 (talk) 03:30, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Character Chart

I was looking at the character chart and do not understand the numbering used. At the bottom a 1 indicates they're an NPC but all characters have 1's in their boxes. Adon has a 3 in his box for Street Fighter 4 which is also false (3 indicates only in cutscenes or backgrounds), as he was added in Super Street Fighter 4. Maybe I'm missing something but this information is either incorrect or fale.

"Numbers indicate the game number within a series of their first appearance." For example, Akuma has a 5 for SFII because he appeared in the 5th version of it, which was Super Turbo. The letters, not the number, show who is playable, who is an NPC, etc. But I understand where you're coming from. It's not exactly the best table in Wikipedia.

WikiProject Video games assessment

I am keeping the current assessment of C/High as this fails WP:BCLASS criteria #1. Entire paragraphs and even sections are not referenced. --Teancum (talk) 02:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

B-Class Criteria

Taken from WP:BCLASS The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of citation templates such as {{cite web}} is not required, but the use of <ref></ref> tags is encouraged. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing. The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind. The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content. The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.

Spin-off characters in table?

Is this okay? I mean, no, I can't think of a good argument against it, but for some reason, it just seems wrong to me. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 01:48, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix

Should we not include some mention of Capcom's Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix? Half the characters were from street fighter after all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.125.167.95 (talk) 09:20, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

First of all, new comments on the bottom. Second of all, what exactly do you want mentioned? TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 01:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Character table

The character table takes almost 10 kylobites of the entire article. Everything within it is unsourced and can be explained in the list of characters in prose so I removed it to avoid undue weight. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 18:00, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Other,stuff now

Another Family Guy episode where Peter was saying something to Brian and he end up saying Street Fighter Chars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tailsman67 of Wikia 98.71.48.207 (talk) 20:20, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I saw that,but you need the specific episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.71.62.146 (talk) 19:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

No, there's really no reason to mention Family Guy passively listing off some names in this article. It would really only be appropriate in the article for the respective FG episode, and I'm pretty sure it would already be listed. Sergecross73 msg me 20:19, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Images in article

I am going to change the images on this page when I get around to it. When snapshots are taken of certain Capcom games, they are letterboxed for some reason, and stretching them in Photoshop blurs the image. I will correct the images to the correct 4:3 ratio and still keep the sharpness and also take better screenshots that represent the games better (rather than 2 images of Ken stood there doing nothing). Mr.bonus 14:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC) there was also a movie on street fighter but it was an epic fail and didn't make it into any theaters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.240.77 (talk) 20:30, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

History > Videogames section

Why list the Versus (vs Marvel, vs X-Men, vs Marvel Super Heroes, vs SNK, VS Tekken) series and the EX series? They are not SF canon series, source: http://fightingstreet.com/folders/variousinfofolder/variousinfopages/streetfighterplotguide.txt Zandrek (talk) 23:45, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

It's not canon, but I don't see why that's an issue. You probably have a case with Marvel vs. and vs. SNK, but I don't see what makes the others unworthy of mention. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 04:50, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Hadoken section?

Unless you want to list and describe every single special attack in thsi article, the Hadoken section doesn't belong here. I've reverted it to its own article. 190.222.81.141 (talk) 05:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually, the result at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hadouken (2nd nomination) indicates that notability being established and undisputed is not necessarily true. –MuZemike 07:01, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I insist: the Hadoken section seems to be completely out of place in this article. Unless a more comprehensive section is created (like "Special Moves", for example) it should be removed. Not to mention it's silly that the Hadoken article redirects here, but others (for example, the Shoryuken article) have their own pages. 190.222.81.141 (talk) 18:57, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Hodouken should be it`s own article, or part of an article on videogame fireball moves history. Where did throwing fireballs come from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.192.14.161 (talk) 15:12, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Being an unofficial film, this clearly doesn't have much importance to the franchise as a whole. It's interesting as a trivial tid-bit but not really worthy of an article in and of itself. The information could easily be contained in the main series article. --CaptainNtheGameMaster (talk) 15:44, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Question on the series' canonicity

Hello, I just wanted to bring this up and hear the admins' thoughts on this. According to Strugler (who runs the 2D fighting game site Hadoken.net), in a SFV-related article posted on February 11 2016, he was in contact with Capcom, UDON and a source who is appearently "close to Ono" and 'confirms' that the following three notes here are canon.

• The SFIV aftermath videos (C. Viper's shows how M. Bison was defeated at the end of SFII).
• Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind and the Super Street Fighter IV OVA (the Juri anime).
• Many of the Street Fighter Alpha 2 endings. Strugler stated the site will have another article which will go through which ones are canon (I have yet to see this article though).

Here is the link.

The reliability of Strugler (and this source who he says is close to Ono) can be questioned, I for one am not familiar with him and have doubts myself (the anime movies I believe, I knew that from earlier. The other two, I'm not so sure about). I wanted to ask what are your thoughts on this? Should it be taken seriously or be ignored?195.67.78.50 (talk) 10:48, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Overall arc

The article is missing the overall arc of the series and its popularity. Paraphrase of stuff like this can glue it together:

Street Fighter, Capcom's defining game series that originated in 1987, had struggled to maintain an audience past the mid-'90s. At one time it was king of the arcades, drawing competitors to battle it out in 60-second bursts of speed chess, dressed up as bar-room brawl pixel fights. But following the release of Street Fighter 3: Third Strike in 1999, declining sales meant Capcom decided to lay the series to rest.

Split Hadouken into an altogether separate article

Here its individual section really sticks out. A plentiful of sources should be really easy to find. SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 08:03, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@SNAAAAKE!!: You'll need a better title, such as Hadouken (Street Fighter). Hadouken is a DAB page with three valid entries, and there seems no reason to think that the Street Fighter meaning (or any other) is WP:PTOPIC. The band Hadouken! is getting a thoroughly respectable 94 views a day compared with 152 for the DAB page (page view analysis). If all those readers are looking for the Street Fighter meaning, that's still only 60%.

I agree that the inclusion of Hadouken in Street Fighter unbalances the article. If you can find the sources, go ahead and add them, then WP:BOLDly split the section out, update both the link on the DAB page and the hatnote in Hadouken!, and then add the new article, perhaps using {{main}} links, to other relevant articles. If you do that, I'd expect the number of DAB page views to drop - both main articles will show up as suggestions in the search box, helping readers get where they want quickly.

(I checked Japanese Wikipedia - they have no article.) Yrs, Narky Blert (talk) 18:36, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
