If Kenshiro is going to be in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves....
Does that mean Jotaro is due for Year 4 of Street Fighter 6?
Because this is a crossover even I could get behind.

Learning today that Alex was always meant to be a Devilman send-up is kinda eye opening, from making his Halloween costume in SFV make sense and comparing his relationship with Gill
Damn wow

Ok, finally saw it.
For those who played World Tour, remember in The Fighty Mighty mission when Andore was upset he couldn't find someone who was stronger than him?
Yeah, he found my guy.

Time to give the Dark Devil his due when Alex, The Man With No Allies, enters the ring.
Get ready for the main event when he drops into Street Fighter 6 in early spring!

I haven't seen the Street Fighter trailer yet, but apparently from what I'm seeing online, Alex has become Maxwell Jacob Friedman?

A huge thanks to @retrogamermag.bsky.social for devoting six whole pages to telling my story. Absolutely humbled to be able to go to Barnes & Noble and find a magazine with an article about my career.

Idea to expand the story of Street Fighter: a spin-off fighting game. Same universe, different leads. Sakura and Karin are the main protagonists. New villain who is extremely powerful, but maybe kind of absent-minded.

I decided to look up some American media franchises under the Paramount banner to see if there are any that could potentially crossover with Street Fighter.
There are quite a few that are on brand:
1. Star Trek
2. Mission Impossible
3. Walker, Texas Ranger
4. Terminator

One of the most underrated debuts of all time. Decapre deserves a second chance.
On this day 11 years ago, hints for the 5th character teaser for Ultra Street Fighter IV were shared via Siliconera. The teaser hints can be read below.

If I could make one change to Street Fighter, it would be this: when G inevitably returns, I'd like him to start speaking Cajun French. I've always believed G's origins are based in New Orleans, and any ties to Louisiana Voodoo could explain his story easily. Moreso... [1]

I've just realized that if they put Karin Kanzuki and her moon colony in Street Fighter 6, it would be a wasted opportunity to not put some variant of this as the moon colony's theme. youtu.be/YHEifuLCSIY?...

@marzgurl.com It's been a long time since I wrote something, and I'm looking for eyes. You said a long time ago you knew people who were into Street Fighter, and this is something they may want to know about.

What was your biggest impact on the internet?
I transformed the fan culture of a legendary video game series, forcing the entire FGC to take notice of even the smallest of story details.

I'm beginning to think G, Q, JP, and Necalli could try working together, if they aren't already. If JP is a Hannibal Lecter type, they'd have a whole system to take care of people who oppose them.
1) The Q puppets collect the "ingredients", i.e. the opposing forces.
