You answer the phone. Your head's pounding, but Pete's a good guy. "Whaaaaaaat the fuuuuuck do you waaaaaaant?" you manage to slur.

"What the fuck are you doing, you fucking idiot?" Pete shouts into your ear.

"Sleeping in?" you say, throwing the sheets off your body.

"Have you seen the news? Apparently you beat the local World Warrior champion into the hospital with a box of dildos."

"One dildo," you say. "And I mostly beat him up with pool cues. The dildo just seemed funny at the time."

"Jesus christ. You don't even know what you've done." You can hear the sounds of a dojo hard at work behind Pete. "We need to talk. Meet me at the cafe by your house in an hour."

You stare at the phone for a minute after he hangs up. You hate the prospect of getting yelled at, but he might know something you don't. And he usually pays when he drags you out somewhere.

>Detour to pick up a newspaper and look for news of the fight
If it's not far, we've got time to read a headline after we get cleaned up. I'm not sure we've quite processed that we beat a local champ and are now a legit World Warrior.

Then again, we did it while drunk and with busted pool cues and a dildo (which probably makes it more impressive), but still.

>>21071238
Aside: do we have our own proper kali sticks, or were the ones we trained with back in the day loaners from the Soaring Eagle dojo? If we're legit now, we may want to (stealthily) start carrying them around, just in case.

Also, don't we get Boss Honda's snazzy title belt?

>>21071322

We don't have proper kali sticks, but we kept the pool cue from last night.

The belt wasn't really an official World Warrior thing as much as Boss Honda being kind of a weirdo. Also we had just slapped him in the face with a dildo, we didn't want to start stripping him right there.

>>21071238

>Newspaper

I'd like to see some more information on the world. There's a King of Fighters tournament too? Are Streets of Rage and that stuff canon too? Will we get to meet Mike Haggar?

>>21071435
Fair enough.

Also: if we've been around long enough to have been inspired by Eagle, reminisce about the main World Warriors, and still lambast this "new generation" of fighters, then how far in the future is this? That is, how far after Street Fighter III is this quest?
Nice nods to the King of Fighters, too. Maybe we'll fight someone inspired by Mr. Big and it'll be on like Hakan.

>>21071464
I suppose we're in a Capcom vs. SNK universe, which isn't all that farfetched. The World Warrior tournament and King of Fighters tournaments exist as unique circuits. You're also thinking of Final Fight, not Streets of Rage.

>>21071464
We live in Metro City. Depending on the timeline, Haggar might still be Mayor. I mean Mayor officially. He's always Mayor in spirit.

File: 1349901454713.jpg-(537 KB, 1400x1600, 4cef9baf56af0416378cc9e7d(...).jpg)

>>21071494
If we're after SF3, then I'd assume Metro City has long since been cleaned up, although it'll always be proud of its reputation for being tough and resilient. Metro City is to Capcom what Southtown is to SNK: a city in the USA that inexplicably attracts strong people and is a seminal point in the world. Southtown should be Metro's sister city.

>>21071298

You may feel like death warmed over, but that's no reason not to be a proper gentleman. You shower and get dressed, opting for a subtle-yet-refined bowtie. 9/10 on the snazz scale, getting dangerously close to zazz.

Once fully dressed you head downstairs, stopping to grab a newspaper from a vending machine. The front page is all standard politics - Governor Haggar disappeared from the capital building for five hours, police later responded to an emergency call near the docks about twenty-seven Neo Mad Gear members with broken arms. Like every Friday night.

You continue flipping through the paper as you walk, trying to move with the crowd. Buried back in the sports section, just before the comics, there's a blurry photo of you and Boss Honda. You get a quarter-page story that tries to clean up the seedier details - less of a bar brawl that went out of hand and more like a proper match.

The paper doesn't mention anything about the pool cue, though. It states that Anon beat Boss Honda unconscious with a foot-long anatomically correct rubber marital aid. You break into a cold sweat as you try to remember whether or not your mother gets the paper.

>>21071490

Yeah, I'm thinking about all the different beat'em ups. Streets of Rage (Mr X, is he around?), Final Fight (Haggar etc, since we're in Metro City after all), and maybe even Art of Fighting (Mr Karate and stuff).

Take detour

>>21071490
hell, other fighters like Tekken and Virtua Fighter could also be a possibility!

>>21071562
Streets of Rage is completely different from Final Fight. Street Fighter and Final Fight are in the same universe, and if the King of Fighters is a thing, then Art of Fighting (and Fatal Fury, as well) was also a thing. AoF and FF occurred in Southtown, though.

>>21071490

Roughly the Capcom vs SNK universe. KoF and the World Warrior tournament exist as different circuits like you said. I'm not sure exactly how far after SFII this is. It's at least fifteen years since the first Street Fighter, timeline may shift a bit more once I get things pinned down/research Street Fighter continuity more.

>>21071464

The main Street Fighter and King of Fighters timelines are canon. By extension their tie-in games are as well (Final Fight, Rival Schools, Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury specifically.) I'm more familiar with 2D fighters than 3D fighters, but I'll see if I can't fold in Tekken and Virtua Fighter. There are dozens of fighting organizations in the real world, I don't see any reason a fictional fighting game universe can't have a roughly equal number.

>>21071556
>Governor Haggar
Hell yeah. Moving on up in the world.
>Neo Mad Gear
Kudos for trying.
>It states that Anon beat Boss Honda unconscious with a foot-long anatomically correct rubber marital aid.
Well, it's not WRONG.

>>21071570

I can't imagine the clusterfuck that results from the simultaneous plotting of Bison, Geese and the other big bads.

>>21071615
the only non canon timeline within KoF is the dream matches, which have impossible situations/non existent storyline

>>21071615
I'm a fighting game junkie myself, so I can help out with that.

We'll assume this quest takes place some time after CvS 2, which automatically means that it takes place after Street Fighter III (which was the end of the SF timeline). The gap between 2 and 3 (with 4 in the middle) was a few years as far as I can gather. We can just say this quest takes place in the modern day (2012) for the sake of convenience, which would put it over a decade after CvS2 (2001).

Reminder: the Ash Saga retconned itself out of existence recently, so anything and everything to do with Ash Crimson or the Ash Saga was never a thing.

>>21071683
That's true: '98 and '02 are "dream match" years, so those don't really count.

Anyway, on with the meet with Pete.

File: 1349902844013.jpg-(91 KB, 800x600, cafe.jpg)

>>21071556

You're so wrapped up in the comic section that you almost walk right past Cafe Tsuruma. Something about Marmaduke always made your skin crawl and you always get wrapped up in trying to figure out why. Something about why this family keeps this dog that's ruining their lives.

"Anon!" Pete says, tugging at your sleeve as you pass. You wouldn't know Pete to be a martial artist when you first see him. He's a little long in the tooth, and years of getting thrown around the ring by stronger up-and-comers have left him looking rough. The clearest indication is that blue gi he's always wearing. He says it's branding, trying to build an identity for himself. You see a blue gi, you think Pete. In theory, at least.

As you sit down you find Pete already has a hangover-curing breakfast of eggs and bacon. He may be a mediocre fighter, but he's a hell of a guy.

"First things first. Where did that dildo even come from?"

>I found it.
>What dildo?
>Your mom's.

>>21071798

Look, who cares where the dildo came from? It's branding, building an identity, that shit. Anyone can beat a guy unconscious with a pair of regular-ass sticks, but a huge black rubber dong? That gets people's attention. Maybe you should get one too, there was a whole crate of them near the bar I fought in.

I wouldn't put it past people, however weird they are, to leave a full box of dildos in a back alley next to a bar in case someone finds an especially randy lady in the pub, I don't know. Now, whether or not it was PURELY COINCIDENCE that that guy was KOed by something resembling Black Mjolnir is immaterial. Don't believe everything you read."

Some grade-A sasstalk crosses your mind, but it would only get between you and breakfast. "Found it," you mumble in between forkfuls of egg.

"Jesus. What kinda diseases did you give that guy?" Pete says. "He comes into the gym sometimes, now I'm gonna be worried about him spreading face chlamydia all over the place."

You shrug.

"Alright," Pete says, rubbing his eyes. "I don't really know how you did it, but you've got the regional title for the World Warrior tournament. How you planning on losing it?"

"Not planning on losing it," you say. You try to get the attention of a waiter, but nobody seems to be working this section. "I guess I'm just Metro City's designated Street Fighter."

"No. No, listen," he says. Pete rubs the bridge of his nose as if a headache is coming on. "You're not ready for this. I helped you move a couch last month, I know you're not in the kind of shape you need to be to survive the World Warrior tournament. You didn't think the title just meant you fought scrubs like Boss Honda and the karate hobos, did you? In two months the tournament starts and then you're going to be fighting champions. Genuine fireball-hurling hardasses who won't think twice about hospitalizing you. I'm begging you, find some up-and-comer and let him take you out convincingly."

A burly man almost bursting out of his uniform stands before you, an elegant tea tray balanced on his right hand, a towel draped over his left. For a moment you find yourself wondering how he serves tea with boxing gloves on.

"Oh," you think to yourself as his left arm draws back. "Oh, he doesn't."

You kick backwards, tumbling the chair to the ground and rolling out of the chair to your feet, the waiter's fist missing your face by a country mile. You come to your feet and straighten your bowtie in one smooth motion. You hope it looked as cool as it felt. The crowd of the diner are scrambling away from the patio, Pete along with them. By the time your hands leave your tie it's just you and the waiter.

"So you're the bum who sucker-punched his way into the World Warrior tournament," the waiter sneers.

"Anon," you say coolly. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, mister...?"

"Earl Gray," he says. He flexes. "HOT."

That's cheesy, but the women in the crowd eat it up. He's got enough raw style to match your own.

>>21072301
>Talk him down.

>>21072368
Our character is inspired by Eagle from Street Fighter 1. Our preferred style is knockoff escrima/stickfighting with one or two sticks (I imagine we can use either or). We prefer to fight with nothing BUT a weapon.

>>21072301
Find weapons. Two bloody alley cats if you need to. But find some bloody weapons now. Because initiative ain't on your side now.

You glance at the chair you knocked over in the earlier scuffle, trying to determine if has the kind of legs you can break off and use. Earl Gray notices you glance and sneers.

"Go ahead. I don't want anyone saying I beat you unfairly."

"This isn't the kind of thing where we're going to fight and then be friends, is it?" you ask, edging toward the chair. It looks like a single sharp blow could snap off a decent-sized stick from each leg, but it would take a few seconds each. Plus if you don't manage to snap it in a clean blow you'll look really, really stupid.

"No," Earl says. We're going to fight and then I'm going to be the World Warrior." He adjusts his balance slightly, the tea set still balanced on his right hand.

Fuck it, you think. You need a weapon. Turning your attention from Earl for a moment you draw your hand back and prepare to strike.

That'd be actually pretty impressive if Pete regularly practices Kyokugen-ryuu Karate (the Sakazaki [and Robert Garcia] family fighting style), especially at his age. There's a cycle to explain why the dojos are always scraping for money:
1. King of Fighters takes place. Team Art of Fighting always makes a strong showing and gain exposure.
2. Everyone hears about Kyokugen-ryuu and signs up for classes.
3. Everyone but the most stubborn realize the Kyokugen-ryuu classes and regimen are BALLS HARD.
4. People quit.
5. Repeat.
Behold the Kyokugen Plight. Behold why Pete would be pretty remarkable if he was a practitioner at his age.

Your hand bounces right off the chair, stinging like hell. A laugh rolls through the crowd, though Earl Gray seems to only grow angrier at the sight. "You can't even defeat a chair and you want to represent Metro City? This is a disgrace." He closes the distance fast - too fast for a man with a tea tray still in one hand. You have just enough time to notice Pete raising his hand before you're forced to defend yourself.

That aside, regardless of whether or not Legends of Sakura was good, it still doesn't change that for the most part, Rival Schools/Project Justice is for the most part divided from Street Fighter as far as inter-series interaction goes.

You're not as comfortable without the sticks, but one of the things beaten into your body in years of hard practice was the idea that your sticks were merely an extension of the arm. Earl is limiting himself to his left for some stupid reason of style, so it's easy for you to use evasive footwork and basic sticky-hands fighting to keep him at bay. One or two flicker jabs to his face and you feel the momentum start to shift in your favor.

Then Earl throws the teaset straight into the air. You're distracted by it for the barest split second - just long enough for that Christmas Ham-sized right to plough straight into your face. You stagger back a step, more dazed than hurt.

You move in again, cautiously this time, testing out the range of Earl's jab. You're dimly aware of Pete shouting for you. He's got your sticks.

Fuck proper footwork. You wait for that tea tray to go up in the air again before hopping backwards as fast as you can. Earl Gray stays rooted in place - he can't abandon the tray, it would ruin the image - giving you time to snatch the first stick from Pete and whip it as hard as you can right at Earl's face.

He instinctively brings both hands to a proper boxing guard for the first time in the fight. The tea tray clatters to the floor and his entire stupid persona goes with it.

You take the other two chair legs from Pete. They have a strange heft and not enough flexibility to work for your style, but this shouldn't last longer than another minute. You have just enough time to give Pete the faintest hint of a smile of appreciation before Earl Gray is on you like a raging bull.

Thinking about where we should turn for training and special moves when we finish this fight. Canonically, there are several options for learning stick fighting styles that can supplement ours. Besides Eagle, there's Rolento's style. There's also Mr. Big who has some pretty useful projectile blocking techniques.

Oh boy. Since He'll be protecting his face with those massive gloves, we can just crush his weak boxer wrists that can't take bare knuckle hits. Or anything else.

Rolento's stick is longer and metal, not the same as Eagle's twin kalis. Plus, Eagle already has an anti-projectile move. It'll take some time to learn that.

Rolling for Earl Gray's flurry of punches. May the dice gods be with us.

Op, please use the 88 we saved from previous. And ignore the natural 1.

>>21073147
There! Cancelled the nat 1 just about.

Street Fighting Man, are we going BRP with this, by having our moves be percentile-based?

>>21073174
BRP?

>>21073184

Basic Roleplaying. You do a d100 roll, and the roll's modified by percentiles from attributes. If I'm recalling that correctly.

>>21073197
We haven't seen any stat sheets (especially since we're just starting out), so I don't think so. It's just flat d100 rolls, which is nicer and offers a finer gradient than d20.

>>21073197
That'd be fun. But without us actually knowing our percentiles. Instead "getting a bit better." and so on, so the suspense stays there.

>>21073218
Statsheet, if we ever get one, would hopefully not have any kind of concrete numbers.

>>21073228

Yeah, it should be more like beat'em up statsheets with "PUNCH: A+, KICK: C, SPEED: B+, DEFEND: A" or something like that.

Bonus if someone can make a sprite edit.

>>21073156

Even with the saved 88 it isn't good news.

You prepare to use your tried-and-true strategy of a slight sidestep followed by a crack to the back of the skull when you bump into the table. The same one you were eating at when this entire fiasco started.

You try to defend as best you can but Earl Gray is raw frothing rage and fifty pounds of muscle heavier than you. The first round of body blows feels like it cracks a rib. The second ends in a right straight that has your vision fading to white. When you come to your head is fuzzy and distant. You almost don't even remember why this musclebound berzerker is trying to pound your face in. You fade out again.

>>21073287

You see a vision.

A gawky child watching TV. Two world-class fighters facing off with honor and dignity, the top men of their field.

The gawky child was transfixed by the one with raw style. In a world of bare-chested machismo and bad dudes, where the mayor was just as likely to rip off his shirt and tear a gang apart as he was to sign legislation, where karate hobos in ragged gis wandered the land, where it seemed like nobody bothered with shirt sleeves anymore, there was this man. There was the bowtie. There was the idea that just because a man was strong didn't mean he didn't have class.

You snap back to reality. Blood is streaming from your nose. At least one of your ribs is cracked. Earl Gray is tiring himself out and slowing down, but he wants to end this. He's winding up for a punch to put you down.

Roll for CROSS COUNTER.

>>21073337
Average rolls are the shittiest system of rolling. Even if, statistically, they're fair, it feels bullshit to get a 97 then have it be canceled out by a 2.

>>21073397
He didn't say this CROSS COUNTER would be an average roll, though.

Rolled 11

very true. I feel the GM should let us have this moment with that 98. Or at least roll a d6 to select one roll out of the ones we're got so far.

Rolled 37

>>21073397
especially if the opponent has only one roll. Which gives us roughly a 50/50 chance of losing/winning in the long run. Might as well throw a coin.

Rolled 77, 58 = 135

>>21073228

I'll take that into consideration and make a sort of character sheet. Bonuses and penalties hidden, but some modifiers and guidelines to make it more like an actual game instead of nonstop DM fiat. No concrete numbers in public, but maybe a beat'em up statsheet like >>21073257 said.

Rolling for Earl Gray. Hope this roll is shitty.

>>21073416
Or just say "best out of X rolls." I like how he's varying his style, though.

>>21073421

well, crap on a crutch.

>>21073421
Is that good for us? Both of those are below 98, for sure.

>>21073420

We could roll for the opponents too, you know.

>decided to go with best two rolls /tg/ gets against two random rolls of Earl's

You shatter the fucking chair leg against Earl Gray's face and slip his punch in one smooth motion. He's dazed - you can see it in his eyes. You grip the remaining chair leg.

No spike, and it's not quite a haymaker combo, but it's something to be inspired by.

>>21073471
Can I vote for Gigantic Pressure from Rugal? I've always been a fan of that, even though it makes even less sense than all other moves.

That, or a sweeping slash to his knees and a kick to the ribs when he's down.

You arc the remaining club in a golf-style swing straight into Earl's jaw. He actually gets some air for a second before you whip the chair leg onto the top of his skull, slamming him to the ground.

You sway on your feet for a moment before the chair leg falls from your hands. The crowd explodes, cheering you as you stumble back to Pete. Your friend is already throwing your arm over his shoulder and walking you away from the cafe.

"Pete, you're my bro and I appreciate everything you said," you slur. Something about a massive concussion brings out some honesty. "But I'm not giving up. And I'm never giving in."

"I know, buddy," Pete says

"I want you to do two things. I want you to be my training partner. I've gotta get stronger if I'm gonna survive this."

"Of course," Pete says.

"And I need you to take me to a hospital right fucking now because I think that guy punched my ribcage out."

NEXT TIME ON STREET FIGHTER QUEST: TRAINING MONTAGE

>>21073696

Yay! I say we go to South Town to learn the art of Pimp Fighting from Mr Big. Or at least, from one of his presumably many disciples.

>>21073652
Almost forgot about King (since she's SNK), but yeah, she'd be a great inspiration as well. Though she dresses like that -- less often, anyway -- due to a mostly fixed gender complex. I'll put it this way: for a long while, "female" and "Muay Thai" were considered mutually exclusive. Once, King masqueraded as a male to enter a Muay Thai tournament. Halfway through the grand final match, her secret was, well, "exposed," and she was disqualified on the spot for being a woman. She dressed masculine and kept her gender secret ever since. Then she met Ryo, who honestly didn't care she was a lady fighter. She's broken out of her shell since.

But yeah, King would make for good inspiration, too. Use some Muay Thai to supplement our escrima. Oddly enough, both Eagle and King were bouncers at one point.

>>21073722
Big's a crimelord, though (maybe). I don't think he has lessons to give.

>>21073652
>>21073750

I like that. Anon's going to totally have some huge 80s-tastic poster of King in his apartment. We also haven't really gone much into what Anon does for a living, maybe he'll spend some time as a bouncer during his training period. That's up to you guys, though. I'm personally hoping the choice is for him to live among the Karate Hobos for a few weeks.

>>21073435

I'm going to try to mix things up now and again so that it doesn't get boring on either side. Once I work out a behind-the-scenes system for this I'll probably have a little more flexibility.

We're also going to be veering into a section where Anon can lose fights without derailing the story, so they're probably going to get harder from here out.

Um, general quest discussion now, I guess? Anything you guys liked, anything didn't work, what have you?

>>21073786
Average rolls don't work in fights if only one side does it.

>>21073786

>>21073786

Let's see what kind of options we have for training stuff. Based on the source material, the general themes are:

1. Regular dojo training. Pretty bog-standard, and not too exciting. Unless we get some crazy-ass master.

2. Working as a bouncer. Pretty standard too, but offers a chance to meet gangers. Like Akira. And Poison.

3. Working as a bodyguard. Could be cool depending on who we get to guard.

4. Paramilitary/mercenary/spec ops work. Pretty unlikely that our dapper bum would get recruited into Delta Red or the Ikari Warriors, but stranger things have happened.

I wondering if we can't get a customed sticks where you can connect pair of sticks to take shape of long staff?

>>21073786
I like it, and not just because I'm a sucker for fighting games and you sound like you know a thing or two. Your writing style is rather empirical and objective. Then again, it's not like we have much to work with regarding Anon!MC's style, looks or personality. (We should probably give him a proper name at some point, as an aside.) Still, the fights are fun, though I feel there can be more done when setting a scene (sounds, smells, minor happenings, etc.). This is a rather relaxed quest that could go in many directions, humorous or otherwise. You've already heard about the system, so I'll abstain on that.

Overall, there's room to grow, and it shows here and there, but for what it is, and for appealing to the game nerd in me, it's fun. 7/10, would run again.

>>21073786

How about the ability to set up better rolls when we need it by creating advantages? Maybe we can hit to stumble an opponent to set up for a bigger attack. Of course, smarter enemies can do that too.

I also suggested something like BRP's system so we can maybe have more powerful, but inaccurate, attacks to mix things up with our safer ones. Of course, making advantages can help our wilder attacks hit more easily.

>>21073939

What, like Billy Kane? Looks like this is swiftly shaping up to become SNK Quest! Not that I mind, mind you.

>>21073980
A rudimentary combo system. Nifty.

>>21073786
I greatly dislike averaging all the rolls, (in the interest of not making it look like I'm more people than I am, I'm >>21073397)
I would instead take the best of the first three rolls, or if the slight statistical advantage is unacceptable, just take the first roll.

>>21073939
>>21073989
A detachable tri-section staff? That feels like it'd miss the point slightly of being inspired predominantly by Eagle.

>>21073980

We could use the training arc to experiment with a combo system and implement it.

Also, there's room for side stories. I'd love to play on the Interpol/Shadowloo side of things too.

>>21074019
dear god, side story adventures could be insane.

>>21074019
Officially, Chun-Li retired from Interpol and runs a school/orphanage for Chinese kids. "Fight for the future," remember? I doubt she wouldn't still have contacts.

As for Cammy still being active in Delta Red (part of British special forces), I'd say that's still possible. She was groomed to be Dictator's new body should any of his others fail, so I imagine she's got quite some longevity on her. Ignore that fact that CvS 1 and 2 had her using her Alpha sprites when she was a part of Shadoloo (and that her VA's English was ehhh).

Not real like Billy Cane but rather like Rolento except knife throwing. The reason I that I thinking about it becuase it will give us the range for both short and long range combat.

>>21074094
Eagle didn't need a ranged attack. He had ways to get inside and answers for projectiles. Again, see >>21073133.

File: 1349913727519.jpg-(632 KB, 1400x1600, 1bbccf83f60a7860337a835f3(...).jpg)

>>21074087
I think it's more an on-again off-again thing with Chun-Li and Interpol. It's hard to forget the habits of the job, and she still fights for the people and brings evildoers to justice. Hell, in CvS, Chun-Li vs. Yamazaki had a special intro: detective Hon-Fu makes a cameo and jumps in, saying he'll give her backup before Yama snaps his ass and sends him running. He even calls her with "Chun-Li-renka!" If my facts aren't wrong, -renka is a suffix one cop uses to another. I suppose you never quite leave the job.

Would be nice if OP gave us a list of potential places and fighting styles we could train in the next thread. That way we could vote on it.

>>21073980

>combo system
>light and heavy attacks

Brilliant! I'll mess with some numbers and try to get something worked up.

>>21073951

I appreciate the honesty! This is my first time running a quest, I hadn't considered those little details enough. I'll do some work on that.

I actually do have a (very) little bit of experience with eskrima, so it's kinda worked out nicely that Eagle won the roll in the beginning.

As for the new styles/new weapons that Anon may learn, I'm going to try to keep it loose going into the training mode.

As far as running into preexisting characters, it all depends where the story goes. I'd prefer to keep to the original premise of "a quest in the Street Fighter universe" instead of "a quest with Street Fighter characters," but as Anon rises in the ranks of the fighting world it would make sense for him to start running into these characters.

>>21074066

What's even more insane is that Psycho Power, the Dark Surge and the Orochi Power coexist in this setting.

>>21074270

That final boss almost writes itself.

>>21074270
Technically, Dictator is dead and gone by the time of SFIII, if I'm not mistaken (despite the anachronism of Dictator actually competing in CvS; same to Rugal and Geese). The Satsui no Hadou is an Ansatsuken thing, since it's an inherently violent style and can bring out a person's murderous potential if you're not careful; Ryu has fully rejected the SnH by the time of SFIII (by the time of 3, he was on-par power-wise with if he would ever succumbed to the SnH, rendering it useless to him), while Akuma/Gouki plainly embraced it. Orochi is still sealed, at least, though Kyo and Iori are still at each other's throats with Chizuru and the others trying to break them up.

>>21074241
Hell, it'd likely be a dream to actually meet Eagle and/or King and learn from them directly. It'd give Anon incentive to go hobo-wandering: to meet his heroes.

>>21074636
Eagle's probably living it easy in England, while King currently owns a bar and club in Southtown in a partnership with Duck King. Both graduated from bouncing a loooong time ago.

>England, aonedRo

>>21074698

Eventually the World Warrior tournament will kick into the World part, then Anon can try to learn under Eagle.
