I've gotten a lot of followers and am just now realizing that a lot of you have no idea what it is I do.

Street Fighter Game Lore Theories
From the Mind of Steven Mane

...If anyone can associate me with a fictional character that is obsessed with Street Fighter lore, please tell me which character that is.

I finally got a chance to play Street Fighter's Last Cry.

It was dumb.
It was smart.
It was funny.
It was creepy.

It is also ripe for theorycrafting.

More of this, please.

We all argue who might be the strongest
@streetfighter.capcomusa.com character in the game.

But I wonder... who is the SMARTEST?

Whatever your criterion for the smartest character, whether lore, gameplay, or whatever, I want to know.

I'm a Cubs fan. I appreciate the Dodgers for sweeping the Brewers, but I wanted the Blue Jays to win.

Magic number 162.

This is LITERALLY what I do with Street Fighter... with evidence!!!
Nothing in the world more boring to me personally than talking about "lore" on its face value. I don't care about being told a bedtime story! Tell me your interpretation of the story being told using that lore as a basis! What does it mean to you!

I want to pitch @aftermath.site , but the problem is I'm a product guy who believes Street Fighter and its characters are due for a cultural revolution, which is sort of the opposite of what they're looking for.

The characters are familiar enough and the FGC thrives on grassroots messaging.

What if I told you... Street Fighter has a deeper lore than the individual titles of the Final Fantasy series?

Each title has its own self-contained story and once it's over, it's over. There are sequels and prequels to some games, of course, but the difference is Street Fighter's lore is ongoing.

You can get lovely art from me too by checking out my Ko-Fi link in my profile or having a gander at my commissions page below!

Can be anything from Transformers to Street Fighter to Dragonball, you name it!

Other writers were put on this earth to investigate real-life crimes, review tech products and multiple video games, and write about lifestyle choices. I can't do any of these. My heart just isn't it. My passion is Street Fighter, its story, and its characters. No other subject comes close.

I've had an idea for some time and only a few days ago, I finally got down to it. I re-translated the lyrics to Ed's Street Fighter 6 theme, König oder Feigling, to give it more flow.

It's not perfect, and it will probably need a rewrite, but here it is.

Yesterday on the bird app, someone posted a certain person singing and revealed they were singing for Karin Kanzuki. I reposted and said I'd sing for her for 1,000 likes.

If I can get a combined 1,000 likes between the apps I'll do it.

I'm ~$500 away from reaching a goal where my landlord will be happy.

In good news, there are interviews lined up for this week, and I can see a light if I just survive this moment.

Thank you to everyone so far. I won't forget your kindness and I will return it in some way as soon as I'm stable.
I don't like asking for help, but I have invoices that have been held up & have been secretly trying not to drown since the government cut my funding to teach in Spring.

Anything helps, & I am willing to offer a free "no judgement zone" venting session as a thank you. 🙇‍♀️

FGC, what is your win song? The song where you celebrate your victory, no matter how big or small.

Ranked up? Play it.
Found new tech? Play it.
Discovered a new piece of lore? Play it.
