The aftermath animations have long since been considered unusable here on the wiki, and I just realized I never put an explanation note about them on the verse page. I talked about them in an old CRT, but I'll leave here a summary:

The Aftermaths were an early stage of promotional material but what they show has been later retold by the "Ties That Bind" movie which came out with the game and by the cutscenes within SF4 itself, such as Bison's resurrection or Viper's invastigation.
Those scenes are kinda confused, because they show a rather free adaptation of Alpha 3, saying it happened after SF2, when both sources coming before and after Aftermath confirm Alpha 3 occurred before, as the game itself also does, it's meant to be a prequel after all.
The base cast defeating Bison is a contradiction on multiple fronts, he's shown time and time again to be able to curbstop all of them, or to make short work of characters who can do that as well, such as Juri and Seth.
The final moments of Alpha 3 are muddy as well in canon, but SF4 and some more material tells us Bison was firstly knocked out by Evil Ryu, then finished off by Rose and some more characters involved.
Finally, Chun-Li exerting such levels of energy (the feat was Low 7-C) comes off as a huge contradiction both for feats (both of AP and Dura) shown by the characters and even statements as well, as Juri's 8-B levels of power shown in her OAV (which is canon for various reasons) are explicitly stated by Guile and Chun-Li to be terriyfing and beyon what a normal human should be capable of, thus cutting themselves out by default.

Hey there. I'm very sorry if this is not the right place for this, but, I was watching ClementJ64's video of Street Fighter's lore and characters, and about an hour 23 minutes in, he plays a clip from one of the Street Fighter 4 Aftermath animations.


In this clip, M.Bison has been cornered in combat by Chun-Li, Cammy, Ryu, Ken, and Guile. To avoid letting any of them land the final blow, M.Bison blows himself up, creating a large explosion that also moves away some clouds.

I'm not sure what this could be, output wise. I checked the pages of the 6 characters involved in this, and I don't think this is in any of them? It may not be relevant, but I felt it could potentially be, and wanted to share it with those who may care for it.

In short, the aftermath events says alpha 3 was after sf2 which isnt true and gets contradicted even more later, plus alpha era cast were way younger too compared to sf2

The consistency between characters isnt accurate and doesnt fit with their feats, Juri in the ova is considered above anyone not on Bison levels at the time, also feats have them lower overall

Clement video is good for the most part to explain all there is to SF in terms of verse and characters lore, but some stuff arent accurate, wrongs exist in it and for a vs standpoint its eh
 
Nice addition, I guess it's pretty useful for competitive players, it reminds me of the amiibos.
Also nice intelligence feat for Li-Fen, if she ever gets a profiles.
 
How old are they, tbh? Over 40s already, it seems. It does make sense, but they still seem and feel young, idk. It kinda checks out with the progression of time, but for them to already have been accomplished fighters 20 years ago they must have been already at a certain age. All super cool, though, I love to see him and Ken be such buddies.
 
They stopped mentioning dates after SF2 and from there on they just went with generic "years", without precise numbers.

The old dates of course aren't reliable anymore, because they were supposed to be in line with 1991, but today it would make them all around 60 or 70, which clearly isn't the case.

We can try to guess some years following Mel and Li-Fen's growth, but even then we are talking about 10 - 15 tops between 2 and 6.
 
All the love can truly be seen from Capcom in creating this special occasion (also, Saman's going to love what his second Master Mission is about).

You mean the one featuring Ryu?
That was the coolest thing ever and I was very immersed in the scene, perfect for character development and homage to both, considering how different they have also become, yet still share the same spirit.
On a more blunt and rude note, I can't honestly say I'd scale him fully to Ryu. Idk, he impressed him, but it's nothing new for Ryu to compliment or be interested by other fighters, and he is the exact kind of person knowing that in a fighter there is much more than just strength.

Also, everyone talks about Terry having an inner fire and Lily says he's blessed by the fire spirits, yet he has no fire-based moves, it's so annoying.
 
I kinda conditioned him to throw since I loved to abuse it. Me and my friend been practicing since I recently started using Ken, landing a run stop combo is still so difficult for me. I landed like 5 or 6 out of the 20+ times i failed and got punished for it
Another successful run stop attempt
