Near the end of 2021, Street Fighter V director Takayuki Nakayama shared information with Twitter user Io Housenka regarding some of the lore surrounding Neo Shadaloo. While I did share the original tweet on my own account, since it's entirely in Japanese, it's impossible to translate correctly unless you can read Japanese. Fortunately, Event Hubs … Continue reading Good Game: The Two Gs →

G has unquestionably been the biggest influence on my blog and theories. He's involved in so many characters' stories that it's clear that I feel he's more than just a minor character. Based on the lore, he has connections to Rashid, Menat, Rose, Gill, Dan, Hakan, Elena, Ibuki, Oro, and Q (and by proximity to … Continue reading The More Complete G Lore Primer →

As I reflect on the three years I've done this blog, I've realized that there are some things I've gotten right, some things I've gotten wrong, and some things that are still yet to be determined. There's a lot still to be determined, which means many of my theories are still relevant and could come … Continue reading Juri Nullification →

I've been pushing the idea that Shadaloo's Doll Project, the Illuminati's G Project, whatever the Glade of Ninjas are doing, and whatever G is doing are all connected. There's a line that leads from one project to another, ending with the creations of Q, Twelve, Necro, and, eventually, Ibuki. However, there is another very curious … Continue reading The Gilded Eyes of Evil →

The well of new information for Street Fighter theories seems to have dried up. Luke's "reveal" actually didn't reveal anything, and without any new lore coming in, I have to rely on the information that is there, much of it I've covered in past theories. There are characters I haven't been able to do a … Continue reading Jaguar Avalanche →

After waiting three months since his reveal, Luke has finally come out… and his story tells us absolutely nothing about Luke's future. The good news is that Luke's story doesn't give me the same feeling of rage that Akira's story did. The bad news is I don't feel anything from his story at all. I've … Continue reading Q Hand Luke →

In August of 2021, Wizards of the Coast announced a Magic: The Gathering crossover with Street Fighter for their ongoing Secret Lair series. While a timeframe has not been released as of the publishing of this article, reactions have been mixed to Street Fighter's inclusion in the card game. Players make the argument that IPs … Continue reading Street Fighter is Magic: The Gathering of Thoughts →

One of the hardest things for a lore theorycrafter to do is make a theory on someone that doesn't have much of a backstory. Birdie is an interesting case. Even though he's a recognizable legacy character, there isn't a whole lot to really theorize on with him. He does, however, have one mystery to him … Continue reading What A Little Birdie Told Me →

Something kept nagging me about Akira's story mode in Street Fighter V. I hated it with a passion because, on the surface, it's all fluff and fanservice. I hated it because there was a better story that could have been told that would have given Akira a more solid reason to be in the game … Continue reading Ibuki: Sugar and Sadness →

Event Hubs recently came out with a YouTube video that talked about the potential story of Street Fighter 6. John "Velociraptor" Guerrero and Jon "Catalyst" Grey speculated on G's impact on the game as well as what they thought would happen regarding characters like Ryu and Sagat. If you're into the story of fighting games, … Continue reading Luke, He Is Your Father →
