>:Chad to come with a few compromises but this is how I would put them.Gouken makes sense side by side with gouki, but gouki makes sense next to the older cast imo.
Markpachi said, December 01, 2013, 06:51:34 amWasn't Sheng Long a mistranslation of "Shoryuken" in SFII?Originally, yes. But then some magazine decided to troll the Street Fighter fandom by sending this to the printers:This eventually lead to Capcom getting "inspired" thus creating Gouken (who was already fucking dead in the timeline) and putting him in SF4.So in a sense Sheng Long is Gouken... though there is still fans (like me) who will debate that they are two separate entities. I'm not sure if Capcom has acknowledged whether or not Long actually exists in the SF canon. For all we know, we could be fighting a battle that is impossible to win.
5th character, according to rumours:- Female.- Related to SF.- Being able to swithch fighting styles(? not sure where I read this).- It has never been playable.-------------------My theory:Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyPandora. Why? According to SFZ3Upper, Ingrid's power is the source of both Psycho and Soul Power, mastered by Rose, Vega(Dictator), T. Hawk's grandfather(or father?), and Rose's and Vega's mistress(by Udon-NOT CANON! But Capcom now says that Udon comics are now canon, so WTF!). Also, her "essence" possesses fighters' bodies and souls(as seen in SFxT), so that could explain the fighting style switch.---------I know it's a lot of shit, xDD!
As much as I enjoyed the Udon comics, they can't be canon to the game, at least not all of them. They have Sagat working for Shadaloo before he lost his eye, let alone got the scar.
Nothing Udon does is canon, Capcom confirmed this some time ago.Not that I really care about what's canon in Street Fighter anymore.

Because Ingrid created Pandora according to the SFxTK comic.
So a rose type character then? It sounds cool in theory, but I feel like their execution is going to suck dick.
Well, don't take my words that serious...it's just a THEORY, not official confirmation or whatever(even it would be a good concept!).As SFxT comic said, Pandora is an Ingrid's creation, and it seems to be her "evil" energy or whatever. We're ok to that point. And...that's NOT OFFICIAL in capcom's canon. So...it's possible or not. It's as Karin in SFZ and CFJ...not coming from an official story but had the likes of Capcom.Anyway, what I thought was more a Mokujin-like character, since she "possesses" fighters during a brief time, darkening their skins, and etc,so, "taking" ther fighting styles would be possible.Now, let's center in what's confirmed: 5th character is a woman. Never playable. And it's related to the SF story.---> Let's theoryze:- Makoto was once belieft to be Gouken's daughter, what was erased to the canon and giving her another name family and all. May it be Gouken's daughter possessed by Pandora? Her background story could be parallel to Ryu's: a fighter learning from other fighting styles(hey hey hey!! she's learning another styles!!) because she wants to...avenge her dad and possibly defeat Ryu for the sake of it. I know, this is bullshit. BUT! was not Pandora to be suppossed to take everyone's worst wishes? tadáh!- This girl/woman NEEDS to be super-well related to the canon. Any of ShadowLaw DOLLS' are a chance, it's just...hair-swapping Cammy and few tweaks...Enero, Fèvrier, Marz, Aprile...they're kinda easy to translate if they keep the Cammy vibe.- FENG SHUI JURI: She seems to have defeaten Seth in SSF4 and ALL the power of the Tandem Engine lies in her eyeball. Maybe this could change her? Dunno. But if it's this, the truth about this 5th character would be 50% real: Juri WAS playable.These are all the stupids ideas I have. I'm 99% sure that none of these could be materialized in USF4, so...we'll have to wait!!
Quotewhat's confirmed: 5th character is a womanNope. Not confirmed, that's a rumor that popped along with the last one that was bullshit.QuoteTandem Tanden, not tandem.

By the way, when I say it popped along with the other one, I mean it popped around the same time, it wasn't directly part of it, so even though the last one was bullshit, it doesn't make this one part of it - but it was still a really random "leak" that was done in a similar style as the other (Facebook chat or tweet or whatever it was). It's not confirmed, it's a very vague rumor that is more likely to be false but that still has a chance.
