Hello, @biachunli! Yes, they ARE actually saved in archive.org, just a bit harder to find than usual... Here you go. There are Side Stories about the newcomers of SFIV.
C. Viper "Her Names";
Abel "Before father's grave";
Rufus "Looking for the blonde";
El Fuerte "The super dynamic cook!";
Lauren (Viper's daughter) "Her Family";
Rufus & Candy "Rufus's treat".
I don't have the time to translate these atm, but I know you can do so yourself.

Of course it hasn't, it's BASED ON A WORDPLAY.
武神 Takegami (god of martial arts) can also be read as Bushin. Bushin ryū. They basically used 隆 Ryū (his name) instead of 流 ryū "style"...
 
It wouldn't.
Gobalsky wasn't a link to HnK's Gōda; rather, it was to Sakigake! Otokojuku's シベリアのゴバルスキー Shiberia no Gobaruskī, "Gobalsky from Siberia". He fought with his wolves and was a cowardly villain who then reformed after his defeat and became a comic relief when he enrolled in the Otokojuku.

 
Gobalsky himself was a parody of the boss/father of the Kiba clan in HnK,
 

who could turn his body into steel. Gōda could have influenced Zangief, but definitely not with his name.
Well, it's more complicated than that.
Cerdo in Spanish means "dirty", "slob", "pig". Its feminine form cerda also means... yeah, "slut".
Imagine a good Vulcano Rosso la Troia. Doesn't sound so good anymore, doesn't it? 🤣

It's defensive because you're attacking him, which... somehow should in itself prove you're right? Please explain that reasoning, since I don't follow it at all.

Anyone been paying attention to these?
 
 

Capcom and the attention to details.
 
 
Remember when on his character profile Capcom stated that Carlos is no longer using his "Wheel throw" (orig. 車輪投げ Sharin nage, "wheel throw", aka the classic Tomoe Nage from Jūdō) because doing it gave him backaches? Well, he's still doing it, just more on his right side... So the scabbard with the katana inside on his back doesn't hurt him anymore. 😆

Changing the subject (because holy crap, guys...), since there's a drought of Q & G content, I decided to get a commission of the very talented Otacat of my favourite Cryptid who fights in the Streets:

Just the fact that A.K.I. is all about being happy to do whatever her "master" says and idolizing F.A.N.G, while Juri couldn't be forced to take orders from someone else if it didn't align with her interests, let alone idolize, should tell a lot about how Juri and A.K.I. are pretty different characters outside of surface similarities.
 
The only thing they have in common is that they're Asian and evil ladies. Maybe the color palettes are pretty close, because they both have purple in their themes, but then again that's just a poison-coded color, and I don't think A.K.I. would have looked very good had they gone for the other poison-coded color which is green. There's already one green motherfucker who slides on the ground too much in this game.
 
Like, if Kolin had been Asian, would she have been considered Juri-adjacent as well?

Not... exactly.
Kasa has at least five different meanings, all written with different kanjis. The one they used in the original Japanese interview wasn't "umbrella" (傘 kasa) but the 笠 kasa for "HAT". Granted, it's the traditional Japanese hat which resembles an umbrella, but it's not the same thing.
