  1. Some more Arcade stories.

     

    Chun-Li's Story

     

    Spoiler

    Chun-Li's narrative begins with her introducing herself as an Interpol agent who has dedicated many years to the pursuit of the Shadaloo syndicate and its leader, M. Bison. With the combined efforts of numerous martial artists, Shadaloo was ultimately eradicated, and Bison's reign was brought to a permanent end. Following this achievement, Chun-Li takes a break from her work to teach kung fu in the city.

     

    Despite her sabbatical, Chun-Li recognizes that a martial artist is always on active duty and must not neglect daily training. She remains committed to maintaining her skills.

     

    Sometime later, Chun-Li senses the presence of Juri, who had been stealthily observing her. Demanding that Juri reveal herself, Chun-Li confronts her. Juri emerges and comments on hearing rumors of Chun-Li's retirement but acknowledges that her senses are still sharp.

     

    Chun-Li asserts that stealth has never been Juri's strong suit, so it comes as no surprise that she was immediately detected. Juri suggests engaging in an activity more suited to her style, leading Chun-Li to deliver a kick. Amused, Juri exclaims, "Oh, HELL yeah! That's the stuff! I was worried you'd be losing your touch!"

     

    Unimpressed by Juri's behavior, Chun-Li decides to walk away. However, Juri delivers an ominous message, implying that the threat might not be truly eliminated despite Bison's death. Chun-Li questions her about this, but Juri insists that she will only reveal the information if Chun-Li beats it out of her.

     

    Ultimately, Chun-Li fails to extract any additional information from Juri.

     

    Realizing that there may still be hidden dangers lurking in the shadows even after Bison's demise, Chun-Li acknowledges that she has no choice but to uncover the truth. She finally understands that she is indeed a workaholic, constantly driven to fulfill her duty and protect others.

     

    Juri's Story

     

    Spoiler

    Juri's story begins with her riding her motorcycle, filled with a burning desire to kill M. Bison, the man who took one of her eyes. However, before she could exact her revenge, Bison meets his demise.

     

    Surprisingly, his death intensifies Juri's rage, and she vows to obliterate him and his organization, Shadaloo, from the face of the world. She longs to annihilate him so completely that his corpse becomes unrecognizable, cursing him to rot in hell.

     

    Despite her best efforts, Juri finds herself consumed by anger and questions why she is so furious. In her journey, she encounters Chun-Li, an Interpol agent. Chun-Li confronts Juri, accusing her of finding ways to continue her evil deeds even after Shadaloo's downfall. Juri dismisses Chun-Li's words, considering her the last person who should be lecturing her.

     

    Juri sarcastically remarks to Chun-Li, "Bison bit it, and that's it? Daddy's avenged, time to retire?" Chun-Li responds by suggesting that revenge alone should not be Juri's sole purpose. She tells Juri that she, too, is one of Bison's victims and urges her to atone for her crimes and change her wicked ways. However, Juri mocks Chun-Li, claiming she has no intention of atoning for anything and challenges Chun-Li to provide a more compelling lecture if she expects Juri to learn something from her.

     

    Reflecting on her encounter with Chun-Li, Juri sits on her motorcycle near the water, gazing at a cat. The phrase "You, too, are one of Bison's victims" replays in her mind, fueling her deep-seated hatred for Chun-Li. Juri acknowledges her intense animosity towards Chun-Li, as she struggles with her inner turmoil and the choices she must make going forward.

     

    JP's Story

     

    Spoiler

    JP, seated on a throne, contemplates his schemes and the significance of Nayshall, a developing nation where he hosted a martial arts tournament. He admits that his primary motive for supporting Nayshall was to use it as a front for his money laundering operation. However, the tournament unexpectedly brought various individuals into JP's path—some seeking his acquaintance, others aiming to stop him, and some intending to manipulate him. He finds this convergence of people fascinating.

     

    During his time in Nayshall, a young woman named Kimberly arrives seeking answers about her uncle, who lost his life in the Nayshall terrorist bombing. JP, emanating a dark aura, confronts Kimberly and inquires if she is among those challenging him. Recognizing JP as "Johan Petrovic," Kimberly requests information about her uncle. JP, seemingly willing to comply, begins to share details with her.

     

    After the conclusion of JP's tournament, he reflects on the power of crowds, arenas, and prizes, realizing their allure and similarities to Bison's penchant for incorporating martial arts tournaments into his plans for world domination. Although JP finds this illogical, he starts to comprehend the appeal of such events. His laughter fills the room as his dark aura intensifies, engulfing him in red spikes.

    Kimberly's Story

     

    Spoiler

    Kimberly, in her room, reflects on a strange coincidence that led her to solve a mathematical formula on an internet forum. After completing it, she receives a direct message from someone named "Shaobing." They inform her about a code that combines the formula she solved with the Nayshalli language, which surprises Kimberly. Nayshall holds a personal connection for her as her uncle tragically lost his life there. The code she cracked becomes the catalyst for her quest to uncover the truth.

     

    As Kimberly embarks on her journey, she encounters numerous people and engages in countless battles. However, her focus remains on the person she believes is pulling the strings behind the events. Later, she is approached by JP, who Kimberly suspects has information about her uncle, Al Jackson, who used to work with  him. She confronts JP and demands to know everything about her uncle.

     

    After a fierce fight with JP, Kimberly emerges victorious but feels a sense of unease. JP cautions her about the danger of unwarranted confidence and surrounds himself in a dark purple aura. He advises her to forget what transpired and bids her farewell. Despite her victory, Kimberly realizes that she is not yet strong enough to face a formidable opponent like JP.

     

    In the aftermath, Kimberly acknowledges that she couldn't extract any information from JP. However, she realizes that she still has much training ahead of her to confront such a monstrous adversary. She reaffirms her determination and utters a Bushinryu mantra, emphasizing her commitment to further improve her skills.

     

    Dhalsim's Story

     

    Spoiler

    Dhalsim finds himself surrounded by fellow Yogis in training, introducing himself as a practitioner of Yoga. He acknowledges the changing times and the people who have lost their way, making it one of Yoga's purposes to guide them back. Despite his own internal conflicts and contradictions, Dhalsim resolves to continue fighting, using Yoga as his guiding force.

     

    During his travels, Dhalsim senses an incredible power that appears to have been dormant. Intrigued, he decides to investigate further. Through his teleportation, he arrives near Lily, a young girl from the Thunderfoot Tribe.

     

    Lily mistakes Dhalsim for a spirit due to his appearance and asks if he has a message for her. Dhalsim introduces himself as a monk and expresses his desire to understand her strength. Eager for a fight, Lily accepts the challenge.

     

    After their battle, Lily is amazed by Dhalsim's ability to float and compares him to a spirit. Dhalsim notes that the power he sensed earlier has disappeared. Lily suggests that Dhalsim should meet Singing Wolf, believing they would be on the same wavelength.

     

    Considering Lily's words, Dhalsim agrees to meet Singing Wolf, intrigued by the idea. He ponders the power he sensed earlier, which he believes may have been the Satsui no Hado.

     

    Dhalsim hopes that his initial perception was mistaken, as the thought of encountering such a dark force concerns him.

     

  2. Started doing write-ups on the Arcade stories. Here's a few.

     

    Ryu's Street Fighter 6 Story

    Spoiler

    Ryu's narrative begins with introspection about his quest for true strength. Throughout his journey, he has encountered a diverse array of fighters, including his steadfast friend and rival, Ken, who has been by his side since the very beginning. Other notable figures like Guile, Chun-Li, and Dhalsim have also influenced Ryu's path, saving him on numerous occasions as they traverse the same journey.

     

    In his pursuit of strength, Ryu has also came into contact with formidable adversaries such as Retsu, Sagat, Akuma, Bison, and Kage, to mention a few. At times, his most challenging opponent has been himself. Despite the countless obstacles, Ryu is resolute in his commitment to continue the never-ending journey, driven by the mantra of seeking those stronger than himself.

     

    Unexpectedly, Luke approaches Ryu, eager to engage in a fight with him. Puzzled, Ryu questions Luke's purpose in challenging him, wanting to understand the underlying motivation. Luke admits that his desire is simply to face someone more powerful than himself. Surprisingly, this reason alone satisfies Ryu.

     

    After witnessing Ryu's strength firsthand, Luke realizes that he requires further training. As soon as the fight concludes, Ryu departs without hesitation. Luke, wishing to capture the moment, attempts to take a picture with Ryu. However, he captures an image of Ryu walking  into the sunset--reminiscent of his Street Fighter 2 ending. Though different from his initial intention, Luke finds satisfaction in the picture he ultimately obtains.

     

    Ken's Street Fighter 6 Story

    Spoiler

    Ken's story begins with widespread news reports detailing his alleged involvement in criminal activities within the developing nation of Nayshall.

     

    Headlines proclaim: "Former National Martial Arts Champion Turned Terrorist! Alleged Funding to Anti-Government Extremists. Foundation Denies Involvement. Masters Steps Down as Foundation Director."

     

    Despite being arrested and accused of masterminding a terrorist bombing, Ken's connection to the Masters Foundation and their intent to aid Nayshall resulted in unforeseen consequences. Eventually, his name was cleared of any wrongdoing.

     

    Lost in thought, Ken gazes out of the window, the rain serving as a somber backdrop. He acknowledges that life cannot simply revert to how it was before the incident. Ken's motivations for fighting have undergone a complete transformation. The reasons that once fueled him are no longer the same.

     

    Suddenly, a voice interrupts his thoughts: "Well, well... Look who it is, the former national champion." It's JP. JP inquires if the thrill of combat still invigorates Ken, expressing fascination with the idea. JP proceeds to suggest that Ken should let go of the events in Nayshall and fully immerse himself in the ecstasy of battle once again. As those words pierce Ken's mind, he clenches his coffee cup, crushing it.

     

    Realizing that he can't move forward until he resolves things with JP once and for all, Ken wrestles with the idea of taking vengeance for JP's actions. However, he grapples with the uncertainty of whether he can truly cross that line."

     

    Cammy's Street Fighter 6 Story

    Spoiler

    "Cammy's story begins with a phone conversation between her and Juni. Juni expresses concern about Cammy's intense focus on her work, which has led her to neglect basic things such as eating. However, Cammy assures Juni that it's not as extreme as before, as she now has people in her life who look out for her. Reflecting on their conversation, Cammy acknowledges the cat charm that Juni gave her, inscribed with the words "Thinking about you," which she keeps hanging from her phone. She expresses gratitude to Juni once again and receives well wishes for her work.

     

    Cammy remains unconvinced that Shadaloo has been completely eradicated. The increased difficulty in uncovering any remnants of Shadaloo suggests that something is happening behind the scenes. Her investigation leads her to a mysterious individual named JP. Inquiring about Shadaloo, Cammy confronts JP, who denies having any knowledge of it. As JP prepares to leave, Cammy senses a familiar yet malevolent power emanating from him—Psycho Power. Determined to extract information, Cammy demands that JP reveal what he knows or she'll use force to make him.

     

    Later, Cammy lies in bed, contemplating the recent encounter. Although JP managed to get away, it is evident that he possesses information about Shadaloo. Frustrated by the lack of answers, Cammy finds herself surrounded by mounting uncertainties. However, inspired by Juni's support, Cammy realizes that this fight extends beyond herself; it is a battle for the sake of her sisters. This realization strengthens her resolve, assuring her eventual triumph."

     

    Guile's Street Fighter 6 Story

    Spoiler

    Guile's tale commences with a sparring session alongside Luke, engaging with younger fighters like Luke helps Guile maintain his sharpness. However, his true intention is to discuss the events in Nayshall with Luke. Guile inquires about Ken's involvement, and Luke assures him that Ken is undeniably innocent.

     

    Ken had no connection to the terrorists and was framed after attempting to support Nayshall's development. This led to Ken's resignation from the Masters Foundation and his subsequent disappearance from the public eye. Guile believes that Ken wouldn't simply vanish without reason, prompting him to embark on a search to find his brother-in-law.

     

    Eventually, Guile tracks down Ken in a back alley in Metro City. Ken, wearing a hoodie, aims to remain inconspicuous and observe events from the shadows. Ken expresses displeasure at being found, remarking, "What's the big idea? You come here just to scold your loser of a brother-in-law?" However, Guile's purpose isn't to scold him but to engage in a conversation... with his fists.

     

    After the fight concludes, Guile informs Ken that Eliza is worried about him. Despite hearing this, Ken remains unwilling to return to his normal life at the moment. Guile suggests that Ken can let go of the Nayshall incident now that the truth is known and he was cleared of any wrongdoing. However, Ken is uncertain about his current purpose in fighting and feels the need to resolve his personal issues before showing his face to anyone. Ken asks Guile to leave him be and walks away.

     

    Guile acknowledges that Ken doesn't want his help, but he is now determined to take matters into his own hands. If someone like Ken Masters has been pushed to the brink, investigating the Nayshall incident becomes all the more crucial.

     

     

  3. This is mad random, but I thought it was interesting.

     

    So I was playing X-Men Vs Street Fighter and completed the game with Sabretooth. 

     

    His ending from the US Version:

     

    Ph2zmVK.gif

     

    35RivWB.gif

     

    uJCaJVW.gif

     

    Gr56Qh6.gif

     

    tkSFlZA.gif

     

    aRKk6mZ.gif

     

    Pretty straightforward. Birdie says Sabretooth has defeated everyone. Most would assume she's referring to Ryu, Nash, and Chun-Li.

     

    This is completely different in JPN.

     

    AXsw1vi.png

     

    2Y3c9tH.png

     

    JS5148K.png

     

    wUU5VDn.png

     

    Wolverine has no lines at all. He has a line in the US version. I noticed this when playing through the JPN version and not seeing his name come up.

     

    Also, Birdie is trying to get in contact with Sabretooth during his ending. She basically tells him how things have been taken care of, and then Sabretooth tells her to shut up so he can focus on Wolverine.

     

    AAC also says while Sabretooth was preparing for his showdown with Wolverine, Birdie had subjected Ryu, Nash, and others (Chun-Li) to a blood sacrifice.

     

    So Birdie took out Ryu, Nash, and Chun-Li with her machine gun in Sabretooth's ending. Crazy.

     

    Just another example of how a different translation can change an ending entirely.
