***** Actually I think that zero is word in Japanese... I've seen a bunch of different manga/anime where "Zero" is part of some thing's name, (for example, the ultimate attack of Saito from RurouniKenshin is "zeroshiki"), the main Japanese fighter plane in WWII was referred to as the Zero, etc.

******* There's something problematic about this theory though, there hasn't been any considerate evidence that Gen has infact died as the guide claims. Even in the Japanese dialog things seem rather similar on a whole, but there doesn't appear to be an entire alternate plot in regards to S.I.N.'s plans.

**** We may never know, but, he does seem to share similarities with "David" the agent in the red tie and same colored pants. "Similar taste in clothing" indeed. Also, when you do a crouching hard kick or a jumping medium kick, you can see the skin above his gray socks, his skin is brown.

to:

* What did Go Hibiki practice prior to his death and why did Dan not [[TakeUpMySword assume the mantle]] thereafter? Dan started the Saikyo-Ryu dojo in order to train himself to fight against Sagat after Gouken refused to train him for such reasons but wouldn't it make more sense to beat Sagat using the style his father used as proof he was the rightful heir? The UDON comics even show Go Hibiki as the dojo master of some martial art so it's at least reasonable to assume he was an accomplished practitioner up until he was killed.

to:

* How does Dan survive getting beat up almost every day? It seems that every time he challenges someone, he winds getting serious injuries that would normally kill a normal person. In the UDON comics he was even shown recovering ''in the hospital'' after his fight with Sakura, wrapped up in bandages.

* Why did Metro City, Guy, or Hagger do nothing to help free Cody from his unjust stay in prison?(I read that he was framed)

* Why did Metro City, Guy, or Hagger Haggar do nothing to help free Cody from his unjust stay in prison?(I read that he was framed) framed)
**If I remember correctly,Cody was initially framed for beating up Poison (Final Fight's Token Female enemy along with Roxy.) by Edi.E, the corrupt cop boss from the original Final Fight. Being in prison, plus losing Jessica as his girlfriend, he began to develop an addiction to fighting; I believe that on his first offense, Haggar did free him, but after the third or so time, he began to give up and simply appealed to have him moved to a minimum-security penitentiary. The fact that he repeatedly spring himself out of jail probably did not help. Most of this info comes from the UDON Comics, specifically Street Fighter Turbo #06, which is normally mostly canon.

* What are the standards of the various tournaments for how the contestants fight? Sure, maybe all of the ki blasts that so many characters do could be accepted since the blasts come from their own bodies, and Vega could get away with his claw if he fought in a division with weapons, but what about characters who carry concealed weapons (Geki, Ibuki, Viper, Cody), mess with the arena (Hakan), and other examples?
** If Vega fights a division with weapons, surely all the others can fight the same division.
** Juri's intro for ''Super Street Fighter IV'' says that Seth's tournament is 'no holds barred'. As in, ''at all''.

** It's possible for a tournament organised by English-speakers that they stipulate English to be spoken on the premises. More likely, however, is that TranslationConvention is in effect.

** The short version: In the absence of M. Bison the head of one of Shadaloo's weapon divisions, called Seth [[spoiler: who is one of Bison's spare bodies]] makes a power grab in the organisation and creates a weapon system called BLECE. For this, and augmenting his Tandem Engine that makes him so powerful, he organises a tournament that will bring suitably strong fighters to him. It works too well: Chun-Li, Guile, Cammy and Abel destroy his facility, Ryu destroys the BLECE project and either Bison or Juri (Seth's right-hand woman) kills Seth, depending on who you ask. For smaller details that don't make sense (the precise events of the ending do take some unpicking), my advice is to search around a little online. Wikipedia is your friend.

**** As someone who knows better and still says "Rai-you" it's simple. For many Americans with absolutely no idea how to pronounce anything in any language other than American English (seriously, listen to us mangle British English) it just rolls off the tongue much much easier than "Re-You" and "Roo" just sounds silly.
