You can't directly link to GameFAQs FAQs from off-site. I think you mean the bottom FAQ here?

[Johnny Undaunted]

That FAQ isn't really that accurate, but whatever.

[Shin Johnpv]

there was a site that had the offical cannon on it too not sure if its the same as that faq

http://www.tekken.nu/fightermania/sf/sfplotguide26.htm

Thats ALOT of info.
SF would make a killer trivia contest.

There wouldn't happen to be something like this for the KOF series?

i doubt you spent more than 3 minutes looking over that faq(which is the same canon thing that John posted) and just dismissed it like all of these elitist noobs do.

From what I read, it seemed to take in as much as they could, though there was vagueness all over mainly due to Capcom's fault. Been reading it, there's so much to take in and go over, I've been skipping huge chunks that don't interest me too much. Quite interesting.

They did screw up on the reason why Street Fighter 2010 got changed, though, but that's so insignificant who really cares?

That was uncalled for.

I seen that FAQ before and while it's nice attempt to clear up the confusing Street Fighter continuity, there are some mistakes, but then again, nobody's perfect. For starters, Final Fight takes place in 1989 (according to the Japanese intro) and not 1987, while FF2 is set in 1993, around the same time as the SF2 tournament (Haggar is four years older than he was in FF1). There are a few more mistakes in that file, but I disgress.

Erm, Johnny, you accidently proved his point. The FAQ explains why Final Fight has to take place in 1987 according to what Capcom's said.

Capcom's done lots of retro-rewriting and time placement, and that FAQ goes over all that and why certain things are the way they are and how things should be according to Capcom's latest statements.

1989 is the date given in all of the Japanese versions of Final Fight (it was used way before 1989) and it makes perfect sense with the character's ages and birthdates. And in FF2, it is stated that Guy was in a training. of course, it is also stated that Genryusai was Guy's master, which is later contradicted by the introduction of Zeku in SFA, so I'm not sure. Of course, FF2&3 are never actually referred in the SF games (only FF1), so it seems like those two games neve happened in the SF-universe(Maki's appearance in Capcom vs. Snk 2 doesn't count, since the VS. are nothing but fan-services). I do not claim to be an authoritive figure of everything Street Fighter, so I may be wrong on a few things. In the end it doesn't even matter. Nobody plays Street Fighter for it's storyline and Capcom realized this by the time SFA3 came out.

The only way to make sense out of the whole SF continuity is by having a copy of the All About Capcom Taisen Kakutou Games book.
