[edit] Category

Every article should be categorized, and in my opinion, this article should be in the Category:Street Fighter characters. --surueña 10:13, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)

[edit] Featured List

All this article needs is sources and it could probably be a Featured List candidate. Kariteh 13:16, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Doubt it, this type of article shouldn't even be in Wikipedia but one of its sister-projects as it consists only of tables. Ashnard Talk Contribs 19:02, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
It's not an article, it's a list. See List of Nintendo 64 games and List of Virtual Boy games for instance. Kariteh 19:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
My mistake. Sorry. Ashnard Talk Contribs 06:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I took the Initiative and added the SF IV section and put a yes under Akuma.

Is this a good start? If anyone takes doesn't like it, they can revert it back before I continue with it. Wingedregent (talk) 02:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Is Akuma confirmed for SF4? I haven't seen mention or screen shots of him yet. The Wikipedia entry for SF4 also doesn't mention him yet. Do you have a source? Jeremyh113 (talk) 21:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Article for SFIV had him on the list for awhile, possibly due to someone saying they read that bit of info in the same Famitsu Issue that showed Crimson Viper for the first time. I put him as "yes" since it seems that more than a few people have reported reading that same fact from translating some of the text. Wingedregent (talk) 21:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd wish Ono would just tell us whether akuma is in it or not because I am starting to get pissed off about it. Lasttiger (talk) 09:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Added Missing Street Fighter 4 Columns and Known Fighters

I added the column "IV" to each of the tables on this page and marked the known fighters for that game based on the entry on the Street Fighter 4 Wikipedia page. I noticed somebody already marked Camy as "yes" for Street Fighter 4, but it doesn't seem to be confirmed yet from either the Wikipedia entry or famitsu screen shots ( http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1213478_1124.html ). Can anyone provide a source? Jeremyh113 (talk) 21:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Several unimportant characters don't have their articles, however, some still do. I propose that they be merged here. FightingStreet (talk) 18:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Some of the characters you deemed unimportant such as Gouken and Goutetsu are important. Other characters such as Sawada and Urien aren't. I say keep Goutetsu, Gouken, and all the Alpha characters articles and improve them and merge the SF3 characters. --Ryu-chan (Talk | Contributions) 18:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

You should know my stance by default: expand what you can, then consider merging. A lot of these character pages could be done better. A few of these though should be merged, but not on the grand scale you're wanting to propose (i.e. Yun and Yang, seriously? The brothers appear in plenty of games out of anyone else in SF3)

The mess made after the last group of mergings you did is still being cleaned up FightingStreet :P--Kung Fu Man (talk) 05:08, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I think Alex (Street Fighter) should be merged into Street Fighter III. FightingStreet (talk) 11:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Possible. He is involved a bit more in the past SF than the others at least (i.e. punching out Balrog) and there's the fact he was the "hero" of the series. His only appearance however was CFJ, which really did nothing at all for his storyline. No problem here if he's merged in the end.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 12:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Expanding on that a little and looking over the articles, the SF3 ones I would recommend to keep separate still are Ibuki's, Gill, Urien, Hugo, Sean, and Yun & Yang. The others just don't have enough info available to really go with full articles. A sub-list might be better than footnotes on the SF3 page like some of the pages currently are, but I leave this to your discretion.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:03, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Don't mean to intrude, but is there any chance that we're gonna end this nonsense and get back on our merry way? FightingStreet's gone (unfortunately, good luck to him), so I thought that this proposal is no longer legit. --ZeroGiga (Contact) 3:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I vote for keeping ALL characters in one article. I like Street Fighter as anybody else, but I don't deem it encyclopedic in any way of the word. If there's a need for articles on the characters — which I don't think so since the articles I have seen are mostly a compendium of trivia — I vote for having everything neatly in one place.--23:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cammy T.Hawk and Dee Jay

Should be placed under console maybe. Since there is a chance Fei Long is in the console version, I am almost certain the other 3 will be for the console as well, If Fei Long makes the cut that is, but he will probably be in it even if the designers didn't intend to put him in the game so fans won't get upset lol. Anyway, does anybody object to this theory?Lasttiger (talk) 00:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Just wait till something's officially confirmed. That's the best that can be said here. It's hard to tell who'll be in with Ono.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, perhaps your right. But I am almost certain if Fei Long makes the cut, Cammy, T.Hawk, and Dee Jay will join as well but I have no source to prove that so I'll just leave it alone for now.Lasttiger (talk) 02:16, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
