  Can't help but enjoy that there are 4 separate versions of "Ryu but evil", some of which are actually "Ryu but evil, but for real EVEN MORE evil".

  "Oni is banned" was actually true for the first two weeks of the SF4:AE release. Tournament organizers received early access copies of the game and were not allowed to show gameplay footage of characters that had not been fully announced yet. This led to the livestream chats being spammed with the phrase, because all the people joining the stream would ask why every player was skipping over Oni on the select screen.

  Can&apos;t believe you forgot Blanka. He trained under Dan and by lore reasons that makes him a lore shoto and you said your criteria was lore shotos.

  I am not a big shoto player, but the shoto archetype is probably my favorite. I just think it is really cool and interesting to see how the base shoto tool kit is modified to create new interesting characters. I think there is just something really satisfying about the Street Fighter fanchise&apos;s various takes on the Shoto formula.

  Even though she&apos;s not a shoto, makoto&apos;s fighting style is the closest one to actual shotokan karate in street fighter

  Sakura is definitely my favorite out of all of them. I grew up with Alpha, Puzzle Fighter, and CVS2, and Sakura was always my go-to character.

  I think part of Akuma being so constantly top tier is because in the lore hes such a boss dude. The low defence fits in perfectly with this backstory, almost to mimic his line of thinking which would be something like &quot;why do I need defence when I&apos;m so good your not even going to hit me?&quot;
