Re: Nicah
Dear friend I was the owner of Nicah, but I deleted the e-mail on which I had that account. And I don't remember my wikia account password. So please, tell me if the wikia account will be deleted too


 * I wouldn't know. That's something you'd ask the admins of Wikia themselves. Also, nothing is necessarily stopping you creating another account. :v

Video Game Olympics
Hello, my name is Nic and I'm a member of the Wikia Development Team. We are going to be running a Video Game Olympics promotion, where we determine which game characters would be most suited to win certain Olympic events. A character from your wiki has been selected as one of the participants of this promotion. In order to promote this, we would like to add a participant badge to your main page in the top right column. Would you be willing to participate in this promotion? It's totally up to you whether or not you add the badge. Please respond accordingly. Thanks. - Wagnike2 (talk) 17:33, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

In regards to Satsuki's photo
Hi, it's Saides. Unfortunately, I seem to have forgotten my password, and I'm far too lazy to retrieve it, so this will have to suffice. I'm not sure how these talk pages work, so apologies if I do this incorrectly. As for the photo of Satsuki you linked, it was from Issue 9 of the Udon Street Fighter Comics, when Cammy is interrogating Satsuki after she was arrested. I hope this helps. 173.206.16.127 06:37, August 2, 2012 (UTC)

Troll
Hello, how are you doing today? Listen I'm sorry to be the one to give you bad news, but you have an inmature troll on your wiki called John2938, he's caused a lot of trouble on two of my wiki's, and he's already added a lot of gibberish to this one. Just a fair heads up. Casvic (talk) 20:52, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

Why are you undoing my editions? Is there anything personal of yours against what I am doing? I'm contributing to make the SF WIkia pages look like better, not vandalising them! So, I do not understand why do you undo my editions! The Vile (talk) 13:25, August 29, 2012 (UTC)The Vile

Re: Juri
Hi,

There was something on the Juri wiki I found questionable, but I thought I'd ask you before editing it. Under her SSFIV storyline, it says: "During the tournament, Juri is confronted by Cammy and Chun-Li, whom she easily defeats again. After humiliating the MI6 and Interpol agents, she leaves them to tend to her hidden agenda."

Not only is there no evidence that Juri actually defeated them for a second time within game, this is worded completely biased, likely by a biased Juri fan. I'd argue it's more likely that Chun-Li and Cammy won in game, since it's their rival match, not Juri's. Regardless, I think this should be taken out. Just thought I'd run it by an administrator first to see their opinion.

I'll leave him alone here to spare you and this wiki page the drama, but I didn't start it, I was pulled into it by my editors on my sites calling me to ban him, I know you've been there before. Now I'm trying to stop it before he goes to other sites to spare other people his BS. I know it's harsh and mean, but it's better that the kid learn it here then in the real world were it could get his ass kicked, trust me on that. Anyways sorry for the headaches.

Merging Ultra and Super Combos
I noticed that Gen's Zanei and Zatsuei, Balrog's Crazy/Violent Buffalo etc are written in the same article, since they are practically the same attack. I think we should merge all the Ultras that are essentially the same, but are named differently. Off the bat I can think of Cammy's Gyro-Spin drive smasher, Ultimate Killer Head Ram (Oni Muso Rege), Flash Explosion, especially Sagat's Genocide/Destruction. In SFxT, the movelist says Genocide, but he actually does the Destruction.


 * Honestly, I thnk that'll just make it all the more confusing. First off, the moves seem to be grouped that way not because they're exactly the same (which is untrue), but because they usually have more powerful variants (i.e. Crazy Buffalo and Violent Buffalo as you said). Secondly, the "base" variants have existed for a while before the Ultra Combos did.

I've considered separating them for the sake of convenience to the reader (third reason). I think it would help to make navigation easier for those who aren't exactly well-versed in the intricacies of each move's origin, or are new to Street Fighter lore in general - that is our target audience after all. What do you think? Lord Grammaticus (talk) 15:07, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Capcom Developer Interview
Hey Lord Grammaticus! My name is Doug and I'm a member of the Wikia's Community Development Team! To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Street Fighter, we have set up a developer interview with Capcom! A Capcom Developer will answer community-submitted questions here on the site! We are also planning on giving away a copy of the Collector's Set Box to a member on of community to celebrate.

I wanted to ask a few things from you: We were planning on doing a write up about Street Fighter and the last 25 years of fighting game history. Are you interested in filming a video segment of you talking about your connection with Street Fighter? Is it your favorite fighting games series? Who's your main and alternate characters? Any memorable matches? Things like that.

I'd like to ask all of the admins help in gathering questions and filming video segments. I'll go ahead and leave a message on the recently active admin talk pages.

I will be making a blog post to the community to ask for questions. Feel free to add any questions of your own! I know I'll be throwing a few in myself.

Any questions, comments, or concerns, let me know!

M. Bison vs epistemology
I don't know if I understand the rules for factual claims here. It looks like people are assuming they can combine different endings unless they have proof to the contrary. But this rule seems transparently wrong given how Capcom has treated endings in the past. (Ha, I'm not convinced Makoto and Gouken are even there in the main timeline. Evil Ryu certainly isn't.)

Vega/M Bison's article claims that "canonically, Bison is the winner of Seth's World Warrior tournament." How did people arrive at this belief? If we irrationally decide to combine his ending with Juri's, we see him planning to take Seth's fully intact Tanden Engine before Juri interrupts, and then we see her crushing the engine at her leisure. And while I could be missing something, I see no reason to think Guy's ending takes place near S.I.N. headquarters unless he killed Seth. (Guy's storyline seems internally inconsistent unless some such urgent mission took him away from Rose while Vega/MB attacked her.)

Also, a seemingly intelligent source elsewhere claims that V/MB and Shadowlaw are still around at the time of Street Fighter III. His article calls this likely. Why? Is that intended to be a factual statement, or should I see it as more a request of Capcom? Harry Figment (talk) 00:33, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can't say; I'm not that much of an expert when it comes to the storylines, and I simply haven't had the time to fact check everything (given that the wiki in general needs an overhaul of sorts). I will take a shot at that as soon as this weekend, hopefully. Though, it helps to remember that this wiki isn't the end-all be-all when it comes to Street Fighter. If you see anymore discrepancies of this sort, mention it on the talk page, and feel free to let me know if you wish. I'll address it as soon as possible.

Videos on this wiki
Hey There - I wanted to just get in touch with you about videos on this wiki. I noticed there are lots of videos here and wanted to ask some feedback on videos on your wiki. Why the community likes to add them? What other types of videos you would like to see? What Wikia has done well? And what else you would like to see in relation to video on Wikia? Thanks in advance! --Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:56, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

Twitch TV Embed Interest?
Hey there Lord Grammaticus,

My name is Jorge and I'm on Wikia's Community Development team. I actually want to reach out to gauge your wiki's potential interest in embedding some Twitch TV content. I'll also contact admin Evilsbane.

To give some background, Wikia is interested in working with Twitch to get some native embeds for interested wikis. Twitch provides live-streaming of games, from simple lets-plays to massive tournaments and competitive events. Embedding could allows users to easily find streaming content or get together to chat about particular events. If the wiki is interested, you could also have you very own wiki channel/group to stream content to users, make your own show, etc. I think any of these could work really well with Street Fighter, particularly to cover pro-matches.

Do you think this is something the Street Fighter wiki community might be interested in? If so, how would you like to use it (home-page embed, its standalone page with just links or an actual embed? something else? Producing your own show? Etc.) Either way, let me know your thoughts by leaving a message on my talk page. Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 22:14, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Hi!

Trivia
HOW COME YOU DELETED MY FACTS FOR. KEN IS SIMILAR TO HE MAN. BALROG IS SIMILAR TO MIKE TYSON,BECAUSE OF HIS PUNCHES.I JUST WANT TO BE A STREET FIGHTER FAN AND TYPE THIS STUFF, SO I CAN THANKED AND REMEMBERED.


 * In the cases of Ken and Balrog, the trivia was already in the article. Though facial similarities shouldn't be hard to remember, you'll find those tidbits if you look properly. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 22:14, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Bison
I know it would be better to correct it, but I'm a bit nervous about adjusting Bison's personality profile, as I hold such contempt for him (and not just because he's evil) that I'd probably fill it with words such as "idiot," "unoriginal," "stupid," "reckless..." You see where I'm going with this? To me, Bison is a deluded fool who should be laughed at rather than feared or seen as a bad-ass or Magnificent Bastard.Pyromania101 (talk) 06:35, October 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I rather dislike Juri in terms of character design, but you don't see me shitting up her article. It's a matter of priority - hating a character shouldn't stop people from being constructive when editing. All you have to do is just put the bias to the side temporarily.

Background image
Hi Lord Grammaticus. I'm Joe from Wikia. I see that you're the only currently active admin, so I wanted to reach out to you about this minor issue. I noticed that the wiki's background consisted only of a small version of the Street Fighter logo that appeared once in the upper-left corner. With the recent change to the Wikia skin, that logo was being halfway covered by the global header (Wikia logo, 'Start a wiki' button, etc.) which now extends the full width of the browser window. So all you could see was a black background and part of the word "FIGHTER" in the corner. I just uploaded a new background that uses the same logo, but repeating (tiled) and with a very low opacity, so that the background still generally appears black as it has for the last 2+ years. If you'd like me to make a different background, let me know. Keep up the good work!

Apostrophes
To tell the truth, I don't employ unicode apostrophes, but they appear after I publish my edition of a page. The reason I use the simple apostrophes is: I still don't understand why it's preferrable to use, for example, Blanka's instead of simply Blanka in an article. Which is the difference (other than the merely grammatical one)? What exactly makes the latter "more appropriate" than the former? Thanks a lot if you could explain me and why of it!

Whole Bunch of Stuff on the Characters Page
1) The Tekken characters were introduced to the Street Fighter franchise as part of Street Fighter x Tekken. The game is part of the Street Fighter franchise (unlike the upcoming Tekken x Street Fighter, which is part of the Tekken franchise), and the characters were incorporated into the overarching Street Fighter plot through videos such as this one.

2) Furthermore, if you want to say the Tekken characters in that game are not Street Fighter characters, you would have to take off all the Final Fight characters and Ingrid since they debuted elsewhere.

3) The way you took care of the "Final Fight thing" didn't really fix anything as it left an error message at the bottom of the page since that page doesn't support footnotes.

LoveWaffle (talk) 05:58, November 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for brining this up.

I'll give the first two points a good thinkover and figure out what we can do regarding that. Thank you again for bringing this to my attention. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 06:24, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) It's a crossover; two completely different series of games interact. Every crossover has some semblance of a story, usually seperate from each of the main series' plots; that doesn't mean either series' characters are a part of the other series.
 * 2) The Tekken characters haven't made any appearances outside of the crossovers, while the Final Fight cast was woven into the events of the main Street Fighter series, and have made more than one appearance.
 * 3) That was a mental oversight more than anything; I forgot to add the references section, which is easily remedied.

Are you looking for confirmation of the Super Street Fighter II birth years?
I noticed a user was posting birth years for the Super Street Fighter II characters. It looked like you wanted confirmation of a source for said birth years.

I looked up/found this stuff on GiantBomb. It seems to be Bios/Profiles of the Street Fighter II Special Championship Edition characters! I haven't found the Cammy, Dee Jay, Fei Long and T.Hawk Bios/Profiles but I know they do exist. I remember them. They looked just like this too! These Bios/Profiles would show up in a Attract screen-kind of way!

Adon's aligment
Hello mister, sorry to bother you but you know that Adon is a antagonist do you? Because he is a complete psycho, during his second ultra combo "Jaguar avalanche" he laughts like a maniac when he is inflicting pain on his oponents, oh and he also wants to kill his own master Sagat, that is realy evil dont you agree?

Hey Grammaticus I have spent some time editing the Abigail page and adding new pictures. However when editing the appearance and history i forgot to log in DOH! So that was me as well as the pictures
