"Little theory about Garuda" , posted Mon 4 Mar 18:14

I know it I know it!!
I know who Garuda is!!!
He's... RETSU!! Yeah!

Now that the excitement is down, allow me to explain.

I'm writing a little fanfic/storyline about Street Fighter, it involves SF1, SF ex, SF Alpha/Zero 3, SSF II Turbo and SF III Third Strike.
What I'm trying to do, is to make some kind of historic timeline (composed of official info and original moments made up by me), and as you can see, I've put the EX tournament as well, but I'm goin to take it as "unoffical" tournament, same with the Zero/Alpha one.
Now that you know that, I was thinking on who Garuda could be, and what were his intentions of organizing a tournament after Sagat's one...
And I was thinking, what if Garuda is Retsu?? We all know that he was one of the students that trained with Gouken, he was training with Ryu, Ken and Dan.
We all know that he was nothing like Ryu or Ken in SF 1, and that's why I got this idea: Garuda is Retsu, because after his pathetic performance in the first SF tournament, and his humilliation at the hands of Ryu, he was wondering why he didn't get that kind of power, after all, he trained on par with him...
He saw the final battle between Ryu and Sagat, and he witnessed the awakening of Satsui no Hado Ryu (Evil Ryu) when he defeated Sagat.
After that, he, somehow, awakened the same power as Ryu and Akuma, but he couldn't control it like Akuma did, and the power took his body.
He uses his power to animate his armor, that explains why if he has the same training as Ryu and Ken, he doesn't share their techniques and moves.
He organized the ex tournament in order to lure Ryu and Akuma to...

Well, I think that will be all for now, I want to hear your opinions, what do you think about my little theory?

I would like to dispute that part.

There is nothing that prooves that Retsu & Dan ever trained with Ryu & Ken other than the fact that they are similar in fighting style, but Retsu only uses normal moves that don't mean much, and Dan had to have that style because he was made to show Ryo Sakazaki what the art of fighting should really be like!

But Dan study with sensei Gouken. But I do not finish its studies beacause was expelled by sensei because it studied the Shotokan Karate with the objective to take revenge of the death of its father.

It's a sound idea, and does make sense. So I say go with it!

Interesting theory...
But I always thought Garuda might had something to do with Bishamon from Vampire/Darkstalkers. Maybe it's Retsu wearing Bishamon's cursed armor!

That's what I always thought.

Retsu sounds like a pretty good theory. Don't see nothing disagreeing. Who knows,maybe one day Capcom will spill the beans on some of the old SF characters.

Uh, well, I have more than enough reasons to believe that those two were training under the guidance of Gouken, alongside Ryu and Ken...
BUT, even if that's not official, I just stated that I was going to use official and "original" data for my story.

By the way, I think Joe is... Jill!! ha ha, I'm joking only about that!

Actually, Retsu is a good friend of Gouken's, not a student^^ And his fighting style is Sholinji Kempo (forbidden techniques of it, which got him booted from the temple). He didn't train with Ryu and Ken, but he did know them since he was Gouken's friend. These are official statements, but you can figure out Retsu's sholinji kempo by his outfit as well as his background. And... he's too old to be Gouken's student :P
