Eliza and Jane are sisters, which makes Guile and Ken brothers-in-law. That's another one of the 101 SF2 facts which is absolutely not shown at all during any of the games and can only be found in mooks and other sources like that.
Geki is not confirmed to be Vega's teacher at all, although lots of people like to believe he is. It's true that Vega/Balrog was in fact trained by a ninja, so lots of people think that ninja is Geki, though it's never been exactly officially stated. The two have completely different special moves in the games, though, so...
In general, there is very little official information on Geki at all (no mentions of any relations to Ibuki's clan members either). He's a character that Capcom just seemed to have completely forgot after SF1 (the other being Joe, I suppose).
Zero/Alpha is part of the official storyline. It was just handled by Capcom a bit sloppily. :P
Wow, Ken and Guile are brother's? =P nuts.
Though I still think that Vega being a ninja is rediculous. =P he's no more of a ninja than I'am. I guess they're just handing out that title lately. ¬_¬ hehe

Damn. Now that I look over some information conserning the Arcade version, the C64 game I played was a serious bastardization. Only a few characters had their special moves (most notably Geki's teleport and Birdie's headbutt) and the stage order was totally rearranged. On top of that, characters didn't have their own stages. They shared one of the character's background (Mike and Joe were both in the train yard for instance.) As far as I remember Sagat didn't even have his Tiger Shot; he just kinda attacked you in a spastic manner that was hard to deal with. The ending was great. "You are the King of the hill, but there will be people who will try to knock you down" or something like that. I gotta play the real Street Fighter somewhere. They used to have a cabinet at the community college near my house, but I never a chance to go since I was 10 at the time.
On another note, did Retsu, Joe, or Lee ever show up in another Capcom game? I know Geki has been more or less abandoned in favor of less stereotypical ninjas.
The real SF ending is much differt. After you beat a guy they say something like "You are good kid, but there are people like you all over the world" and EVERYONE says it. Sagat also seemed like how you discribed him. He lacked the Tiger Shot and he did this one Knee atack that didn't really seem like the tiger knee that killed you in three hits.
I heard Joe is supposed to be the guy in the Street Fighter 2 opeining demo in a street fight don't know which, but for sure not Super or Supper2Turbo.

| "Question about Vega/Balrog's name." , posted Mon 30 Sep 03:03
OK, here's my doubt:
His name in the original version is Balrog. But, Balrog is NOT a spanish name, believe me. Could Balrog be a nickname? I mean, he's a pschycopat assasin, so the "Balrog" from LOTR, being a powerfull demon, could fit him well. Also, he's still a respected noble, and nearly no one know about his double life, right? That could be another reason to have another name.

re: Sf1
To whoevers said otherwise: Sagat *does* have his Tiger shot in SF1, but only the high one. He has that as his only special move, unless you want to count his jumping knee (later his j.short) as a special as well.
> On another note, did Retsu, Joe, or Lee ever show up in another Capcom game?
No, no and no. Retsu's shown up in a piece of Alpha art, but Joe and Lee haven't been seen in any form since SF1.
obthisthread:
As has been stated, there's no evidence to suggest that Geki trained Vega/Balrog. If Capcom ever did bring Geki back, it could go either way. It wouldn't surprise me if they made it thus, if only so they could swipe some of Vega/Balrog's claw moves for Geki.
I think naming the character "Balrog" might have been part joke, part poignantsy (sp? Hell is this even a word?) on Capcom's part. They made Vega a beautiful character physically, but they named him after a monstrous demon, and he so happens to be pretty monstrous inside.
EDIT:
Oh yeah: That FAQ definitely consists of a lot of stuff the author made up (right from the time it said "Vega appeared and recruited Adon into Shadowloo"), so I wouldn't put to much faith in anything it says.

Vega* rules!  Spanish Ninja 4ever!
But he must be controlled with  and not with 
*well, Balrog in Japan
NOO! Vega is a charge character, and should stay like that! My Vega would be destroyed if he changed controls!
However, knowing Capcom, this isn't going to happen, sooo... 
Plus having some of Vega's moves switched from charge to command motions means that Capcom would probably go in and noodle with the priority on Vega's moves and I'd rather not have that happen. Besides, Vega's one of those characters who is all about playing in a way so that it isn't totally obvious that you have the joystick jammed into the charging down-back position for most of the match.
Yes, playing Vega is about dancing around your enemy, throwing pokes. Because of his better ones are crouch pokes, your opponent will never know when you're going for a dive or a flipkick. I only use the Rolling Cristal Flash in combos, so it doesn't matter if they see you charging, because they're going to eat it anyway ^_^
