SF2V did have some influence on the Game's story (Ryu being brainwashed and Nash's death in SFA3 is similar in some ways as his corpse is lost in a base riddled with explosives.) The cool thing about Capcom is they get lots of ideas from the Animes, Mangas and other sources and make it much cooler in their officcial storylines!
To me, that's not really cool though... sometimes it didn't make any sense against what they had previously said. However, they only really did that in the SFA and Vs. series, which I still maintain were never official canon, and more a means to sell those other products by trying to give those manga/anime stories credibility. I never see anyone in SFA referred to in SF3... no "satsui no hado", no Sakura, no dolls, nothing. Just Ryu, Ken, Chun Li and Akuma, who were all in SSF2T before SFA. And references to Lee and Gen are references to SF1. The only minor reference was one of Sean's winquotes: "Don't call me Dan!" And that wasn't even in the original Japanese version of SF3.

If Capcom treats it as official, it's official, I think. ^_^ Of course, as you demonstrate here, despite what a lot of people say, game storylines, especially the muddled fighting genre, are often open to interpretation from the "player", just like books or movies.
Besides, SNK does the "borrowing" from manga sources and the like frequently, too; A lot of what ends up being "canon" was originally just made up by some "fan boy", as people would say.

Does Capcom REALLY treat it as official, though? I know the players sure do, but it's not exactly up to them... and again, I have seen no specific references to the events in the SFA series made in later Street Fighter lore.

Any examples of this? I'm curious.

The only "later" SF was 3, and the reason there are no real Zero charas in it is because they tried to distance it as much as possible from the earlier series (This is the reason Alex was ORIGINALLY supposed to be the hero, and the only reason they ended up putting Chun Li in was because fans were angry)

90% of character's data, and most of the more "in-depth" aspects of the KOF and Samuspi storylines. Pretty much all SNK did was in the games. An example of something that is now considered "canon" is the whole SS time line. SNK has done nothing at all to indicate SS 3 and 4 come before 2; a large number of people insist it does, only because Nakoruru turns in to a nature spirit in the end. Of course, Japanese have a very different idea of spirits/kami than the people who are insisting it happened last; there is no reason she would not be able to have a physical form and not be a god (and besides that, the only reason the "evil Nakoruru" exists is because it split off from her when she became a spirit). Another fine example is Kaoru's existence, period. She started out in some manga, and ended up getting chucked in Athena's ending and later made a striker in 2000. Most of a fighting game's storyline is in people's minds; they create it for themselves. Let's face it, fighting games really have pretty crappy and poorly thought out storylines, which are generally confusing and contradictory.
