![]() ![]() Yun and Yang though were basically treated as the new kids on the block in SF3 (and later SF4). The drunken dancing fighter appears to idolize Yun and Yang and "aspires to the example" set by the Twin Dragons according to his official character bio. Jamie is the only newcomer that's been officially revealed for SF6 thus far, and he also has a strong connection to previous characters from the franchise. We do have one more piece of evidence that also supports a jump of this magnitude taking place. This 6–10 year hypothesis does make sense with what Capcom is seemingly trying to do with the franchise now by introducing a brand "new generation" of fighters beyond the previous bunch that were already given that title. That would be quite the massive jump for the series considering most of the events in the story up to this point have taken place over like a decade. Using those numbers, we can get a relative picture of 6–10 years passing between the end of Third Strike and Street Fighter 6 (assuming our estimation is correct). The girl in the SF6 trailer appears to probably be in the 14–16 year old range. Judging by her appearance in SF5 and SF3, we believe Li-Fen to be around 6–8 years old during those games. It'd certainly make sense that she'd wear the twin buns and try to emulate the woman who saved her and likely helped raise her, so let's go with that.Īgain unfortunately, Capcom has never really provided an official age for Li-Fen before, but her being a child is easier to ballpark than the adults. ![]() The yellow tips on the end of her shoes are also in a very similar pattern to the designs seen on Chun's classic dress and Alpha costumes. Outside of her skirt, the girl's outfit draws entirely from Chun-Li's classic costumes of blue, yellow and white with the youngster leaning more heavily into the white as her primary color. ![]() What makes us believe the young lady in the SF6 trailer is Li-Fen comes down to her sharing a bunch of design motifs with Chun herself. Li-Fen is the child Chun-Li rescues during the events of SF5's main story and also appears in the SF3 titles where she's kidnapped by Urien and then trained in martial arts under the strongest woman in the world. We don't have any confirmation yet as to her identity, but there's plenty of signs pointing to the girl very likely being Li-Fen. Our biggest clue to potentially piecing together this puzzle came from the short piece of the SF6 gameplay debut trailer where Chun-Li is "battling" against a teenage girl. Unfortunately, we haven't seen Mel yet in the SF6 footage (that we know of), so we'll have to go with another familiar young face to try and figure this out. That lets us know that SF3 generally takes place about 3 years after SF4, and then SF5 likely is 1–1.5 years before SF3 given his appearance in the story of that game. Using Ken's son Mel for example, he was just born in Street Fighter 4 but 3 years old around the start of SF3 (and turns 4 by the end of Third Strike). Using the adults in this case doesn't really help narrow down the timeline all that much because they're somewhat at the whim of character designers and modelers, so instead we're going to be looking at the youth in the next generation. Is that a 5-year difference though? 10 years? 15 years? The returning characters we've seen thus far like Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile and even Luke have been visibly aged up from where they were in SF3 and SF5. With a franchise like this that plays hard and loose with details like dates and ages, getting a concrete gauge on time in Street Fighter is pretty difficult although not impossible. ![]()
