For the benefit of those who have never played SFA3,
here are the "concepts" for all 31 fighters, straight
from the intros in the game. A lot of them are
different from the backgrounds listed in the SF books,
and show a person just how varied Street Fighter
concepts can be. I appologize in advance for the
format, as I am unable to upload anything to the Files
section of the group's list. In addition, I have
included a character's Japanese Name (i.e. what
they're called in Japan) for reference.
