## Resource

This comprehensive overview of the Street Fighter franchise outlines the series' complex lore, spanning from the original tournament to the events leading into the latest games. The narrative follows the central journey of Ryu and Ken as they master the spiritual martial art of Ansatsuken while resisting the corrupting influence of the Satsui no Hado. A significant portion of the history details the rise and fall of M. Bison and his criminal organization, Shadaloo, which serves as a catalyst for numerous character motivations. The text also highlights how Capcom integrated the Final Fight universe into the series, establishing characters like Cody and Guy within the same timeline. Furthermore, the timeline explores the emergence of S.I.N. and the Secret Society, ancient or corporate entities that eventually replace Shadaloo as global threats. Ultimately, the chronicle illustrates how the franchise evolved from simple arcade matches into a vast, interconnected saga of legacy, redemption, and supernatural conflict. This episode includes AI-generated content.
