Let's start with the story. It's 20XX and much of Humanity has evolved into a race of super-powered people called Ultra Humans. So on Earth there are 2 Master Races: Ultra Human's (called Ultras) and Normal Humans (called Norms). There Are some racial tentions,but they mostly get along.
Anyway,Ryu Hoshi is a 25-year-old Ultra Martial Artist,who wants to be the greatest Fighter he can be. So he travels the globe looking for strong and/or unique opponents to fight,hoping to gain both experience and strength.
On his travels,Ryu meets a host of some of the most unique fighters,all of them Ultras, like himself. Fighters such as Edo Honda,a Sumo Champion from Okinawa,who's living in Kyoto; Chun-Li Xiang,an Interpol Agent originally from China, now living in the US; William Guile,a Colonel in the United States Air Force; Ken Masters,Ryu's Best Friend and Rival from America; and M.Bison,the Satanic Master of Shadowloo,an evil organisation with a hard fetish for money and power. His goal is to enslave the Norms and rule the Earth as the God of all Ultras.
Ryu would've run into M.Bison during his journey.
Now,let's talk more about the characters. Ryu's mission in life would've been mostly the same as it was in the games,however,the early part of his Backstory would've been different. Plus,He would've been an Ultra.
Ryu was brought to Gouken's Dojo in Okinawa by his Mother,who didn't have the means to raise her infant Son. Gouken,being a good friend of the Woman,decided to take the boy in and raise him as his own. Knowing who Ryu's father really is,Gouken decides to keep that part of Ryu's past a secret from him,until he is ready. He also struggled with the Dark Hadou later.
Ken Masters' Backstory is almost the same as Capcom's Universe. The only exceptions being that his Mother was to be 1/4 Japanese (as opposed to be full or half japanese,as in the games) and that Ken himself was an Ultra. His father was the 5th richest man in the World and the 2nd richest in the U.S. As a Kid,Ken was an dilinquent,who had little control of his powers. He was brought to Gouken's Dojo to learn how to control his powers and to learn how to be a better person. He meets and trains with Ryu as Gouken-Sensei's only students. The 2 become rivals,and then later,best friends.
Chun-Li's backstory was mostly the same as Capcom's,except that She would've been tought Tai-Chi by Street Fighter 1's Lee (who,happened to be her uncle,in this universe). She would've learned Kung-Fu from Gen(who is a former assasain). And Yes,she's an Ultra too.
Guile's backstory would've remained the same as his Capcom counterpart's. He's was an Ultra as well.
Dhalsim was once a Bio-Geneticist working for the University of Calcutta. He left the field in protest,when he found out that Shadaloo was funding his research. Trying to distance himself from his past,Dhalsim became a Hindu Monk. Soon after his Temple was taken over by the Indian Government,Dhalsim bought some land,using some inheritence money that he saved up,and created a village for those who were homeless. He lived there with his wife and newborn son. Due to the land being privatly owned,the Govermant couldn't seize it. Dhalsim is an Ultra,as well.
Blanka (known as James Blanka in this series) was a Liutenent in the Brazilian Air Force,and was great friends with Charlie Nash and William Guile. Like Guile and Nash,Blanka is an Ultra Human,who's powers involve electricity. During a routine flight,Blanka's jet experiences technical difficulties and crash-lands into contaminated (by shadaloo's toxic dumping) Brazilian waters. The Toxic chemicals transform Blanka into a Wild ManBeast,with amplified electric powers. Blanka,knowing that he can't live among men,leaves his old life behind and spends therest of his life in the Brazilian Jungle. Soon,Blanka is presumed dead by the Brazilian government. Soon, Blanka meets Dan Hibiki and the 2 become friends.
Honda,Zangeif,and Vega's backstories would've remained the same as Capcom's Universe. All 3 were Ultras. Balrog's full name would've been Mike Balrog. He's an Ultra as well.
Sagat's backstory would've been mostly the same as Capcom's,but he'd be named Viktor Sagat and would've been the youngest son of a Thai Warlord. He would've also been nicknamed "Big Daddy Muay Thai". When Go Hibiki destroyed his eye,Sagat killed him. He's an Ultra too.
M.Bison and Rose were once an Italian Ultra Human called Vin Vega,who sought the position of Pope. The Pope refused him the position,due to the the evil in his soul. Using his soul powers,Vin Vega attempted to eject the evil within,however the action split him into 2 beings: The Evil M.Bison and the one known as Rose. Rose and Bison abandoned their goal of becoming Pope and focused on different goals. Bison wanted to be Overlord of the World and Rose wanted to protect humanity. Both retained their amazing powers,though Bison's soul power was corrupted and renamed Psycho Power. Bison has the ability to transfer his soul into different bodies,Rose doesn't have that ability. The only way to kill Bison completely is to erase his soul.
Dan Hibiki was a Jackie Chan-esque Martial Artist from Hong Kong. He sought revenge against Sagat for killing his father,Go Hibiki,at the 1st Street Fighter's Tournanent (not street fighter 1 in this universe). He was the Master of Saikyo. He befriended Blanka during a tour of Brazil.
Cammy White was an Ex-Shadaloo General,working for M.I.6. Her backstory would've been unchanged from the games. She too was an Ultra.
Ultra Human's Gouken and Gouki were 2 brothers chosen by Goutetsu to be his students after witnessing their tremendous power. Goutetsu also chooses them,because of their personality opposites.
Goutetsu trains them both and encourages them to follow their own path and to use the assasain-based martial art (ansatsuken) however they wished. Gouki struggled with darkness within his soul fkr years,until eventually,he let it consume him. Gouken had no such darkness within his soul. Gouki,renamed Akuma,challenges and kills his Sensei,Gotetsu.
While Gouken is mourning his masters death,Akuma decides to search the Earth for super strong Ultra Humans to fight and kill. The 2 Bros. fight to a standstill. Years later,Gouken decides to continue his Masters tradition and train 2 Ultras of opposite character. Akuma,frustrated at finding the right opponent,decides to create a future one via breeding. He hooks up with a beautiful Shrine Maiden in Tokyo. They have a Son,who is born as an Ultra.
Akuma senses his newborn son's power and is not impressed. Disappointed in his Son and angry at the time he wasted,Akuma leaves the woman and child's life forever. Years later,Gouken trains Ryu and Ken. Gouken is killed by Akuma after the 2nd Street Fighter Tournament (street fighter 1 in this continuity).
Other characters such as Charlie Nash,Adon,Birdie,Sakura Kasugano,Gen,R.Mika,Karin Kansuki,Fei-Long,Dee Jay,T-Hawk,The Shadaloo Dolls,and The Final Fight guys would've been part of this series as well. In fact,Most existing Street Fighter characters would've made apperences.
Not only that,but this series would've introduced new characters exclusive to this Continuity. Most of the special moves,super combos,character personalities and looks,would've been retained from the games.
Anyway,let's talk more about the show itself. Street Fighter was planned to have 6 seasons,with 26 episodes/chapters per season. Each season would've been known as 'Rounds',while the episodes/chapters would've been known as 'Fights'. And there would've been atleast 1 fight per episode.
Each Season was to be comprised of Story Arcs. Season 1 would've had 5 Arcs. Here's what we could've seen. The 1st Arc of Season 1 was to star Sagat and would've followed him on his journey to the Street Fighter Championship. The Arc concludes with him losing to Ryu at the 2nd Street Fighter Tournament (again,that's street fighter 1 in this continuity). Stories for the other characters would've also been told. An adaption of Final Fight would've been part of this Arc too.
The next Arc of Season 1 would've been the 'Alpha Games' Arc and would've been adaption of Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold.
The next Season 1 Arc would've starred Ryu on his globe trotting journey,meeting and fighting interesting and powerful people. He also has run-ins with Shadaloo. Stories for other characters would've also been told.
The next Arc would've been an adaption of Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper. BTW,the 'Alpha Series' Tournaments were to be called "The Alpha Games".
The final Arc of season 1 would've had Ryu begin his struggles with the Dark Hadou. He'd also fight Akuma for the 1st time since the 1st Alpha Game. At the end of the final episode of season 1,Akuma would've revealed that he was Ryu's father.
The 2nd season (or 2nd round)'s first Arc would've seen Ryu's struggle with the Dark Hadou continue. He would've had another match with Akuma. Near the end of the Arc,Ryu expells the Dark Hadou from his body,which becomes a new entity. The Dark Hadou becomes an evil copy of Ryu,called Akuryuu. Akuryuu disappears after creation. Due to their connection,Ryu could sense Akuryuu spiritualy.
The next Arc would've been an adaption of the Street Fighter II Animated Movie. The Arc after that is another adaption. This time adapting Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
The 4th Arc of Season 2 would've seen Ryu continue his journey to become the best fighter he can be. Other characters would've had their own episodes,as well. Ken's Wedding would've also been part of this Arc. Shadaloo and Akuryuu would've served as the main villains for this Arc.
The final Arc of Season 2,would've seen the deaths of many at Akuryuu's hands..including Guile's family. M.Bison tries to recruit him. Akuma is also interested in Akuryuu. Ryu eventually finds Akuryuu and it would've been revealed that if Akuryuu dies,Ryu will die too. Akuryuu escapes,leaving Ryu alone. This would've ended Season 2.
Season 3's first Arc would've had Ryu go to Italy to consult Rose on how to kill Akuryuu without killing himself. The answer: He Can't. So Rose teaches him a Soul Power technique called the 'Demon Soul Capture Wave',which can be used to entrap evil spirits for all eternity. It's the Only technique that Rose hasn't been able to master. After getting a 'Sacred Urn' from Rose,Ryu searches for Akuryuu.
The end of the Arc has Ryu using the 'Demon Soul Capture Wave' on Akuryuu seals him away in the Sacred Urn. He then buries the Urn deep within the earth,where no one would find it.
The Next Arc introduces The Street Fighter 3 cast,as well as some of the guys from Street Fighter 4. Darkstalkers appear too.
The 3rd Season's next Arc would've been a Special Darkstalkers v Street Fighter arc.
Arc 4 of Season 3 would've been seen Ryu and Ken reminice about their roots and recall events of their past. This Arc would've also had an adaption of Street Fighter 1.
The Final Arc of Season 3 would've involved Ryu and Ken traveling the World together,seeking strong people to fight.
That's all we've got. Season 4 would've had a loose adaption of Ultra Street Fighter 4. There would've also been an Arc dealt with Anti-Ultra/Anti-Norm attitudes,leading up to the 'Norm vs Ultra' war,which would've been the focus of the following Arc.
Late Season 4/Early Season 5,would've introduced some of the Street Fighter 5 characters. And the first arc of Season 6 would've loosely adapted Street Fighter 5. The next-to-final arc would've been an adaption of Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.
The Series would've ended with Ryu walking off into the sunset.
And so there you have it,'Street Fighter 2017',or what would've been 'Street Fighter 2017'.
So,what now? Well,I'll be abandoning all original works based on famous franchises and just do straight-up adaptions,instead. Ruby-Spears Mega Man will be the Only exception to this rule. Also,I wanna put more focus into my own IPs (ie original works). I'm so looking forward to building my Universe.
Well,that's it. Stay Gold,Space Cowboy.
