Hhhmm......well, in the Street Fighter bios for Akuma and in the Alpha movie they said that Akuma had killed Gouken, there Master, using the 'Forbiden Technique'. I guess hes talking about the Shin Gouku-Satsu(sp?).......

So if Akuma killed Ken and Ryu's master, why were they all hardcore into kicking Bison's ass?

Because Bison usually tries to enlist them in his schemes to take over the world with his organization "Shadowlaw", which runs acts of terrorism, weapons and drugs trafficing, and, as one person put it, "just about anything that is illegal." He tends to brainwash people who refuse.
WHY? Who knows. Bison's just obsessed with power. At heart a flat villain. Although in the anime "Street Fighter II V" Bison claimed that Shadowlaw wanted to destroy the governments of Earth that were destroying the planet with pollution and "petty wars with each other". Seems kind of hypocritical to me, and the notion that one can have an unstoppable, world smashing army so long as you have enough karate men that shoot fireballs from their palms is a little weak, but...

Well, Ryu beats up on a good deal of regular people pretty viciously throughout the Street Fighter II movie. Although I don't see how all the karate men in the world are gonna stand up to tanks and missiles.Originally posted by Dread

There doing the street fighter comics based off the games it has nothing to do with the movies. The games is where Street Fighter began. See the storys get changed around cause the old street fighter comics i had that went up to only 8 issues had it bison killing Ryu's master. Even if it was Akuma Ryu would still go after M. Bison after Akuma.Still got one more month then the first issue comes out cant wait after reading issue #0

I really hope this becomes an ongoin series so other fighters can have story arcs.It would be amazing imagine seeing a story arc with Sean Yun & Yang fighting together and acting like yungins.Or Guy and Cody fighting together again in the streets of metro city.I am defintly picking this title up every month.

You can't get Street Fighter #0 in any stores, unless they themselves went to the San Diego Convention and got it for sale. But thats illegal. Other than that, you could only get it through Ebay

[size=+1]STREET FIGHTER SELLS OUT [/size]
Image Comics on Wednesday announced that Diamond has completely sold out of Street Fighter #1 by Ken Siu-Chong, Alvin Lee, Arnold Tsang and Andrew Hou two weeks prior to its in-store date of Sept. 4.
A second printing of Street Fighter #1 has already been scheduled and will be in stores Sept. 10. The second printing is available for order now.
"I think it's safe to say that many retailers underestimated the demand for the all-new Street Fighter," said Image director of marketing Eric Stephenson. "Since Street Figher #0 debuted at Comic-Con International in San Diego last month, though, there's been a huge swell of interest in this title. People want this book."
Street Figher #1 was originally solicited with three covers: Cover A by Joe Madureira, Cover B by Arnold Tsang and Cover C by Jo Chen. In addition to the variant covers, Street Figher #1 also includes a bonus prequel story by Madureira.
"We want to make sure that everyone that wants a Street Fighter comic book will have the opportunity to get one, and so have gone back to print right away, in an effort to make the second printing available as quickly as possible," said Erik Ko, chief of operations of UDON.
Stephenson was also quick to point out that while Street Figher has its roots in the '80s, it's appeal is not nostalgia based.
"I don't think there's anything 'retro' about Street Figher, because unlike the many '80s properties that have experienced a resurgence over the last couple years, Street Figher has remained an ongoing concern," he said. "People are still playing the video game and there's still an interest in the incredibly rich world these characters exist in. This is book very firmly rooted in the 'now.'"
Street Fighter #2 also features three covers: Cover A by Arnold Tsang, Cover B by Adam Warren and Cover C by Scott Campbell. Warren also contributes a backup story pitting Street Fighter's two leading ladies -- Chun-Li and Cammy -- against one another...
