I made 2 big Reddit posts about him. One was written last year about how Capcom gave F.A.N.G a lot of attention and that Japanese fans are more appreciative of him. It had a lot of upvotes and positive reactions:

Another post I made just a few days ago about the possibility of FANG coming back playable.

(Click here) Possibility of F.A.N.G returning as a Playable Character

The post is super long, but I wanted to write it out on a big platform like Reddit because no one else had. I don’t care about getting a million downvotes. I had to get my thoughts out there. There’s no guarantee that FANG would come back playable, but this post is meant for FANG supporters to read so that they know he’s not deconfirmed (there’s a difference). All the points I’ve made reference official parts of the game and past trends of Street Fighter gaming development.

I’m still amazed that a lot of people still love this mod I made.

The idea of this came from fanart of Juri and other characters wearing A.K.I. Outfit 3. Most would think “this outfit looks stylish, and it would look cool on other characters.” Yes, it is a stylish outfit and it would look cool on others…I’ll agree on that. For me as someone who loves F.A.N.G, admittedly I have strange feelings seeing such works. My reactions would automatically go, "I wonder if they know the deeper meaning behind this fashion statement?" Knowing the intent of this costume written by the designer, it is an obvious F.A.N.G tribute because of how much A.K.I. loves him. The outfit represents a deep love and respect towards FANG. It is a way to feel worthy to stand next to him and to be closer to him.

There were ideas and talks about putting AKI’s Outfit 3 onto other characters as a mod. I had my own thoughts about making it myself. But again, I had mixed feelings because I believe the only person in Street Fighter lore that can wear this outfit is AKI because she loves FANG. If other characters knew the meaning behind this outfit, they would not wear this at all unless they’re somehow forced to do so.

Many months later, I decided to make it. And I had to be the first one to make it. I thought to myself if another modder were to make a character wearing AKI’s Outfit 3, the meaning and intent would be loss. They would not mention about the love for FANG because most often they would not know about the lore behind it, or they would ignore it because they don’t like FANG 🙄. To me, this mod has to be made by someone who understands this costume, even if it contradicts to the actual meaning. If I make this mod, I can tell the world what AKI’s Outfit 3 really means.

Also, I like the idea that the love of FANG spreads to anyone who wears this costume. AKI’s outfit 3 is already stylish, but reading about the designer’s comment about honoring FANG made it a million times better 💜💜

Ingrid is the final character to be implemented into World Tour mode. All DLC characters afterward will be going into Avatar Arcade mode. Stories with loose ends like Falke’s whereabouts, JP’s plans for Ed and Bison, and Vega & Balrog’s interest in going back to Shadaloo won’t be fully fleshed out anymore.

Looking retrospectively, Capcom shouldn’t have put too much resources on SNK guest characters in WT mode. Also a lot of the side missions after the Bison update or starting with Elena were kind of about…nothing? Like it’s good for world building like having a device to talk to animals, but it leads to no where when it comes to story. Like a lot of the side missions is just either fighting NPCs or finding stuff, but nothing pertains to the imminent Shadaloo lore. Thinking about it, a lot of the One Fateful Days had very little influence to the main WT plot. Terry and Mai, all about Fatal Fury. Elena, nothing on Secret Society nor Shadaloo. Sagat, hates Shadaloo and wants nothing to do with it. C. Viper, looking into Shadaloo, but rather focus on her daughter, so nothing substantial comes out of it. Alex…lmao. Only Ingrid has something to do with the main WTM, but she’s there to change the course of it.

Sure, probably all of the Shadaloo story ended because of time travel. JP being hospitalized before the Nayshall tournament and Ingrid put Bison in his place.

But the point of the time travel is to save Bosch; I don’t know if JP is still going to do shady business in trying to get Ed and Bison together to do some sort of unknown plan after he recovers. That plan was stated by one of FANG’s underlings. That being said, what about FANG’s plan to revive Shadaloo? Surely that’s not gonna stop him because he’s working against JP and he thinks Bison is “imperfect” in his partial amnesiac state.

Now that WT is over, Vega who is most likely coming back for S4 and may be interested in going back to Shadaloo won’t be able to flesh out the WT story anymore. Then again, maybe because of the time travel stuff, Vega’s story might focus on his relationship with Ignacio in his arcade mode…?? I don’t know.

My copium is that when you fight your new master in Avatar Arcade Mode, they’ll at least provide 2 cinematic scenes for said character in their stage or somewhere and add some illustrations for their memories. Like, they could totally do that without putting an entire world tour mode with pointless missions, and just go straight to the meat of it instead. Thats just my thought though.

M. Bison’s birthday message from last year.

With this fiasco, I have been thinking about my time as a F.A.N.G fan. To be honest, if something like the Alex story ever happens to F.A.N.G and A.K.I. , I would be devastated. In fact, I would HATE it. Thankfully, it didn’t go into that route. Yes, the FANG and AKI relationship is pretty weird (even though I love it) and I even dubbed it as the most bizarre dynamic in Street Fighter (now they’ve been dethroned by Alex and Patricia), but it was at least carefully written. In short, it’s all one-sided from AKI’s point of view where she has a lot of strong feelings towards FANG (like myself), while FANG sets boundaries between himself and her. FANG sees AKI as a student and a child. Also the fact that FANG has no libido means he’s not going to do anything creepy towards AKI, nor anyone for that matter. It may seem like a tragedy for FANG having no capacity for romance, but at the same time it may be a saving grace for him in that Capcom can’t ruin his character in the same way they’ve done to Alex. FANG is evil, but he is also “pure” in that regard.

I would say more about FANG and AKI’s dynamic, but it’s a lot.

Going back to Alex. Because of his story in SF6, he’s now in the midst of negative feedback and reactions. I’ve seen posts like “cousin f——-,” “Alex is a gr00m3r,” and other unsavory things. For the people who aren’t Alex fans, this is all fun and games to them. For those who are Alex fans, it’s pure pain and agony. They want the Alex “slander” to stop. In some ways I can relate to this. Before the whole Alex hullabaloo, I have been feeling down as a FANG fan for quite a while. Every time I search for FANG content online, I’d often run to some sort of negative comment or slander about my fave. It’s usually “FANG sux,” “AKI is way better,” “FANG got replaced and will never be playable again,” “AKI should leave and forget about FANG.” I’d often think to myself that it’s hard being a FANG fan in recent times, especially that he’s not playable in the current game and has yet to make a real comeback. I’d also think that FANG deserves a better fandom that embraces his qualities instead of bashing them. Thus, I somewhat stopped looking for FANG content online and just solely visiting Atgrbread, Milach3a, Testasase, Otsuyu, and other FANG appreciators’ accounts because I know I won’t see malicious content from them. People would tell me there’s better characters than FANG. Although that is true, there’s no other Street Fighter character that makes me as satisfied as with FANG.

“How old do you think A.K.I. is?”

I made a post about it a long time ago here, though it might be slightly outdated:

https://www.tumblr.com/remy2fang/749566260290912256/hi-im-getting-back-into-sf-after-six-years-of

Short answer: A.K.I. is probably between 20 to 23 years old. Officially it’s said that she is quite young compared to other characters in the SF6 roster. The only character she’s older than are Lily (officially 19 years old) and Ed (he’s probably younger than Lily lol).

I also made a twitter post about it some time ago:

And I remember ryo_redcyclone made an age chart, though it’s just their estimation. This was before Ed’s birthday message when he thinks he’s still only 12 or 13 years old…Japan SF6 twitter had a meltdown when they saw that message lol.

Now people might be confused about Chun-Li’s age in that chart. I’ll keep this short, the lore setting between SF2 to SF6 is about 13 to 15 years apart. And yes, even director Nakayama confirmed that Chun-Li, Juri Han, and Mai Shiranui are close in age.
