LOL. let me check with Tiamat's guide though, i'm pretty sure he said that between them four, Bison retreated right after the shoryuken.
I'll check again though.
can;t blame you, dude. its so much info in tiamat to actually remember sometimes. and of course there is the whole thing about SFA3 that is just so retarted at times.
you know about that charlie right? his prologue in the game is NOTHING like his canon prologue
storywise SFA3 was second only to post Tekken2 storylines by Namco. SFA2 had good story.
speaking of which, you seen the link i posted regarding Tekken6 on the "videogame discussion" thread. check it out if you haven't. the tekken story seems to have picked up somewhat.

I could understand why the Shoryuken would make Bison retreat, there are many important factors. All and all, SFA 3's plot was pretty good, IMO, made sence to me.
Anyway, I see Ryu taking it after a tough fight, by the time of 3rd Strike Ryu is as strong as Evil Ryu, maybe even stronger.

Well, Bison not only took on Sagat but fought Ken, Sakura, and the dolls, Bison was weakened due to him fighting so many characters in such a short time and none of the characters were slouches either.
Bison didn't even use the full power of the Psycho Drive.
It's not like Ryu hit him fair and square. While everyone was jumping Bison, Ryu came in and hit him, Bison was totally off guard.
Also, Ryu summoned all of his power for that blow, Ryu does have some of a wallop to hurt an off guard and half powered up Super Bison. Akuma didn't spare Ryu's life for nothing, the guy has been hinted at having immense potential since the very beginning.
but Bison was far from affected at the time. he wasn't tired and he had a limitless supply of the pscyho powers. he is a godtier and with a limitless supply of the psychodrives he would be far from "tired".
