In the Street Fighter 4 edition of EGM magazine, a spread was run showcasing the two characters with new artwork. In which, Poison's true gender was revealed to be a post op transsexual in the US.
Sheng Long, has been the greatest mystery to the franchise since the release of the original Street Fighter 2. He is the master of Ryu and Ken. Fans, have been teased by Capcom and EGM for years about his inclusion in the game. But, this year that joke may change as this is souped to be the best Street Fighter game to the franchise.
Poison, has been quite popular since late 2007, with the release of his/her model figure and the question of Poison's gender was once again traveling threw the minds of it's fans.

Capcom is likely to cash in on the popularity of this character and listen to the fans as they demand that Poison and Sheng Long to finally be included in a Street Fighter game.
Abyssus is an upcoming first person/co-op shooter roguelike set in a brinepunk, undersea world filled with treasure and monsters.
The pickings are slim in this entry as well, but are still worthwhile to own and play in Irem Collection Volume 2.
It was previously hinted that Xbox has stopped selling the physical disc of video games. Further proof of the gaming giant abandoning physical media has appeared as Cronos: The New Dawn will not be available on a physical disc for Xbox Series S|X.
Atp I'm not surprised I think nintendo will be the only ones due to consumers going to be physical media folks imo respect
So much for that games preservation team they set up
How can you go on about it games preservation but abandoned physical media
Funny... I have the full library of games from the 2nd gen on up to the 5th fully preserved in digital form as well as on a physical hard drive.
Am I doing it right?
5 years and physical media exists only as special collector items. cds, dvds, blurays will be completely gone from the shelves. Sadly.
If I remember correctly, Poison was removed because of violence against women. The whole transsexual thing was because of a failed attempt to turn her into a transsexual to get away with this "violence". In the end she was replaced, but in the original design she was very much a woman.
As for Sheng Long, that would be incredible to have him exist. Wasn't he supposed to be this all powerful being that had an over powered version of every signature attack in the game? It is hard to believe that he wouldn't be a disappointment after a rumour like that, and due to balance issues there is no way he will live up to that much hype.
Don't quote me on any of this. There is a good chance I made most of it up. lol
DAMN poison looks hot 2 bad she is a he or he is a she whatever!! WHATEVER happen to the original Street Fighter?
but to the best of my recollection. The master of Ryu and Ken was Gouki's (Akuma) older brother, Gouken.
^ right, that's what I thought... this whole Shen Long thing is new to me.
I know things can be weird in video games as well as movies and other forms of entertainment,but come on now; it is a little crazy that poison character is a he/she.Anyway,I have played SF Since it first came out and it still is one of my top three fighting games of all time! I can't wait to play the new edition.
