Blanka and Charlie are indeed 2 different people.
Yeah, basically, if you're seen the Live Action Street Fighter movie, ignore EVERYTHING. It had the same characters, but it kept absolutely NONE of the storyline. At all.
Zero.
I don't see how a filmmaker could honestly do that, take a game with SET storylines, then make a movie that had absolutely nothing to do with them.

Why not read the comics from UDON? You could get the Trade Paperback, and start from there.

YES!
The ugly mexican vega, and the shrimpy sagat were AWESOME, and the fight at the end between Zangief and the Hawaiian/Samoan E. Honda w/ the Godzilla noises and the smashing of the paper skyline was friggin hilarious.
Well worth my purchase of the DVD for $5.
I actually remember watching this in the theater...lol, I remember that the kids in the showing before mine were coming out making fireball motions. Funny thing, i don't remember any hadokens in the movie. 
It's not as bad as everyone says, it makes for some decent unintended comedy. Bison uses a SF2 arcade machine to control some missile thingies, lol.

Wait, you mean the fat asian dude wasn't really an undercover cop posing as a cameraman in the game?Nikashi said:

If you have a few hours to spare (or just want to look up specific characters), take a look at this comprehensive SF story FAQ edited together from almost three years of plot research and discussion:
http://kattuggla.oru.se/dmd01/dm0103/test/faqs/SFplotguide40.txt
Basically, all manga, anime, movies or comics (including Udon's) are not canon. However, many of them use the same ideas (you can see that Udon are taking details from all sources when they are making their own canon) and sometimes Capcom decides to include ideas in the games later (Karin was created by a manga author, many scenes in the Alpha games were inspired by the animated movie).
The only correct sources are Capcom Japan (the Japanese editions of the games themselves) and authorized story guides (All About Capcom and Street Fighter Eternal are some of the most well known). Not even Capcom USA's translations are essentially canon, since they changed many things for various reasons, not just the well known name swaps.
I'll be happy to answer any questions. There is a storyline discussion going on at Shoryuken.com, but it seems to be down at the moment...
