Street Fighter has enough characters and just enough lore to make a TV series worthwhile and it gives everyone involved a chance to
actually tell the franchise's story in chronological order (
none of this sequel, prequel, sequel, interquel, sequel to the interquel
nonsense, please).
As a more extreme example, Judith Curry «summarizes» extensively her thoughts on the Montford Hockey Stick book (comment 168) and then backs off and says
none of it was
actually her opinion, just her summary, after gavin calls her out on the
nonsense (comment here).
