I'm surprised you didn't mention how Charlie is Guile's mentor, which is why he's better at their fighting style, only needing one arm for the Sonic Boom and Somersault Shell being so much bigger and flashier than the Somersault Kick.
Charlie was my main through the whole alpha series and x-men vs. street fighter. I always liked how he felt/animated better then guile. I don't really like the robotic eye piece thing they did with him in sf5 though. I hope he comes back in SF6 a bit closer to his original vanilla ice look.
Charlie is a fascinating character. Whenever Alpha popped up in arcades, I made sure to play him first. To see his journey unravel beyond death. I always wondered how he survived everything.
one of my favs in the sf franchise. glad he at least was in the alphas n vs games. not a fan of his sfv version tho. but its interesting. RIP charlie nash...
Something that was kind of a big deal in 2009, when Street Fighter The Legend of Chun Li was being promoted, was the revelation that Charlie's name was canonically retconned to Charlie Nash. I can't find the original article from back then anymore though, but I remember reading that Capcom themselves gave the idea.
impressive. ya nash is the master of the sonic boom using only one arm. where guile needs both. then also their flash kicks are different... nash does his flash kicks in reverse n with style. i think charlie nash was the superior fighter of the two. hence why guile also had such huge respect for him.
The very first version of Nash's death according to Guile's SFII backstory: The former elite SOF teammate from the United States, Guile along with his best friend and co-pilot Charlie Nash were missing in action during a mission in Shadaloo, Thailand six years prior in 1987 during the events where Ryu fights Sagat in the Street Fighter I tournament. After many months of being Shadaloo POWs in Cambodia, he and Nash have succeeded their prison break from their cell to escape the jungle camps. During their perilous trek to civilization, Guile witnessed the ambush and murder of Nash at the nefarious hands of a caped dictator in a red uniform, this has stricken Guile with grief and vengeance ever since. In the present year of 1993, Guile is now affiliated with the USAF under the rank of Major, and has deserted both his wife and daughter for the opportunity to compete in the World Warrior tournament as an opportunity to avenge Nash against the host of the competition whom Guile holds responsible.
Charlie Nash is one of the most unique SF characters,ever since his appearance in the Alpha series. It’s cool that he’s been known in SF2. He went from being killed to turning him into a Frankenstein’s Monster.
What started out as "ooh this be a great lil piece to open up the lore" at the time. Only a decade later, everytime I see him, his story, it's a big ol "Huh?"
Glad you gave my favorite SF character some limelight. I enjoyed playing Guile when SF2 hit for being badass, but Charlie connected with me on being cool. Hell, I got his SF5 statue! But I love him not just because of canon, he's Guile's superior/teacher and one of the strongest characters in SF timeline for being one of the few characters to beat Bison (and at full Psycho power level). Now's he's a schrodinger's cat type character, tied to the hip with Bison in that "Are they dead?...or Alive?" If Bison can come back to life, so can Charlie. As with any fighting game, NO character stays dead. Hopefully in SF6 or SF7, Charlie will be back in some shape or form.
personally charlie nash's name isn't confusing what so ever in the SFV story because its basically just calling him by his last name. we been calling Guile by his last name for years so why is some characters calling him charlie or nash in points of the story that hard to not understand to who they are referring to Edit: also Shadow (like Shadow Lady) is a robotic version of charlie nash that was hinted at in X-Men vs Street Street Fighter
I think Capcom should let a (well established) studio convert the street fighter series into some sort of modern rpg. God knows there is plenty of content and characters to flesh it out.
Fun fact that you forgot to mention: Abel, a character that was introduced in SF4, was rescued by Charlie Nash from Shadaloo. He was also a playable character in the both Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2.
You sure you didn't mix Capcom vs. SNK with X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom 2? I've checked CvS's roster, and *Guile* is on there, not Nash. Though Kyousuke Kagami _does_ kinda look like Charlie a bit.
It would’ve been a cool story if M bison took Charlie’s body and Charlie (M bison) was the main villain. Imagine what the story would’ve been if guile had to take out his best friend in order to avenge him. That would be so cool.
Yea . . . Don't take the movie too seriously. I have no idea where these dumb ideas came from, but definitely not out of the Street Fighter lore. Chun Li, E.Honda, and Balrog working at a tv news station, Charlie mutated into Blanka, Dr. Dhalsim, Zangief working for M.Bison. There's just so many things wrong with that movie. One of, if not the best upside is Raul Julia doing the movie for his kids (R.I.P.)
Street Fighter lore stopped making sense by the time Alpha 3 came out and effectively reintroduced every character from Super SF2 making some of the characters the replaced them redundant.
alpha 3 was the canon of the alphas. until sfv came along and retconned. n messed things up a bit. i prefer the guile ending. it makes the og sf2 ending kinda true. and ya alpha 3 was the best of the lot.
Honestly I don’t get why they can’t have him on the roster without it affecting the story/them having to come up for a reason for him to be alive again especially if he’s dlc for a future street fighter
Lol, just yesterday I was wondering what the official story was if Charlie dying was, because he died three different times in Alpha, and once in X-Men vs Street Fighter. I’ve never played SF5, so I don’t know how that ended
@@Lupo32 Guile doesn’t seem like a dude who would be taught by a dude younger than he was …. How did that go in the lore ? Did they detail their first meeting in the military ? Or their military training together ?
@@AyeYoYoYooo Capcom and snk both no longer give Their characters birth years but Guile was born 1960 and charlie nash 1961. Shoot half the cast of street fighter 2 Are in their 60s or 50s by now .
Nash recently became one of my favorite characters in the series. What started it off was his Captain Commando outfit in Street Fighter V since Captain Commando is one of my favorite games of all time. Then, he ended up being really fun to play as and I really liked his V-Trigger. Then his lore was even more interesting. It's too bad he never caught a break. Even in SFV he still seemed to die trying to kill Bison. At least Shadaloo was finally stopped in the 6th game.
Best version of Charlie/Nash was shadow or the Zombie/SFV version ❤️ one of my favorite Ragging Demons was Shadow’s too easily in the Top 5 in my opinion 😂
i take his orginal design from alpha to vs games. also there is a hidden version called shadow charlie which also grants him a raging demon style super. it was called Final Mission i think. was badass.
Great Video on Charlie Nash, But in case you forgot, Charlie Nash did appear in the Live Action Mini Series, Street Fighter: Resurrection! Where Nash would locate M. Bison’s Whereabouts!
I'm holding on to the hope that he can appear in SF6 with a brand new body courtesy of the Illuminati/Secret Society with a new lease on life now that Bison is gone.
do find it interesting charlie was imo closer to being the star of a street fighter series than guile(& other blond u.s fighters) but find it sad he gets shot down in alpha 2(never had a problem with it retconning his alpha 3 death as while his strongest body got destroyed bison still lived with shadaloo not much worse for wear compared to akuma killing the dictator.) showing how powerful m. bison got in the alpha series and being used by the illuminati while being so mentally closed off he threatened his friends though liked him taking enough of m. bisons psycho power for ryu to kill him without reviving.(though still wish it had been ryu & ken like the animated movie alongside chun li.) also liked him in 2v(where he looks like jean reano/has a pretty disturbing death to bison.),cannon spike and being the one who saved abel in 4.
Nonsense like this is why I gravitated to the Neo-Geo side of things. When old school SNK killed someone, 9 times out of 10 they stayed dead. Truly miss those days.
SNK was always ahead of the game. Too bad many perfer the bad writing that keeps many games going too long. I think King of Fighters also does a good job with dead characters even if 14 set them up to return.
Nash also appeared in the anime TV series, Street Fighter II V. As this series was made before the Zero/Alpha games, Nash has a completely different appearance. The Street Fighter story is so convoluted now. I miss the days when it was just people that wanted revenge on a bad guy that killed their family member or friend. 1:48 the localizers sure liked to add unneeded details that screw up the story. The most ridiculous one is in Blanka's ending, where his mom recognizes her son because he's wearing the same anklets he had as a baby. It is not explained how baby-sized anklets fit on a giant sized grown man.
@@realamericannegro977 Oh RIGHT he did look a bit like Jean Reno he's great but replacing Nash's iconic look with any celebrity feels like a sellout moment also it make better sense in Onimusha though i wonder about the portability of the game due to useing a famous person's likeness in future game means a lot of red tape
How Charlie Nash should've been depicted in Alpha 3: • Replace him with Agent Shadow. • Have his alive form playable via hidden roster code like Shin Akuma. • Have Guile's SFA3 ending take place where he tearfully gives the defeated Shadow a mercy killing by saying "forgive me, I swear I'll make Bison pay!" and then vanquishes Shadow by giving him a vertical Sonic Hurricane, leaving him dead with a scar on half of his body that had to be stitched up in SFV, where Nash uses the same vertical Sonic Hurricane as his finisher.
ya thats canon to the lore. then ken took over after charlie died. but had he lived would ken be able to dethrone charlie as the champion...?! find out next time on dragonball Z.
You missed 1 thing. In X-Men vs Street Fighter, When you fight in the canyon level in the background you can see Beast and Blanka at a campfire. If you play as Charlie in that stage, Blanka is not in the background suggesting that he IS Blanka. Even though that's not the case. It's super weird you can see it for yourselves.
what really baffled me when he showed up doing sonic booms and flash kicks was that IIRC guile's original story was that he learned those moves AFTER the escape from Bison where charlie got killed... from some guy who saved guile in the jungle
So glad you explained the Street Fighter: The Movie messed up alternate story arc for Charlie. Boy did whoever wrote that screenplay really screw that up royally
I swear, I really like Nash’s story, and the thing with his names I found weirdly amusing. I also loved playing as him in SFA, and SFV, and his themes are kickass imo
Guile's SF6 bio did say he's successfully avenged him so who knows what Capcom is doing with Charlie at this point. Also I know we "Don't talk about that movie" but he was in the Legend of Chun Li movie as well.
I am a local lawn care specialists in the suburbs of Chicago. At customers homes if there is not bathroom I have to hide in the corner of there fence to go to bathroom sometime it number 2 but I cover myself with a garbage bag so no one can see me. I have tried to jiggle customers door handles for maybe I can use there bathroom but they always lock there doors now. Smhh
My all time favorite Street Fighter character. Hated beating the game w/ home just to see him die. I literally use to cry at playland in times sq when I’d turn the game over. Put ya quarter up era.
@@vg4917 its part of his dna he can copy moves by seeing or data. so he prob got his sonic boom data from guile tho. dont think seth fought nash. n i really dont remember anythin related to seth from him. since he also has ryu shoryu n sims strechy limbs n stuff. so im guessing guile.
@@y0gafire but as far as im aware guile didnt meet seth until- if you are guile the final stage of the game so he couldnt copy before then? i guess he has dp and spd tho...
Now hopefully in part 6 when he does come back he'll be human with a brand-new quest to chase after the main bad guy but unlike the previous failures he'll succeed and you will get to fly off in the sunset like an alpha 3 then again final fight was originally the real sf2 based on the fact that it was called Street fighter 89 show guy being the hero Makes sense
Charlie Nash is Guile's Top Gun boyfriend. He has that hair quaff dangling in his face because he loves things dangling in his face specifically Guile.
When i was growing up i always thought that charlie and blanka was the same person and now i know why. That live action street fighter ruined my childhood lol
lol nah nash has the cooler looking flash kick. lore wise he is the originator of it all and master of it. but remy could be his son. or so many fan theory go... that would be kinda cool if so. but we wont ever know cuz sf6 fails. 😂
Wait..... Charlie Nash was his full name ever since Alpha. I know this for sure, because when I was in middle school in the mid-/late '90s, there was a character in a murder mystery book I read for school named "Charlie Nash", and I immediately made the connection at the time. The comics had nothing to do with it; it was almost a decade BEFORE the comics ever happened.
Those aren't sunglasses they are just glasses. The sf community was calling him Charles nash as soon as it was noticed that there was a name difference
Ryu: OMG! They killed Charlie..... I mean Nash! Guile: Again? M.Bison/Vega: (sighs) Yeah. Four times. One of them is non-canon but they added it for good measure. Charlie Nash: Don't worry. I'll be back. Eventually.
Nash should be a main in every SF roster. I hope he returns in sf6 will buy it asap then. He has a fun movest, cool look and a solid plot to build around. Amazed Capcom use him as a middle tier or jobber character essentially. Put him on the roster please

Charlie and Guy were my favorite characters.
Charlie is such a sad character in the series. being made for the sole purpose of being killed
*cough Aeris cough*

not a fan of his sfv version tho. but its interesting. RIP charlie nash...
I knowwwww 😥😥😥😥 So saaaaad
*Cough cough* Charlie is like Zero of Capcom's Megaman X
Nash was always my favorite fighting game character for some reason. I was always drawn to the way he says "Too easy". 😂
Still say it to this day!
Hey me too! I thought you'd like to know
Charlie the Gigachad
Charlie is one of my favorite characters to use in the games. I appreciate the story recap you’ve put together here. Thanks mate!

Wasn’t it Charlie the one sho taught Guile how to do the Sonic Boom and Flashkick ? 🤔

Street Fighter stopped making sense when every other character became a Ryu clone.
What are you talking about?
Sad when they finally made Nash unique from Guile they seem to want to scrap him on SF6.
I heard somewhere that Charlie was the US Martial Arts Champion before Ken. Is that true?
ya thats canon to the lore. then ken took over after charlie died. but had he lived would ken be able to dethrone charlie as the champion...?!

Charlie Nash is Guile's Top Gun boyfriend. He has that hair quaff dangling in his face because he loves things dangling in his face specifically Guile.
I absolutely agree with this! they should have just let his name be Guiile and gave him the redo over when alpha started!
Kinda of reminds of Charlie’s Aura when he came back just to die 😭
When i was growing up i always thought that charlie and blanka was the same person and now i know why. That live action street fighter ruined my childhood lol
LOL About the video game movies... I think the Sonic movies have proven a rare gem... hopefully there are more from now on! 🤷♂
ya only fail on sonic movies is no FAT robotnik tho.
hmm disappointed in ya jim. :(
@@y0gafire He's probably too expensive to put in a fat suit at this point.
Oh my god, they killed Charlie.... You bastards
Remy from 3rd strike does the flash kick better than Nash🤣
lol nah nash has the cooler looking flash kick. lore wise he is the originator of it all and master of it. but remy could be his son. or so many fan theory go...
that would be kinda cool if so. but we wont ever know cuz sf6 fails. 😂
Charlie and nash use sound hence
The term sonic
Remy uses light hence his light of virtue
Nash should be a flashback playble character in sf6 with his Alpha 3 movesets
Wait..... Charlie Nash was his full name ever since Alpha. I know this for sure, because when I was in middle school in the mid-/late '90s, there was a character in a murder mystery book I read for school named "Charlie Nash", and I immediately made the connection at the time. The comics had nothing to do with it; it was almost a decade BEFORE the comics ever happened.
The less said about the existence of another movie with Charlie Nash, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, the better. ;)
We need the character that taught Charlie and guile The Flash kick! In sf roster
Do a video on Remy from street fighter 3rd strike
Charlie (aka Carlos) is Blanka who is Also Nash???
Can you cover Ryu next please? :)
Those aren't sunglasses they are just glasses.
The sf community was calling him Charles nash as soon as it was noticed that there was a name difference
If Charlie Nash was a wrestler his entrance theme song would be BeeGees' "Staying Alive". #LOL
Ryu: OMG! They killed Charlie..... I mean Nash!
Guile: Again?
M.Bison/Vega: (sighs) Yeah. Four times. One of them is non-canon but they added it for good measure.
Charlie Nash: Don't worry. I'll be back. Eventually.
It will probably never happen, but I want Capcom to give Nash another chance in SF6, and not kill him again.
My favorite character who my never return
Who knew Nash was partially based on a real fighter?
Sagat is based on sagat petchyindee
This Nash is inspirational.
I love that you have done this level of research into streetfighter but still pronounce ryu as rye you
Quif? What's up with the hairstyle! Hammer pants 😂. Inner city youth jacket 😆
Nash should be a main in every SF roster. I hope he returns in sf6 will buy it asap then. He has a fun movest, cool look and a solid plot to build around. Amazed Capcom use him as a middle tier or jobber character essentially. Put him on the roster please
Chalies cool but I rather he just be someone mentioned that motivates guile to get bison. His moves n look is too much like guile.
M. Bison - Mike Bison - Mike Tyson
Those are reading glasses. Like the ones in good profile picture.
i think he was in street fighter 2 v anime, as a Jean Reno lookalike
