#BUT NOT SAKURA AND THEY DO TJAT ANYWAY

Are the 3s people (YunYang Elena etc) teenagers?? Sorry I just notice you call them kiddos and teens a lot. I always thought they were like in the 19-21 age range??

great question! in the original sf3, they are teenagers, around the 15-18 age range. i only have “canon” proof (in air quotes bc capcom loves ignoring its own canon) for the kids introduced in new generation but according to a sf3 developer q&a:

elena is 17

sean is also 17

ibuki is in high school

and there’s no canon age for twins, but they’re presumably around the same age based on presentation. they’re literally designed to be “cool kid skaters.” i’ve generally seen them being called 16 or 17, but they’re younger than alex (maybe, it’s complicated there’s this magazine that says he’s 17 in sfv which…what the actual fuck no he isn’t that’s a grownass man i refuse to believe this piece of information)

most of the confusion come from the fact that sf4 rebooted the entire series, so you’re gonna get the tallest 12 and 13 year olds you’ve ever seen in your goddamn life.

so because of the retcon, i could totally see it being the case that “uh actually they were 15/16 in sf4 so now they’re 19/20 in sf3” because god knows they didn’t think of shit before putting twins and elena in that game. especially since, in sf6 they’d be nearing their 30s, and if their last appearance in the timeline was as teenagers, it’d be an even bigger jump.

so really, the current canon could be whatever, though i’m leaning towards very early 20s at the latest.

also, i just have a habit of calling characters i like kiddos because i develop extremely strong maternal instincts for any character i like
