"Shin" can be expressed with different kanji, one of which means "true." The kanji meaning "god," which is usually pronounced "kami," is pronounced "shin" under certain conjugations. I like "quotation" "marks."

Where do you get this stuff?!! LOL thanks for that dude. I was worried for a mo there. The shin in my username was supposed to mean god. I don't think it would sound so good if it meant true. Well, that's me happy again

Don't ask why I'm so obsessed with this. But man... apparently the prank got even further. I guess some toy manufacturer even produced a Sheng Long action figure
Edit: Now I've come across some really suspicious stuff. I'm thinking this is german, but I came across scans from a magazine that have the Sheng Long thing in it. And one could surmise they're more doctored images (tons of them along the side o_O) but there's another artistic rendering of him. Same style. Same quality. Different pose. It looks really official. And below him is Gouken (this one I know is official 'cause I've come across it before). Maybe Sheng Long has become accepted? There's even some stuff on Goutetsu and Go Hibiki (Dan's dad, killed by Sagat) that are strangely similar to official art...

GAH. Damn them.
Hmm. Didn't realize some of the pics didn't upload *Fixed*
Those artworks of Sheng Long and Goutetsu in the "magazine scans" are pretty obviously fan art--and bad fan art, at that. And the artwork of Go Hibiki is just Dan Hibiki.
I know that's a picture of Dan, it doesn't match the sprite in the pic. I'm more concerned with the sprite in that one. But that doesn't really interest me. The pic of Gouken is the same used on Wikipedia, and apparently in one of Akuma's ending in SFA3 or SF3 I can't remember which. But it also features Goutetsu's image as well. So fanwork or not, it's supposed to be close to what Gouken is supposed to look like (which is in the image of him and Ryu). But that Sheng Long thing bothers me. Both pictures of Sheng Long I've seen are disturbingly close in artistic style to the style used to draw character art in all the Alpha games x_x;
I could go on to explain why these things are hoaxes but at this point it really ought to be a question of common sense. Use your head.
I'm sure it is all a hoax. But Goutetsu is official. I just want to know who drew the original Sheng Long. It's too good to be fan art. I wish I could find a full body shot instead of just the cut of his head. Its not just peices of other fighters spliced together.
Someones clearly gone to alot of effort to make people think all this is real. But if you really want to kow the answer you could always try sending an email to Capcom. The worst they can do is ignore you.
