The Super Nintendo (SNES) port of Street Fighter II released shortly after the April Fool prank changed the translation to " You must defeat my Dragon Punch to stand a chance." However, the English instruction manual for the SNES Street Fighter II referred to "Master Sheng Long" as Ryu and Ken's teacher. As a result players were given the impression that Ryu was referring to an actual person instead of the physical attack itself. This was carried into one of Ryu's quotes to defeated opponents in the English localization of the 1991 arcade fighting game Street Fighter II, changing the Japanese quote, " If you cannot overcome the Rising Dragon Fist, you cannot win!" ( 昇龍拳を破らぬ限り、おまえに勝ち目はない, Shōryūken wo yaburanu kagiri, omae ni kachime wa nai! ?) to " You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance". The name Sheng Long comes from a mistranslated portion of Ryu's Shoryuken "shō ryū" (昇 龍, "rising dragon") from Shōryūken (昇龍拳, "Rising Dragon Fist"), Ryu's flying uppercut, is "shēng lóng" in Chinese pinyin.
