A/N: Greetings everyone!
I am here with a timeline!
So, G-Gundam was apparently polarizing at the time of its release back in the 90's. Go figure.
Fight games like Street Fighter, Tekken and Mortal Kombat are very much a hit with many around the world. It's hard to think that an Anime/Manga series such as G-Gundam wouldn't find its groove given the demographic and just how much fighting games (along with action and fight-based Manga series) were on the rise.
Anyways, I decided to play around and mix a timeline together featuring Street Fighter and G-Gundam. I have another G-Gundam crossover in the mix but that project is one of many I'm working on. Yes, I haven't updated anything in a very long time. Life and work keeps me busy. I'm doing my best though.

Ducer, a widely respected military advisor within the UCF, proposes a new idea to help settle tensions. E.C. Ducer outlines a series of rules and regulations that are a part of tournament that will be held every four years and features friendly mobile suit combat. It is called the Gundam Fight, a tournament to help decide which colony nation will rule over Earth and her colonies for four years.
E.C. Ducer's Gundam Fight proposal is accepted then adopted by all the colony nations. As a result, the colony nation split their funding, sending a sizeable bit of their funds into Gundam development programs. The Gundam is now recognized as the penultimate mobile suit.

F.C. 60
The 13th Gundam Fight begins…
A/N: That's a wrap.
Time to go over a few things…
Rose's birthday is marked as July 3 or July 7. I picked one and rolled with it.
Apparently, Sai Saici is a teenager. Always thought he was younger though. Guess the growth spurt hasn't hit yet.
I made Allenby a year older than she is in canon.
The State of Earth – Earth as it stands by Future Century 60 is still a mess. It's not as bad given the presence of organizations and characters from Street Fighter, but still a mess all the same. A majority of nature and natural landmarks have healed since the end of the Chaos War. Gundam Fights have disturbed nature to a degree but not by too much. The cities around the world are worse off though.
The Events of Street Fighter II The Movie – Follows after the events of the World Warrior Tournament. Mostly the same events as in the movie just with greater familiarization between characters. M. Bison more less beats Guile in a minute or two before getting beat by the combined power of Ryu and Ken.
The Events of Street Fighter IV Ties that Bind – Follows after the Street Fighter II movie, mere months after. Ryu is struggling with his inner darkness, a manifestation named Kage or Dark Ryu. He continues his quest to try and find the true meaning of fighting and to better understand martial arts as a whole.
Meanwhile, Ken's settled down and is running a company while being a married man and a fighter.
Chun-Li and Guile are doing Shadaloo mop up but have unfortunately run into SIN, another secret organization that is very similar to Shadaloo in many regards.
With that, all events in the movie follow as canon, including Seth getting beat by a revitalized Ryu. Only difference is Ryu is able to bond more with Sakura and Chun-Li.
The Events of Street Fighter IV – Warriors from the Street Fighter cast band to defeat Seth and SIN. Ryu, Guile, Ken, Chun-Li, Abel and Fei Long are the lead team in this. Afterwards, they and others head back to the states to celebrate the birth of Ken's son Mel.
The Events of Street Fighter V: A Shadow Falls – Same as in the game. Though we get a bit more interaction between Ryu and Chun-Li. Not only that, characters not featured in SFV that were featured in SFIV make an appearance.
Shadaloo and SIN are virtually destroyed by this point, with remnants signing on to become members of Gill and Urien's Secret Society.
Mobile Suit forces of different colony nations ensure that the space satellites Bison deploys are destroyed. This is thanks to the coordination between Guile, Cammy and Chun-Li.
Did you know that the Hyper Mode/Super Mode in G-Gundam was based off of the power ups and cloths used in Saint Seiya? I didn't. I'm also positive that G-Gundam got its influence from popular fighting games at the time of its release. With that, I can understand why the series was divisive amongst fans for a time. Stepping away from the Universal Century storyline must have been difficult.
Anyways, thanks for tuning in everyone!
Peace!
