The topic title is actually an infamous mistranslation from Street Fighter. From Wikipedia:

"The name Sheng Long comes from a mistranslation of the "shō ryū" (昇龍 rising dragon) of Ryu's Shōryūken (昇龍拳) into Chinese pinyin-- "shēng lóng." One of Ryu's win quotes in the English localization of the arcade version of Street Fighter II was "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance." The original win quote in the Japanese version actually translates to "If you cannot break through the Rising Dragon Punch, you cannot win!" (昇龍拳を破らぬ限り、おまえに勝ち目はない!, Shōryūken o yaburanu kagiri, omae ni kachime wa nai!?) However, the English translation gives the impression that Ryu is referring to a person (his supposed master), instead of simply being the name of one of his techniques."

Oh, and thank you, CR. Glad I could enlighten you.
