Our biggest clue to potentially piecing together this puzzle came from the short piece of the SF6 gameplay debut trailer where Chun-Li is "battling" against a teenage girl. Unfortunately, we haven't seen Mel yet in the SF6 footage (that we know of), so we'll have to go with another familiar young face to try and figure this out. That lets us know that SF3 generally takes place about 3 years after SF4, and then SF5 likely is 1–1.5 years before SF3 given his appearance in the story of that game. Using Ken's son Mel for example, he was just born in Street Fighter 4 but 3 years old around the start of SF3 (and turns 4 by the end of Third Strike). Using the adults in this case doesn't really help narrow down the timeline all that much because they're somewhat at the whim of character designers and modelers, so instead we're going to be looking at the youth in the next generation.
Is that a 5-year difference though? 10 years? 15 years? The returning characters we've seen thus far like Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile and even Luke have been visibly aged up from where they were in SF3 and SF5.
With a franchise like this that plays hard and loose with details like dates and ages, getting a concrete gauge on time in Street Fighter is pretty difficult although not impossible.
