How did cracked miss the whole bit about Cammy being Bison's clone and her being intended to be his replacement body?

This article was okay, but these are things you could find out by simply reading the instruction manual in some cases. I thought it would be more unknown stuff that only the developers knew.

Yeah, I always wondered what Cammy's ending was in Japanese. But the clone bit? You mean old Major Capes-a-lot had a gene for blonde hair and British accent?
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

At least he's got his priorities straight. If I was going to psychically switch my conciousness into a new body I'd choose to be in a hot leggy blond any day of the week.

You get hints of crazy throughout the game (especially if you were the kind of lonely child who played fighting games single player and actually saw the endings) but the depth and complexity of Street Fighter's completely needless backstory still might surprise you.
I'm still the lonely child that plays fighting games single player to see all the endings.

You sound like my brother, who spent more time playing Super Smash Bros. Melee solo than multiplayer. Or me, who spent hundreds of hours playing against bots in Command & Conquer Generals.
