This is a list of [[video game characters]] appearing in the ''[[Street Fighter EX]]'' series. |
|||
==Introduced in ''Street Fighter EX''== |
|||
===Hokuto=== |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Hokuto'''|ほくと|Hokuto}} employs the legendary Mizugami style of fighting. When Hokuto's brother [[Kairi (Street Fighter)|Kairi]] develops [[amnesia]] and then goes missing, she travels the world to find him and the cause of his memory loss. It is revealed that Kairi has been cursed since birth and was sentenced to be killed by their clan. However, with his memory loss, it is decided that he need not be killed. |
|||
Kairi's disappearance leads him to face off against the dark fighter [[Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma]]. Hokuto attempts to free her brother, but fails and ends up being awakened by the Chi no Fūin (Seal of Blood) causing her to become {{nihongo|'''Bloody Hokuto'''|血の封印を解かれたほくと|Chi no Fūin o Tokareta Hokuto|"Hokuto unleashed with the Seal of Blood"}}. This alternate version of Hokuto first appears as a hidden character in ''EX Plus Alpha'' (the PlayStation version of the original ''EX''). |
|||
===C. Jack=== |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Cracker Jack'''|クラッカー・ジャック|Kurakkā Jakku}} is a low-level [[Shadaloo]] enforcer of seemingly spanish origin, who also acts as a drill sergeant to cadets. He is sent out by [[M. Bison]] on R&R leave, and he decides to have some fun and look for fights. One of the few characters to make use of a weapon, Cracker Jack occasionally pulls out a [[baseball bat]] to use against opponents, either to strike them directly, or to reflect projectiles by batting them away. Cracker Jack's fighting style is extremely similar to that of [[Balrog (Street Fighter)|Balrog]]. C.Jack underwent a costume change from EX to EX 2 and dressed in a more stylish white outfit in the later games. |
|||
===D. Dark=== |
|||
<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:D.Dark.jpg|right|thumb|Doctrine Dark]] --> |
|||
Born in [[Germany]], {{nihongo|'''Doctrine Dark'''|ドクトリン・ダーク|Dokutorin Dāku}}, whose real name is '''Holger''', as he was known at the time, once served under the orders of [[Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]] with his own special tactical reconnaissance unit. During his tour of duty, his own unit got into a bit of a scuffle with another rival unit, lead by [[Rolento]]. The minor scuffle escalated into a full-on battle, with both sides receiving heavy casualties. Holger was the only member of his unit to escape. However, Holger was severely injured emotionally and physically. Outfitted with a portable breathing apparatus, Holger eventually escaped from the hospital and went into hiding, only to re-emerge as the deranged psychotic killer Doctrine Dark. Dark holds Guile responsible for the massacre of his unit, and seeks to kill Guile as a result. |
|||
D.Dark's fighting style involves the use of several weapons, such as spikes extending from his wrists, dropping explosives on the ground, and a wire that shoots from his wrist to grab an opponent, this move has drawn him comparisons to [[Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)|Scorpion]] of the [[Mortal Kombat]] series. |
|||
===Skullomania=== |
|||
<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Skullo.jpg|right|thumb|Skullomania]] --> |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Skullomania'''|スカロマニア|Sukaromania}} was once an average [[salesman]] called Saburo Nishikoyama. His superiors were not pleased with his results as a salesman. Down on his luck and constantly under pressure for results, he volunteered to dress up and perform like a superhero at a carnival thrown for a top customer in their department store. He had hoped it would be chance to prove his value as a salesman. When he grabbed the attention of all in attendance, something clicked in him. Tired of his job, Skullomania decided to become a [[vigilante]] [[crime]]-fighter. Not much else is known of his past. Skullomania closely resembles the [[Japan]]ese superhero [[Kamen Rider]], who was also based on another character named [[Skull Man]]. Both characters were created by late [[mangaka]] [[Shotaro Ishinomori]]. |
|||
Skullomania was used in the Arika game ''Technictix'', released in Japan only. |
|||
Skullomania also made an appearance in the PlayStation game, '''[[Fighter Maker]]''', even with some of his special moves intact. His signature move is the Skullo Dream, an unblockable combo attack which is increasingly comedic in execution as the series progresses. |
|||
His costume was based on Kinkotsuman, a kaiju from the anime series [[Kinnikuman]]. |
|||
===Pullum=== |
|||
<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Pullum.jpg|right|thumb|Pullum Purna]] --> |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Pullum Purna'''|プルム・プルナ|Purumu Puruna}} is the daughter of a wealthy [[Arabia]]n man. She seeks revenge for her grandfather against [[Shadaloo]] after he was found in [[hypnotism|hypnotic]] state after reading a book with the word Shadaloo on the cover. She vows revenge, and hires [[Darun Mister]] as a [[bodyguard]], teaming with her friend [[Blair Dame]] and going travelling. She seems to resemble Rouge from [[Power Stone]]. She's a pretty fierce dancer by trade... and she forces her opponent to dance along with her for her strongest super art. |
|||
===Allen=== |
|||
Long admired as the strongest karate fighter in America, {{nihongo|'''Allen Snider'''|アレン・スナイダー|Aren Sunaidā}} lost in the first fight of the tournament. The challenger was Ken. After the fight, Ken assured him that he was still a big fish in a little pond - he must battle on. Allen now travels the world with Ken to become even stronger. |
|||
Allen fights in a similar manner to other karate characters, such as [[Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]] and [[Ken (Street Fighter)|Ken]]. Where he differs is the incorporation of [[kickboxing]] techniques, such as the ''Triple Break'', and his most powerful move, the ''Justice Fist'', a punch that can deflect projectiles. Allen differs again in his possession of a command throw, something Ryu and Ken have never used. |
|||
Allen Snider, along with Blair Dame, does not appear in any of the ''EX'' sequels. Instead, they appeared in the Arika-developed ''[[Fighting Layer]]'', which was distributed at the arcades by [[Namco]]. |
|||
===Blair=== |
|||
<!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Blair Dame.jpg|right|thumb|Blair Dame]] --> |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Blair Dame'''|ブレア・デイム|Burea Deimu}} grew up in a relatively sheltered European family, Blair enthusiastically chose to travel around the world with a friend, eventually deciding to join the (unnamed) [[martial art]]s tournament at the core of ''Street Fighter EX''. Though her friend felt uneasy with that, Blair convinced her that between a [[bodyguard]] ([[#Darun Mister|Darun]]) and Blair's skill in the martial arts, they should be fine. She also joins her friend [[#Pullum Purna|Pullum]] who is seeking revenge against [[Shadaloo]] for the death of her grandfather. |
|||
Like Allen Snider, Blair Dame does not appear in any of the ''EX'' sequels after ''EX Plus Alpha''. Instead, she appears in the Arika-developed ''[[Fighting Layer]]'', which was distributed at the arcades by [[Namco]]. Her sister Sharon took her place in ''EX 2'' and ''EX 3''. |
|||
===Darun=== |
|||
<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:DarunMister.jpg|right|thumb|Darun Mister]] --> |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Darun Mister'''|ダラン・マイスター|Daran Maisutā}} is a wrestling champion from [[India]]. He hears of [[Zangief|Zangief's]] legendary wrestling prowess and, bored with his inferior opponents, seeks out the [[Russia]]n to prove to himself that he is indeed the world's ultimate fighter. He also acts as a bodyguard for Pullum. His design is based on [[The Great Gama]]. Darun's ''Indra Bridge'' is a rare command throw that launches his foe into the air. |
|||
===Garuda=== |
|||
<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Garuda.jpg|right|thumb|Garuda]] --> |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Garuda'''|ガルダ|Garuda}} is a nonhuman entity that is a compilation of all the souls taken by Satsujin no Hado. His age, exact origin, and fighting style are unknown. Like most characters in the EX series, he has no confirmed encounter with any of the other characters. Garuda fights harder against those who utilize Satsui no Hado. Garuda is one of the few characters in EX whose attacks cause the opponent to bleed profusely. This was removed from American ports of the game. In EX 2, Garuda gained a move where he summons green soul flames and launches them at his foe in a spiral pattern. |
|||
===Kairi=== |
|||
<!--Removed deleted image: [[Image:Kairi_SF.jpg|right|thumb|150x|[[Kairi]] {{deletable image-caption|1=Wednesday, 1 August 2007}}]]--> |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Kairi'''|カイリ|Kairi}} is a student of the legendary Mizugami style along with his sisters, [[Hokuto (Street Fighter)|Hokuto]] and [[Nanase]]. |
|||
Kairi's ''Shouki Hatsudou'' is a massive energy beam attack that is impossible to avoid, however, performing this attack caused Kairi to suffer considerable damage to balance it out. This move, however, cannot KO Kairi in it's execution, but it can bring his lifebar down critically low. |
|||
==Introduced in ''Street Fighter EX Plus''== |
|||
===Cycloid-β=== |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Cycloid-β'''|サイクロイドβ|Saikuroido Bēta|"Cycloid Beta"}} is a blue 3D-model of a human male with no facial features. He use attacks borrowed from other characters and don't speak. Its origin is unknown. |
|||
Cycloid-β borrows attacks from [[#Kairi|Kairi]], [[#Blair Dame|Blair]], [[#Skullomania|Skullomania]], [[#Pullum Purna|Pullum]], [[#Allen Snider|Allen]], [[Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]], [[Chun-Li]], [[Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma]], [[#Doctrine Dark|D. Dark]] and [[#Garuda|Garuda]], and its attacks are performed via "rolling" motions (such as QCF+P). |
|||
In ''EX 3'', He and Cycloid-γ become the completed human character [[#Ace|Ace]] who has access to all character moves. |
|||
===Cycloid-γ=== |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Cycloid-γ'''|サイクロイドγ|Saikuroido Ganma|"Cycloid Gamma"}} looks similar to Beta, only Gamma's a [[Wire frame model|wireframe model]]. He use attacks borrowed from other characters and don't speak. According to his ending in the Japanese PlayStation version of ''EX Plus α'', he is a cyborg who was built by Pullum{{'}}s father, Balba. |
|||
Cycloid-γ borrows attacks from [[Ken Masters|Ken]], [[M. Bison]], Pullum, [[Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]], [[Darun Mister|Darun]], Skullomania, Blair, [[Chun-Li]], [[#Cracker Jack|Cracker Jack]], [[Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma]] and Garuda, and its attacks are performed via charging motions. |
|||
In ''EX 3'', He and Cycloid-β become the completed human character [[#Ace|Ace]] who has access to all character moves. |
|||
==Introduced in ''Street Fighter EX 2''== |
|||
===Hayate=== |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Hayate'''|ハヤテ|Hayate}} is a Japanese swordsman from Kukunoichi village who is the son of a legendary hero who saved his village by vanquishing a giant storm named [[Orochi]]. He is one of the few characters in the ''Street Fighter'' series to use a sword, utilizing a fighting style similar to Garuda. Hayate appears in the original ''Street Fighter EX2'', but does not appear in the arcade version of ''Street Fighter EX2 Plus''. However, he does appear in the PlayStation version as a secret bonus character. |
|||
===Nanase=== |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Nanase'''|七瀬|Nanase}} is the younger sister to [[#Hokuto|Hokuto]] and [[#Kairi|Kairi]]. Like her siblings, she is a master of the Mizugami style of fighting. Because Kairi was cursed and possessed dangerous abilities, he was to be killed by their clan. When he loses his memories, the clan decides that exile is enough. |
|||
Kairi disappears and falls under the control of [[Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma]], which leads Hokuto to search for her brother and either save or destroy him. However, when Hokuto succumbs to the Seal of Blood, Nanase is left to find both her missing siblings and either free them or eliminate them. |
|||
Nanase, like Hayate, brings a weapon into combat. She has a staff weapon that can be extended through unknown means. |
|||
===Shadowgeist=== |
|||
<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Shadowgeits.jpg|right|thumb|Shadow Geist]] --> |
|||
At one time, the man who is now {{nihongo|'''Shadowgeist'''|シャドウガイスト|Shadougaisuto}} was a normal man. Living under a harsh dictatorship, he lost both his wife and daughter because of the oppressive government (the details surrounding their [[murder]] event are vague). Burning with revenge and contempt, Shadowgeist resolves to find the man responsible. |
|||
===Sharon=== |
|||
<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Sharon.jpg|right|thumb|Sharon Dame]] --> |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Sharon'''|シャロン|Sharon}} is a red haired woman with a [[tattoo]] of a red rose next to her neck who works as an A-class agent for an intelligence agency, as well as nun who takes care of orphaned children in a [[monastery]]. Her objective is to locate a missing relative whom she had never met in her life before. When she learns that a top member of an undisclosed criminal organization has the same tattoo she has, she begins to conduct an undercover investigation. |
|||
Sharon is the only ''Street Fighter'' character to not only use a gun (possibly Glock or H&K USP) in gameplay, but to also use an assault rifle M16 A2 as well. However, she requires two levels of super meter every time the player wishes to fire the handgun, as the first time she performs Hellfire simply causes her to load and cock the slide. |
|||
==Introduced in ''Street Fighter EX 2 Plus''== |
|||
===Area=== |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Area'''|エリア|Eria}} is a clever young girl, who is testing her father’s latest inventions, rocket skates and a giant mechanical arm. She, along with Vulcano Rosso and Sagat made their first ''EX'' series appearance in ''Street Fighter EX2 Plus''. Area thinks fighters are robots. Area's strongest super art causes her mechanical arm to break when used, and she will be unable to use any moves associated with it for the remainder of the match (not just for the round). |
|||
===Vulcano Rosso=== |
|||
<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Vulcano_Rosso.jpg|right|thumb|Vulcano Rosso]] --> |
|||
A rather mysterious combatant, the flamboyantly dressed {{nihongo|'''Vulcano Rosso'''|ヴルカーノ・ロッソ|Vurukāno Rosso}} carries a burden of pain. Since his lover was killed, his only thought has been revenge. He has the ability to create violent and dangerous attacks that utilize lava and volcanic eruptions. Rosso also has a multidirectional counter-attack, and a command-dash move that will not hit an opponent, but can pass through them. His name is the Italian translation of "Red Volcano." |
|||
Many of his moves reference places in Italy, such as [[Aetna (city)|Aetna]], [[Vesuvio]], [[Canossa]], [[Ponte dei Sospiri]], and [[Torre Pendente]]. His move, [[Vulcan]], references the [[Roman]] God of Fire. Rosso's odd appearance has been likened to that of [[Elvis Presley]]. |
|||
==Introduced in ''Street Fighter EX 3''== |
|||
===Ace=== |
|||
{{nihongo|'''Ace'''|エース|Ēsu}} is a secret agent of the government and is the final model of the Cycloid series of cyborgs. Therefore he can copy the movements of other fighters during the game. Ace is a fighter who the player can assign moves to by passing tests in the edit mode. Ace only appears in ''Street Fighter EX 3'', but has access to moves used by every character from the ''EX'' series. |
