Private Nakagawa: The design of Furinkazan [the word written in Kanji on his black belt] is on the rings spelled out on his fingers. As for the hat there is a rising dragon fist silhouette! There is a charm different from usual Ryu.
Lastly, we have B-Girl Chun-Li!
Private Nakagawa: Chun-Li is wearing a costume that can be gotten as part of this campaign. This … it sounds good. Red hair is innovative. You look nice!

Birthplace: China
Likes: Grapefruits, western sweets

Private Nakagawa: On her chest there is a Red Bull BC One x Street Fighter V specially-made necklace!
That wraps up another CFN Portal profile article. No release date for these costumes has been announced, but with the Red Bull BC One Nagoya World Final set to take place live on December 3rd, we’ll hopefully see them soon. For more CFN profiles, check out coverage of some of the World Warrior’s associates here.
After chronicling the History and Evolution of Cammy, Xuses returns to take a look at both Crimson Viper and Sagat, two characters that could be likely candidates for future Seasons of Street Fighter V.
Starting with Viper, he spotlights a handful of the most notable players who brought the CIA agent into battle throughout the lifespans of Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs. Capcom 3, such as Wolfkrone, Latif, MF|Tonpy, BT|Marlinpie, and Unkn0wn doing what they do best against the likes of RB|Luffy, Chris Hu, Secret|Poongko, RZR|Xian, BST|Daigo Umehara, Kawaguuchi, RDK, and AlukardNY. He closes with a look at Viper’s three appearances in the SFV Prologues of M. Bison, Juri, and Urien, perhaps laying the groundwork for a Season 2 appearance? You can catch the video below.
Moving on to Sagat, who has a much deeper Street Fighter history, Xuses begins by showing him playable in the original Street Fighter (via hacks) before moving on to a showcase of his proper playable debut in 1992’s Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. He also looks at his trio of appearances in the Alpha series, as well as 1995’s Street Fighter: The Movie, Street Fighter EX2 Plus and EX3, as well as his involvement in the Vs. series via Capcom vs. SNK and CvS2, and SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom. Finally, he moves on to the Emperor of Muay Thai’s more recent appearances, such as Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix in 2008, a rare non-fighting game appearance as a Boss Character in Street Fighter X Mega Man Version 2.0, and of course, Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken. Like with Viper, Xuses ends the video with a clip from Rashid’s Street Fighter V Prologue, where the Turbulent Wind discovers, through the Street Fighter universe’s version of Twitter, (the Capcom Fighters Network?) where the King may be residing these days, as Abel says that he “Found Sagat, former member of the Shadaloo Kings. What’s he doing here deep in the mountains…” You can see his video below.
After spending awhile covering the cast of Street Fighter EX, the CFN Portal site has returned to regular characters, showcasing more background characters and relatives to some of the most popular World Warriors, courtesy of the Shadaloo Activity Report.
First up, we have Sakura’s best friend, Kei Chitose!
Private Nakagawa: This time it’s a normal schoolgirl. A beautiful girl with long hair. She doesn’t fight. Ah, she’s the best friend of Sakura.
Basic Info:
Name: Kei Chitose
Height: 155 cm
Weight: 41 kg
Blood Type: 0
Birthday: November 14th
Country of Origin: Japan
Likes: Handsome Guys
Dislikes: Rollercoasters
Private Nakagawa: She watches patiently over her friend, so into Street Fighting. Her school records aren’t particularly good nor bad. She possesses a wonderful memory, though, and never forgets the face and name of a person she met, even only once. She collects any sort of merchandise that’s cephalopods-alien related. [as popularized by H. G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Apparently, Japanese have a particular fetish for them, as their presence as Mars People in Metal Slug can attest…]
Next up, we have another member of the Glade of Ninjas, who appeared in Ibuki’s Street Fighter III: Third Strike intro, holding a punching bag, Yūta Homura! You can see an in-game image of him below.
Private Nakagawa: His name is read as “Yūta Homura.” He’s affiliated with the same shinobi village as Ibuki.
Basic Info:
Name: Yūta Homura
Height: 167cm

Dislikes: Centipedes
Private Nakagawa: A ninja who is affiliated with the shinobi village. He’s a passionate young man who aspires to open his own store. He trains alongside Ibuki and Sarai Kurosawa. His taijutsu is great, but his ninjutsu is horribly weak. He’s talented at playing beat ’em up games. Apparently, it’s a piece of cake for him to clear a whole game with Jennety using one coin. [Jennety: aka Mack the Knife, aka Mummy Commando from the Captain Commando series.]
Now, we present Sakura’s little brother, Tsukishi Kasugano!
Private Nakagawa: Kasugano….? Apparently, this is the brother of that Sakura girl. He too can probably shoot Hadokens and stuff just by watching and imitating them. Huh, he’s just an ordinary boy? Great that’s good to know.
Basic Info:
Name: Tsukushi Kasugano
Height: 159cm
Weight: 49kg
Blood type: O
Birthday: March 29th

Here he is at home playing the Fighting RPG “Ryuken Tsuyoshiki” [“Dragon Punch Adamant Tale”]
Private Nakagawa: He’s a noble and honest kid who loves games. However, he doesn’t like to move his body around too much. During SF Alpha 3 he was doing a speedrun of “Ryuken Tsuyoshiki 2” and barely went outside. With the current launch of the CPSP2 he’s obsessed with the super-fighting RPG “Ryuken Tsuyoshiki Gaiden Chapter Roar.” By the way, he’s also very talented at drawing pictures, which he’s even been awarded for at school.
Now we head back to SFIII to take a look at the hot-blooded tsundere tomboy, girlfriend of Yun, Hoimei!
Private Nakagawa: She’s the girlfriend of Yang’s brother Yun since they were kids. She works at her father’s grocery shop. She also has a sister named Shaomei.

She dislikes people who have a wonky character. Because of the brother’s troublesome nature, she keeps a keen eye on them. Apparently, she has favored Yun ever since they were childhood friends.
Finally, we have her sister, and Yang’s girlfriend, Shaomei!
Private Nakagawa: A girl who knew Yun and Yang since childhood. Younger sister of Hoimei. She is a quiet but reliable girl.
Basic Info:
Name: Shaomei
Height: 152 cm
Weight: 42 kg
Blood type: AB
Birthday: July 1st
Home Country: Hong Kong
Likes: Chihuahuas

Private Nakagawa: She appears docile and quiet, unlike her active and lively sister. But she is actually someone who really battles on when needed. She firmly supports her sister, who worries about the brothers, set off on a journey. It seems she has a kindlier feeling towards Yang.
For a closer look at Shaomei and Hoimei, they appear in Yang’s Third Strike ending and Yun’s AE ending, as seen below.
And so ends another round of CFN Portal profiles; you can check out the final round of Street Fighter EX character profiles, covering the Cycloids and Ace, here.
After finishing the Street Fighter EX2 characters by covering Shadowgeist and Sharon, the CFN Portal site completes the Shadaloo Activity Report’s Profiles on the playable members of the EX cast, by shining the spotlight on the Cycloids and Ace! As always, NIN, Senior Official of Shadaloo and alter-ego of ARIKA founder Akira Nishitani, joins Private Nakagawa in providing additional commentary on the characters he had a hand in creating.
First up, we have the wireframe warrior who debuted in 1997’s EX Plus, Cycloid Gamma!
Private Nakagawa: Barba, the father of Pullum Purna, has been constructing combat weapons. Barba had created various products but now he’s willing to work for Shadaloo! (I just don’t know where they are.)
Basic Info:
Name: Cycloid – γ
Height: 180cm
Weight: 80kg
Blood Type: None
Date of Manufacture: January 17th
Place of Manufacture: Shadaloo
Likes: Learning combative techniques and maneuvers
Dislikes: Being treated carelessly
Private Nakagawa: It had originally been produced for Shadaloo as a devastating weapon. Thankfully, with the help of Barba, who is now affiliated with Shadaloo (forcefully), it’s been promoting our plans for world domination. Since the final adjustments had been halted and refused by Mr. Barba, Shadaloo’s Technology Department took the initiative to finish it. During the occasional times that it runs away, it adds to its collection of skills, which makes it an excellent fighter. It’s orange wireframe-ish look is certainly fashionable.
Huh, oh, it escaped! Oh dear, wait a second. This just in, I just received word from our Senior correspondent!
NIN: For some reason, I wanted a character which gave off a strange vibe, and thus it was created. Naturally, at first it was just a wireframe and merely a representation of textures, but the lines were being magnified as the camera came in for a close up. Overall, I think it was rough. The manner in which we drew the lines directly, eventually that became its current look. Doctrine also used similar wires which resulted in the same blunder, so I remember deciding to draw the lines.
Next, we have it’s more humanoid-looking counterpart, which also debuted in EX Plus, Cycloid Beta!
Private Nakagawa: I don’t know where this mysterious weapon came from. It seems composed of a translucent pale blue material. I wonder if it’s cold to the touch.
Basic Info:
Name: Cycloid – β
Height: Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Blood Type: Unknown
Date of manufacture: Unknown
Production field: Unknown
Likes: Unknown
Dislikes: Unknown
Private Nakagawa: The last time Cycloid – γ escaped, it had discovered an unidentified weapon it was tracking. It seems to like the activity of running away like Cycloid – γ. Other than that, it’s shrouded in mystery. Similar to Cycloid – γ it has learned mixed martial arts skills from other fighters.
NIN: Just like γ we wanted him to have a strange vibe. It’s just, in the world of programming around that time, mirror surface processing, refraction of light through transparent objects, and representation of flames, had all started to become the new craze. I wanted to know how we could introduce these elements in EX. Though we were a bit late for the time of being pioneers, we maintained in releasing the character, and later as the character’s representation became interesting, I got a sense of wanting him to reappear.
Finally, we have the last playable EX Character, and the only New Challenger to appear in EX3, the cyborg with a fully-customizable fighting style: Ace!
Private Nakagawa: Apparently, a spy has infiltrated our Shadaloo base and has accomplished his mission in securing the confidential blueprints of the “weapon.” If he understands it, then he’s discovered a lot!
Basic Info:
Name: Ace
Height: 182cm
Weight: 83kg
Blood type: B
Birthday: May 5th
Home Country: Japan
Likes: Training
Dislikes: Horror movies
Private Nakagawa: The man who is rumored to be a talented and competent agent. He has a device implanted in his spine which can analyze cards that hold data on fighting skills, and by loading them, he can learn every type of mixed martial art, holding the ability to possibly master them all.
NIN: He’s able to be edited with a variety of techniques. In fact, there was a grand scheme, I had wanted to add him into a side-scrolling action mode.
Examples of the obstacles were:
Darun’s Indra Bahsi A, B, C due to the continuous jumping up and down you could slip out of it conveniently.
Doctrine’s wire being swung like a pendulum. It would disconnect whenever the opponent was on the opposite side of it, and with good timing, you could slip through it.
We could’ve made edits according to the situations needed and continued to go ahead with the project. But it was just a dream, no matter how irrational the decision the project was abandoned during production.
Well, that closes the curtain on all of the Street Fighter EX profiles, as the entire playable cast has now been covered. For more information on the EX Characters, you can check out the profiles for the rest of the cast below:
Stay tuned to Shoryuken for continued coverage of more CFN Portal profiles! Let us know about your experiences with the EX series in the comments below! Do you hope any of these characters could return in a future Season of Street Fighter V?
After taking a look at the two new challengers of Street Fighter EX 2 Plus, the CFN Portal site rounds out the Shadaloo Activity Report’s files on the EX2 roster by spotlighting the anti-hero Shadowgeist, and the secret agent who lives a double life as a caring nun: Sharon! Once again, Senior Officer of Shadaloo NIN continues to provide his supplementary commentary to Private Nakagawa about ARIKA’s creations.
Private Nakagawa: Another one has appeared! A mysterious man! His costume looks cooler than the previous man of mystery. What, … a hero? …. Is that so.
Basic Info:
Name: Shadowgeist
Height: 197cm
Weight: 100kg
Blood Type: Unknown
Birthday: Unknown
Country of Origin: Unknown
Likes: Justice
Dislikes: Irrationality in the world
Private Nakagawa: His wife was murdered by his country which is lead by a dictatorship, and his beloved only daughter had also gone missing. He remodeled his own human body by strengthening it in order to take his revenge, turning himself into an enhanced human and a tragic hero. He fights to protect the people from becoming victims of that country like he once was.
As I expected, he has a very hardcore background profile…. In addition, it seems he has a self-destruct mechanism embedded in his body. Even today, we have a comment from our Senior colleague!
NIN: He is really cool! Definitely one of my favorite designs. Me, personally, I really enjoy this kind of mysterious men and monsters! His Super Combo “Death Energy” has the effect of pulling in the opponent towards him, which was the result of the various awkward bugs which occurred, I feel bitter remembering it…
Lastly, to close out the EX2 characters, we have the woman who is a caring nun by day, yet a secret assassin by night, Sharon!
Private Nakagawa: The beautiful woman with rose-colored hair. Formally, she is ostensibly a monastery nun. Though her true identity is that of an agent of the intelligence organization!
Basic Info:
Name: Sharon
Height: 172cm
Weight: 62kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: September 7th
Home Country: France?
Likes: Lost parents
Dislikes: Unconvincing circumstances
Private Nakagawa: She was raised in a French monastery as an orphan. When she was a young girl she dreamed of reuniting with her long-lost parents. She’s an A-class spy with prospective abilities and she is prompted to carry out the assassination of a certain individual… She has a rose tattoo on her chest. Apparently, it seems she’s also skilled with handling firearms.
NIN: She’s pretty and I really like her design, another one of the unsung heroes (?). How sad. I wonder if the generally proportioned, comparatively common, feeling among the darker members is suited for the EX series? Among other things is her rose tattoo, somehow it doesn’t feel like there’s a lot in terms of an interesting story background and settings? What if you were the person in charge of preparing and writing the original narrative, LOL.
And so, we arrive at the end of the EX2 cast. For further information on the EX2 characters, you can take a look at our coverage of Nanase, Hayate, Vulcano Rosso and Area here and here, as well as a special piece on Secret “Heroes & History” rejected costume concepts here. Keep it locked on Shoryuken for more CFN Portal profiles as they appear!

After covering Yuri and Alice last week, VesperArcade returns with more Trial Mode guides for The King of Fighters XIV. This time, he tackles another old school/new school duo in the Korean taekwondo fighter for justice Kim Kaphwan, and the Brazilian ninja Bandeiras Hattori. As always, Vesper includes a handcam, allowing viewers to see both the moves on-screen and his motions and inputs in real-time, providing an extra level of aid to complete this element of training. You can see both videos below.
You can check out his other KOFXIV Trial Guides below:
After profiling Nanase and Hayate last week, the CFN Portal resumes its coverage of the Street Fighter EX characters, as the Shadaloo Activity Report examines the two cast members added to EX2’s Plus update, Vulcano Rosso and Area!
Released in 1999, a year after the original EX2, in both arcades and on the PlayStation, EX2 Plus saw the EX debut of Sagat and the returns of M. Bison, Pullum Purna and Darun Mister, who were excluded from the original EX2. It also introduced the Meteor Combo system, that served to compliment the Super and new Excel Combos, a system resembling Alpha 3’s Custom Combos, which underwent further refinement, and allowed all characters on the roster access to a Level 3 Super, which only a few had previously.
As always, NIN, Senior Officer of Shadaloo, returns to provide Private Nakagawa with additional commentary on the characters.
Private Nakagawa: The Italian-born dandy! His clothes and hair look so cool, don’t they! Quattro Panorama! Was so cool! [Nakagawa should’ve said “Quattro panorami,” (four views) which is plural. Panorama is singular, therefore he said “Four view.”]
Basic Info:
Name: Vulcano Rosso [“Red Volcano”]
Height: 187 cm
Weight: 87 kg
Blood Type: B
Birthday: October 12
Country of Origin: Italy
Likes: Vino rosso [“Red wine”], Early renaissance art
Dislikes: Traitors, Those who don’t comprehend art
Private Nakagawa: Born in Bari, Apulia. He was a member of an organization that seized Europe, but due to a traitor, he lost his beloved one. This motive lead him to leave the organization, and he became a vindictive rebel, burning with vengeance. In his days as a member, he went into contact with the American “Crackers.” He got to know Jack, a masterful bouncer and competent bodyguard. Even today, we have a comment from our Senior colleague!
NIN: The concept was of a pseudo-kung-fu expert. His “vulcanus” [from the Latin name of Vulcan, the ancient Roman God of Fire] projectile had a leaf bud-like shape, and its tuning gave me the chills. I loved his “Tameiki no Hashi,” [literally translated from the Italian Ponte dei sispiri, aka “Bridge of Sighs,” a famed bridge in Venice] both in name and in appearance!
To close things out, we’ve got the woman with “Iron Eyes,” Area!
Private Nakagawa: An inventor girl. She brims with curiosity, but once she fixates onto something, she can’t see anything else in her surroundings anymore. We have such a person, too! His name is F.A.N.G…
Basic Info:
Name: Area
Height: 152 cm
Weight: 41 kg
Blood Type: AB
Birthday: September 5
Country of Origin: UK
Likes: Research, Data Collection/Analysis, Her Father’s Inventions
Dislikes: Sports
Private Nakagawa: She fights using “Cancer” equipment, developed from her father, who is also an inventor. She takes part in fighting tournaments in order to attract worldwide attention and appeal, as well as to obtain new data for “Cancer” and her father’s inventions. Apparently, amidst all the fighters, she likes Mecha Zangief.
NIN: We have a special comment and illustrations from our Mihara. [Ichirō Mihara, a mangaka and ARIKA’s Vice President, as well as the company’s co-founder with Nishitani.]
Mihara: Nowadays, Area has far surpassed her father’s skills as an inventor.
The profile also included some extremely detailed illustrations of Area, showing off some of the elements of her development process, including suggestions from the artist to the development team, translated by Midgardsorm, that you can see below.
That wraps up another set of CFN Portal Profiles! For more EX goodness, you can check out coverage of Nanase and Hayate, also from EX2, here. Do you have any fond memories playing or battling against either of these characters? What do you think of their updated designs? Sound off in the Comments!

After a three-month break, LiangHUBBB is back with episode 96 of his long-running Funny and Cool Moments series. Though the series has been running for over six years now, there are still countless entertaining moments from a variety of both modern and classic fighting game titles on display for your viewing pleasure.
This episode includes clips from Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, Mortal Kombat XL, Street Fighter V, King of Fighters XIV, Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- and Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, as well as classic titles, like Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code and Samurai Shodown, just to name a few.
Highlights include Steve hitting Law with his Rage Art, sending him into the sky–before the game freezes up and he never comes down for the K.O., as he’s seemingly doomed to drift through space. We’ve also got some swaggy V-trigger sequences with Ibuki, Urien and R. Mika, who also finds herself seeing stars after literally putting Ryu on a bus in the Bustling Side Street. Another Ryu player falls victim to a bomb-packing Rashid, Shadow Chie shows an unsuspecting Minazuki player the power of “the True Self,” with P4AU Version 2.0’s improved Shadow Frenzy mechanic, Nakoruru misfires her Climax super and a poor Bison player EX Devil Reverses his way into Karin’s Critical Art. In perhaps my favorite clip, Vega ensures that Balrog “won’t see the full 10 count,” by knocking him out of the startup of Gigaton Blow for a narrowly-earned victory, and we even have a Double K.O. from TFC 2016 on everyone’s favorite DOA5LR stage: the Danger Zone.
And what would a Funny and Cool Moments video be without some salty microphone rants from the online realm, with UM Imstilldaddy and Netotigr losing it in moments that are certainly NSFW. We also learn that-even in 2016-with Injustice 2 on the horizon next year, there are some players who still can’t help but rage at Deathstroke in Injustice: Gods Among Us!
What were your favorite moments in this video? Was this your first time seeing some of these wacky sequences? Let us know in the comments. You can check out the other 95 episodes of Funny & Cool Moments, as well as various other videos on LiangHUBBB’s Channel.
