Glimpse Inside the Illuminati with These Latest Street Fighter V CFN Profiles

Anyone who’s seen Street Fighter V’s Cinematic Story Mode knows that the future machinations of Gill and Urien are beginning to be set into motion. Courtesy of the CFN Portal, we’ll take a look at some of the associates–and experiments–of the Illuminati, also known as the “Secret Society.”

First up is Eleven, who as the name implies, is the predecessor to Street Fighter III’s Twelve, an artificial life form that can manipulate its body and features in a variety of ways.

Basic Information:

Name: Eleven
Height: 170cm (variable)
Weight: 60kg (variable)
Blood Type: Unknown
Birthday: Unknown
Country of Origin: Unknown
Favorite thing: Unknown
Dislikes: Unknown

A life form created by the Secret Society from plants, rather than animals; apparently, it is possible for it to mimic other figures. It has no free will or intentions, and will only faithfully do what it has been ordered to. But it still seems to be in the prototype stage…

Next up is the perfected specimen of this research, Twelve.

Basic Information:

Name: Twelve
Height: 175cm (variable)
Weight: 85kg (variable)
Blood Type: Unknown
Birthday: Unknown
Country of Origin: Unknown
Favorite thing: Unknown
Dislikes: Unknown

The “pure-white slaughter weapon!” Once you’ve become its target, the end is near for you. A powerful warrior given birth by Gill’s organization, a mass produced slaughter machine–reports stating over 500 of them have been identified. It can copy the appearance of an opponent, modify its appearance, change its arms into sharp blades, and even disappear by becoming transparent, making itself invisible to the human eye. It can even generate a patgium membrane between its arms and legs to glide through the air.

Moving on, we have Necro’s girlfriend and one of Street Fighter III’s “Judgment Girls,” the mysterious Effie:

Basic Information:

Name: Effie
Height: 152cm
Weight: 40kg
Blood Type: Unknown
Birthday: Unknown
Country of Origin: Unknown
Favorite things: red
Dislikes: secret organization

In addition to Effie, it seems this guy was also “remodeled.” It seems they were given special abilities and sent into war. Somehow, she uses a chainsaw…

Next up, we have the devious man behind all of these creations, Dr. Wu! A genius scholar belonging to Gill’s organization, the creator of Eleven and Twelve, and also the person who preformed modification surgery on Necro.

Basic Information:

Name: Dr. Wu
Height: 152cm
Weight: 67kg
Blood type: B
Birthday: February 26,
Country of Origin: China
Favorite things: Experimental study
Dislikes: violence

He was originally a world-famous scientist before he was kidnapped by the secret society. Since his capture, he has been using Urien’s body reconstruction theories as a base to produce a variety of biological weapons. It seems he has also benefited from this himself. His IQ is above 1300 (self-proclaimed).

To close things out, we’ll take a look at the woman behind Nash’s resurrection, Helen–who later becomes Gill’s secretary, Kolin.

Basic Info:

Name: Helen
Height: 168cm
Weight: 65kg
Blood type: AB
Birthday: February 14
Country of Origin: Unknown
Favorite things: reading, butterflies
Dislikes: Unknown

The one who found the mysteriously resurrected person Nash in those ancient ruins. A gentle-looking woman who leaves quite an impression; she’s always reading an old book she carries with her.

Basic Info:

Name: Kolin
Height: 168cm
Weight: 65kg
Blood type: AB
Birthday: February 14
Country of Origin: Unknown
Favorite things: reading, butterflies
Dislikes: Everything except Master Gill, soldiers

She has a very cunning and calculating personality, and she will achieve her objective by any means necessary. She will sometimes deceive her opponents with a friendly tone and her soft, kind voice. She is involved behind-the-scenes with a variety of incidents.

That wraps up another round of profiles, but make sure to check out our coverage of the protagonists of the canceled Capcom Fighting All-Stars here.

Behold Urien’s Reset Potential for Street Fighter V

We’re still waiting for a release date for the final member of Street Fighter V’s Season One DLC fighters, Urien; and while the fully playable version of the character is expected soon, players have had access to an earlier build of Urien as part of the General Story update. This of course has allowed intrepid PC modders to liberate Urien from our limited story mode access to explore what he’s capable of in more depth.

In the video below, Ultimacloud demonstrates the sort of nasty resets Urien is capable of, particularly through the use of his Aegis Reflector V-trigger. This gives us a good idea of the sort of scary shenanigans the rest of us can expect when he officially launches–but naturally, the final version Capcom eventually brings us might change slightly compared to what we see here.

“I Hope to Show People that Hard Work Pays Off”: NerdJosh Talks with Red Bull about His Life of Gaming

TeamSpooky’s Josh “NerdJosh” Jodoin has long been a fixture within the fighting game community. From Marvel vs. Capcom 2, to winning Street Fighter X Tekken’s Cross Assault, to Guilty Gear Xrd, the man has played more titles competitively than we care to count. Red Bull, in their interview with NerdJosh, cites him as “one of the most knowledgeable players in the scene, and it’s not uncommon for him to dominate the early days of a title’s competitive life due to his ability to quickly learn and apply all levels of fighting game systems.”

With longevity in the scene, as well as being one of the most knowledgeable players out there, it’s no surprise to see him interviewed. Within the interview, he discusses his early years of play: “One day, a man in a Navy uniform taught me how to charge with Guile… This was the confidence I need to master all the moves in the game.” He further talks about what playing in each scene has taught him, as well as what it was like to win Cross Assault, stating “I couldn’t really believe that I had become some sort of personality in the community.”

For more of the interview, please hop over to Red Bull to read on.
