The Street Fighter VI Story Thread: Shadaloo Died so Luke Could Live!

@Chun-Li_ForeverZangief, pls. Give no fucks about Haggar in, if price is no Zangief

Honestly way too few new characters. Base roster needs AT LEAST 4 new characters and likely closer to 8. A third of the roster should be new and another third should be returning that we haven't seen in a bit.

 

Would LOVE get lot of new characters, game doing bit of time jump may be the good chance for it

I actually want the next Street Fighter to have a large roster, but i know we wont get that 😩, and i also wish for some EX characters also they arent canon. They legit are some of the best characters out there. 

SFEX characters (or at least some of them) ironically ARE potentially canon, problem is Capcom does'nt own them

 

It's only thanks to one character being included in SFV story*, but still that open the door for other characters of same universe to exist too until proven contrary

 

SFEX cast situation at this point is probably like Slam Masters one, where for owernship rights shit you can't show them (unless there's a deal with Arika, like for SFV costumes) but they can occasionally get mentioned

 

Guess in theory if Capcom REALLY want a SFEX char to be in they would be able to probably get one as Guest doing a deal with Arika, but i doubt

 

 

*Darun. During ASF events even if not seen on screen, Zangief give to him his own chess piece, wich is apparently the canon reason him and Guile go to take it back in India canon wise

I think they bombard the initial roster with new characters. I think this new team are more excited to do their own thing than

 

I don't think Necro and Eagle would return even I like those characters to return even since Season 1 of SFV. I got a bad feeling for Sean even I like him to return. I really dislike Dan but the odds always favor him over Sean because of nonsense biases. As for Alex? the guy is liked and had potential the theme but it all comes down to the priority of the new leads.

 

At first I thought the new leads didn't care that much about the Neo Shadaloo but probably they will put them either bring Ed or someone new from the concept and then redesign him.

 

I don't think we'll see 2 ninja girls and they likely pick Ibuki over Maki because Capcom. I know it's unfair and It's weird since they allow to 2 FlashKickersSonicBoomers characters and multiple shoto characters in one game. But the issue of more blonde thing is still gonna happen in SF6.

 

Sawada, Blair, Fuerte and is unlikely, As for Azam nobody was really concern for him after Season 3 onwards. So they might keep him a background character. Even Rashid might not even return.

 

They probably create a new character that is at the same archetype to Fuerte instead of returning him.  Same likely for Abel they probably replace his represented archetype with a new character. 

 

Characters like Juri, Urien, Poison, Rose, Makoto, Yang and Yun are probably DLC bait.

 

Dudley, Fei Long, Elena, Laura, G, Kolin, Sakura might be DLC bait or initial roster, Akira would like be over Daigo due to popularity. I want to believe Haggar is now his one of the character I really want to spar with Gief but I have second thoughts 

 

Multiple Crossover Character and What if Characters, will appearing in DLC season is something that probably happen if the initial launch of SF6 would end up as a disaster just like SFV. They are instant cash grab potential to continuous funding to save the game regardless if it would heavy alter the initial planned theme  of SF6. I have a feeling the new leads from Capcom would take inspiration with MK11 this time regarding handling DLC Characters. if the initial launch of SF6 didn't meet the expectation or market projection.

I'm ok with Juri  being DLC. As much as i want her to be base roster i know she is way too popular not to be used as a DLC bait. My only wish is that she will be early DLC, not fucking year 5 like it happened  ( sadly )  to Rose or year 4 like it happened to Poison. 

 

4 to 5 years of waiting is too much for me personally. 

 

When it comes to characters i will actually PLAY gimme Juri, Poison, Laura, Maki for the chicks and Gouken , Adon for the dudes  and i'm happy. Ofc i would like many others that i won't necessarily play but i would still welcome them in the roster regardless.

Juri is a guarantee money maker DLC for Capcom than Akuma haha, So chance for DLC1 is coming unless they didn't still realize it yet. Juri should had been in KOFAllstars and PowerRangers

 

The PR team hasn't realize it yet but She should have been marketed as a crossover character for their promotion for mobile games. Probably they missed it because all the other mobile crossover were more from team JP yet.

 

Adon also had potential even in the initial roster this time. Probably with Sodom 

 

I really like Lee than Yun and Yang but Genei Jin is profit haha

Fully agree, her image sells incredibly well. They do know it, keep in mind she is the only new character ( compared to world warriors ) that is featured on the main cover of SF duel main art.So yea...they do know. What they chose to do with KOF all star is debatable but its whatevs to me personally.

If she is DLC i hope it's indeed year 1 DLC. But then again she was DLC year 1 in SFV as well,will history repeat itself ? Though it's highly suspected that she was base roster of SFV but they had to push it to DLC because SFV's messy launch ( the fact that she was playable in the main story that also got pushed ,further proves this ).

I always liked his playstyle and even though he is an asshole in the story, i like the character. Bring him back please.

Unsure Yun and Yang fans would be happy with this but they could make these two as a one character with a  switch / swap style mechanic like they did with Zeku.

Yeah, They might had not realize it in their bubble in JP but across overseas and even around the world Juri is a real big hit. 

 

It seems that Luke is forced to take the spot of Ken, It's an aggressive marketing promotion for the new leads. We'll see if their aggressive move by putting him to spotlight will payoff in SF8. If people still see Luke to be someone relevant and deserve to keep on being the spotlight of story future progression or he'll end up like Rashid, Abel and Alex, beside by liking him because of gameplay advantage.

 

Juri aged well to the community. her design and backstory helped her, she was something that C.Viper probably hoped by Capcom in terms of popularity and appeal to sell out a SF4 character that is an ANTI-CHUNLI female new comer. Just like Necali was to Kage in SF5.

 

If MVC3 was release something late she would had take C.Viper's spot in that game instead.

 

 

 

The problem with Luke is his another Kid that wants to fight Ryu, be the very best and along the goodie two shoes character, that want to be this and that to honor justice or be like his predecessor or someone his look up for that's kinda late 90s protagonist template.

 

Both Abel and Rashid was looking for someone in their past, which if the motivation  is resolve it becomes lose  and their future involve lose weigh unlike Ryu. Luke has that Ryu like I want to become something stronger and looking for challenge.

 

But Anti-Heroes as protagonist are more popular and relatable today like Ed, he had more potential to grow and can be easily relatable to the newer demographic that they aren't bad but they became that way because of the experiences given to them by those who had power, which is the same as Juri. And they are not a another Chun li and Guile that is out to their to avenge or do something to honor their predecessor, Same with Alex that's kinda 80s template just like Terry Bogard. 
 

[BootyWarrior]

No one wants to get rid of Ryu and Ken more than Capcom themselves. I don't think Ken fans would accept him as DLC, even if Sean's in the base roster. 

[YagamiFire]

As an SF4 Adon main, I HIGHLY support his return. Adon is awesome.

[Skort]

Worked on a list that is meant to showcase the chance of most characters returning to SF6 as a playable character. Not a wishlist . It's not meant to represent a launch roster,just my personal opinion on what are the odds of most of the SF cast to be returning to the game be it base roster or later down the line, obviously not all at once.

 

It's a bit tricky because we don't know the timeline that  the story will take place in and how will that dictate what characters can be used in the roster itself but here goes nothing.

 

 

 PS : I can see  some characters from  "low chance" and "highly unlikely" to make cameos in the main  story or arcade endings  as non playable characters way before they get added to the game as playable character, if added at all.

Edited April 8, 2022 by Skort

[BootyWarrior]

Gen is officially dead if they revive the "Gen's female disciple" concept. Characters dying in the narrative is fine but when their disciple takes their moves and surpass their master in popularity it's game over.

 

 

Rose survived because she's a hot girl with story relevance. Putting Gouken in the game will kill the allure of Ryu's redesign, Zeku is already overshadowed by his students, Retsu is a literally who and Oro is would make a perfect background character. It hurts to see all the old men so low but this is reality.

I mostly agree

 

Some things where i don't

 

-Ed and Falke should probably share same category, i doubt they will make one playable and not the other (unless they want turn Falke into NPC next to Knife and Gorilla)

 

-i think Q in some form have decent chances as G is popular and 6 may explore his mystery

 

-i wish to share your optimism about Zangief chances, i really do

Yea i see your point. I'm ok with Falke being a playable character but i don't think her connection with ED will necessarily guarantee that. If ED is added to the roster, Falke will most likely appear in his story cutscenes. There were more important characters lorewise that have been part of big events that were not made playable. Take for example Gouken in SFV.Big name, but not added as playable.

If it's accepted that they are one and the same i can see Q returning as a "costume" / alternate look to G who will most likely return to SF 6. But both  as selectable characters, separate characters i personally don't see it.

He remains the most recognizable big body grappler of the franchise. I just don't see it how Capcom will leave him out.

Sodom and Eagle should be way sooner, and S5 needs to not exist.

 

 

Anyway, here's MY SF6 roster:

 

First 22 characters are launch.  After that, 6 characters per DLC season.

 

Will only take 10 years to reach the end!

Not bad in down sizing them, you can still find a better pair substitute for unlikely characters and to those with high demands and possible choice biases from capcom

 

Ibuki and Mika has now a relationship and connection because of Karin

 

Guy and Maki, Zeku and Gouken, Elena and Makoto, Lucia/Cody and Haggar, Lee and Gen,

 

Karin and Birdie, Sakura and Akira, Vega and Juri?

 

 

[Darc_Requiem]

I like the idea of Gen's disciple but I too think the male concept is WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY better than the female concept. Hell, I don't even mind the weird ass scarring. Him and Decapre can form a support group.

[Skort]

Regarding the roster size i think it's likely we will see more than the 16 we saw in SFV. 

 

Reasons : 

 

•  they can't really afford to mess another launch by having a small roster
•  regardless of when the game was announced i think SF 6 is in development for quite some time actually, so they had time to develop
• if rumors are true and it was supposed to be a tag team game, chances are they developed more characters initially for the main roster. Yes the tag team idea was scrapped they say ,but of course they will still be using their existing assets ,in this case characters,more in number because they were initially planned to be  used as teams.
•  SFV's fight money cosmetics and artworks etc  were in my opinion testing grounds for a far more complex system that Capcom will be implementing in SF 6 when it comes to customization of the characters. I do not expect Soulcalibur level of customization but i do expect SF 6 to expand on this feature. This will of course be monetized by Capcom via real money or offer the player some kind of way to grind for the items. More characters to the roster will allow Capcom to develop more cosmetics and increase the chance of their system to return money since the variety will be higher on who buys what for who.

 

I think it's gonna have  somewhere between 22 - 26 for the initial roster.

20 - 22 is not bad and honestly more realistic but i would like more 24 - 26.  

 

However 2 to 5 extra characters won't make or break the game for me when it comes to initial roster. Hit the nail on the head with the art direction,have balanced and good gameplay and provide a good netcode and you have my attention

 

As i said before, when it comes to SF 6 i remain intrigued but very cautious this time around.

1- Yes i can see that happen too (was meaning that with turn her into NPC with Knife/Gorilla)... guess lot depend what new SF6 people think about Ed and Neo Shadaloo as a whole, if are a valuable asset to work on or V-Trash to ignore as much as possible. Depending on that number may be anything between 0 and 4 lol

 

2- Yeah, that i was meaning, if G end up be (or become) Q, have G will mean have Q... be it a costume or not even that (like an ending hinting it will technically already be enough)

I don't desire or think will be wise get both at same time  as playable chars

 

3- All true and still i'm nervous about it and will be till the day he's announced lol

[Daemos]

Here are my character PREDICTIONS for SF6 during the first 12-18 months of release. This isn't necessarily a wishlist, just the crystal ball speaking....

1- Twelve (or Thirteen?) will be playable and show off the full power of the RE engine like you've never seen before.

2- Q

3- FANG's Disciple

4- Ken or Akuma will be in the base roster, the other will be S1 DLC.

5- Vega/Claw will be the only true Shadaloo character.

6- Yun/Yang will be one character like Zeku.

7- Necalli in a new form will surprise.

8- Cammy will wear pants for her default.

9- Elena's standing animation will return and it will eclipse SF3's at last.
10- Ed will kill himself to stop Bison from returning. 

 11- Bison will return anyway as the final character of S3 in time for the first physical re-release of the game. <---- BONUS PREDICTION!!!! YW!

Ideally, for some of the sweatier combos, Capcom would actually make new characters to form better teams.

Example:  I'd actually prefer if Luke and Alex were a team.  But that leaves Remy without a suitable partner.  It would be great if they actually made Elizabeth a character to team with him.

 

I'm also not a huge fan of Nash+Gen.  Being dead is the only thing they have in common.  Give me Gen's disciple(male).  Then give me a new character that fits with Able(or Guile) so I can stick Nash with Guile(or Abel).

This would honestly be a good way to incorporate a gimmick like SF6 Seth has where you copy an ability. Give Twelve/Thirteen a copy-ability that lets him take a power/ability and it changes his form or some of his animations somehow

1 hour ago, DarthEnderX said:

Canon Sawada. Seriously, he could be a neat character. Japanese-American soldier? That'd be cool. Hell, make him younger than Guile but older than Luke and tie him in with Luke. Maybe someone trying to convince Luke to return to the service? A friend/rival?

 

Then go the extra step and have the male Gen disciple be a genuine enemy for them.

 

EDIT:

Alright I'm invested in this now...

 

Luke is the flashier MMA style fighter already

 

Canon Sawada is more no-nonsense in his fighting style and its something not dissimilar from Charlie (so his SFV style has some carry-over into the new game)

 

Apprentice has a very fast stance-switching style as call back to Gen but with the speed of Zeku to create a gameplay legacy for him from SFV as well. His overall style would be wickedly pragmatic and vicious.

 

All three would have 'effective' martial arts styles but in totally different directions. Competition, military, murder

 

Also Gen's apprentice should never have even met the man. He should be a spiritual apprentice in that he holds Gen in great esteem. I dunno, perhaps as a boy he was being trafficked and Gen incidentally saved him simply by wiping out the men trafficking him as part of a hit Gen was paid for. No altruism, no heroics on Gen's part. Just a job. Apprentice continues in Gen's hitman/assassin footsteps but has a slight sliver of potential heroism in him because of his background. He hates the right kind of people to hate.

 

That could potentially lead into the apprentice crossing paths with Chun-Li perhaps both because of her father's connection to Gen and because of the apprentice's criminal activity drawing her into his circle. Hell, he could even recognize the her kick inherited from Gen. Down the line, you could eventually direct that into a bit of an arc for the character realizing the complexity of Gen and his own potential for wielding his fist for something meaningful. Gen lived a life, ultimately, of sorrow and died unfulfilled...if his apprentice takes up his torch, he should certainly take it in a more meaningful direction to honor the man.

Only if it means we can avoid Yun/Yang for another 7 years. 

But unfortunately, I have it on good authority (my Uncle) that Capcom are doing their take on the Kombat Kids this game. At least half the base roster will be under-25 proteges, students, descendants, children, etc.

Yeah they probably re-invent Twelve - Since this is a new team not someone that maintaining something. They will make their own take but likely that would be a DLC

 

If Fang's Disciple was designed after Kage's released it's likely that backstory character will materialize but if it's part of Ono era that's like be forgotten or just appear on the sideline if FANG manage to return as a playable character

===============================================

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Capcom already had learned not to spill everything, from real hacks malware attack and that is the only  that can penetrate them to able to leak

 

Capcom is using their social media to misdirect speculations and even if the guesses too connected. It would be just a New Character instead that never had ever existed in SF so nobody wins haha

 

I don't think they go African Ninja Girl, Ibuki is popular already in JP

 

And most of his bet are just making past archetype turned FEMALES, I don't think we'll get more Yasification @Sonero characters with the current guys. Yasification is effectivity depends on the appeal of it's character demographic and archetype demographic. Like Balrog and Guile are bad examples but CLAW would probably work but Claw had already establish a strong sexual preferences regarding females especially lot of Claw x Chun li.

 

Bison and Twelve I believe has the potential to be YASIFIED in SF6.

 

I still think they go more Martial Arts with lot of males as initial theme.

 

So it's Makoto, Sodom, Adon, Laura and etc. Then lot's of complicated supernatural like ED, Rose, Bison and etc will be dlc along with the mutants, Necro and etc

Interesting find! I'm always incredibly skeptical of FGC leaks especially how ridiculous things got in the SFV days hah. Who is this user, do they have any sort of rep or reliability?

 

I've been wanting more black characters in SF, so the ninja girl concept could be fun.

 

I dunno why we would skip out on Yun and Yang in favour of a new cousin character, but drunken fist in SF is a MUST. I don't play the twins or am bothered by them, but I want the roster to still have some significant SF3 roster additions.

 

Another psycho power user? Yeah. Sure. Let's focus on the food on our plate before ordering seconds...

 

Overall, I'm not taking this too seriously and not really excited for anyone except for the ninja girl and Mexican girl with an Aztec weapon. I may be a heretic, but I'm not going to bothered if Cammy wears pants or leggings. If the design is sleek and fits with her military superhero-ish look, then I'm fine with it.

We can now be sure that leak is 110% legit 😁

Not 100%. We know they will force Cammy to wear pants because this is the darkest timeline.

Even when Bison possessed Cammy he had the decency of respecting Street Fighter legacy and tradition.

Yeah Cammy wearing pants is probably only true part, but everybody expect that, no much leak proof

 

On Capcom side is win-win, they can get praise from weirdo hipster american reviewers that care about sjw bullshit for "finally giving Cammy a less sexualized design blahblah" AND at same time they get waifu fappers more thirsty and willing to buy with money the usual bare butt Cammy as nostalgia DLC

If this is the same Vergeben, he made a bunch of correct predictions with Smash Ultimate, then made some incorrect ones during DLC.

lmao i was just making my own wishlist SF6 bullshit, and he's there too as vanilla cast 😄👍

[YagamiFire]

King Cobra should be a Saikyo user...and because of his talent, diligence and insight has made the martial art extremely effective in the same way some total fraud martial artists with a history of lying about their accomplishments have created martial arts schools where their students have become legitimately skilled. Not only might it be interesting to see a serious take on Saikyo (while being perhaps a respectful homage/nod to Ryo & Robert from KOF) but it could create a dynamic where Dan gets to experience second hand pride in someone taking his martial art to the pinnacle of the fighting world. That could be GREAT character growth for Dan and maybe he could really blossom as a sensei as opposed to a fighter. It's like the saying "Those who can do, those who can't teach". It might be extremely fulfilling for Dan and he could still be a goof. After all, we know Dan generally has his heart in the right place even if he's a goober.

 

King Cobra could use Saikyo in a way that is mixed with some traditional forms to give it a slightly different feel as well. He could be a a great rival for someone like Luke. Luke can be the more free-wheeling character while King is more serious, disciplined and focused

[CESTUS III]

Btw for the italian woman i think (and hope) he may have made it up based on the fact one of the dropped SFV concepts was an italian red hair girl

 

Also the heavy female ratio (5F, 2M) does'nt seem fit much the recent SF tradition with new characters, both SF4 and SFV started male-majority about new faces

 

Tbh while we have no proof to call it fake (and i'm praying for that) general vibe is it seem bunch of easy to do assumptions (everybody knew capcom LOVED see "the west" go wierdo for beard Ryu, or that a redesigned Cammy in 2022 will unlikely be made bare-butt*) and mixed with concepts that more or less fit capcom's style

 

Again, hope dude is just an attention whore, helf of my hype left for SF6 would instant die lol

 

Btw now only thing is to wait summer hoping for any new info that dismiss this shit

 

 

*notice that much before fortnite crap even back to early SFV, both Laura and Juri standard design got literally black leather patches covering parts that for good or for bad in original concepts were bare skin, not big jump of imagination think that a totally redesigned Cammy (not soft redesign like SFV one) will be more covered

But KC already had already a style, he was supposed to be a kung fu student who mixed it with breakdance skills

Yeah and I think that's stupid. We already have a lot of Kung Fu reps, his outfit is not Kung Fu appropriate AND 'breakdance skills' is dumb. Why have him use breakdancing? Cuz he's black? Idiotic. We already have basketball Sean, we don't need Hip-Hopkido like the black ranger in Power Rangers season 1 (yes he used hip-hopkido).

 

EDIT:

Also, we have Dee Jay who is a black fighter who uses music/rhythm in his fighting. It's basically the same concept.

 

Give me King Cobra as a serious dude with some young Michael Jai White spirit to him.

 

 

FFS, he already looks like he could grow into King Cobra in only a few years in the above pic

 

(and yes I'm biased because MJW is one of my fav action movie guys and I think he's severely underappreciated. Hell he's even great in comedy with Black Dynamite)

 

We've got Mas Oyama (Ryu), Joe Lewis (Ken), Bruce Lee (Fei Long) and countless other homages from Billy Blanks (Dee Jay) to Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant (Alex and Hugo). A Michael Jai White influenced King Cobra would fit right into that pantheon

Not giving a judgement about it, just pointing out it that character concept already had a different style 😉

 

Personally thinking about it as we speak i'm not much into the kung-fu/breakdance idea, but tbh i'm not much into the idea of another Saikyo either tbh as Saikyo ever felt bit sub-product of Ansatsuken and i prefer variety

 

Would prefer another asian striking art, ironic you mentioned for another reason Hapkido, as was first that came to mind

Keeping korean route Tang Soo Do can work too

 

I know you mentioned "kung fu" to avoid, but close related Jet Kune Do could work for him, one of first concepts had him as Abdul Jabbar after all lol

 

If Retsu will never join, also Shorinji Kempo would be cool for him, but at that point i would like get at least one alt with traditional uniform

 

There are also other asian styles that can be fun, but there i would prefer get rep from there, like example Silat getting indonesian (female) rep

[YagamiFire]

@CESTUS III

 

Well I would see his Saikyo as something closer in concept to JKD. His Saikyo would be at least as different from Dan's as Gouken's ansatsuken was different from Ken & Ryu's

Recently revisited some of the classics. Mainly Alpha and Capcom Vs SNK.

 

Something stood out to me regarding Bison and the Shadaloo Kings during the Alpha era.

 

 

 

In total, Bison sics Rog on Birdie, Gen, Rolento, Mika, Eagle, and Blanka

 

Then on the other end:

 

 

Bison sics Juni & Juli on Rose, Chun, Cammy, Dhalsim, Yun, and Karin.

 

AAC says this about Vega:

 

Alpha 1 and 2:

Quote

 

He appears for a moment in Sagat's ending. Similar to Balrog (boxer) he seems to have been a part of Shadaloo in the early days.

 

 

 

 

Alpha 3:

Quote

 

Originally a background character for "SFZ" series he now makes his debut. His mask and claw come off when being constantly being subject to damage. He's still a narcissist like in previous titles, but his illustration is distinguished by "madness" rather than "suggested beauty". He is not a member of Shadaloo in this game, his strength is recognized by Bison who he has decided to work with temporarily.

 

 

 

 

 

So even though Vega appeared to be one of the Kings in Alpha 1 and 2, his Alpha 3 bio says otherwise. I guess it comes from Vega denying Gief's accusation that he was apart of Shadaloo. I always took that as him being  dishonest, though I suppose nothing goes against it. Seems odd that Vega would go from being a member to working with Bison temporarily not too long after.  We can definitely count Sagat out since it seems like the recruiting process is still taking place by this point. Birdie was a traitor. 

 

What's funny to me is Bison's total disregard for  Sagat. It's almost as if defeating him is meaningless, but defeating Balrog is actually a big deal in his eyes. I guess it's because in this instance, Sagat losing is enough for Bison to lose complete respect for him. That would explain why he expects Balrog to have a more favorable outcome against whoever he's facing.

 

In Capcom Vs SNK 1, Balrog is the sub-boss:

 

 

Balrog is canonically the weakest of the Shadaloo Kings, but he got a lot of shine in Alpha 3/CVS1 as Bison's #1 henchman. 

[Darc_Requiem]

I'm a fan of the Saikyo user that is actually skilled concept. I actually built two character concepts around it. Ann Hibiki (before Dan's sister actually got named) who meticulous re-constructed her father's style of Buraiken and Dandan Fan (yes real name from her country of origin) who was a huge fan of Dan's and used a "perfected' version of his Saikyo style. Man....I can tell Ann's concept is old. The lack of detail man....

 

Edit: At work, so I'll fix them when I get home. I just noticed freaking typos all over the Dandan concept. I need an editor 😑

Reasons to be in SFV:*

 

Ann is eager to test the effectiveness of Buraiken against the world's best martial artist. Her brother honored their father by “defeating” Sagat. She wishes to honor their father by showing the strength of his art to the world.

 

*Ann is Dan's opposite. She is serious and talented fighter. Her adoration of her brother Dan blinds her to his actually ability. She truly believes he defeated Sagat and that he was taking it easy on her in training. In truth she surpassed him before she left on her Musha Shugyo (Warrior's Pilgrimage).

 

Dandan

Name: Dandan Fan (Fan Dandan)

Hometown: Tainan, Taiwan

 

Appearance: Dandan is a tall woman with a slender build. Despite being 68in (1.73m) tall she has 37im (0.94m) long legs. Dandan has long black hair that is pulled back into a pony tail with loose bangs in the front. She has brown eyes. Dandan wears a short sleeve orange collared shirt with a black vest over top of it. She wears black leather gloves on her hands. Dandan wears a white skirt with black leather belt with a square silver colored buckle on her waist. She wears black stockings on her legs and has white leather dress shoes on her feet.

 

Occupation: Model/Martial Arts Instructor

Likes: Dan, Exotic Cars, Training, Driving Fast, Annoying Her Father

Dislikes: Traffic, Modeling (She only does it because her father hates it)

 

Fighting Style: Kan Saikyo no Kata (Perfect Strongest Style Form)

 

Tone: Dandan is an exuberant young woman. She loves to fight, but not to hurt people, for the sport.

 

Origins: Dandan is the daughter of Delun Fan the founder of tech giant VMT (Virtual Micro Technologies). Her father Delun and mother Daiyu tried to push Dandan towards traditional girls hobbies and interest. However, much to their chagrin, Dandan was quite the tomboy. She became of obsessed with martial arts films. Dandan constantly pestered her parents to let her learn martial arts. They were staunchly opposed.

     Delun and his wife saw an ad for Dan Hibiki's Saikyo Style dojo. He seemed to be fraud in their eyes. That's when they got the idea of letting Dandan train with him. With a less than stellar instructor, she'd certainly lose interest in martial arts. Their plan backfired. Dan's goofy and jovial natural kept her interest. As she studied under Dan she quickly began to realize the flaws in his techniques. The concepts behind them where sound but their execution were left a lot to be desired.

Dandan did not want to hurt her masters feelings. She wanted to help him. Dandan worked tirelessly to perfect her teaches incomplete techniques. In her time away from the Saikyo school she researched similar arts to her masters to figure where his techniques came up short. She then applied what she learned to the Saikyo style. As she continued to improve Dan was elated. His student was showing the power of Saikyo!

     As she grew older, he parents continued to try and pull her away from her favorite hobbies. Martial arts, racing, and sports made her happy. Training so vigorously in Saikyo made Dandan incredibly fit. Her long legs drew the attention of several modeling agencies. She continued to turn them down flat. When she saw how pleased this made her father, she started modeling just to spite him. While does not like it, modeling allowed her to make quite a bit of money. She had plenty of free time to train and no longer had to kowtow to her parents to get money. Dandan would use her income to fix up the Saikyo Dojo. Dan was surprisingly adept at business. She slowly pushed him away from teaching. Dandan would took over as lead instructor. Dan's personality was a perfect match for their ad campaign and Dandan's physical appearance drew in students too. Dandan would spend the next decade teaching and refining the techniques of Saikyo. She was finally confident enough to test Saikyo in a true fighting competition.
