Here we are fighters! After making profiles for the new characters, who will soon be joined be the newcomer A.K.I., it's time to take care of the old guard too. Unfortunately the game didn't give them much, at least in terms of feats and P&A, but there's stuff to cover nonetheless. I'm not going to name the new techniques I'm adding to the profiles, unless they are related to some skill or whatever, as it would just be pointless and time-consuming, but know that I'll do that too. Same goes for very minor stuff, like a character mentioning to having had fought another one unless this effects their ratings, or the cast being a teacher, or generally very minor stuff that works as flavor or minor support (like Cammy talking about being a spy). Please trust me I'm not going to slip anything hefty under the radar.
Now, without further ado, let's get into the ring!
Everyone
Ap Upgrade: See here
Ryu
As we will see with many others, Ryu gets mostly flavor and details about his life, which in terms of brainless vs debating translates to intelligence material. All this stuff will also be included in his last key, which will become SFV-VI, as no relevant change warrants a fourth key.
Ken
Chun-Li
Guile
Zangief
Dhalsim
Honda
Cammy
Dee Jay
Really nothing special for him, I'm sorry
Juri
Rashid
Luke
Nothing in particular, he now works as a contractor and has done some jobs, experiences and stuff, such as losing to Ryu and Ken in the arcade and comics.
Varies
And here we are, pretty underwhelming honestly, but we take what we get. I don't expect to having gotten 100% of things, given how wide world tour is and because I don't have the game yet, but I'm confident in having most of the things covered. See you when AKI comes out!
Now, without further ado, let's get into the ring!
Everyone
Ap Upgrade: See here
- Empowerment: Like all new characters I've made profiles for, they are able to make their Critical Art into a stronger and different move if they are at low healt
Ryu
As we will see with many others, Ryu gets mostly flavor and details about his life, which in terms of brainless vs debating translates to intelligence material. All this stuff will also be included in his last key, which will become SFV-VI, as no relevant change warrants a fourth key.
- Can shoot a dragon of ki from his fist while doing a Shoryuken (
not with his critical art rotfl Capcom wtf were you thinking), so I'll mention it somewhere, I guess. - Above Average not-combat related intelligence:
- He is good at cooking, is deeply interested in the various cultural and historical aspects of the countries he visits, has become rich through various jobs and gigs, has some knowledge of at least a dozen languages and can converse in some of them.
- Further ESP for being able to sense spirits
Ken
- Nothing too relevant honestly, he beats the shit out of the Nayshall champion and Luke in the comics, as well as being faster than a recording drone, but it's probably a flaw of the drone, rather than any worthwile speed feat. Not only he got his life ruined, he also doesn't get any updated, sad.
Chun-Li
- Enhanced Senses: For noticing that Juri was stalking her, with specific reference to it being due to her senses.
- Support for Weapon Mastery and the notion that even in the old times, when she carried a gun, she never fired anything other than warning shots. I'll add this as a description to her optional equipment, since it comes from Alpha times.
Guile
- Heat Manipulation: His Flash Kick sliced a drone in half and left it burning hot and steaming.
Zangief
- More intelligence stuff, mostly the fact he reads 300 books per year and has graduated a famous university.
- Stamina addition, not sure if it grants superhuman, but to him a 1k squats and a 100 km marathon are a good excercise to build stamina.
- Weapon Mastery and Explosion: Via Blanka-chan Bomb
- Adaptation: Learned to project electricity after having been electrocuted by an eel and became green after absorbing a mix of herbs and flowers. I'd toss in there the fact that his body, teeth and claws adapted to the wild life.
- Likely Minor Fragrance/Poison: The mush of plants he's absorbed was meant as a protection from bugs. It doesn't specify how, but I believe there is ground to believe it is due to the smell or unpleasant properties.
- Resistance to Electricity: Still from above, even before getting his powers, he survived a shock that would have KO'd a horse and even powered through it to kill the eel.
- Extrasensory Perception and Telepathy: Can hear the voices of the spirits of nature. Lily also states that the forest spirits are with him and that he might be able to hear the voice of her wind spirit.
Dhalsim
- LS Feat, he halts an elephant stomp with two fingers, support if any.
- A million references to him being a spiritual guide to many, and 95% of his dialogues are a bucket of wisdom. He's also a good cook. All support for intelligence.
- Likely Blessed: He also says a a few times that prayers to Agni are the source of his power, and given the verse, it might very well be true.
- Range upgrade to Teleportation and ESP to thousands of km, since he sensed Lily's power from India to Mexico and teleported to her location.
Honda
- Limited Fire: Can generate an actual ring of fire through friction alone
- Air: Can shoot air waves from his palms (
not in gameplay F) - ESP: Could sense Lily's strength
Cammy
- Support for Vehicular Mastery (horseriding)
- Support for ESP: Sensed JP's Psycho Power
- Throwing Knives as optional equipment: She already has Weapon Mastery for his skill, and she states it again in the link above. She's never used them on-screen, but I think she should have them anyway, given the number of times this skill is mentioned.
Dee Jay
Really nothing special for him, I'm sorry
Juri
- Hacking: The Feng Shui Engine can be used for intrusion and hacking
- Same link as above, she states she could take over Metro City if only she wanted, intelligence feat. Even more, she controls half the criminal underworld of Metro City, became rich by scamming companies together with C. Viper and manipulated the ICPO to force Chun-Li into retirement.
Rashid
- More details on his wind manip, specially this super cool scene
- Free Movement for being able to step on air currents
- Some skill feats such as doing this thing, was very talented already during childhood and his style is completely self-taught
Luke
Nothing in particular, he now works as a contractor and has done some jobs, experiences and stuff, such as losing to Ryu and Ken in the arcade and comics.
Varies
- Gill: Intelligence feat for having conquered Rashid's ancestor's kingdom centuries ago, also support for his longevity
- Bison: Memory Manipulation for having shown Rose memories of things he's done, likely while inhabiting her body (although the animation doesn't show it, it checks out with the timeline,
and SF2 isn't canon). This really is just a leftover from the previous crt, honestly.
And here we are, pretty underwhelming honestly, but we take what we get. I don't expect to having gotten 100% of things, given how wide world tour is and because I don't have the game yet, but I'm confident in having most of the things covered. See you when AKI comes out!
