List, description. Street Fighter game: characters

In the first game, together with his friend Ken, he is a participant in the tournament. In the following games in the series, Ryu shows his desire to train. However, his skills attract criminals who want to use them to their advantage.

Ken Masters

Main article: Ken Masters

Ken Masters (Japanese: ケン・マスターズ Ken Masutazu, English Ken Masters, V original game - 拳 ) debuted in the first part as an additional fighter for the second player, initially differing from Ryu only aesthetically, but later developed into an independent fighter with his own combat mechanics. Like Ryu, he appears in all parts of the series, as well as in most Capcom crossovers. Ken is Ryu's best friend, but at the same time his rival (mostly out of friendship) and, like Ryu, travels around the world in search of worthy opponents.

Retsu

Retsu (Japanese: 烈 Retsu) - teacher of Shorinji Kempo. In the first game, he is the first opponent to be defeated (although the player can choose where to start from at the beginning of the game). Although he did not appear in other games, he was depicted in many art books and related products in the game's universe.

Geki

Geki (Japanese: 激 Geki) - a ninja who fights with shuriken and a glove with claws. He is the second enemy in the game, and his battle takes place in a clearing overlooking Mount Fuji. In other parts he appears only as a cameo character in gaming videos and manuals.

Birdie

Birdie was ranked 15th out of 85 characters Street Fighter. In 2009, he was also included in "The 10 Latest Street Fighter Characters Ever Conceived".

Eagle

According to the plot of the games in the Alpha subseries, Yuan, being terminally ill, chose as his goal to fight Akuma before his death, for which he went in search of him. On his way, he encounters Chunli (whose father learned the basics of combat from Yuan) as a secret opponent in Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Ryu as the mid-boss Street Fighter Alpha 3, making sure that the latter uses the same style as Akuma. Yuan also appeared in the console and computer versions Street Fighter IV as an added character. Yuan's connection to Chunli's father and his conflicted feelings towards her play a role in his backstory for the game. In the 2009 film, Yuan was played by Robin Shu (Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat).

Adon

Although Blanca makes mostly meaningless wild screams in battle, Blanca still speaks some words in her victory phrases. IN Street Fighter IV and in his updates, Blanca speaks regularly - in victory phrases, cutscenes and taunts.

Gameplay

In battle, Blanca uses her own fighting style, mostly based on the instincts of wild animals. Gameplay Blanca belongs to the group of so-called "charge" fighters. Blanka's most famous special moves are twisting into a “ball” and then attacking his opponent ( Rolling Attack) and the ability to generate electricity on the spot, hitting an unsuccessfully landing opponent with it. Some games also have various options Rolling Attack, differing in flight direction.

Character history

Street Fighter II

Specifically in Street Fighter II the reasons why Blanca went to the tournament are not stated. According to his ending, he is reunited with his mother, Samantha, who recognized him from the bracelet Blanca wore on his ankle. She told him that when he was little, his name was Jimmy until the moment when the plane on which Jimmy was flying crashed in the jungle, after which only Jimmy remained alive, gradually going wild due to external conditions, although he was tied up with a local village located near the crash site. From then on, Jimmy, later Blanca, was cut off from his family.

According to some sources, the cause of the accident could have been lightning striking the plane, as a result of which, apparently, a mutation occurred, due to which Blanca received the ability to perceive chlorophyll from plants (which most likely explains the color of Blanca's skin) and the ability to generate electricity.

Street Fighter Alpha 3

IN Street Fighter Alpha 3 his storyline, like many other characters, is a prequel to Street Fighter II. It tells the story of how Blanca encountered civilization for the first time in his life when he decided to climb into a food truck in search of food. While playing through the game, Blanca meets Dan Hibiki as one of the mid-bosses. After the fight, during the dialogue between the characters, both learn that they each know each other, with Dan telling Blanca that he once saved his life.

Next, Blanca meets Zangief on her way as the second intermediate boss, unwittingly refusing his help in the fight against Shadaloo. Afterwards, Blanca meets the head of the crime syndicate Bison along with his henchman Balrog. Having defeated first the Balrog and then Bison himself, he, along with Dan and Sakura who joined them, destroy the complex with the psychic weapon Shadaloo.

Fei Long

Fei Long(pinyin Fēi Long; Japanese 飛龍（フェイロン） Faron ) debuted in Super Street Fighter II as one of four new characters. In the debut, Fei Long is portrayed as an action star from Hong Kong who goes to a tournament to improve his fighting skill. In his ending in the game, after defeating Bison, he ends his film career and develops his own style of kung fu called"Soaring Skies Style" (English) Soaring Heaven style ; Japanese).

飛天流 Hitenryu: Fei Long was conceived as a pastiche for the famous Hong Kong film actor and martial artist Bruce Lee. English localization of the arcade version SSFII pays tribute to Bruce Lee in the following words: “There could not be another legend like the great one and his son” (a reference to Bruce Lee and his son Brandon, who died shortly before the game's release, although it was removed in English version

SSFII Turbo Revival Street Fighter Alpha 3 for Game Boy Advance). Later, Fei Long returned in console versions. Action

Every gamer knows the Street Fighter series, which began as an arcade platformer, but gradually grew into one of the largest and most famous fighting games in the whole world. Six games in this series have already been released - and you shouldn’t be surprised that the last of them is numbered “five” - the thing is that after the second part the game Street Fighter Alpha was released - that’s why the sixth game appeared under the fifth number, like the fourth under the third, and so on. In the Street Fighter game, characters appeared gradually - in each new part a certain number of “newcomers” were introduced, and not all of them took root and remained in the series for a long time. Therefore, in this article you will learn about those heroes who remained part of this large-scale project for as long as possible, thanks to which they gained enormous popularity among fans. The only thing you need to remember is the features of the first game, because it was a platformer. Accordingly, all the characters who appeared there, except for the main two characters, were non-player - they were your opponents at one stage or another of the passage. Only in further parts of the Street Fighter series did the characters become playable, which greatly attracted gamers who liked this or that hero in the first part, but simply could not play for him.

Ryu

If you start a story about the heroes of this series of games, then you should definitely do it with Ryu. Street Fighter is a series in which Ryu is the main character, he was the protagonist of the first part, and you had to go through that platformer as him. Later, when the game was transformed into a fighting game, he still remained one of the most important and attractive characters. Throughout the series, Ryu is positioned as a humble and serious young man who has honor and dignity. He travels all over the world, gradually improving his martial arts skills. In general, the image of Ryu is positive, but it also has a downside. Actually main character is obsessed with various martial arts, and when he gets too carried away, a dark force awakens in him, which forms part of his soul. The character has to constantly fight with her, but if Ryu loses, then the light can see the real monster. Luckily, he has trusted friends he can rely on if his dark side begins to overwhelm him. Without Ryu, Street Fighter would be a completely different series, so it's impossible to underestimate the flavor it gives it main character. However, naturally, he is not the only one who exists in this universe - there are other equally interesting heroes.

Ken

In later games in the Street Fighter series, characters were created unique, that is, they had their own appearance, their own fighting characteristics, and their own super moves. However, at the very beginning, when the game was still a platformer, the second playable character who joined Ryu in the event that a second participant sat down for the game was Ken. And it wasn't completely new and unique character, but simply Ryu, whose figurine was painted in a different color. They had the same fighting style, absolutely identical techniques, which differed from each other only in one throw. But over time, the game developed and became increasingly popular, so Ken separated from Ryu and became an independent character. His fighting style still remained similar to the one demonstrated by Ryu, but he acquired his own techniques, combinations, and so on. And most importantly, he has his own personality. Unlike the calm and serious Ryu, Ken Masters is a hot-tempered and flamboyant person who is never and always ready to fight any opponent. Ken is unpredictable and can even be selfish at times, but overall he has a big heart and genuinely cares about all of his friends, and he is willing to give everything he has to protect them from any adversity.

First woman

This heroine has become iconic not only for this series, but for gaming industry generally. Before her in all computer games, including in the first part of Street Fighter, the characters were always male. You could only play as a man, you fought mostly only with men, all dialogue took place only between men. Women in most cases were the object of salvation, girlfriends of important male heroes, the occasional weakest opponent on the battlefield, and also simply part of the background. But in the second part of this series, a heroine appeared who changed everything. Chun-Li joins Ryu and Ken along with a few more new characters to add some variety. game process. She was inferior in strength to all the male heroes, but at the same time she was the fastest. Her story in the game universe is as follows: Chun-Li is an Interpol agent, and she is investigating the death of her father. She finds the killer - he is the head of a certain criminal syndicate. She even manages to get to him, but he, being a martial arts master, easily overpowers the girl and tells her that if she ever gets close to him again, he will kill her just like her father. As a result, Chun-li begins to work on himself and improve his fighting skills in order to ultimately be able to defeat his main opponent. It is worth noting that this heroine appears in all subsequent games in the series, that is, only Ryu and Ken participated in the events more than her, who appear in all six episodes.

Akuma

Akuma is a very interesting character in the Street Fighter series, who appeared in the second part of the series as a secret playable character, as well as one of the main bosses. He later appeared in all parts of the series except the last. Who is this hero? He and his brother Gouken studied under one of the greatest masters of all time, Gotetsu. It was he who taught them incredible fighting techniques, and he also taught them the need to fight their dark side of the soul. Gouken learned his lesson, but Akuma did not. He was influenced dark forces to gain even greater power, and in this state he killed his teacher. From that moment on, the brothers' paths diverged. Gouken began teaching everything he had learned from Gotetsu to two little boys, Ryu and Ken. After some time, Akuma showed up to Gouken and challenged him to a duel, in which he was defeated. He asked his brother to kill him, but Gouken spared Akuma. A certain amount of time passed, and Akuma again appeared at Goken and this time defeated him, killing him with a special technique. But Gouken also mastered a special technique and disconnected his soul from his body, so that only the vessel died in battle. Some time later, Gouken regained his body and returned to the world to watch over his students Ryu and Ken, as well as to meet Akuma again, who continued his travels around the world, fighting various fighters and not above killing them. In the Street Fighter series, this is one of the most powerful and most evil heroes.

Balrog

The next character who appeared for the first time in the game Street Fighter II and was encountered in a total of four games out of six (with the exception of the first and third parts) is the American fighter Balrog. For a long time he was a professional boxer, but he fought according to his own rules, which is why he injured more than one professional athlete. When he purposefully killed another fighter with his blows, he was banned from taking part in professional sports. Therefore, he moved into a darker sphere, going to serve in a syndicate, where he was offered good money, and the Balrog always had a weakness for it. He accepted orders to destroy opponents until the head of the syndicate was killed by the Akuma described above. Balrog went to work at a nightclub as a bouncer until the leader of the syndicate was resurrected in another body - then Balrog was returned to the syndicate, where he was tasked with monitoring the clones in the laboratory. He tried to earn extra money by obtaining a special device hidden in the syndicate's lair, but it was destroyed, so Balrog did not receive the money. This character is distinguished by his cruelty and mercilessness, as well as his main sin - the love of money, regardless of whether it is clean, dirty or bloody.

Cammy

Another character that appeared in Street Fighter II is Cammy. She has become the second most popular character in the series after Chun-Li, and has a rich and fascinating history of her own. It all starts with Cammy, as a soulless syndicate doll, attacking Dhalsim with the goal of killing him. However, Dhalsim has a special technique that allows him to clear Cammy's mind and free her from the influence of the syndicate. The Syndicate sends Vega after her, who deliberately loses to her and tells her the story of how she was created to be a puppet in the hands of the Syndicate. As a result, Cammy is confronted by the leader of the syndicate, Bison, who informs her that more dolls have been created based on her, deprived of consciousness. Cammy decides to save them, and she manages to win the fight with Bison, but in the end she loses consciousness, and with it her memory. Vega takes her to the doorstep of the British Secret Service, where she is recruited due to the fact that she retains all the fighting skills she acquired in the syndicate. When Cammy finds out what's going on big tournament, she feels that something connects her with the organizer of the tournament, Bison. When she gets there, she learns that she was created as a new vessel for Bison, sent undercover by the British Secret Service, but memory loss ruined the syndicate's plans. In the UK, Cammie was told that they were not looking at her past and were offering her a fresh start.

Dhalsim

Dhalsim is one of the most peaceful and friendly characters in the entire fighting game series. He is a pacifist and believes that force should not be used unnecessarily, but at the same time he participates in battles to earn money. He does this not for selfish reasons, but to save his village, which is in poverty without food, water and medicine. After some time, he finds a new goal - to defeat Bison, the head of a syndicate that brings too much evil to this world. Dhalsim's two most important actions in the Street Fighter universe are destroying Bison's body and returning Cammy's consciousness. Later, Dhalsim once again helps his village, which is left without water due to a dam. He admits that the syndicate cannot be defeated because it represents infinite evil, but at the same time notes that the good in the hearts of people is also infinite.

Bison

A lot has already been said about this hero, and you should have already understood that he is the head of the crime syndicate and the main villain in the “Street Fighter” universe. He has psychic power that allows him not only to improve his fighting skills, but also to control the minds of other people, turning them against their own friends. Bison's body was destroyed several times, but it was always recreated by dedicated scientists - but each subsequent body was slightly weaker than the previous one.

Guile

Another character worthy of attention is Guile. Street Fighter would lose almost nothing in terms of history if it weren't for of this hero, because he plays a minimal role in the development of general events - only once he helps Chun-Li at the syndicate base, when he is looking for his military comrade there. However, it is Guile who is one of the most frequently chosen characters during battle, second only to Ryu and Ken.

Sagat

One of the most interesting characters in this list is Sagat. Street Fighter II is not the same game in which he first appeared, unlike all the fighters described above (except Ryu and Ken, of course). He first appeared in the first part of the game, where he was one of the bosses, but then began to constantly appear in the games of the series as a playable character. Sagat is a Muay Thai master who became the absolute champion in this form of martial arts when he was still a teenager. He then defended his title by killing his opponent but losing his eye. In the first world tournament, he wanted to prove that he was the strongest not only in Thailand, but throughout the world. When he met Ryu, he practically defeated him, which is why Ryu released dark energy, which he used against Sagat, leaving a huge scar on his body. Sagat set out to take revenge on Ryu, which is why he ended up in the syndicate to serve Bison. But there he gradually began to realize that anger should not guide a thief fighter during a duel - because of this, he succumbed in battle with the son of the very fighter whom he killed, losing an eye. Sagat is one of the most transformed fighters over the course of the series.

Vega

One of Bison's closest assistants in the syndicate is Vega. Street Fighter wouldn't be the same game without this hero. He is a nobleman and a bullfighter, but at night he takes to the streets to mercilessly kill and maim people, wearing a mask. As a result, he himself comes to the syndicate to work there, gradually becoming one of the leaders. He was in charge of Cammy's cloning project and sent her to the British Secret Service. The fastest fighter in the series is Vega. Street Fighter is a series of fighting games where it is very important to find the right balance and approach to each character.

Zangief

One of the most striking heroes representing Russia in the series is Zangief. Street Fighter has fighters from different countries, and Zangief is present there on the personal instructions of Gorbachev, who sent the fighter to the tournament to fight the Bison syndicate, because it began to gradually spread its influence over the USSR, which the Union government did not want. Naturally, there are many more characters in the game, such as Edmond Honda, but they appeared in fewer episodes, so they were not included in this article.

The character has also been featured in various official comics and merchandise. His music theme, known simply as "Guile's Theme", has been used multiple times, usually to give a sense of victory.

Guile has been perceived as a unique Street Fighter II characters in both appearance and gameplay. He is noted as having only two signature moves in the game, both of which are performed by first holding a direction on the joystick ("charging") - the Sonic Boom and somersault (or "Flash Kick"). Guile has been well received, with the character often placing highly in various lists of the best Street Fighter characters of all time.

Guile is assigned to work together with Chun-Li in order to take down Bison , whose organization Shadaloo (Shadowlaw in the English dub) has been kidnapping several martial artists and brainwashing them to do his evil bidding. Guile is at first far from happy to work with another person on the case, claiming loudly that "Bison"s ass is mine", but a distinct friendship builds up between him and the Interpol agent. The film follows Guile's plot from the video game in Guile tracking down Bison to avenge Charlie "s death, and his vendetta is amplified when Chun-Li is severely beaten by Vega on Bison"s orders. Near the end of the film, Guile manages to track Ryu down but is followed by Bison and a brainwashed Ken. Guile engages Bison in combat but is outmatched by the crime lord"s overwhelming speed and only manages to damage his cape with a Sonic Boom. Bison then finishes the fight by blasting Guile down a chasm. Guile survives this, although exhausted and bloodied, and when Bison finds Guile, he decides to spare him as an insult, and leaves. Guile is rescued along with Balrog by E. Honda . In his final scene, Guile, fully recovered, is moved to tears when informed that Chun-Li survived Vega. "s attack.

Based loosely on the storyline of the 1994 film while combining elements from Street Fighter II, Guile serves as the main protagonist of the Street Fighter animated series, and is depicted as the leader of an organization of Street Fighters consisting of himself, Chun-Li, Blanka, Ryu, Ken, T. Hawk, Cammy, Dee Jay, Fei Long and Dhalsim. Bison has survived his battle with Guile following the events of the film, and Guile's sole goal is to destroy Bison once and for all.

Reception

Video game publications have commented on Guile, giving mostly positive opinions. 8-Bit Theater author Brian Clevinger once described Guile as "the epitome of everything discussed in The Art of War". IGN ranked him at number two in their "Top 25 Street Fighter Characters" article, stating "there"s nothing too fancy about him. He"s just your basic, no-nonsense, all-American tough guy." Guile has also ranked tenth in ScrewAttack "s "Top Ten Coolest Characters". GameDaily listed him at number ten on their "Top 20 Street Fighter Characters of All Time" article, voicing disapproval for Jean-Claude Van Damme "s portrayal of him in the live action film. IGN gave similar comments labeling such portrayal as "What Went Wrong" in an article about gaming heroes. GameDaily additionally named him one of their favorite Capcom characters of all time, praising his hairstyle as one of the weirdest in gaming by stating "It"s not big, puffy and round, but big, puffy and MIGHTY." In the February 1992 issue of Gamest magazine in Japan, Guile ranked at No. 4 in the list of Best Characters of 1991.

The theme tune for Guile, specifically the version from the CP System II release of Super Street Fighter II , is the subject of a mashup internet phenomenon named "Guile"s Theme Goes With Everything", starting in April 2010, [ ] in which the music is perceived to synchronize with clips from films and other media, regardless of their content. This quickly grew to some 5500 videos and counting.
