Capoeira in 2D form never looked this spectacular. The 2D artists at Capcom were simply showing off while animating Elena. Elena made a superb addition to the "new generation" of Street Fighters in SFIII. While not the most elaborate or immediately eye-catching character design to come out of the Street Fighter universe, Elena's unique fighting style and appearance was incredibly innovative in the 2D fighting game realm when she debuted. Elena is defined by her cheerful, funny personality and lean, toned physique. She's also an innovative Street Fighter character due to the fact that her "punch" attacks are actually kicks, instead. I remember being wowed by that the first time I played SFIII. I've always loved Street Fighter characters that represent an authentic martial art, and Elena does just that, with style. It was nice to see Elena appear in SF X TEKKEN... but her animation did not translate to 3D as smoothly as I would've hoped. Her translation over to the 3D "SF4 engine" doesn't hold a candle to her original SF3 sprite, in my opinion.
