 It's
been a while since the last Street Fighter V concert art update,
but Capcom has resumed their trip through memory lane. The latest batch of
SFV concept artwork (with official CFN Portal bios) feature some
obscure, lesser-known bad guys from Final Fight 2. Your guess is as
good as mine why Capcom is reaching so far back into their character
backlog for SFV considerations of sorts, but it's certainly
thought-provoking for veteran Capcom fans.

Bio: The leader of a world-traveling circus. He's an
entertainer, who shows his customers a good time with
juggling and taming of wild beasts. However, his real work
is to lead a criminal organization who smuggle weapons,
drugs and other illegal things across borders. He rarely

Name:
Retu
Origin: Final Fight 2
Official CFN Portal bio coming soon! |
|
As a bonus, here's the
official CFN Portal bio for the previously
released Mech Zangief concept artwork. (*Ahem* .... "P Mecha Zangi
F"... that is.) 
|
Name:
P Mecha Zangi F
Height: 214,1cm
Weight: 1810kg
Blood type: Vodka
Construction date: 1st of June
Place of origin: Shadaloo-made
Likes: Spinning
Dislikes: Anyway, it's fireballs
Intro: P
stands for Prototype. He's a Shadaloo prototype robot made
by combining a Monitor Cyborg with anti-Zangief technology.
With his metal body, he's learned a whole bunch of different
grappling moves.
Bio: His shining grey body is made out of L Ceramic
Titanium and repels any kinds of attack... was the plan,
anyway. The vodka running through his body to fuel him is
used to unleash his special move, the extremely high
temperature blue flame, Vodka Fire. Because of outdated
information, he does not have any emitter on his hands for
Banishing Energy.
The later version of the Mecha Zangi F had many more
features added. At the moment, the development which is
being overseen by Master F.A.N.G is on the Mecha Zangi F
Mark 3! (All of this takes place in an alternate universe). |
