Abel

Debut: Street Fighter IV
Origin: France
Fighting Style: Mixed Martial Arts
Official Tag Partner: Guile
Voice Actor: Kenji Takahashi / Jason Liebrecht

An amnesiac who wishes to learn more about his past by investigating the shadowy criminal organization Shadaloo. Believes he has a strong connection to both Guile's deceased friend Charlie and Seth, the leader of the Shadaloo Intimidation Network (S.I.N.).

Akuma

Debut: Super Street Fighter II Turbo
Orign: Japan
Fighting Style: True Ansatsuken
Voice Actor: Taketora / Dave Mallow

Akuma (known in Japan as "Gouki") is the ultimate example of what it means to be a warrior in every way imaginable. The brother of Ryu and Ken's master, Akuma practices the same fighting style but with the lethality fully intact. As a fighter, his code demands that he meet all opponents in battle with the intent to kill, as they should have when approaching him. He surrenders his mind and body to the "Satsui no Hado", a chaotic force that dwells within all great warriors. It can grant inhuman ability in battle but also causes the user to forsake their humanity in order to be victorious.

He is "summoned" by Pandora to the South Pole, and looks forward to a promising age of chaos. As a bonus, he seeks to lure Ryu to Antarctica as well, in order to draw out the Satsui no Hado within him.

  • Blood Knight: Akuma won't even acknowledge you unless you're looking for a fight (and even then, he won't fight you if you're weak). Given that Pandora's power is released when it is exposed to beings in conflict, Akuma probably revels in it.
  • Death From Above: The Misogi is back, and ready to cause pain.
  • Final Boss: For Tekken fighters.
  • Worthy Opponent: Played Straight and Subverted. Ogre considers him to be the only decent opponent on Earth. Akuma on the other hand has nothing but contempt for the God of Fight.

You are a pathetic whelp!

Balrog

Debut: Street Fighter II
Origin: United States
Fighting Style: Dirty Boxing
Official Tag Partner: Vega
Voice Actor: Satoshi Tsuruoka / Bob Carter

A corrupt boxer who was cast out of the sport for his unbridled rage in the ring. Balrog (known as "M. Bison" in Japan) turned to Shadaloo for the pay, acting as M. Bison's hired muscle and enforcer. He's forced to go to Antartica with Vega in order to secure Pandora for Bison.

However, after Bison's Psycho Drive is shut down, she loses her memory and finds herself in England, using her latent combat abilities to aid the special operations group "Delta Red". She can only vaguely recall her activities with Shadaloo, but strives to stop their illegal activities as penance for anything she might have done under them.

While she has received plenty of intel on Pandora, Cammy is unable to do anything about it within Delta Red. It's not until Chun-Li invites her that Cammy is in a position to investigate the box.


Chun-Li

Debut: Street Fighter II
Origin: China
Fighting Style: Chinese Kempo
Official Tag Partner: Cammy

Keeping tabs on Shadoloo, as always, Chun-Li heard about the organization's war with the Mishima Zaibatsu over Pandora and seeks to kill two birds with one stone by securing the box before they do. She calls Cammy for help.

When Rolento enlists the aid of her village, Ibuki has no choice but to assist.

"You're kinda my type, but I don't go for guys who are weaker than me."

  • Does Not Like Shoes
  • Field Promotion: Rolento calls Ibuki "Private" in their prologue, "Corporal" in their rival scene, and "Sergeant" in their ending! Too bad she is not the least bit interested in being in his chain of command.

Juri has a shrouded agenda, both allying yet working against S.I.N. from the inside out. She revels in violence and finds an orgasmic pleasure from the suffering of her foes. Her family's car was attacked by Shadaloo in retaliation for her father's activities against Shadaloo. Her parents died and she was pulled from the wreckage, transformed into the human weapon she is today by S.I.N.. She offers her service as "gratitude" for the Feng Shui Engine.

Ken is aware of what Ryu plans to do regarding Pandora and is worried about his friend. So, he decides to tag along for support.

M. Bison

Debut: Street Fighter II
Origin: Shadaloo

Under his command are soldiers who are willing to do his bidding, either by choice or by brainwashing. He has made numerous enemies over the years, most prominently Guile and Chun-Li. His ultimate goal is overthrow the world's governments, installing himself as the supreme leader of all nations. He was the host of the second World Warrior tournament.

    • Hell, in her special team intro with Hugo, the camera begins with a focus ON her 'assets', followed by her making a kissing motion with her lips.
  • Attractive Bent Gender: Actually lampshaded by Kuma, of all things.

Kuma: Hmm... you smell like a man, but... Hm, you humans really are complex.

"I don't have the time to turn boys into men. Go home and have some of mommy's milk."

Despite actually winning the U.S. Martial Arts Tournament, Rufus' victory is completely overshadowed by Pandora. So, when Zangief invites him on a journey to Antarctica to get rid of the box, Rufus gladly accepts.


Ryu

Debut: Street Fighter

Origin: Japan

Fighting Style: Ansatsuken

Official Tag Partner: Ken

Voice Actor: Hiroki Takahashi / Kyle Hebert

This Japanese martial artist has mastered the the fighting style Ansatsuken, a medley of various Eastern fighting styles originally designed to kill.

Despite his rather anti-sociable behavior, Ryu is very caring and possesses a strong sense of justice, leading him to use his skills to defeat evil-doers alongside his friends.

After being told of the box by Chun-Li, Ryu wonders if the malevolent effects it has over people are related to the Satsui no Hado that he tries so hard to reject. Out of concern for his best friend, Ken joins him on his journey to find Pandora.


Sagat

Debut: Street Fighter

Origin: Thailand

Fighting Style: Muay Thai

Official Tag Partner: Dhalsim

Voice Actor: Daisuke Endo / Isaac C. Singleton Jr.

The self-proclaimed "King of Muay Thai", Sagat is a fearsome opponent in the ring. He was the host of the first World Warrior tournament, seeking to prove his prominence as the greatest fighter in the world. However, he was bested and scarred by a warrior from Japan named "Ryu". He became consumed with the idea of getting revenge for his fall from grace, even going so far as to ally with Shadaloo for a time in order to get his rematch. However, when he saw that he had strayed too far from the path of honor, he left and decided to fight Ryu on honorable terms as warriors should.

Discovering that a little girl he rescued has been taken, Sagat is enraged and eager to fidn the culprits responsible. Dhalsim informs him that the box known as Pandora is involved, and so the two head for Antarctica.

Official Tag Partner: Balrog
Voice Actor: Junichi Suwabe / Doug Erholtz

Vega (known in Japan as "Balrog") is the twisted son of Spanish nobility. When his ugly nobleman father beat his beautiful mother to death, Vega lashed out and murdered his father, warping his mind into believing that no man could ever be as beautiful as himself. He lives as a serial killer, preying on anyone who he deems as 'ugly'. He is fiendishly protective of his face, wearing a mask into battle to ensure it is never scarred. His ruthlessness and love of carnage makes him a valuable asset to M. Bison and Shadaloo. He prefers to do battle with his signature three-bladed claw.

Although the notion of working so closely with a brute like Balrog is unideal (to put it mildly), Vega travels with him to Antarctica, under orders from Bison to secure Pandora.

Official Tag Partner: Rufus

In addition, he can charge an electrical current through his body and focus it at his enemies, which supposedly comes from contact with electric eels. His mother, Samantha, is still alive and he is also good friends with Dan Hibiki.
