So I recently found this video. I though it was interesting.

I always found it interesting how Japanese fighting games tend to add the characters blood type. I wonder if it has more meaning there, it seems fairly insignificant from a Western perspective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type...ity_theory

It does in fact have a basis in culture.

That's fascinating, thanks !

I turned in a trivia about that, I think, under the Street Fighter series (the first game i saw a blood type in was in SF2) and noted that if it could be placed elsewhere, or if a more appropriate category was created, it should be moved there.

I did on May 26. Here's the thread I stated for it: http://www.vgfacts.com/forums/thread-347...l#pid61466

Who says that you can't learn while having fun?

SNK still interested in making Garou 2 and new Samurai Shodown; currently considering adding DLC characters to King of Fighters 14

Today SF profiles are Blair, Pullum, Darn & D. Dark from the Street Fighter EX series. The translation was provided by the people of SRK forums (?, i assume this because i found those translation on the SRK main page). Unlike previous profiles, the Shadaloo Activity Report’s Private Nakagawa will be joined in the descriptions by a senior member of Shadaloo: NIN! [This is the alter-ego of Akira Nishitani, providing personal comments and stories on each of his creations.]

[spoiler=Darun Mister]
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130853.html

Private Nakagawa: A champion of Indraut! He’s the bodyguard of the rich girl Pullum. He’s the friend to whom Zangief entrusted his C.H.A.I.N.S. chess piece.

Basic Info:

Name: Darun Mister
Height: 209cm
Weight: 168kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: November 19th
Home Country: India
Likes: Fighting against strong unknown opponents, Indra Bashi [“Indra Bridge,” his Command Grab] Dislikes: Weak Youngsters

Private Nakagawa: An Indian hero who, while being abused and swayed by his mistress Pullum, enjoys her travels across the world by fighting strong warriors. He’s friends with Zangief, with whom he has a mutual understanding and respect. They hit it off, and at one time, they formed a tag team for a brief period: the “Ultimate Mateo Tag Team.” And this time, we even have the comments of a senior colleague: NIN!

NIN: I think he has become quite a rather fun character, with all the things that occurred. I have a hunch there was a time in which we thought that his moustache should grow longer after every victory he had, but why didn’t we do that, in the end…?

Next up, the psychopathic killer who seeks to win by any means necessary, Doctrine Dark!
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Doctrine Dark]
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130855.html

Private Nakagawa: A German-American young man! His eyes are scary! He was Guile’s subordinate, and an excellent soldier. It seems his real name is Holger.

Basic Info:

Name: Doctrine Dark
Height: 177cm
Weight: 71kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: December 3rd
Home Country: USA
Likes: Wires, Knives, Gunpowder
Dislikes: Rolento

Private Nakagawa: He was a brave soldier, with an exceptional sense for battle, and was assigned to a special force with great expectations about his future. However, his unit was exterminated by a nocturnal ambush from Rolento’s enemy troops. He was the sole survivor. He thinks he must win by any means necessary. Now he hates both Rolento and his former superior Guile, and has become a vindictive murder machine burning with revenge. More from our senior colleague:

NIN: His concept was that of a guy who uses any technique to win, no matter how underhanded or foul! His eyes are eerie, aren’t they? He stands out as quite a character so much, I think I’d like to do a spin-off game of him someday!

Keeping the train rolling, we have the “Arabesque” Pullum Purna!
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Pullum Purna]
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130856.html

Private Nakagawa: Pullum Purna is a girl from a multi-millionaire Arabian family. Mister Balba works for our Shadaloo♪ He’s developing something for us.

Weight: 49 kg
Blood type: B
Birthday: October 3rd
Home Country: A Certain Middle Eastern Country
Likes: Dance, Songs
Dislikes: Stubborn People, Hard-Headedness

Private Nakagawa: A willful young lady. She brims with curiosity, and loves new things. She’s searching for her father (who’s working at Shadaloo’s base) and travels the world to find him (I said he’s with us, dammit!). It seems she often troubles her attendant Darun. She’s a member of the “Worldwide Young Ladies Club.”

NIN: “I don’t know why, but, in the adjustment sense, I’ve had a hard time with her collision detection. I remember that her Drill Pulse was particularly bad…”

Finally, we close out this portion of profiles with the Monegasque heiress of the Dame family, Blair Dame!
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Blair Dame]
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130865.html

Likes: Fashion, Fighting
Dislikes: People without Composure, Poor People

Private Nakagawa: The only daughter of Europe’s greatest foundation. She’s a member of the “Worldwide Young Ladies Club.” She loves pure, genuine fights. Her anxious mother worries much about her, and every time Blair travels, her mom makes a bodyguard and butler follow her. It seems she owns various luxurious villas around the world!

NIN: For some reason, her design was decided from the early days. But she almost didn’t change from that. Maybe because good things are decided this way.
[/spoiler]

EDIT: speaking of the SRK forums, let me inform you that the outsiders/non- menbers can go and lurk on the forums again. (in case you don't remenber, there was a time when non-menbers couldn't access the SRK forums just becuase).

Today SF profiles are Hokuto and Bloody Hokuto. The translation was provided by Miðgarðsorm of the SRK forums.
[spoiler=Hokuto]
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130869.html

A girl a bit unsociable.
It seems she has her motives, but...?
She's close to her young sister Nanase.

Basic Info:

Name: Hokuto
Height: 162 cm
Weight: 51 kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: September, 23
Home Country: Japan
Favorite things: Fashion
Dislikes: Machines's Instruction Manuals

A girl who inherited the blood of Bushin family
and the old art of Mizukamiryū¹.
However, she doesn't adhere to either, fighting with a personal style.
Informed she has an older brother still alive, she embarks on a journey to find him.

"She was the character whose moves inputs changed the most from the development phase.
We had a hard time figuring out her new inputs,
and the adjustment was difficult.
I remember that the programmer
had to do a fine tuning of the camera during her win pose
in order to show her cute face."


¹ "Water God Style".
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Bloody Hokuto]
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130870.html

The rightful successor of the ancient art of Mizukamiryū.
Apparently, her name during childhood was Shirase².
It seems there is a secret behind it...

Basic Info:

Name: Hokuto
Height: 162 cm
Weight: 51 kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: September, 23
Home Country: Japan
Favorite things: Nothing
Dislikes: Nothing

The head of the Mizukami family confined in the "Seal of Blood"
the thought "obliterate Kairi".
Fearing the dissolution of the seal, Hokuto transferred the right of succession
to her sister Nanase, and set off on a journey to confront her brother.
The true form of the ancient Mizukamiryū, an assassination art.

Hokuto is actually an illegitimate child, her mother being from the head house and her father from a branch family.
In order to hide this secret,
the head of the family raised her as Kairi's sister.
But the grudge the branch family nursed for its mistreatment
transferred into Shirase under the form of a suggestion,
and in a stormy night, a Shirase possessed by that suggestion
threw Kairi into the sea
from the ship in which he was traveling.³

Even today, we have the comment of our senior colleague!

"I think I'll pass the whole task
of explaining who this character is to the EX Drama CD, lol"


¹ Literally "Hokuto whose Seal of Blood was removed". The mentioned seal is the red mark on her forehead.
² "News of death". A veeeery auspicious name to give to your daughter, absolutely not ominous at all.
³ Well, that's news to me. Rather dark.
