Fighting Games

Today SF's profiles are Yūta Homura (the ramdon guy who pops up during Ibuki's intro in 3rd strike) and Tsukushi Kasugano (Sakura's younger brother) . The translation was provided by bakfromon from the SRK forums.

He’s affiliated with the same shinobi village as Ibuki.

Name: Yūta Homura
Height: 167cm
Weight: 63kg
Blood type: A

Private Nakagawa: A ninja who is affiliated with the shinobi village.
He’s a passionate young man who inspires to open his own store.
He trains alongside Ibuki and Sarai Kurosawa.
His taijutsu is great, but his ninjutsu is horribly weak.
He’s talented at playing beat ‘em up games.
Apparently, it’s a piece of cake for him to clear a whole game with *Jennety using one coin.

* Jennety: aka Mack the Knife, aka Mummy Commando from the Captain Commando series.

Private Nakagawa: Kasugano….? Apparently, this is the brother of that Sakura girl.
He too can probably shoot Hadokens and stuff just by watching and imitating them.
Huh, he’s just an ordinary boy? Great that’s good to know.

Basic Info:

Name: Tsukushi Kasugano
Height: 159cm
Weight: 49kg
Blood type: O
Birthday: March 29,
Home Country: Japan
Favorite things: Video games, plastic models
Dislikes: Umeboshi

Private Nakagawa: Here he is at home playing the fighting RPG *"Ryuken Tsuyoshiki"


He’s a noble and honest kid who loves games.
However, he doesn’t like to move his body around too much.
During SF Zero 3 he was doing a speedrun of “Ryuken Tsuyoshiki 2”
and he barely went outside.
With the current launch of the CPSP2 he’s obsessed with
the super-fighting RPG “Ryuken Tsuyoshiki Gaiden Chapter Roar”.
By the way, he’s also very talented at drawing pictures, which he’s even been awarded for at school.


*Ryuken Tsuyoshiki translates into "Dragon Punch Adamant Tale"

Not gonna lie, for the longest time I thought this "Yuta" person was a girl. LOL.

What caught my attention the most is the way they talk about Captain Commando. This implies that the series does takes place in the same universe as Street Fighter... as a videogame inside a videogame. It does take place in the same universe, just not the way most people think.

If I'm correct, then this would be an example of the "Show within a show" trope
