Yūta Homura

http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/c...t_11043455

Private Nakagawa: His name is read as “Yūta Homura”.
He’s affiliated with the same shinobi village as Ibuki.

Basic Info:

Name: Yūta Homura
Height: 167cm
Weight: 63kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: June, 16
Home Country: Japan
Favorite things: Training, Mantou
Dislikes: Centipedes

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

Blood type: A

It seems she gained new moves
and even mastered a technique
in which she hits her opponent thousand times in a second².
She completely sunburned herself
during a training in a beach of a southern country.
It's not that she did awake to anything, ok?
She's only diligent in her training...

¹ As did all other projectiles in MvC series, lol.
² Her version of the Shun Goku Satsu, obviously.

Skull Cross was a lower branch of Mad Gear;
in order to destroy them,
Dean teams up with Haggar, Lucia and Guy.
His special weapon is the hammer.

The fact he likes both meat and curry rice
means he should like beef curry, right?¹


¹ Do I really need to comment about the lameness of that sentence?

Finally, the heroes of Final Fight are complete.

and became Cody's lover.
However, when Cody was imprisoned for his numerous acts of violence
she estranged herself
and ultimately broke up with him.
We heard she's currently studying in France.

He is particularly able to play the djembe between his legs.
It seems he once practiced it until it gave him bloody urine².


¹ This has "DUCK KING RIPOFF" written all over the face.
² Now that's dedication... I guess.

EDIT: Rick actually has an entry in AAC as well so he's not just some random character made just for CFN profiles. Ironically he hasn't made an physical appearance until now.

But when it comes to fighting, he can make his opponents suffer
with his quick steps and razor-like jabs.
It's almost impossible to escape his punch combos.
After Mad Gear's destruction,
it seems he's hanging out with Abigail and Axl.
In contrast with his appearance, he's a health freak and drinks only decaf.

It seems he lost his memory, so he doesn't remember details such as his birthday.
Also, it seems he's good with heavy weapons¹.
He has a sense of humour, and speaks mixing jokes in his sentences.
His favourite phrase is "Yeah, me too, man!"²



¹ LOL. Direct reference to Forgotten Worlds, whence his name came.
² As Player 2 said in Forgotten Worlds ending.
