Private Nakawaga: A strong giant.
He frequently changes jobs, using his strength
to seek employment as a bodyguard for various organisations.

Name: Arby
Height: 191cm
Weight: 179kg
Blood Type: 0
Birthday: March, 21

Private Nakawaga:He’s interested in sumō wrestling since he saw it in tv once,
and learned as an autodidact how to do harite¹ and buchikamashi².
He’s unexpectedly helpful with people,
and often shoulders his friends’ debts.
It seems he doesn’t actually work for the money;
instead, he’s only searching for a place to show off his strength.



¹ The standard sumō palm strike. It’s not technically a slap (see Honda’s Hyakuretsu harite often translated as “100 hand slap”).
² Sumō’s name for the head/shoulder block, often done at the start of a match. In Japanese pro wrestling is used as an alternative name for the regular Shoulder Block if executed by a former sumō wrestler like Takeshi Rikiō.

Three Skull Cross Gang goons done. Nine to go: May, Fritz, Fat Jack, Dirk, Rick, Billy, Ray, Johnny and G.

Private Nakawaga: He hits with iron claws!

https://srk2.com/topic/32-the-street-fig...mment=2051


Private Nakawaga: Mr. G loves himself.
He has **no relation at all** with _that other "G"_.
As a good delinquent, every day he works hard to his evil deeds.
His slight clumsiness makes him somehow attractive.

basic info:

Name: G
Height: 172cm
Weight: 77kg
Blood Type: A
Birthday: April, 2
Country of Origin: USA
Favorite things: His Hairstyle
Dislikes: Money Management

Private Nakawaga: His favourite attack is the Kenka Kick¹!
The "G" stands for "Great".
Because he cannot maintain his hairstyle during rainy days, he usually doesn't work when it rains.
He's very generous and always treats his friends to dinner,
but as he doesn't pay attention to his money he usually ends up skint in no time.


¹ Standard name for the running frontal kick, aka "Running Big Boot". Its original name was Yakuza kick (because it was used by Masahiro Chōno, who played the part of a yakuza man, but, because of the Japanese tv censorship, it was changed into the neutered kenka, "brawl".

Six Skull Cross Gang goons done. Six to go: May, Fritz, Fat Jack, Dirk, Ray and Johnny.

Also, my theory was incorrect. G does not stand for "Geralt".

Spoiler

Falke, the Guardian Hawk, Vaults into Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on April 24!
Posted by: Andy Wong on Apr 16, 2018 at 12:25:45 AM

[Key Art]

Falke, the third character of Season 3, will officially join Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on April 24! As a brand new character to the series, swoop in and watch her gameplay trailer below!

[Gameplay Trailer]

Falke was built to be an alternative clone for M. Bison. She was heavily experimented on by Shadaloo and was forced to train day in, day out to achieve perfection. Falke has the unique ability to infuse Psycho Power into objects and release it through them, mainly through her staff, which she named Harmony. Years of harsh training went by, causing Falke to spiral deep into despair, wishing for it all to end. Finally, Ed came to her rescue and they both were able to escape Shadaloo. Now, the two have a sibling-like bond and are searching for others like them in need.

The actual Falke trailer was released.

She looks ok, I guess.

For those out there who couldn't get into Darkstalkers' story for one reason or another and want to catch up, there's a video series called "Meet the Darkstalkers" which explains the character's stories.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLuzX...Kq2hJ0VDWw

This link has the playlist for each episode of "Meet the Darkstalkers" as well as a retrospective and a "how strong is Jedah?" video.

The reason why I'm quoting this is because The Nostalgic Gamer has released a new episode of this series. This one focuses on Jedah Dohma, the main antagonist of Darkstalkers 3.

Unless there's lore for Shadow & Marionette, the only character left is Lillith.

Also, looks like I found something trivia-worthy in this video.
