Today SF profiles are Edi E, Abigail and Belger (Mad Gear Galore!!), the translation was provided by Nicholas 'MajinTenshinhan' Taylor of EventHubs:

Edi E's profile

http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130191.html

Introduction

Much like the picture suggests, he's a corrupt cop.

He's officially in charge of keeping the order in Metro City during nighttime, but he always just lets people do what they want!

Basic info

Name: Edi E
Height: 204cm
Weight: 145kg
Blood type: O
Birthday: 21st of July
Country of origin: U.S.A.
Likes: Bloody steaks
Dislikes: Cody

Profile

He's the typical bad guy, helping the strong and oppressing the weak.

However, he knows how to work the world to his advantage, so he's able to do much for his own gain.

Anyone who opposes him is ruthlessly beaten with his baton. He always eats a type of gum that helps him recover his strength.

It's a special type of gum that tastes like 42910 points.

Abigail's profile

Introduction

The giant of the Mad Gear gang, wearing a leopard-print tanktop.

It sure was scary when you met him at the Statue of Liberty...

He's apparently really good at quizzes.

Basic info

Name: Abigail
Height: 244cm
Weight: 265kg
Blood type: AB
Birthday: 16th of October
Country of origin: Canada
Likes: Bananas
Dislikes: Rust

Profile

He kept telling people that he was from Holland, but it says Canada in his passport. That's how clueless he is.

He's the strongest member of the Mad Gear gang.

He doesn't have any particular fighting style, but he will charge at you with great force if you make him mad.

He's apparently still growing, heightwise.

Belger's profile

http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-129885.html

Introduction

The person who took control of Metro City!

Yes, that very man who fired a crossbow at you from his wheelchair!

The boss of the Mad Gear gang!

Basic info

Name: Belger
Height: 193cm
Weight: 105kg
Blood type: B
Birthday: 9th of April
Country of origin: U.S.A.
Likes: Having influence, diamonds
Dislikes: Haggar, Zombies

Profile

As a symbol of all of his power, he remodeled his wheelchair into a super highpowered electrical chair, and kept a crossbow with him.

His legs are actually fine, and when he from time to time does get out of the chair, he'll move around at amazing speeds.

He took control of Metro City through violence and fear, by using his vast fortunes.

Some guy called "X-Kira" found leftovers of some Stege transitions for SFV:




The reason why they all look odd is because the animations are all done on the Bustling Side Street stage, but we can get a good guess of what some of these are. For example, the sequence for Apprentice Ally appears to send the defeated opponent into the trunk of an elephant.

According to X-Kira, these animations have been in the game code since the 1.04a update. By the time I wrote this down, nobody is sure if and when we'll actually see them implemented into the game.

The latest KOF XIV trailer is up, This time, featuring the menbers of the Psycho Soldiers team (Athena, Kensou and Chin):

Keep in mind that there's been no official footage of Kensou until now.

Today's SF profile is Rainbow Mika. The translation was provided by  Nicholas 'MajinTenshinhan' Taylor of EventHubs:

Spoiler

Introduction

Here she is, Miss Rainbow Mika!

She's a rookie in the female pro wrestling circuit. Her real name is Mika Nanakawa.

Basic info

Name: Rainbow Mika
Height: 168cm
Weight: 70kg
Blood type: O
Birthday: 15th of March
Country of origin: Japan
Likes: Zangief's pro wrestling philosophy, beach running, finger pushups, neck bridges
Dislikes: Younger people with no manners
Fighting style: Pro wrestling

Profile

A female pro wrestler with strong aspirations, looking up to the teacher of her heart, Zangief.

She receives a request from her sponsor, Karin, and stands up against Shadaloo.

She speaks in a casual manner, befitting of a gym girl like herself.

It might be difficult to tell her facial expressions when she's wearing the mask, but she's actually pretty emotional.

The "younger people with no manners" part refers to her first meeting with Ibuki, where they immediately got off on the wrong foot and never managed to see eye to eye, but despite that, they ended up infiltrating Shadaloo's base together.

EDIT: here's a fun fact shared by EH user "Xykes" (quoting):

Fun fact: Her real name is "Nanakawa Mika"

"Nanakawa" = "七川" = "Seven rivers" in Japanese.

A rainbow is made up of 7 colors, flowing side by side like rivers.

MIND BLOWN.

I always loved that Mika's partner had the name "Perfect Woman".

Mika is pretty hype
