Private Nakawaga: She can kill her enemies with her agility
and her proficiency with the knife!
It seems her knife attacks pattern is so irregular
that it's extremely hard to dodge.

basic info:

Name: Eliza
Height: 160cm
Weight: 48kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: August, 5¹
Country of Origin: USA
Favorite things: NWOBHM
Dislikes: Dirty people

Private Nakawaga: She's fickle and prone to pursue every new fad.
Had some experience in a band,
when she wanted to become a vocalist
but soon she got tired and quit.
It seems she has a twin brother named Robert.

She's currently searching for a lover!

¹ Suspiciously identical to Maggio... Someone got the dates mixed up, I believe.

Her twin brother could be a reference to her male replacement in the western version of FF2. Also named Robert.

Maggio is Aprile's brother. No translation for his profile is available by the time I posted this.

About time Capcom started the profiles for the FF2 goons. The quicker we are done with that game, the sooner we will see profiles for the Final Fight 3 enemies and bosses.... and maybe the Andore Family.

If there's is a "trend" started by Street Fighter IV that I really dislike is the usage of one long, generic intro and one long, generic win pose, whereas intros and outros in fighting games used to be short, varied and sweet, and I do want them to make a comeback.

But then, on the other hand.... said special intros would probably cost man-hours to implement into the game. I'm not saying these would be impossible but on Capcom's priority list, between buffs and patches for SFV as well as everything related to MvC Infinite, special intros would be very low.

New Puzzle Fighter game in the works for mobile devices, slated for late 2017 release

Capcom Releasing Limited Edition SNES Cartridge of SF2 in order to celebrate the 30th anniversary.

What the fuck, Capcom.

This is how you celebrate the anniversary? With ANOTHER version of Street Fighter II??

Also, this quote from the article:

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Capcom is releasing a 30th Anniversary Edition of SF2 featuring limited edition Super Nintendo cartridges of the first ever console iteration of the series.

Uh? The original SF game was released for the PC engine in Japan on 1987 while the Super Famicon was released on 1990, and therefore, SFII was released on 1992. Unless of course that Frank "Yagami" Joseph was refering to SFII and it's crapload of versions as a series.

Also, I know this is quite literally the fourth time I'm mentioning this but if Capcom has such a obsession with releasing updates them why not make and updated version of that one game that actually NEEDS an update?

You know, the game that ACTUALLY started it all...

Private Nakawaga: A dangerous thug who throws Molotov cocktails.
He has an extremely short temper,
so his companions always fear him.

basic info:

Name: Joe
Height: 185cm
Weight: 77kg
Blood Type: B
Birthday: August, 1

Eats tomato spaghetti every day.

He's always quiet in front of people
but he committed several arsons
to release the stress he accumulated, and was arrested¹.

¹ I know it doesn't really have to do with Joe's case, but that reminded me of Carl Barks' masterpiece The firebug, when Donald Duck suffered a blow to his head and became a violent pyromaniac
