NELSON
This young boxing prodigy has lost an arm after a terrible accident, but has been able to go back quickly into the ring thanks to a prosthesis conceived based on the last advanced robotic techniques. He fights now in order to seize the crown of World Champion, while hoping every day his partner will come out from a coma.
It just occurred to me, but isnât Athenaâs whole gimmick is that she updates her attire in every game to keep up with current jpop trends? If thatâs the case then surely the sailor outfit must seem pretty dated by now.
This backstory is way better than any of the SFV new challengers, who are basically carbon copies of previous SF characters (Necalli = Akuma; Rashid = T. Hawk; Laura = Makoto; F.A.N.G = Vega). I think we hadnât seen guys with Nelsonâs backstory anywhere before.
At the risk of derailing a kof thread into an sfv one; explain how fang is like vega and rashid, a middle eastern guy looking for his friend and keeps up with memes and trends on the internet is anything like thawk.
Iâm addition, nelsons got the âinjured/sick/dead important person in his lifeâ story that has been used a million times over I media
I donât really know how argentinians would feel about this since its population consider itself of fairer skin than other people of south america at north of Argentina. Oh, and Uruguay also has the same blue/white pattern with the same Sun of May in its flag. But I like the idea of the team united by the stage.
I donât really care about representation but many people in Brazil thought for years that Ralf was brazilian and Clark was argentinian because of '94, SAB and mistranslation. If anything, Leona was raised somewhere in the amazonian rainforest and her nationality was never confirmed.
As for mains. Probably Athena, Kensou and Kyo while also trying Nakoruru, Yuri, King, Terry and maybe some new characters. Loved it how Elisabeth plays in XIII. Shame she got nerfed in the console release but Raiden was also heavily nerfed so everything works, I think.
The gender of Rashidâs friend hasnât been specified and FANG doesnât a desire to take over Shadowloo. He wants to serve Bison to the best of his ability. A character whoâs actually loyal to Bison is rather unique for the series.
