Urien to Abigail: “I’ll forgive your insolence by taking that body of yours!”
Not story related, but I got a commission from the artist & animator Harry Partridge and wanted to share.
Those of you who know of my speculation obsession will appreciate this.
On topic, interesting that Urien wants to use Abi for experiments. I could only imagine the horror he could craft.
I didn’t know Urien was into that sort of things.
Oh well, an Illuminati demi-god is free to do whatever he wants in his spare time with his defeated enemies.
Abigail’s win quote on Juri should be: “I thought you were all revved up, but you run out of fuel too fast. You need more vroom vroom”
Or something like that, I have a terrible memory.
This character is hilarious.
Well, I’m bored. Here’s some draft prologues.
SAGAT
Spoiler
We open with a shot of the iconic Buddha statue from Sagat’s stage. The silence is broken by Sagat’s “TIGER UPPERCUT!”. We see an unnamed challenger fall to the ground.
SAGAT: Not bad, but you left yourself open. A tiger only needs one opening to deal a decisive blow. I learned that firsthand.
Cut to a flashback of Street Fighter 1. RYU approaches SAGAT in front of the statue.
SAGAT: What’s this? A lone dragon has come to challenge the Emperor of Muay Thai?
RYU: I have defeated all other challengers; I alone stand before you because I alone had the strength to make it here.
SAGAT: Very well. Let us see if you have the power to stand above a king!
SAGAT defeats Ryu in a fight. At the conclusion, he stands over a fallen Ryu.
SAGAT: Was that all? You may be strong, but there are plenty of guys like you all over the world!
RYU begins growling, a vocalization normally reserved for Evil Ryu. In a sudden burst of power, RYU rises from the ground to perform a Shoryuken. The attack strikes Sagat’s chest like a blade, creating a spray of blood. SAGAT lets out a defeat cry and falls to the ground. We then cut back to present day, with SAGAT clutching his chest scar.
SAGAT: I was entirely consumed by revenge after that day. It led me down a dark road.
The background briefly loses color, and is replaced by BISON standing in front of a Shadowloo symbol. It then returns to normal.
SAGAT: But I saw the error of my ways, and since then have walked a new path. One day, I shall fight him once more. Not for revenge, but so that both of us may grow from it.
A single slow clap begins in the background. FANG steps out of the crowd.
FANG: I must say, that story is quite touching. But any book that betrays Lord Bison shall receive an abrupt end!
SAGAT: Hmph. A second-rate fighter could never hope to defeat me. You will fall to my fist, as many others who fight with empty fists have done before.
SAGAT defeats FANG. After the fight, he disappears in a cloud of purple smoke.
FANG: You may have succeeded this time, tiger, but Shadowloo is forever! You will never escape from your crimes!
SAGAT: Perhaps. But I can overcome them, one day at a time.
Cut to several months later. SAGAT is standing over the ruins of the Shadowloo base from ASF.
SAGAT: A fitting end to a hollow ambition. If he has finally fallen, that can only mean one thing…
SAGAT: Ryu, the time has come to show me what lies behind your fist once and for all!
EAGLE
Spoiler
Kanzuki Estate, evening. EAGLE is walking along the bridge when he is approached by BIRDIE.
BIRDIE: Oi! Just where in the bloody hell do you think you’re going? This ‘ere’s private property!
EAGLE: Indeed, a high-class event for refined gentlemen such as myself. As for you…
BIRDIE: You tryin’ to say something, mate?
EAGLE: I think I’ll let my sticks do the talking!
EAGLE defeats BIRDIE, knocking him into the water.
EAGLE: About time you took a bath, disgusting pig.
As Birdie is climbing out of the water, KARIN approaches.
KARIN: You must be Mister Eagle. I’m Karin Kanzuki, head of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
EAGLE: Same here. Please excuse that unsightly display.
KARIN: To the contrary, I’m quite impressed with your martial prowess. Would you care to spar?
EAGLE: It would be my honor to dance with a lady such as yourself.
EAGLE and KARIN fight.
EAGLE: What a fight! I expected nothing less from a Kanzuki!
KARIN: Likewise, I knew you were special when you gave the current reigning US Champion a challenge all those years ago. Speaking of him…
Cut to EAGLE and KARIN approaching KEN and his family at the party.
EAGLE: Oh ho! Ken Masters! My, how you’ve grown! With a wife and child! If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were getting soft.
ELIZA: Oh dear…
KEN: Soft, huh? Why don’t you pull out those sticks of yours and show me how hard you are?
EAGLE and KEN fight.
EAGLE: You never fail to be a good sport, Masters. Come to think of it, where is your friend?
KEN: You mean RYU? He’s out there somewhere, conquering the Satsui No Hado.
EAGLE: Fascinating. I hope to find him again sometime.
SHIBASAKI approaches.
SHIBASAKI: Is everything to your liking, Master Eagle?
EAGLE: This party is quite excellent. I haven’t had a thrill like this for a long time. Maybe I’ll travel a bit more now, catch up with some old friends. Thank you.
RETSU
Spoiler
We start in India, where RETSU is locked in battle with ORO. The Sennin knocks RETSU down with a ki projectile.
ORO: Retsu, it really is a shame you never took to mysticism; it would give your style some much-needed perspective.
RETSU: Perspective? Is that what you’re blabbering on about now, Sennin? It’s easy to have perspective when you’re detached from the world!
ORO:…
RETSU: My apologies, I did not mean to offend…
ORO: No, you’re quite right. Many people limit their ability to progress with earthly distractions. It is my focus that allowed me to become a Sennin. One day, perhaps you too will reach that state. Until then, farewell.
ORO leaves. DHALSIM arrives on the scene
DHALSIM: Retsu.
RETSU: Oh, it’s you. Come to lecture me on the mysteries of the universe?
DHALSIM: You are troubled. Train with me a while, and perhaps you might find the answers you are looking for.
RETSU: If it’s a fight you want, who am I to refuse?
RETSU and DHALSIM fight.
DHALSIM: Your power is most impressive, but there is something missing.
RETSU: I haven’t had a fight like that in ages! Not since…
DHALSIM: You must go to him. Both of you have an answer the other seeks.
RETSU: You know what? I think I’ll take your word on that.
Cut to Forgotten Waterfall, where RYU is training.
RYU: Retsu?
RETSU: There you are! Not exactly a convenient location, let me tell you.
RYU: I have to train. To find what lies beyond…
RETSU: Well, don’t let me stop you. Show me what you learned from Gouken.
RYU: Very well.
RETSU and RYU fight.
RETSU: You’ve really improved since the last time I saw you! I guess all that wandering did you good after all.
RYU: Even now, I still find myself short of an answer.
RETSU: That happens from time to time. Just find the power to move forward, and you’ll leave your troubles behind.
RYU: The power … to move forward?
RETSU: There you go! Keep at it, and you’ll never need to look back.
RYU: Thank you Master Retsu. What will you do now?
RETSU: Me? I think I’ll take a leaf out of your book, kid. Travel the world, make some friends who don’t have their heads in the clouds.
Later, as RETSU is walking by himself
RETSU: Maybe Dhalsim was right after all. That was just what I needed. There’s a whole new generation of fighters out there, ready to test their mettle. And I’ll be there, the one whom all the up-and-comers will measure themselves against! Watch out kids, here I come!
I liked that, @just5moreminutes. Just a thing, though; please forgive my quibbling…
You intended Eagle to insult Ken? Because that’s the meaning of this phrasing. If one never fails, it means he always does something. And if Ken always disappoints Eagle, well…
The only characters that I think are left are Raven, theirs created character, Bison’s Torturer, the Lab Guard, and the wimpy AN Official. Since they have a Raven in SFV canon and most of these guys have no names, I doubt we’ll be seeing them.
Oh, my bad. Edited version
I don’t much cotton to this notion of making Eagle into a distinguished gentleman. That’s Dudley’s jam. Eagle’s thing is being Freddy Mercury.
@Shockdingo
A little fact about Q.
Oro’s win quote against Q in Japanese says:
http://i.imgur.com/BRHVCq7.jpg
“Hmmm, I’m sure I already saw you about 25 years ago.”
Street Fighter III 3rd Strike was released in 1999. Robot Detective K was broadcast in 1973, 26 years before. Still another reference. =)
I really like Abigail’s moveset
i’m still worried, i don’t want capcom to cancel Abigail now that their is negative reception
They wont cancel him. When things get to this stage (fully developed, paid marketing to cut a trailer, paid the voice actors, promised a release date) it’s not gonna be scraped even if the outcry is kinda high.
Thanks dude!
For years I kept hoping that more characters would say some interesting tidbits like that. As far as I’m aware, only Oro said anything of note to him, right?
Dude, unless video comes out of Abigail raping a handicapped child while saluting Hitler there is 0.00% chance of a fully complete character being cancelled.
Abigail winquotes from the stream
[details=Spoiler]Alex to Abigail:
“You got the power, but you need a lot more skill to back it up.”
Abigail to Alex:
“Good power. But fix that engine first. Then we can talk.”
F.A.N.G. to Abigail:
“It seems the stupider the target, the less effective my poison is.”
Abigail to Abigail:
Braaaaawr! I’m the most powerful!" (yes I actually counted the number of a’s in there)
Abigail to Juri:
“I thought you were revved up, but you ran out of gas so quickly! You need more vroom vroom!”
Abigail to Ken:
“Hmph, I ain’t got no time to play with rich little puff dolls!”
Urien to Abigail: “I’ll forgive your insolence by taking that body of yours!”
Ed to Abigail:
“What the hell are you? Some kinda robot?!”
Abigail to Gief:
“How! Many! Times! Must! I! Say! We are NOT muscle buddies!”[/details]
I think the difference is in how they deal with “offensive” people. Eagle is a lot like 2I Dudley in that he can be downright MEAN when provoked, which fits with Eagle’s so-called brutal streak. Dudley as of SF4 is more annoyed at people like Birdie and Balrog than outright hostile.
Interestingly, Eagle doesn’t seem to mind Balrog in CvS2. He almost considers him a kindred spirit, which speaks volumes about how deep that violent streak runs.
Looks like Abigail is actually the canonically smartest SF character then. Cause Fangs poison is hyper effective against him.
The character is DONE. They’re not going to cancel a character’s release a mere week before he comes out just because some people don’t like him.
So the Mad Titan noticed the Satsui no Hado. Cool.
