It’s possible her combat ability was part of her Shadaloo-programming and with her programming “removed” she can’t access her fighting ability. This might be especially true for Juni since she was heavily dependent on Psycho Power
Well, that wasn’t the case with Cammy, who didn’t lose any fighting ability when her brainwashing ending.
I think it’s more likely that, as with most people, after being a mind slaved soldier for years, when she’s finally free, she just doesn’t want to fight at all anymore.
It’s like if you were a slave building pyramids for years and got freed, and then went home and became a mason.
It is perceived that Juni’s brainwashing ran deeper than the other dolls, which is why she was considered to be the most loyal to Bison, and capable of going to the extreme. I like how in Alpha 3 she could borrow Bison’s Psycho Crusher as one of her supers, it just tied nicely to the whole i’m really 100% under his control, so much that I can conjure him.
To be fair Cammy was immediately placed into MI6 after her amnesia where they trained her to fight as well, and while she had been freed from Shadaloo control she retained all of her fighting skills. Juni is living a civilian life so the her skills for fighting aren’t properly retrained like Cammy’s, but I suspect she would retain the muscle memory and reflexes to re learn if given the incentive.
Juni probably can’t fight because Juli is a trigger for her. Maybe they’ll meet in the cinematic…
Also, it may be related to how their mind controls were broken. Dhalsim yoga’d it right out of Cammy in A3, but Juni seems to have been held captive and severed from Bison’s will. Maybe Cammy will ask him to help with this; he’s gonna need something to do once Necalli becomes Ryu’s problem.
Everything is doubles with this guy so F.A.N.G being an acronym for Fang of Nguuhao would make a lot of sense (that and the fact it uses two upper and lower case letters). He probably just goes by the acronym F.A.N.G now since the Nguuhao have been decimated and he’s not really the Fang any longer.
His lieutenants refer to him as the new Fang of Nguuhao which implies it’s a title that’s given instead of an actual name.
This, I think she’s more than a little traumatized and broken. She probably would start flashing back to all the atrocities that Bison made her commit. Looking at her now, she’s a really sweet and enthusiastic girl (look at how happy she is to learn about cats), so her having to face being a brutal killer is probably one of the biggest hurdles she needs to overcome. Plus, we don’t know how aware she was of what she did during her time as a doll. Was she completely aware of what she was doing, but locked in a personal hell?
All those things together may cause her to be absolutely terrified of even lifting a fist. Muscle memory could be a thing, but also, we don’t know physically what being severed from Bison did to her. She may be just getting enough strength back to walk around.
I would like to note how interesting it is that FANG is working on the dolls. In his prologue, we are told that the Nguuhao kidnap children and force them through the initiation rituals; those that survive the near-fatal poison exposure become members. In a way, this is similar to how the dolls were supposedly made: kidnapped from across the world, they were forcibly infused with Psycho Power and became assassins for Bison. The fact that FANG thinks their emotions should be wiped clean as part of his “modifications” may be telling of how he views himself and the world.
I would also like to note that Bison’s lieutenants tend to have some kind of personal trauma:
-Sagat: Scarred by Ryu
-Vega: Mother was murdered
-Balrog: Lost almost everything in a fall from grace
-FANG: Kidnapped at a young age, probably watched many other children die
I was hoping for Lee to return or some what a drunken kung fu master which is not yet been in Sf universe but maybe capcom didn’t wan’t alchohol in the game for ratings.
