That’s Lita Luwanda
I love how much fun Udon is having with those covers. OH man, that Wild C.A.T.S. one is so 90s-perfect.
Oh god, that Street Fighter: The Movie inspired cover.
Ah. The blondeness got me
They have concept V- Skills posted.
Link
These were all scrapped because they would have either been of no use or functionally too strong (everyone except Vega’s are functionally too strong apparently)
Yoga Dimension
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/k05.jpg
(Basically Sim’s V-Skill that would have teleport swapped him in for the opponents location, and vice verse.)
Sadistic Chamber
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/k07.jpg
(Apparently Vega would have snapped his fingers and his SF2 era cage would appear for his V-Trigger)
Catapult Reload
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/k00.jpg
(This would have been Guile’s V-Skill which would have allowed for him to just do a crouching motion to charge and release Flash Kicks, but also cancel out of them by crouching again. Apparently they’ve had a hard time thinking of a better one than this)
Throw Anything
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/k03.jpg
(Zangief’s V-Skill could immediately throw you from anywhere if you happen to block one of his strikes. He could throw you from a position of standing, crouching, or even airborne.)
Harrier
http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/k04.jpg
(This would have been Nash’s V-Skill and would have been a high speed dash which he could have used on the ground or in the air. It seems they set this for the basis of the Sonic Move)
Edit: Also someone on Twitter made a very astute observation
Don Savage!?!
(His bio did mention him being in Las Vegas to do his TV show)
Masters Familly now:
BUT all others profile links are offline now (obviusly because all sites posted and Capcom just taken down)
I really, really wish the Sadistic Chamber would’ve been Vega’s V-Trigger.

Vega’s Profile from SF2 Complete File
[details=Spoiler]
Title: Evil spirit shrouded in darkness
(left column)
Profile
Using the psycho power of hatred as a weapon, Vega is the evil fighting king, eliminating his opponents one after the other.
His life history and age are totally unknown. What is known is that he learned from a famous fighter a technique to freely use psycho power. In a way, the psychic power is a negative energy, whose source lies in the power of hatred. He is the only one who can feel such hatred for everything that exists. He can control his feelings in favor of the forces of darkness.
It’s said that he is the one who really controls the Shadoloo, secret society that works behind the scenes in the underworld.
Character development secret story
Being the strongest boss, the character was developed with various techniques that ordinary fighters can’t do. He can’t receive an opponent’s punch and, at the same time, throw him away, or float after receiving a kick, easily jumping on top of an opponent; however, the moves Head Press and Deadly Throw are evidence of his out of the ordinary strength.
His name, Vega, was taken by the game’s development team because it sounded like someone strong and evil. But initially, his name would be Eagle Head.
Double Knee Press
In this move, Vega applied a fighting technique that he knew, not using supernatural powers. Despite being a very unique maneuver, barely able to discern how he is in fact, we can see that there is an influence of Muay Thai.
As stated in the name of the move, originally, the blow would start from the knees, but he ends up unleashing the movement with the whole leg. So it is not easy for the opponent to counterattack this cowardly technique. It is a movement that shows all the cruelty of Vega.
(right column)
Vega, as a fighter
His fighting style, as mentioned before, is not the melee. His posture is of hatred, aiming to kill the opponent. Fighting for him is a mix of pure fun and a way to get rid of those who get in the way.
Thinking only about winning the fight, he do not hesitate to use coward fighting techniques and the most cruel methods.
Of course, the fact that he is an exceptional fighter, it is rare for anyone to resist after receiving one of his brutal blows. Getting a chance to counterattack him is something quite difficult.
Psycho Crusher Attack
Vega is a type of paranormal. This is not telekinesis and telepathy, but rather a force that covers his body like an aura, and multiplies
the intensity of his attacks. It is an extreme form of energy.
The Psycho Crusher Attack is a technique in which he freely manifests this force. His aura turns into a white flame, covering his whole body, and, while spinning, it goes through the enemy. While piercing the opponent’s belly with a claw-like hand strong like iron, he
burns it with his flaming aura. He killed his master with this move…[/details]
Anyone feel free to make any corrections.
BTW, I don’t know japanese. But I do have a bunch of translations made several years ago…
Would you mind to translate Vega/M. Bison’s section?
Thanks!
Awww…good while it lasted.
Those navy catapult launch and Harrier references… Just to make sure, cause I don’t recall, both Guile and Charlie were Air Force pilots, right? Cause it’s funny how we haven’t seen any plane actually used by the Air Force related to them since the F-16 in Guile’s SF2 stage.
Harriers, (SFA2, SSF2XRevival and the story of SFA3) are operated by the Marines in the US.
And F-18s (Charlie’s SFA3 stage) are operated by the Marines and the Navy in the US.
Then we’ve got F-14s and A-6s in Guile’s SFEX stage, which likewise were operated by the Navy only and the Navy and Marines respectively in the US.
The harrier would have turn nice and yoga dimension is like Spiral’s x-ability switch in Xmen COTA… It’s like Dhalsim is capable of high level teleportation…that would be nice for other future dlc… glad they made the yoga stream cvs 2 like in game… Zangief current v-skill feels like they can have done something better…
dictator is dashes is like a translocation ability?
*Fixed
This was supposed to be their Blacklist…maybe we leaked it?
@“Lord Vega” Thanks for doing Vega’s part from the SFII Complete guide. I’ll go over it as I was about to do parts from that guide anyway.
About the concept art, I remember making a post regarding them about a month back about it just generally summing up what the descriptions said about each one.
Yup! They’re both supposedly in the Air Force. I feel its like in movies where they’ll just have planes, helicopters, and tanks just for the scenery, but not take into account what branch of military uses them, or even if the military’s country employs use of them at all.
Not only that Guile’s dress uniform alt was Army green in its default color. Isn’t the Air Force dress uniform white or blue depending on rank?
Both Nash and Guile are both to my knowledge apart of the USAF Special Forces Division. Depending on certain missions undertaken they too can wear traditional style camo.
Yeah USAF Special Forces are freakin’ GI Joes. Very versatile force.
@“Lord Vega” Some small revisions I thought I could point out…
Pretty much accurate aside from the small details that needed clarified and added. Here’s the actual Japanese script to that page in case anyone else would like to check it of course.
Spoiler
That image is missing Nadeshiko in her alterego costume
Speaking of GI joes, I am really liking those SF X GI Joe comics. I thought it would be tame and shit, but far from it. Like Gung Ho pulls out a knife and cuts Guile. Rufus tells Baroness that his girlfriend is very open minded and implies she wouldn’t mind a threesome lol. And Bison brutalizing Cammy!
Probably because it doesn’t show multiple versions of the same character.
Sodom and Heel Nadeshiko would be a cute couple
