Oh btw
@Shockdingo @YagamiFire you guys never finished summarizing the KOF plot. You guys stopped at KOF…98 about a hundred pages ago
Guys! I found a picture of Daemos.
W-was my writeup at least decent? 
Oh! My bad!
Okay so in 97, Iori and Kyo destroyed the Orochi…or at least banished it back from whence it came. In the aftermath of that fight, the weakened Kyo was kidnapped by the NESTs cartel. NESTs is…basically a way more sprawling, effective Shadaloo. They are a scientifically advanced group that has incredible wealth and power and that seeks global domination.
In KOF 99 (98 is a dream match…non-canon), Kyo is a prisoner of NESTs that is being studied to create a clone army of Kyo-clone super-soldiers capable of wielding his flame powers. They have limited success…which brings us to the new hero…K’ (K-Dash). K is a young man that is a “clone” of Kyo. Note, however, in this case, clone really refers to the fact that has been heavily genetically modified with Kyo’s DNA. There are ALSO Kyo clones that are genetically vat-grown copies…K is not one of these. K’ can use the Kusanagi flame but has trouble controlling it…so NESTs created a special red glove for his right hand to contain and regulate the power. Along with cyborg NESTs operative Maxima and the NESTs agent Whip, they are tasked with defending NESTs.
Then comes Iori Yagami. See, Iori is pissed that Kyo has been kidnapped because NO ONE is supposed to kill Kyo but him. So he seeks out NESTs and actually frees Kyo with the two fighting side-by-side to dismantle the organization. Heidern also fights against NESTs, utilizing his mercenary team to try and take them down.
For this chapter of the story, the main NESTs villain is the absolutely amazingly bad-ass Krizalid who K’ is a clone of. Krizalid perfect handles not only Kyo’s flame (having been modified just like K) but wears a battle-suit that lets him record fight data. K’, Maxima and Whip (Krizalid’s sister) turn on the evil organization and eventually clash with Krizalid before getting away. Krizalid is punished for his failure by a higher-up and is killed…but not before finding out that HE is actually the clone and K’ is the original and so his memories of his sister Whip are actually fake.
After 99, the NESTs saga really kicks in as the NESTs agent Kula is added to the mix in 2000. Kula is an ice-based anti-K fighter deployed to take down the rogue K’. Under the supervision of NESTs agents Diana and Foxy, and alongside her robotic counterpart Candy, the young Kula is dispatched to kill K’. Heidern continues his war against NESTs as Kyo & Iori also continue to fight the group on their own. In 99, Kyo actually removed a new move set that emphasized his fighting skill over his flames because the experiments performed on him weakened his flame abilities…so he’s pissed about that too. Kula eventually clashes with K’…but finds out she has no real reason to want to kill him.
Long story short, the big-bad of 2000 is the one who killed Krizalid; Zero. Zero is an IMMENSE bad-ass and power house. A super powerful fighter outfitted in a technologically advanced, bladed combat suit, he actually wields gravity as an element and can form micro-blackholes with his chi. Zero, it ends up, is actually a traitor to NESTs and wants to go into business for himself…so he seizes control of his Zero-Cannon project, a hugely destructive satellite weapon. He intends to use it to fire on the NESTs base in Southtown to eradicate the base (and, incidentally, Southtown with it). Diana & Foxy find out about this and, after Zero has lost a battle against K and his team, they dispatch him…but the countdown lets the beam fire. Thankfully, Takuma manages to deflect the satellite beam with a super attack (some Akuma level shit right there from Mr. Karate!) that utterly exhausts him nearly fatally. Kula, going into space with Candy, destroys the satellite. Plunging back towards Earth, the AI-driven Candy protects Kula…becoming destroyed in the process.
NESTs goes back to the drawing board.
In 2001 we reach the end of the NESTs saga with the emergence of an actual full NESTs team consisting of Foxy, Angel and, most importantly, K9999. K9999 is the 9999th clone of Kyo…the pinnacle of NESTs cloning tech. He’s also batshit insane and his genetic structure is malleable letting him turn his limbs into (literally) Tetsuo-style crushing weapons of gooey, fleshy death…as well as drills and shotguns. Out of control, K9999 is obsessed with beating K’ to prove his own strength and does POORLY when it comes to following orders.
Fighting through the tournie, K’s team faces the sub-boss Zero. Yup. Zero again. But not really. This is the ORIGINAL Zero, revealing the one in 2000 to be a clone. Oddly, this Zero is a polite, honorable fighter instead of the absolute scumbag the 2000 Zero was. He loses and launches the winners into space to the NESTs satellite base where they come face to face with Lord NESTs, the creator of the cartel.
Unfortunately he gets killed immediately by his subordinate Igniz who is revealed to be the real power & authority of the organization. Igniz eventually loses to K’ and company (by now you should realize they’re the new main heroes…and quite successfully I might add) and sets the satellite base to crash. Kula manages to use her ice powers to save the falling satellite by cushioning its entry and fall. K9999, still swearing to kill K’ despite the fall of NESTs, attacks Foxy and dispatches of her, going rogue along with Angel who is apparently infatuated with him on some level (she’s a bit of a crazy sadist herself despite her fun-loving personality).
This ends the NESTs saga and 2002 is a dream match. KOF2002 Unlimited Match, however, has basically retconned some of this so that instead of K9999 it was apparently Nameless that was the 9999th clone…but the events are basically very similar otherwise.
After 2002 starts the Ash Crimson saga…as we return to the power of Orochi…
Here’s the rest of the SF4 synopsis stories.
Makoto’s SF4 synopsis:
[details=Spoiler]The obvious wear and tear on the dojo has reached a point where it could easily collapse at any moment. Makoto was aware that the dojo was old, but had no idea the conditions were that bad. Hearing news about the upcoming tournament, Makoto realizes that the prize money would go a long-way in helping her rebuild the dojo back to its glory if she’s able to win. With that, she eagerly enters.
Makoto later runs into Fei Long, whom she recognizes from the Kung-Fu movies. Instead of asking for an autograph, Makoto challenges him to a fight. Defeating someone like Fei Long would do wonders for the reputation of Rindo-Kan, so she has to take advantage of this opportunity. Fei Long has no idea what she’s going on about, though he accepts her challenge.
During her ending, she’s shown working on the roof of the dojo with her brother urging her to be careful up there. Makoto was able to “beat the pants” off of the various fighters she had come across, but the tournament ended with her receiving no money. Taking on strong opponents was fun in itself, but winning some money would’ve made the experience much sweeter.
Makoto now understands that it’d be best to disregard the idea of making quick money and concentrate on doing it the old fashioned way. If she’s able to rebuild the dojo and spread the word of Rindo-Kan, that’ll surely help matters. Makoto nearly falls off the roof before catching herself, remarking that she’s gotten herself into yet another mess.

Dudley’s SF4 synopsis:
[details=Spoiler]It opens with Dudley receiving an invitation to the upcoming S.I.N.'s upcoming tournament. While the idea of engaging in battle is intriguing, Dudley doesn’t see much social value in the way he was invited. Regardless, the garden could use some new roses, and he could use a good fight to get his mind off of his father’s missing car. Dudley orders Mr. Gotch to make a reply to the invitation and leaves for the tournament.
At some point during the tournament, he’s approached by Balrog, who proceeds to insult his prowess as a boxer and demands that he takes him on. Dudley can see that Balrog is a loud mouth, though this does not deter him from accepting the challenge of a fellow pugilist. Dudley tosses a rose at Balrog, which is angrily swatted away by the boxer before he prepares to fight.
Dudley and Mr. Gotch are shown walking through the garden in his ending. The event itself was memorable for Dudley even though he was unable to find any worthwhile roses. Shortly after, he spots a wild rose in his garden, wondering where it came from. As Dudley sits and drinks a cup of tea, he ponders that mankind’s greatest breakthroughs will always pale in comparison to the beauty of a natural flower.
[/details]
Ibuki’s SF4 synopsis:
[details=Spoiler]Ibuki was looking forward to attending training camp until she realized they have to choose between a mountain and a forest. Ibuki doesn’t want to waste her youth isolated from the many cool guys out in the world, so just decides to pretend she’s going to camp while getting her friend Sarai to cover for her. Now that she has free time, she can go out and meet many handsome guys.
During her quest to meet awesome guys, she bumps into Sakura, literally. Recognizing Sakura as a fighter, the shinobi girl asks if she’ll introduce her to some cool guys if she wins the fight. Sakura thinks this request is rather strange before agreeing to introduce her to a guy in particular.
Ibuki is seen running through the forest to attend a meeting taking place. She’s undoubtedly late, though this gives her an opportunity to utilize her ninja skills. She attempts to camouflage herself in a tree before joining the meeting without being caught for being late. This is short-lived when the instructor senses her presence and opens up the tree with a couple well-placed Kunai’s, exposing Ibuki’s underdeveloped stealth ability.
[/details]
Elena’s SF4 synopsis:
[details=Spoiler]Elena is beginning to sense trouble from nature. Her father notes that the Shaman has also been hearing strange sounds from the trees, believing a bringer of death is the reason why this is happening. While he’s not entirely sure who this person is, he believes they could have a connection to the upcoming tournament hosted by the mysterious S.I.N. organization. He wants Elena to observe the world and learn the truth for herself, unlike her brother who believes this is too dangerous. Elena assures him that she’ll be okay before taking off to explore.
During her journey into the world, she meets Sakura, who finds her rhythmic style impressive. Elena’s filled with excitement knowing there are young but friendly people like Sakura walking a path similar to hers.
The journey has proved to be quite fruitful for the young Elena. Throughout her trip, Elena has made many new friends. Blanka, El Fuerte, Dudley, and even someone as bloodthirsty as Akuma were swayed by the power of friendship, thanks to Elena. This isn’t enough. Elena wants to continue traveling the world to see everything that’s in it, including meeting people from every country. This is what Elena wants, and she now has her sights on visiting Japan. Even from a great distance, Sakura appears to sense Elena’s kind nature, leaving her no choice but to smile.[/details]
Yang’s SF4 synopsis:
[details=Spoiler]Yang has a bad feeling that Yun is going to follow Chun-li despite the fact that this could end up being a good thing. Someone would have to be incredible to have Chun-Li’s attention. He’s only ever lost to Yun and his uncles, so he now has a chance to test himself against other fighters throughout the world.
He gets the perfect opportunity when he meets Ryu. Yang has heard all about him, so fighting him is a must. While there’s a clear difference between the two, Ryu sees Yang’s potential and encourages him to continue finding himself in order to get the most out of life.
Chun-Li finds Yang putting boxes out behind his Uncle Lee’s restaurant. She heard that he and Yun took off without telling anyone. Yang might’ve gotten in trouble, but the experience he’s gained from fighting strong opponents was worth it in the end. Yun comes outside to greet Chun-Li as well. She’s there to greet their Uncle Lee before leaving. Thanking them for their help, Chun-Li says goodbye. Yang looks forward to the next time they’ll meet.
[/details]
Decapre’s SF4 synopsis:
Spoiler
A mysterious Cammy lookalike is shown in a tank being controlled by Shadaloo scientists. Memories of her, Cammy, and her fellow dolls are shown. Decapre is shown attempting to comfort Cammy before she’s eventually subjected to harsh experiments. Decapre breaks out of the tank with Killer Bee on her mind. All she can think of is killing Cammy. As fate would have it, Decapre finds Cammy and attempts to take her out. Cammy doesn’t want to fight her and would rather do what it takes to save her instead.
Standing over the defeated Seth, Decapre prepares to eliminate him before she’s stopped by Cammy. Seeing Cammy quickly sends Decapre into a frenzy. Decapre wants to kill every part of Cammy and attacks her relentlessly. Out of nowhere, Decapre is knocked down by unknown means. Cammy goes to help her, though Decapre’s rage towards Cammy is still intact. The brainwashed doll removes her mask to reveal her disfigured face, much to the surprise of Cammy. Bison is then shown hovering in the air with a dark portal behind him. He tells Cammy that Decapre is going to die, but believes a “bargain can be made”.
When the weakened Decapre took another look at Cammy, all of her feral rage appeared to subside. Reminiscent to their interaction as children, Decapre reaches out for Cammy and ask “if she’s hurt?” and tells her “it’s alright.” Bison finds the whole situation amusing before he takes the confused girl away from Cammy. The two sisters take one last look at each other before Decapre closes her eyes.
Alex’s SFV synopsis:
[details=Spoiler]Patricia greets Alex while he’s outside working on his trailer. An invitation arrived at her house because Alex has yet to change his address. Inside his home, Patricia gives him the envelope and a few sandwiches she made just for him. When Alex is finished eating, he falls asleep while being watched by a few Shadaloo men. Alex wakes up in a mysterious training room, unaware of his reason for being there. F.A.N.G. gets his attention and refers to him as “Shadaloo test body 222222”. Alex has never heard of Shadaloo and wonders what it is, further convincing F.A.N.G. that he’s just playing dumb on purpose.
F.A.N.G. begins the “AS simulation experiment” using Alex as a guinea pig to test his combat ability. The first test is a holographic version of Dan that Alex makes quick work of. F.A.N.G. believes the next test will be a bit tougher. This time it’s a combination of E. Honda and Hakan. The duo begins with a slight edge on Alex, but they’re easily overpowered when Alex fights more seriously.
Alex has grown bored and just wants to return to work on his trailer. He apparently doesn’t understand the seriousness of the situation. F.A.N.G. tells Alex that he’s been kidnapped and will continuously be tested as an experimental body until they feel as though he’s ready. Alex is still confused before a holographic version of Birdie appears in front of him as his next test.
F.A.N.G. is pleased with Alex’s progress before throwing yet another test at him; this time in the form of Chun-Li. Alex is growing increasingly frustrated with these tests before he faces Ryu as his last test. The final battle does considerable damage to the training room, convincing Alex that another bout will surely destroy the room and give him an opportunity to escape. F.A.N.G. doesn’t want to risk losing his lab, so he fills the room with an unknown mist to knock Alex out.
Not too long after, Alex awakens in his home, wondering if everything that just took place was a dream or not. Patricia shows up with more of his mail; one being an unknown chess piece labeled as “A gift” for Alex’s work at the base. Patricia has no clue what he’s going on about, and urges him to wash his face after seeing a scratch on it. Once Alex sees the scratch for himself, he understands that his mysterious abduction wasn’t a dream after all.

Guile’s SFV synopsis:
[details=Spoiler]In China, Guile finds an injured Abel fighting F.A.N.G before intervening with his Sonic Boom. Once F.A.N.G. realizes that Guile isn’t going down, he makes his escape through the purple mist. Abel wants to chase after F.A.N.G., but Guile assures him that he would just be walking into another trap. Guile informs the soldier that recklessness and bravery are different, as he grasps the dog tags of his friend, Nash.
He remembers sometime back when Nash told him he needs to learn to keep his cool in battle while in the midst of a sparring session. Guile understands the importance of his words as he gives the same advice to Abel years later. Abel thanks Guile for everything before telling him that he’s chasing Shadaloo. The disappearance of S.I.N. researchers has given him a reason to do his own investigation. Guile decides to join Abel on his trip to the closed-down S.I.N. lab in hopes of finding some worthwhile information.
The two find Juri wandering around the lab. Abel wants to know why she’s there and considers fighting her to learn why. Juri has no desire to fight him, giving the two the go ahead to look around the lab themselves. Their search uncovers Operation C.H.A.I.N.S. before the lab begins to crumble. Abel is too weak to move and tells Guile to save himself. Guile has no intention of losing anymore friends, so he does what it takes to get Abel out of the lab. Before they can relax, Vega confronts them.
Before Vega flees, he informs the two that the “curtain hasn’t risen on the stage of death”. While Abel questions if this means they’re going to start a war, Guile is confident that they’ll win in the end as long as they’re able to stay under control.

That should be it for SF4. Now I only have a few SFV characters left!
bak, I **totally **overlooked Dudley and forgot to post his bio in the pastebin. Do you happen to have it handy? If so, could you just add it to the guide along with his SF4 synopsis when you get a chance? Can’t forget the dudster!!
Great write-up. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions on the KOF plot?
I’ve been thinking about this for a while too. The series kind of lacks a true snarker outside of occasional one-liners by Ken or Juri. A “Merc with a Mouth” Necro would be the perfect way to retool an old character and build up the Illuminati as rising villains. I’d really like to see his interactions with Nash, Cammy, Zangief, Dhalsim, and Urien. He could also have some interesting interactions with Decapre if they ever meet. Going further, they could set up his Second Impact story: (3:30, 7:38, and 9:05)
Post his AAC pics again
Man whenever I read that she’s only after “handsome guys” I can’t help but laugh… I like the character and all but damn her role in past SF games is just so odd, I hope she’ll have a better one in SFV.
…On second thought, I think you never posted his AAC entry (can’t find it in the thread).
What’s the hold up???
Lol, we’ve had so many entries that we must’ve just overlooked him.
It’s funny because the album has been there since the beginning. We overlooked the muthafucking gentlemen, though. That’s not alright!
I know why they went that route in SF4, in order to have an immature version of her SFIII personality. Problem is, they overblew it pretty hard. Everyone added after Vanilla SF4 except Juri has no effect on the actual story and/or rehashes their story from another game. They seem to be taking SFV a lot more seriously and aren’t afraid to make small changes in order to strengthen their personality.
I really hope we get Balrog this month. He needs to be there for Shadowloo’s biggest plan, and we might see more of Ed in the process. Being hired muscle, he’s probably going to have an assignment similar to Alpha 3 as an enforcer that intimidates people into going along with Bison’s plans.
Didn’t someone at Capcom once casually mention that he played some of Balrog?
One of the UK guys iirc. However, we don’t know how far in development he was or where the other characters were at then. If Capcom had all or most of those 6 nearly done by launch, he wouldn’t be that far ahead of other characters. I think this is entirely possible because of WHEN the game was released: In order to cover this CPT season, the game was released in February. If the release cycle has the last character coming out in September, I’m pretty sure the original plan was to release before the holidays (which they have done with other games like UMvC3) but all the characters who weren’t quite finished were saved for DLC and others might have been cut entirely as they were in the early stages.
Poor Dudley slipped through the cracks
(The irony being he isn’t poor.)
True. I won’t pretend to be an expert, but I assume designing and developing a character properly takes far more than a couple of months. For all we know, their assets have probably been created a long time ago but the movesets are being fine-tuned still. With that said, it would be difficult to know for sure who’s next. The only character who I bet will come after the story mode is released is Urien. Anyone else, I have no idea. It’d be strange to see Balrog without being able to fight him, though.

The proud perfectionist British professional heavyweight boxer. The failure of his father’s business once put him through depressing times, but he’s managed to recover most of the original assets through fighting. Contrary to the perceived impression of him being a close quarters powerhouse who charges in a fight, there’s also a sociable side to him who loves tea and roses. He’s decided to respond to a recent invitation, and take part in the world fighting tournament.
So Dudley is offically black. We can put the “Dudley is East Indian” thing to rest once and for all.
Ah, so the car really does belong to his father. I knew I remembered that from somewhere, but wasn’t quite sure. I just assumed it was his. Good to know.
Takayuki Nakayama has drawn a picture of Fabio Matusda (the elder brother of Laura and Sean) so we know what he looks like now.
Jeeze, do Matsuda’s just get whiter as they age?
