Bison Tokusentai!
TOKUSENTAI! TOKUSENTAI!
YEAH!
Whoo!
SagatâŚwhatever respect I held for you (and it wasnât much) is now goneâŚ
Balrog doesnât need a posse of bodyguards when he is a bodyguard himself. Its redundant, its like having bodyguards for the secret service.

I would like to have a âbeat 'em up modeâ similar to this, these Shadaloo guys could be opponents.
[/quote] Something like this would be really cool. It'd be quite the twist if Cinematic Story ended up being a great mode lol. I'm totally expecting a MK9 story mode with mediocre cutscenes though. ;)Is that all Balrog is in the games? A bodyguard?
Heâs a paid bodyguard of Bisonâs which makes him important, but thatâs pretty much what all the 4 Kings are. Bison just hires them because theyâre the best of the best fighters in their specific field.
@Magegg thats somehow similar to the obsecure mode of Pocket fighterâs âRunning modeâ without dialogâŚ
I enjoyed this ideawhen i first saw it⌠with no in-between battle pause and change scenes while fighting continuosly and simultaneous like in âWorld tour modeâ Guyâs survival
Another better variant âSurvival bonus modeââŚI always wanted this mode to be like destroying a Psycho drive/Shadaloo Weapons/Psycho device with Shadaloo troopersâŚ
When SFEx3âs End Credits the Guys grows bigger every knock down. Itâs just an end credits but their is âFUNâ in it.
Capcom had alot of creative source for fighting numerous guys, Cyborg monitors, Shadaloo Troopers, Seth Clones, Generic Dolls, Twelve prototypes, Geki Ninjas, Street Punks, Shadaloo Soldiers and etc.
I missed the days when Capcom was some who brings the best and ideas modes in their product.
Times when SNK was their rival ⌠one of the exciting bonus stages of the Second Art of Fighting : Strength Training (next training stage on the video bellow)

Imagine Good Beat em up Bonuses with some Interactive Cutscenes but not âtoo muchâ like MKX or SC3 but better Responsive Controls and Instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8370qJb7h2w
I literally saw this as I walked over to my apartment and had to stop walking.
I ever seen them more like the classic mafia movies stereotype
Dictator- the Boss â> thatâs easy
Sagat- bodyguard/Right-hand man â> was the closest to him, back to SF2 after reached tailand you had to beat him to face Bison. Even as gameplay was his bodyguard (notice the other 2 were in Spain/USA, too far for being useful in that role).
Also he was the previous leader in that area, so probably back to SF2 he was the one that give direct orders to the men (as #2) in SF2âs shadaloo-thailand HQ.
Also strong sense of honor is a common trait
Claw- hitman â> we see him often used as operative, send in places to kill or do stuff. Heâs smart, and seem to have some skills (stealth infiltration, acrobatic to escape, pilot, know computers). Plus heâs a fucking sadic sociopath killer that like see blood on his blades.
Also on general heâs the youngest/cool looking guy of the group, give to him the hitman role itâs kinda clichè too
Boxer- goon â> i guess the best use you can do of him is send him to break bones and heads, heâs âthe musclesâ of the group. As long you give him his fight money he will crush skulls
Also have a retired boxer/famous boxer as hired muscles is anothe clichè both as use and as prestige (if we assume that in Cap universe Rog was famous as Tyson)
Similar clichè roles can be applied to later additions like Juri, Fang, Cammy or Birdie
Boxer always kinda goon guyâŚ
it suck, being the first from Argentina was better than #23 brazilian capcom char
That doesnât seem to gel with the process shown in FANGâs story mode. And Vega always seemed more like an offensive assassination tool than a bodyguard.
I was always under the impression that Bison used the Dolls as bodyguards. And the 4 Kings were commanders of sorts(to which Sagat did no commanding during his time, because he didnât care).
The Four Kings are paid enforcers for Bison. They served as his bodyguards during SF2 era when there technically werenât Dolls in the canon. So Iâm going off of how the group was originally introduced, not what Fangs story mode implies.
Bison pays each of them graciously to do his bidding, whatever that maybe. All of the Four Kings can kill someone in their own way, itâs just some are better suited for the art of assassinations.
Even when Vegaâs originally introduced as a bodyguard he is still suited for a tool of assassination because thatâs in his ninjutsu skill set. Just like Fang with his poisons. Just like a good portion of his Dolls are suited for the same thing because they use stealthy clothing gear along with guns/ swords/ or their bare hands to do wet work for Bison.
Balrog is literally bodyguarding in SF4 when heâs charged with guarding Ed, which apparently is still his task in SFV according to Fang in Nashâs story (he probably sees it as babysitting so ditches him).
Bison can use his Four Kings anyway he wants to because he pays them to do so. Bison can use his Dolls anyway he wants to because theyâre all brainwashed to do his bidding.
Dolls are more reliable bodyguards because of the brainwashing thus they make up his Elite Gaurd, but the Four Kings can be tasked with the same thing in either case because he pays them to be his right-hand henchmen.
Granted the title of âShadaloo Kingsâ is likely more synonymous with high ranking officers now (SF5) more so than body guards (the statues say a lot). Vega and FANG for example appear to have a vested interest in the organization itself. Boxer on the other hand seemed only ever interested in the money. Balrog in SF4 was hired and tasked by Bison to guard human incubators for example like Bakfromon said. He was literally guarding Bisonâs âbodiesâ. Weâll see what motivates him this time around soon (probably related to Ed).
Balrog probably just likes the money and power. So what if he has to punch an elephant every now and then? Does a disgraced heavyweight champ have anything better to do?
Yeah I find it a little weird that someone as self-absorbed as Bison would erect 3 statues of his mooks to stand beside his, but eh it looks cool.
