What a disgusting announcement it would have been. So happy it’s over.

Now, let’s go back to daydreaming!

I think you guys would like Desk’s latest video, if you haven’t seen it:

Yeah, it’s my girl’s time to shine. Kinda surprised that her concept art looks like those mechs from IGPX.

That’s her armor as it currently looks.
I’m translating those sketches as well, sorry for the delay. I wish they were so detailed with every character…

Well that was just a waste of hope and rightly pisses me off more than it should. I dunno why, but I’m so mad.

Area

An inventor girl.
She brims with curiosity, but once she fixates onto something
she can’t see anything else in her surroundings anymore.
We have such a person, too!
His name is F.A.N.G…

Name: Area
Height: 152 cm
Weight: 41 kg
Blood Type: AB
Birthday: September, 5
Country of Origin: UK
Favorite thing: Research, Data Collection/Analysis, Her Father’s Inventions
Dislikes: Sports

She fights using “Cancer” equipment,
developed from her father, also inventor.
She takes part to fighting tournaments in order to attract World attention
and to obtain new data for "Cancer"
and for her father’s inventions.
Apparently, amongst all the fighters
she likes Mekazangief.¹

Even today, we have a comment from our senior colleague!

We have a special comment
and illustrations from our Mihara².
Mihara: “Nowadays, Area has far surpassed her father’s skills
as inventor.”

I’m currently translating the two illustrations, stay tuned.

¹ OH. MY. GOD.
² Ichirō Mihara, mangaka and Arika’s vicepresident. Arika’s co-founder with Nishitani.

Hawkingbird · 2016-10-25T19:41:40.000Z

Area’s concept art looks amazing.

TrueBackLash · 2016-10-25T19:58:22.000Z

Well, tried the website written on her armor but no dice.

Cestus · 2016-10-25T20:01:55.000Z

Oh, Area update
My standard reaction should be

But since yesterday we got Rosso one, i’m more like

Spoiler

still

ps: Kiki art itself is good, it’s the concept to be beyond salvation

Darc_Requiem · 2016-10-25T20:16:40.000Z

I remember when this was my favorite thread in the forum. Then we started getting shit like this. Can you guys go back to talking about Ronin Warriors? Can Ryo of Wildfire show up and turn Area into smoldering ash?

ruthless_nash · 2016-10-25T20:19:36.000Z

Uk? Wasnt this bitch from france or something?

Just as I thought, Area and cancer are co-related, and she’s a prominent developer of cancer.

The_Shakunetsu · 2016-10-25T21:10:16.000Z

She better now in a way that she is aged. I like her high tech weaponized fighting style as the SF equivalent of Lars Alexanderssons from tekken but as a female… while Viper is for Sharon…

so somewhere Mekazangief exist in SF timeline?

Chun-Li_Forever · 2016-10-26T00:05:02.000Z

Oh god, the red bull costumes…

Sorry for the double post, but those sketches were intriguing. It’s nice to read the suggestions of the artist to the development team.

Placeholder slots discovered in the latest update

Combined with the voice actor thing, I think we’re getting 2 Dolls as bonus characters before Season 2 starts. Might not be Enero/Fevrier, and it might be too early for Noembelu/Juni/Xiayu/Jianyu. Decapre (ugh) and Juli make the most sense, but really the whole field is in play right now.

RAW_Guts · 2016-10-26T00:40:37.000Z

Gonna try to not get excited but yes Decapre makes the most sense as a DLC candidate between the seasons. She is mostly finished then comes Juli, Fevier, or Satsuki. A nice way to add to the roster without using much resources.
