Capcom's
CFN Portal Returns With New Street Fighter V Concept Art For Canon
Characters
|
|
After
a 3 month hiatus, Capcom's CFN Portal returns with some new Street
Fighter V character concept artwork. Among the new "canon"
characters covered are Hakan's wife and daughters, and two pro-wrestlers
who take inspirations from real-life wrestling legends.
Name:
Meteorito Jr.
Height: 177cm
Weight: 90kg
Blood type: Unknown
Birthday: April 20th
Country of Origin: Mexico
Likes: Movies (he acts in them) [That sounds a lot like
El Santo], Baseball
Dislikes: Airplanes
Private
Nakagawa: "He was originally a superb
high-flyer, who used as his special move, a modified
Moonsault Press named "Yucatán Tornado." [This
references Último Dragón‘s move Cancún Tornado,
a Twisting Moonsault (that Último Dragón mainly did
springboarding outside the ring). The inventor of the
Twisting Moonsault was Chaparrita ASARI, who named it
Skytwister Press, and for this reason it’s considered
mainly a female wrestler move in Japan: think DOA’s
Tina, or Tekken’s Jaycee for instance, both equipped with
the move.] When he came to Japan for a fight, (he went
by ship because he’s afraid of planes) he injured his neck
after being caught in Antler Inoki’s Abdominal Stretch.
From then on, he started using a spinebuster named Kukulkán
as a finisher. He’s known as an excellent trainer and has
opened his dōjō in Mexico, where he’s raising
many promising young wrestlers." [Exactly as Último
Dragón himself has done with his Toryumon]
For the
280th Profile, we meet (the likeness of) one of the top
Japanese professional wrestlers in history, Antler Inoki.
Private
Nakagawa: "The worthy rival of SASHA
Nishiki and Meteorito Jr. He even fought against the macho
mayor Mike Haggar, a true wrestling legend! The image below
depicts him when he was still active." [Antonio
Inoki is currently retired and is a wrestling promoter and
politician, well known in Japan for his meetings with Saddam
Hussein before the Gulf War and, more recently, with North
Korean officers, in an effort to improve the relationship
between North Korea and Japan.] |
Name:
Antler Inoki
Height: 191cm
Weight: 100kg
Blood type: AB
Birthday: February 20th
Country of Origin: Japan [All copied straight from Antonio
Inoki's real stats. Yup, even his blood type.] Likes:
Sunflower Seeds [Antonio Inoki actually sells his own brand
of sunflower seeds.] Dislikes: Egg Dishes
Private
Nakagawa: "With his unique talent for
sports, he was active as a big name killer. [Among
others, Antonio Inoki beat Andre the Giant and Vader during
his career.] He had friendly relationships with various
federations in the whole world, [Even with the then WWF,
in which he was an unrecognized champ, having beaten Bob
Backlund in a controversial match] and several
wrestlers came to Japan to wrestle him in famous matches. He
has a fan club, who every month receives cool Antler Goods."

Name:
Melike [From the Semitic root mlk, "king,"
and obviously "queen" when in feminine form.]
Height: 175cm
Weight: 49kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: April 20th
Country of Origin: Turkey
Likes: Hakan, Her Daughters
Dislikes: Liars
Private
Nakagawa: "She's a hugely successful
businesswoman who supports her husband. Among her many
activities, she sponsors the yağli güreş great
tournament [I guess they’re referring to the annual Kırkpınar
tournament in Edirne.] and owns a football team. Hakan
has such a soft spot for his daughters, that he always buys
them whatever they want on the spot. Melike always scolds
him for being too indulgent. He never dares to
contradict her."
Finally, we
move on to Hakan’s seven daughters: |
Name:
Hakan's daughters
Country of Origin: Turkey
Likes: Daddy and Mommy
Dislikes: Daddy’s songs
Private
Nakagawa: "Their special trait is
undoubtedly their incredibly unruly hair. It seems it’s a
bit of a sore spot for them, too…
Their
names are…
The
first: Abla ["Elder sister,"
literally. They don’t have actual Turkish names, taking
them mainly from oil-related Turkish terms. With "Abla"
they even played with the Japanese term 油
abura,
aka "oil", the Turkish "abla" being
written the same in katakana.]
128cm /
29kg / July 7th
The
second: Susam [ "Sesame"]
125cm /
25kg / October 2nd
The
third: Hurması ["Persimmon,
date"“, but incorrect as it should be simply hurma.
Hurması is the third person possessive form, so
it's actually “her persimmon/date.". The Turkish
ı (without the dot) is like the English short e
in open.]
124cm /
25kg / October 2nd
The
fourth: Tereyağı [ "Butter".
The Japanese 照れ屋
tereya
means "shy", so they played with its meaning by
having Tereyağı in her turbulent phase instead.
The Turkish ğ doesn't have a real sound,
actually lengthening the preceding vowel. So it's like it
was written "Tereyah-i." It's the remnant of an
old intervocalic g that lost its sound fairly
recently, and it’s because of this that now we pronounce
the "g" in "yogurt" (a word that came
from the Turkish yoğurmak, "to knead")
and they don’t anymore.]
121cm /
20kg / December 7th (now in her rebellious phase)
The
fifth: Kanola ["Canola"]
122cm /
21kg / December 7th
The
sixth: Zeytin ["Olive"]
122cm /
21kg / December 7th
The
seventh: Ayçiçeği ["Sunflower".
The Japanese "aichichi" can mean "Love
daddy." The Turkish ç is the English ch.]
117cm /
17kg / October 16th
"All
are blood type A. Their order is visible from the number of
blocks in their hair. They like a type of Hakan doll that
oozes oil if you squeeze it strongly."
Private Nakagawa: "They
are the daughters of Hakan and Melike. Seven sisters full of
energy and vitality. A large family that gets along pretty
well, anyway. It seems their father buys them whatever they
want." |
