Edgar Roni Figaro

It's nitpicking and doesn't affect the game in the grand scheme of things but seriously Sabin has no bonus dialogue except for "why didn't you tell us?" After the plant boss in the basement. I know Sabin is technically "missable" and Celes and Edgar are required to be the game but Square has always been good with little details when you bring certain parts members to certain situations, just seems like a missed opportunity this time around. Is there any other bouns dialogue Square could have put in?

Roni and Rene are getting old. Let's hope that doesn't get in their way.

Man, I always love these sort of character whose color scheme is pretty simple. Also, Sabin is the best between the two and no one will convince me otherwise.

This month we finish the Type-0 boys and one of them is tomorrow. Look out for his post and the remaining ones.

Maybe I’m overthinking it but after playing some Street Fighter I’ve noticed some references VI might have used or got inspired from, so let’s begin!

Edgar and Sabin

Ryu and Ken

Now those who played both games are thinking “Vivi! Edgar and Sabin are brothers, Ryu and Ken are not! What’s your point?” That’s true! But these characters have similarities. Ryu and Sabin both walk the path of wondering warriors who train in solitude and are fine with just getting by without the rich lifestyle, Both characters choose this lifestyle for different reason. Blitz and how input them is also how you input special moves in SF with Pummel being based on E honda’s 100 hand slap and Aurabolt being based the Hadoken or even a legendary move from a certain Shonen anime but that’s my opinion. Edgar and Ken are more of a wealth similarity. Both are really rich and that’s kinda it. Ken isn’t a playboy like Edgar and obviously Edgar doesn’t use Fists to fight.

Gau

Blanka

Wild Hair, Lots of Green, lives in the wild, Both don’t find their parents till later, though Gau’s was more tragic than Blanka’s. This is probably the most obvious one to me. I never got of of Gau’s moves so if he has a roll attack or an electric one than that’s another reference/Similarity to Blanka.

Celes

Cammy

this is more of physical appearances than the others. Both have Blonde hair, Green leotards (Celes has the decency to wear a cape) and are probably the most physically attractive characters in their respective games. You could say they were both used by their games evil organizations (Empire and Shadaloo) but Cammy was mind controlled by M.Bison (Sounds similar to another character in VI huh?) while Celes was more ignorant or blind to what the empire was doing (if she was mind controlled let me know I don’t believe she was)

And that raps it up! Street Fighter II was definitely on top of the world when VI released so I don’t see why these can’t be references or Inspirations! What do you think? Overthinking it? Saw these similarities also? Or maybe you learned something new! Let me know! But bonus!

Cyan

Tao from Dragon Ball (Original)

Personality wise these two have nothing common but looks wise I think they look really similar plus Terra’s transformation reminds me of another Transformation in Dragon Ball but that’s just me.
