Ridiculous reasons Street Fighter X Tekken characters travel to find Pandora Box

The Street Fighter X Tekken Japanese website has updated with bios for all of the revealed characters to date. It explains their reasoning for going to the Antarctic to find the Pandora Box.

Some of these, like Hugo and Poison, have extremely ridiculous reasons to explain why they're traveling.

Hit the jump to check out the bio's.

Street Fighter cast

Abel

A young man that was created and destined to become a replacement body for M. Bison. He was discarded as a faulty product, but managed to survive. In order to find out the truth about his past, he pursues Shadaloo. After learning that Shadaloo is after a mysterious box that crash-landed into Antarctica, he partners with Guile to infiltrate the frozen continent.

Balrog

With frightening punching power, Balrog pounds his opponents until they are no longer able to stand up. A top level member of Shadaloo, he is a belligerent man with a vicious mean streak, and is obsessed with money. He has a real hatred for his fellow Shadaloo member, Vega, and the feeling is most certainly mutual. However, under orders from M. Bison to retrieve Pandora, him and Vega travel to Antarctica.

Cammy

A young woman who belongs to the Delta Red team in the Secret Intelligence Services' Special Forces Unit. She was formerly one of M. Bison's brainwashed soldiers, but has since reverted to her former self and now works closely with her comrades. She speaks with level-headed attitude, but due to her comrades she can come off as a tomboy at times. When Chun-Li requests her help, the two begin their investigation of both Shadaloo and the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Chun-Li

An Interpol detective that continues to track Shadaloo in order to learn the truth about her father's whereabouts. She has closed many an investigation with her dangerous kicks. While she stands firm against the forces of evil, she is also a cheerful and stunningly attractive woman. She is currently investigating the movements of both Shadaloo and the Mishima Zaibatsu as they begin their search for Pandora.

Dhalsim

An Indian priest who is a master of yoga. His ability to stretch both his arms and legs and to spew fire from his mouth are all a result of his miraculous yoga powers. Although he is hesitant to harm his opponents, he continues to fight for himself and his family. In order to investigate the whereabouts of the missing children, Dhalsim heads to Antarctica.

Guile

A military man who specializes in hand-to-hand combat. In the past, he had a countless number of encounters in the battlefield, and understands that war requires callousness. While he is not one to talk much, he has a strong sense of justice. Guile receives orders from his superiors to travel to Antarctica in order to secretly investigate a mysterious that box that landed there.

Hugo

Hugo was a member of the Mad Gear syndicate, but after its collapse, he turned towards the squared circle and used his massive size and power to become a pro wrestler. Since then he has used his unparalleled strength and wrestling techniques to annihilate a great number of opponents. Hugo is a freakishly strong character, but also has a tender side to him. He is also a little bit on the slow side. In order to capture the attention of the media gathered in the Antarctic, Hugo travels with Poison to the South Pole.

Ibuki

Trained from infancy to become a ninja. Although she carries out her duties, in reality she dreams of living a normal, high school girl life. She has a fascination with pop idols, but when she is tasked with a responsibility, she is always reliable. Ibuki is forced to accept Rolento's mission request by her village leaders, and the two of them head for the South Pole.

Juri

A cruel female fighter who finds pleasure in destruction and the suffering of others. The powerful Feng Shui engine was implanted into one of her eyes by M. Bison, giving her incredible strength.

Ken

Trained with Ryu under the tutelage of Gouken, and has since become eternal rivals with his good friend. He is the heir to the Masters Corporation. He is by nature a cheerful and positive person in contrast to Ryu's stoicism, but he is also able to concentrate on the task at hand. Worried about the dangerous road his friend Ryu is taking, he joins him in his journey.

Poison

A former member of the Mad Gear crime syndicate. She is constantly at odds with her partner Hugo, although the two seem to get along just fine regardless. This finely curved woman doesn't always look this good. Poison heads for Antarctica to meet up with the media who have gathered there, in order to show off her assets.

Rolento

A former high-ranking officer in the Mad Gear gang, Rolento was an expert in hand-to-hand combat, explosives, small arms and of course, bojutsu. Now he focuses on creating an "ideal nation" where everyone is a soldier day in and out. After learning about a mysterious box from a subordinate, Rolento seeks to secure and destroy the box to show the world that his army is a force to be reckoned with.

Rufus

An American fighter who toys with his opponents with a body that moves with unimaginable speed. He is so infatuated with himself that he even ignores his opponents during a match while heaping nothing but praise on himself. He views Ken Masters as his bitter rival, but constantly mistakes anyone wearing a karate gi or sporting blonde hair as Ken, and often gets into unnecessary fights. Zangief contacts Rufus and the two of them decide to secure the mysterious "box" for themselves.

Ryu

A wandering street fighter who trains rigorously in order to become a true martial artist. Studied the art of Ansatsuken from his master Gouken, but does not wield it to take lives. He wishes to test his mettle against fighters around the world in order to find an answer in the heart of battle. He searches for Pandora to see if there is a connection between it and the Satsui no Hado.

Sagat

To prepare himself for his inevitable rematch against Ryu, the king of Muay Thai retreated to a secluded mountain village for training. His chest bares the scar left by Ryu's Shoryuken, and serves as a reminder to him of their fight. He cares not for victory or defeat; he merely wishes to clash against fighters of great strength. In order to locate a missing young girl, Sagat agrees to go with Dhalsim and heads to Antarctica.

Vega

As a top level Shadaloo member, Vega is a maniacal sadist who enjoys tormenting his victims. He is obsessed with the idea of beauty and fights to rid the world of everything he deems ugly. Vega hides his face behind a mask, and with grace he soars through the air and takes down his opponents with style. He is often called the Spanish Ninja. Under orders from M. Bison, Vega and Balrog head to Antarctica to retrieve Pandora.

Zangief

A hero of Russia who is aptly named the Red Cyclone. His love for his country outstrips anyone else, and to show the world the strength of his motherland, he fights day in and day out. He is a man with a finely honed body of muscle and power, and the countless scars on his body is proof of his training. As proof of his loyalty to his motherland, Zangief seeks to acquire the box.

Tekken cast

Asuka

An Osaka-born girl who loves to stick her nose into other people's affairs, especially when it comes to fighting. Whenever she spots some roughhousing going on, she immediately enters the fray as a mediator without much thought. She has been taught the Kazama-style of martial arts, meaning she is no ordinary fighter. Asuka has a cheerful personality and gets along well with the locals. Her rival Lili has requested her assistance, so the two travel to the South Pole.

Bob

A man renowned as a bounty hunter who developed his body to immense proportions in order to fight larger opponents. While others vehemently disagree, Bob believes that he now has the "perfect body". He is extremely smug, and is stoic in the face of adversity. Julia, worried that the box may be used for evil purposes, hires Bob to travel with her to the South Pole.

Heihachi

The man known as the King of Iron Fist, a formidable figure whose incredible strength betrays his age. He is usually a callous and heartless individual, but from time to time shows a softer side. He is currently fighting his son Kazuya and his grandson Jin for control of the Mishima Zaibatsu. After discovering that both Jin and Kazuya have begun to search for Pandora, Heihachi begins his own journey to exterminate the two in order to reclaim the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Hwoarang

A young man who usually fights with a cool composure, but in reality is a hot-blooded man looking for a good fight. In the past, he was prone to hustling people into street fights, but under the guidance of Baek, he is now fully devoted to his training. Hwoarang enters a mixed martial arts tournament as per Baek's request, but the tournament ground is reduced to rubble as a war erupts over Pandora. The fired-up Hwoarang forms a temporary alliance with Steve to exact revenge on their attackers.

Julia

As a young child, Julia discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization. Now, this nature-loving woman fights for what she believes in with Chinese Kempo. A beautiful, intelligent woman, Julia always approaches every situation with careful judgment. To prevent Pandora's unknown power from falling into the wrong hands, Julia teams up with Bob and travels to the Antarctic.

Kazuya

A cold-blooded killer who has awakened the power of the devil. Supporting the G corporation from behind the scenes, he works in secret to reacquire the Mishima Zaibatsu. An arrogant and brutal man, he has fought countless times against his father, Heihachi, and his son, Jin. Kazuya seeks to use Pandora to strengthen the devil power within him so that he can wrestle control of the Mishima Zaibatsu away from Jin.

King

A pro wrestler who wears a Jaguar mask to the ring. He swore revenge against Armor King's killer, Marduk, but eventually reconciled with his monstrous adversary. He is a silent and serious fighter. King obtains information that a man fitting the description of Armor King has boarded a ship bound for the Antarctic, so him and Marduk begin their trek despite some uncertainty.

Kuma

A ferocious bear who uses a variation of the Heihachi Mishima style of karate. He is more than a mere pet to Heihachi, and stands as sort of a partner with him. When Jin was in control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Kuma rescued the company in Heihachi's stead. He has also sat on the Mishima Zaibatsu's board of directors but lost control of the leadership to Jin. Filled with the desire for revenge, he reunites with his master Heihachi and heads to the Antarctic.

Law

Law is a martial arts master, and the long-time sparring partner of Paul Phoenix. Due to his Chinese restaurant business failing as well as his son's accident, Law is desperately searching for a way to make some money. Law learns of Pandora via a news program, and smelling the scent of money, he decides to travel to the South Pole with Paul.

Lili

The daughter of a world-famous oil czar. She has a haughty, arrogant attitude but also has a penchant for fighting, and thus when she finds the time she engages in street fights. She suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of Asuka Kazama in a tournament, and since then Lili has viewed her as a rival. For the sake of her father, she teams up with Asuka to retrieve the mysterious box located in the Antarctic.

Marduk

An overwhelmingly powerful fighter that uses Vale Tudo. Despite being at odds with King over the death of Armor King, the two eventually found friendship in the midst of their conflict. After receiving information that an Armor King look-a-like has boarded a ship bound for the Antarctic, Marduk also begins his journey to the South Pole.

Nina

A professional assassin, who works without choosing her clientele. She is a cool-headed and callous individual who does not let anyone get in the way of her job. In the past, she failed to assassinate Kazuya Mishima. Rather, she suddenly appeared before Kazuya and began to work with him in order to secure the mysterious box.

Paul

A hot-tempered fighter who aims to be the toughest fighter in the universe. He is Law's eternal sparring partner. He has suffered a countless number of defeats in battle, but refuses to give up. Instead he takes on these challenges head-on. He is currently mired in a mountain of debt, but after hearing news of a mysterious box in the Antarctic, him and Law head off to obtain it and the potential riches it would reward them with.

Raven

Dispatched by an unknown corporation, the agent known as Raven tracks his targets from the darkness and erases them. He uses a unknown derivation of classic ninjitsu. Regardless of his mission's difficulty, Raven can always be relied on to carry out his duty. He does not recognize Yoshimitsu as a true ninja such as himself. Due to a request the two travel to Antarctica, but only under the condition that things are done Raven's way.

Steve

A cool, handsome boxer who is currently the reigning middleweight champion of the world. He is a serious and strong-hearted character who hates when others meddle in his matches. His match against Hwoarang was stopped as the Mishima Zaibatsu and Shadaloo reduced the tournament grounds to a wasteland with their fighting. Steve decides to team up with Hwoarang to get revenge on both companies for interfering with their fight.

Xiaoyu

Xiaoyu is a brilliant Chinese Kempo fighter who uses Hakkesho and Hikasho as the base of her fighting style.

Yoshimitsu

As the mysterious head of the Manji clan, Yoshimitsu steals from evil companies and spreads their wealth to the poor. Although he has a serious temperament, he also shows flashes of stupidity. Believing that his demonic sword is resonating with the large mass of fighters who are searching for Pandora in the Antarctic, Yoshimitsu travels with Raven in order to quell his sword's cries.

Now when i think of Abel I see him wearing Bison's costume

That was my mixup, but it's all fixed now.

Doing something ridiculous like creating a story for a fighting game is bound to yield ridiculous results

@#2 Simba_v7:
SFilp fixed it, he made an error when posting.

Extreme lol for Kuma's backstory.

wait what? Juri Feng Shui engine was implanted by seth not bison D: i am wrong?

osf said on January 22, 2012 at 3:54 p.m.

Paul hasn't suffered a countless number of defeats, if aanything he's far more competent then most of the Tekken cast.

shadow_shogun said on January 22, 2012 at 3:56 p.m.

@#8 I'm also confused myself, I could've sworn it was implanted in the S.I.N labs which was being run by Seth and not Bison.

NotGoodAtStreetFighter95 said on January 22, 2012 at 3:57 p.m.

Well hopefully the gameplay is good, cause God knows story mode isn't this game's strongest asset.

"show off her assets"

Say what?

genocideSX said on January 22, 2012 at 4:04 p.m.

@8 and #10

uhh....mabe after bison beats seth...or in vise versa, bison sees juri as an intresting aset and makes the tech. for juri under a few condition, and juri being well juri sees this as fun and goes with it and works for bison the same way she did with seth, hinting that bison and juri might be teaming up for sf x tk......or mabe im over thinking it and its a typo like the poison and ken thing earlier :P lol other than that im just as confused :/

i wonder if hugo knows poison is really "packing"

#16

TrapcomLovesKayo said on January 22, 2012 at 4:08 p.m.

I rather have the story be based on the Satui no Hadou and Devil Gene rather than pandora or at least have pandora not make you look like a charactor from tron but instead have them glow like in x factor but in a dark aura and some charactors like Ryu turn to evil Ryu and Jin turn to devil Jin

#17

Rampage_23 said on January 22, 2012 at 4:09 p.m.

Poison: This finely curved WOMAN. Poison is a woman confirmed

Seems like Guile and Chun-Li and Cammy and Abel should be paired instead.

#20

RHayabusa said on January 22, 2012 at 4:16 p.m.

Wait what? So they've actually covered Abel's story all of a sudden? Wasn't it a mystery as to why he was there in SSIV?

I have a novel idea, its a fighting tournament and they gather to see who is the strongest in the world.

@20 I agree that would a been smarter but they want that sf girls team vs tk girls team because lets be honest if that leak list is real sakura and karin will not be it and they already had trailers for chun/cammy vs asuka/lilly match up

#23

DarkPhoenixRises said on January 22, 2012 at 4:26 p.m.

@8 and @10 I believe your right...

It was something along the lines of Shadaloo killed her parents and damaged her eye and S.I.N replaced it with the Feng Shui...

So with them all of a sudden saying that can we expect Juri as Bison's partner?

#24

deice said on January 22, 2012 at 4:29 p.m.

The Juri story is a mistranslation on their part: The original japanese version says she lost her eye to M.Bison (dictator) and it was replaced with Feng Shui Engine (not saying by who).

#25

ButterKnife said on January 22, 2012 at 4:31 p.m.

Ugh. Dhalsim has one of those "missing children" plots that are never explained. It's just like "Oh, you know. He's looking for the missing children."

...WHAT CHILDREN?!?

It's just like Chun-li's SF3 plot. You know nothing about her until she fights Urien and then she's like "Give back the girl." I hate that stuff.

#26

decepticon2304 said on January 22, 2012 at 4:32 p.m.

"After discovering that both Jin and Kazuya have begun to search for Pandora" hmmm does this confirm jin? maybe

Ok thanks #25, thats exactly the way it is presented in SF4

"Finely curved woman." Japan said it, therefore it's law. #Kappa.

Rolento have the same dream as Big Boss.

#31

deice said on January 22, 2012 at 4:41 p.m.

The poison story is also kinda bad translation, they don't directly call her a woman in the japanese version. They use words with meanings like "feminine spirit", "different woman" (different is a kanji that can be read "altered" "changed" also).

I guess the english version on their website is translated by someone with no knowledge of the SF story.

#32

gtfopanda said on January 22, 2012 at 4:42 p.m.

@ #18

Like you needed confirmation for that.

Pretty much everybody knows of the whole mess they made because of some puritans, and some rabid phags sure won't turn her into a male.

Not all star stories, but didn't seem that ridiculous.

#35

AlphaFox said on January 22, 2012 at 4:56 p.m.

I guess its safe to assume that the other stage is in antartica...with the pandora box in the background.

#36

diddysinatra said on January 22, 2012 at 4:56 p.m.

Gouken Confirmed? The only other SF character not on this list that was mentioned in a story was Bison, and we all know he's in the game. So I'm taking Gouken's mention as a hint to his inclusion. Along with that, the investigation of Satsui No Hado confirms Akuma's inclusion as well. I'm also taking the fact that Juri's eye implant was attributed to Bison instead of Seth disconfirms Seth /statements to be taken with grain of salt

#37

KiddDaBeauty said on January 22, 2012 at 4:57 p.m.

"Woman" does not mean she is not a "transwoman." This isn't Capcom censoring Poison's past, people.

#38

Jookey said on January 22, 2012 at 5 p.m.

Ono said he'd reveal another level in Feb. I wonder if this will be in Antarctica? Maybe it'll be the boss stage as well.

#39

Jookey said on January 22, 2012 at 5:01 p.m.

Yeah what #36 said :P

#40

rlt4life said on January 22, 2012 at 5:04 p.m.

The only really ridiculous stories I can really see are Paul/Law's, Hugo/Poison's, and Zangief/Rufus's.

Everyone else's seems pretty fitting.

#41

StellarSTLR said on January 22, 2012 at 5:04 p.m.

Today we will be teaching the newcomers every street fighter and tekken characters history.

But we will mask that fact by adding the word Antarctica in the last sentence so to make it tie into our new product, street fighter x tekken.

#42

shin_ono said on January 22, 2012 at 5:11 p.m.

"He has also sat on the Mishima Zaibatsu's board of directors but lost control of the leadership to Jin"

A bear that is on a board of directors.. now iv heard everything 8-/

superray21 said on January 22, 2012 at 5:16 p.m.

I thought Seth (or someone from S.I.N.) had put the feng shui engine in Juri's eye.

#44

Meety said on January 22, 2012 at 5:18 p.m.

Nothing really much to say about the storyline but only some fill-ins for the characters that was in SF4. Capcom still lacks the story modes. Oh well, what matters about the game is the mechanics, I careless about the story in this game. TxSF might do better with stories.

#45

Combo_Knight said on January 22, 2012 at 5:20 p.m.

I know that crosss-overs storylines are never canon / taken serious but cammy is a originaly a replacement body for bison, and not abel.Chunli isnt looking for her father, she knows cammy killed him while working for bison/dictator. but again, fighting games stories/backgrounds never make sense or care anyway

The only ones I see to not make much sense are Hugo/Poison and Sagat/Dhalsim.

I do get that Sagat is eager to help Dhalsim, but how in the hell did a kid from India could possibly end up in the South Pole?

I can't picture a big audience waiting for Hugo and Poison at the Antarctic.

King didn't forgive Marduk, it's a different guy that teams up with Marduk who happens to be wearing the same mask as king. Get it right Capcom, the first King and Armour King were friends but not so much King and Armour King no.2

Guys wouldnt this be a good team. "Gouken x Dan". Wasnt dan the first student of gouken in the first place but Gouken let him go due to the act of revenge Dan wanted against Sagat for his father's murder? Or "Dan Hibiki x Gou Hibiki" Father and Son once again reunited for a crossover. Son I need to deff get paid for these smexy ideas lol

Humm the Poison's dubious Gender war continues...
Akiman says it's a dude.

Ono, Seth and Christian leave it to speculation and opt to not reveal the facts on this fictional character...

Firegod said on January 22, 2012 at 7:08 p.m.

@#59
There was never suppose to be a gender war in the first place...she was originally a waoman, capcom didnt want to change the sprites, but at the same time knew that americans were sensitive to a woman getting beatin up and killed so they changed it for AMERICA

i dont care what anyone says...its a woman

capcom just needs to create a real transgender character and get it over with instead of haveing poison float in this void.

people dont realize that as long as they dont accept poisons past, they are allowing capcom to be lazy and not create a real transgender

LOL

They aren't able to come up with anything interesting. They might as well not even bother with the campaign.

i completely agree. Street Fighter kinda always sucked with their story layout. they could learn from the Mortal Kombat team in that department.

The game isn't canon and Seth isn't in it...so I think they are making Bison as the one who gave her her eye in this game. Xiayou and Juri will get more story once Bison and Jin are formerly announced. Also Chun-li and Cammy have teamed up in several trailers and were a team in Namco x Capcom. While Guile would make a good teammate for Chun, Cammy works as well.

What? Paul lost countless times?

He beat fricking Ogre in Tekken 3 (watch his Tekken 4 prologue)

Does that somehow contradict? lol

Well atleast this game will have animated openings and endings right? UMVC 3's were just complete garbage.

Guile

A military man who specializes in hand-to-hand combat.

hand-to-hand combat.

sim is less keepaway than guile...

It basically is revolving around those as Kazuya wants to use Pandora to strengthen DG his and Ryu wants to find a connection to the Dark Hadou. However having a storyline only revolving around those would give 85% of the rest of the cast nothing to do as only a few memebers have acess to either.

@musacc
he's less keepaway then a guy with a soldier with an M16

It doesn't contradict to us, but remember how Japan is some 30 years behind us feminism-wise. Look at Cammy's description and how she is called a "tomboy" too, for instance. I don't think anyone in the west would call a woman like her "tomboy" considering she's not masculine at all by our standards. But basically, having some spunk is being masculine by Japanese standards.

Did this sound racist? X_X

@61 if you don't care what anyone says why bother bringing up the character's history?

Also if you're that intuned to her original Japanese story I assume you refer to M. bison as Vega and Akuma as Gouki?

#83

lorcatomic said on January 23, 2012 at 5:15 a.m.

maybe this game is placed before ssfiv. That will explain all of those weird things whit bison/juri/seth/ feng shui sidestory or maybe, why all the cast can perform supers and ultras, or something else

#84

KiddDaBeauty said on January 23, 2012 at 5:17 a.m.

Wouldn't explain a thing. It's very obvious from the ssf4 OVA how Juri got her eye. There is no room for questions.

Necreon said on January 23, 2012 at 7:22 a.m.

Finally somebody described Vega the way people always should've think about him. Most people says for the fist time watching him: he is gay. And I'm like: "WTF?! FIRE, DIE IN ONE".

#88

Kenshiro said on January 23, 2012 at 7:23 a.m.

@86 Hwoarang has a fierce rivalry with Jin. Meaning he does not enjoy his company.

with Steve it seems as though he's willing to put their differences aside.

Smorgasboard said on January 23, 2012 at 7:59 a.m.

Actually, there is no canon story for SF and I doubt Capcom has any plans to make up. They're obviously making it up as they go along so I won't rely too much on history.

Also, why can't Heihachi Mishima die?

Celticlord said on January 23, 2012 at 8:05 a.m.

An Armour king look-alike ? could it be that Twelve is in SFxTekken and morphed into Armour King ? I can't think of any other street fighter character that could look like Armour King

El fuerte maybe?
I that was my first thought when I saw this stories a while back (they have been in the Japanese site forever, and they just add new ones when new characters are announced)

#93

Hotdiddykong said on January 23, 2012 at 8:58 a.m.

Heh, it seems the characters are paired to their partners storywise aswell.

@Nukka
MVC3/UMVC3's Major story is that the villains of both worlds are working together and had gotten the Heroes to fight each other, but Galactus finds a disturbance in its mixup and decides to end it all before something happens, making everyone work together.

The endings's major purpose was to show what happens to the one who defeated galactus, which are mostly Cameoing characters who arnt in the game. What are they gonna do, make each ending animated with Voice actors everywhere? They'll ruin most characters who arnt playable with it.

@82 "Tomboy" is a woman who acts very little like a girl. Does'nt do girlish things in other words. Her muscular build really has nothing to do with that. She's someone that would most likley hang out with the guys and ahve a bear than have a nice romantic dinner.

The problem I have is we never really have had a chance to see Cammy do "tomboyish" things so just calling her a tomboy is kind of forgetable because we never see it anyways.

jimk23 said on January 23, 2012 at 10:10 a.m.

@94
Yeah, but the endings are horrible, at least the marvel side are.
In the Capcom side there are a lot of cameos, but in the marvel side almost no one, just interactions with other marvel chaacters. At least in vanilla,I didn't bought umvc3

with the rumor on dudley and elena being partners what possible reason would they have to go to antartica? and how do these two even get together?

#98

anon1010 said on January 23, 2012 at 4:05 p.m.

Flippin' BS. Paul is one of the best fighters in the Tekken universe if not already THE best. Capcom if you're gonna do a crossover at least TRY to care about the team you're doing a crossover with.

#99

Darkyellow said on January 23, 2012 at 4:24 p.m.

Law's story is actually the exact same story he had in Tekken 5. Also, I am really upset that Paul's story is not about him trying to find out if Pandora is related to aliens so he can Phoenix Smasher/Death Fist them back to Outer Space.

Dudley/Elena Story:

Dudley's Father's got stolen (again) and it is magically in Antarctica. Elena goes to Antarctica to make friends with penguins and to find out if Sasquatch from Darkstalkers is real.
