From a regular salaryman to a legendary hero who trades blows with the best of them - Skullomania's official CFN profile has finally arrived

The Capcom Fighters Network profiles have taken a somewhat surprising turn the last few days, delving into Street Fighter EX characters.


These characters have long been considered off-limits to Street Fighter fans, considering the games were developed by Arika, and although each profile has a "Copyright Arika" mark at the bottom, these characters are still being introduced, and some even contain references to Street Fighter 5's story and current happenings.

Whether Capcom and Arika have reached some sort of deal or not, it's quite exciting to see. Based on internet comments, this is the shining star of the EX series - Skullomania! Check out his image here.

Profile


Behind the mask, he's a regular salaryman named Saburo Nishikoyama who doesn't stand out at all.

At a department store he frequents, he is unwillingly drawn into playing the part at a hero show, and suddenly gets a lot of attention.

At that moment, he felt an indefinable heat within himself, and awakened to his true potential.

With his strong conviction to protect the world, and his passionate heart, he manages to fight evenly against first-rate fighters from across the world.

... Let's be honest, he's TOTALLY a weirdo, right?

Again, comments from Mr. Nin!

Nin's Comments


He was born from a desire of "I want someone with a skeletal design!"

But I seem to recall him being covered in full-body rubber tights and named "Rubberman" in our initial drafts... ?

All translations in this story were made by me, Nicholas "MajinTenshinhan" Taylor.
