Street Fighter EX2 Plus plot guide ver. 1.0

==Disclaimer==
Street Fighter EX2 Plus and all related characters and products are copyrights 1999 Capcom/Arika. The content of this file is for public domain and not for personal profit.

==Introduction==
This is my translations of the official character profiles and endings. Like my Street Fighter EX2 plot guide, the character profiles are taken from Capcom and Arika's official sites (there's no difference between them though), while the endings are translated from transcriptions featured in the book All About Capcom Head-to-Head Fighting Game, which are actually taken from the Japanese version of the game itself. Like the previous Street Fighter EX games (including the original EX2), the English version of EX2 Plus did not feature the endings from the Japanese version. Instead, Arika went cheap and gives the player a generic "Thank you very much for your playing!!", which is to be honest, isn't really that much of a genuine gratitude.

If the character profiles seem weird, that's because they're written in a rather psudeo poetic manner and the endings are also written in a similar matter. They probably make more sense in their original Japanese than they do in my English translations.

===Ryu===
Ryu passed under the moonlight.
He raised his fist to the sky.
"What am I trying to grasp?"
The wind flows.
He searches within himself until an answer is found.

===Ken===
"The Winner is Ken Masters!"
The hall was overflowing with the voice of rejoice.
Ken approaches his opponent and smiles.
"Well played! But I can't help but smile"

===Chun-Li===
"There doesn't seem to be any clues..."
Chun-Li was overcomed by a light feeling of exhaustion.
Her hair was untied, her head shaking left and right.
The shadow of Chun-Li changed to long black hair.
"...Father..."

===Guile===
"Because of my friend, I am now fit to protect my family."
The training of the recruits was extremely fierce.
"Sir!" said the recruits.
Guile quietly mutttered in his mind.
"Vengeance...it is an act of emptiness."

===Doctrine Dark===
"Who am I...What am I becoming..."
This thoughts continued in his mind,
rejecting the emotional world,
every day is a mind-tearing conflict.
Does it seem the light of passed days will not return?

===Skullomania===
"Ha ha ha, the hero is I!
Or rather I am the hero! Which
is cooler? Hmm!"
The hero could not compromise,
not even on a single victory quote.

===Hokuto===
"It is my duty...to kill you."
The brother and sister glanced at each other
thoughtlessly, with nothing that could
bring a smile to them... Forever..

===Zangief===
Comrade Zangief!
I heard about your recent activities.
Amazing! Truly amazing!
The greatest borsch will be prepared.
    From a dear friend.

===Blanka===
Peace returned to the jungle.
It was already enough for Jimmy.
The motherly jungle... was not neccesarily
less important than his true mother.


===Vega===
Vega was deprived from using the new
experimental drug "SH-11" on himself.
Trading away his great beauty and strength or
"ultimate beauty", his mind and pride were
distorted in uglyness.

===Dhalsim===
"What things on this world are real?"
The recurring evil was vanquished.
By himself... can he really assert
virtue?
"I will choose...the path I believed in"

===Cracker Jack===
Right now, Jack was extremely worried
about a pursuer from an organization.
"I need to hide somewhere for a while..."
While murmuring, the flashing neon
were vanishing.

===Sharon===
"The fight was finished for now." With countless
of veterans lying at the end of the scene, Sharon
paused. "I can't go back...I have reached the point
of no return."

===Nanase===
"Brother, Sister, Stop it!"
At the moment Nanase yelled,
Kairi pulled his fist.
They were still brother and sister,
even if they were seperated

===Area===
"I'm home" She was greeted by a
ringing telephone from within the store.
Area picked up the nearby receiver.
"The complete 'Khanser'? Alright,
thank you for your purchase."

===Vulcano Rosso===
Despite the fact he committed insubordination,
Rosso accomplished his revenge. However, he
was still greatly depressed over the lost of his
beloved. His mind was now sleeping in an ocean
without light.

===Sagat===
These same words were always resouding in his mind...
"Anyone who is strong must be defeated!"
He continues to be motivated by this belief.
A person like this is a true Emperor.

===M. Bison===
"Ha ha ha ha! I've found a worthy specimen"
"With Psycho Power and SH-11,
a new power will be created... Huh huh,
The birth of Neo Shadaloo!"

===Pullum Purna===
Her curious pursuit was a trip without end.
Pullum forgot about the original purpose
of the trip and mingled with the tourists.
"Darun! I finally decided on our next destination
We're going to see space."

===Darun Mister===
Darun obtained the opportunity to fight
against the veterans of the world again.
He knows he will flourish in the future
as a result of this trip. For as long as the Princess
lives, Darun will be really busy.

===Shadowgeist===
"I fight to win" said Shadow as he vanished into the dark.
Several days later...  A shadow appeared along with the moonlight
at the back of the organization's building, shouting a loud cry.
"Ha ha ha, I''m invincible!"

===Garuda===
The demon who manipulates negativity.
The demon whose form changes depending on who sees him.
The demon who wanders through all eternity.

===Kairi===
Kairi laughs with both hands dyed red.
Hokuto's mind, body and soul, were torn.
Anxious over the soul of the brother who never returned,
Hokuto's pupils are quietly shut.

===M. Bison II===
Note: Bison II is a CPU-only character. This ending only occurs if the player loses against him.

A new world was born.
A world filled with fear
despair, and tyanny.

===Hayate===
Hayate's body was trembling with memories
of his father when he was young and a chilly
wind. "If I can't do it..." With this words said,
Hayate disappeared into the darkness.
