Hi, I’m just a silly girl who loves F.A.N.G from Street Fighter. I’m more active on Twitter, but I post here just to pour my thoughts, dump my art and screenshots of my mods, and upload extracted high res images. After all, no one goes to Tumblr anymore, so I can post in peace lol.

Here’s some posts about me:

The End of World Tour Mode…a rant

Ingrid is the final character to be implemented into World Tour mode. All DLC characters afterward will be going into Avatar Arcade mode. Stories with loose ends like Falke’s whereabouts, JP’s plans for Ed and Bison, and Vega & Balrog’s interest in going back to Shadaloo won’t be fully fleshed out anymore.

Looking retrospectively, Capcom shouldn’t have put too much resources on SNK guest characters in WT mode. Also a lot of the side missions after the Bison update or starting with Elena were kind of about…nothing? Like it’s good for world building like having a device to talk to animals, but it leads to no where when it comes to story. Like a lot of the side missions is just either fighting NPCs or finding stuff, but nothing pertains to the imminent Shadaloo lore. Thinking about it, a lot of the One Fateful Days had very little influence to the main WT plot. Terry and Mai, all about Fatal Fury. Elena, nothing on Secret Society nor Shadaloo. Sagat, hates Shadaloo and wants nothing to do with it. C. Viper, looking into Shadaloo, but rather focus on her daughter, so nothing substantial comes out of it. Alex…lmao. Only Ingrid has something to do with the main WTM, but she’s there to change the course of it.

Sure, probably all of the Shadaloo story ended because of time travel. JP being hospitalized before the Nayshall tournament and Ingrid put Bison in his place.

But the point of the time travel is to save Bosch; I don’t know if JP is still going to do shady business in trying to get Ed and Bison together to do some sort of unknown plan after he recovers. That plan was stated by one of FANG’s underlings. That being said, what about FANG’s plan to revive Shadaloo? Surely that’s not gonna stop him because he’s working against JP and he thinks Bison is “imperfect” in his partial amnesiac state.

Now that WT is over, Vega who is most likely coming back for S4 and may be interested in going back to Shadaloo won’t be able to flesh out the WT story anymore. Then again, maybe because of the time travel stuff, Vega’s story might focus on his relationship with Ignacio in his arcade mode…?? I don’t know.

My copium is that when you fight your new master in Avatar Arcade Mode, they’ll at least provide 2 cinematic scenes for said character in their stage or somewhere and add some illustrations for their memories. Like, they could totally do that without putting an entire world tour mode with pointless missions, and just go straight to the meat of it instead. Thats just my thought though.

We’ll see in the future.

M. Bison’s birthday message from last year.

M. Bison’s birthday message for this year.

[remy2fang]

It’s been almost 2 weeks and people are still upset about the Alex situation…and the writers at Capcom didn’t really make things any better after their apology. As for me, I didn’t like Alex’s SF6 story direction because I much prefer him and Patricia being step brother and sister. But I’ll be honest that the story stuff didn’t affect me like it did to others because I was never invested in Alex as a character. I liked him, but it was because he’s a SF3 representative and that’s about it. Considering that he was a beloved character for almost 30 years and that he gained a lot of fans in the coming days before his official release, I knew his fans are going through a lot of turmoil.

With this fiasco, I have been thinking about my time as a F.A.N.G fan. To be honest, if something like the Alex story ever happens to F.A.N.G and A.K.I. , I would be devastated. In fact, I would HATE it. Thankfully, it didn’t go into that route. Yes, the FANG and AKI relationship is pretty weird (even though I love it) and I even dubbed it as the most bizarre dynamic in Street Fighter (now they’ve been dethroned by Alex and Patricia), but it was at least carefully written. In short, it’s all one-sided from AKI’s point of view where she has a lot of strong feelings towards FANG (like myself), while FANG sets boundaries between himself and her. FANG sees AKI as a student and a child. Also the fact that FANG has no libido means he’s not going to do anything creepy towards AKI, nor anyone for that matter. It may seem like a tragedy for FANG having no capacity for romance, but at the same time it may be a saving grace for him in that Capcom can’t ruin his character in the same way they’ve done to Alex. FANG is evil, but he is also “pure” in that regard.

I would say more about FANG and AKI’s dynamic, but it’s a lot.

Going back to Alex. Because of his story in SF6, he’s now in the midst of negative feedback and reactions. I’ve seen posts like “cousin f——-,” “Alex is a gr00m3r,” and other unsavory things. For the people who aren’t Alex fans, this is all fun and games to them. For those who are Alex fans, it’s pure pain and agony. They want the Alex “slander” to stop. In some ways I can relate to this. Before the whole Alex hullabaloo, I have been feeling down as a FANG fan for quite a while. Every time I search for FANG content online, I’d often run to some sort of negative comment or slander about my fave. It’s usually “FANG sux,” “AKI is way better,” “FANG got replaced and will never be playable again,” “AKI should leave and forget about FANG.” I’d often think to myself that it’s hard being a FANG fan in recent times, especially that he’s not playable in the current game and has yet to make a real comeback. I’d also think that FANG deserves a better fandom that embraces his qualities instead of bashing them. Thus, I somewhat stopped looking for FANG content online and just solely visiting Atgrbread, Milach3a, Testasase, Otsuyu, and other FANG appreciators’ accounts because I know I won’t see malicious content from them. People would tell me there’s better characters than FANG. Although that is true, there’s no other Street Fighter character that makes me as satisfied as with FANG.

Now with the Alex mess, I think Alex fans now feel the way I have felt with FANG (or more likely the fan reactions towards my fave)…except the magnitude and scale is much more intense for Alex. The reactions are a lot more explosive, angrier, sadder, and the mockery cuts much deeper. Being an Alex fan “probably” hurts more than being a FANG fan these days. I don’t know if I should feel relieved by that or not. But I do wish for the best for those who love Alex.

This art by _KAAD_ is so good I had to share it here! I love how it’s all the official versions of F.A.N.G, including those cute references from AKI related artworks. Also KAAD has been a FANG fangirl longer than I have. It’s great seeing content from her 💜💜

[coolhorse]

yesss .... finally the magnet redraw... perfect.

[remy2fang]

Ahh more cute BisonFANG content! And with AKI too 💜💜. Love them love them!!

[coolhorse]

[remy2fang]

It’s always nice seeing new BisonFANG art. It’s quite a rarity now in the SF6 era considering where the story is going…but it seems that FANG isn’t giving up yet 🤞🤞

Love all of these colorful artworks and character interactions 💜💜

Goggle translation

Title: 墨镜

A.K.I. "先生, the job is complete."

F.A.N.G "An hour is a little over time."

A.K.I. "Sorry."

F.A.N.G"But assassinating a senior S.I.N executive is a difficult job. Well done.

I should give you some kind of reward.

You're welcome to ask any questions. Ask me anything."

A.K.I. "Why are you wearing sunglasses?”

A.K.I's monologue: "To lull me into a false sense of security. To put me on guard. To kill. But sunglasses are unnecessary in the dark.

先生, please tell me.

You hate waste, so why do you wear sunglasses on a new moon?

What exactly is so bright about them?"

[remy2fang]

Ahh F.A.N.G wears sunglasses because Bison’s power is so bright and great. I love this idea 😵😵

[coolhorse]

aki from streets (and fang) 👍

[remy2fang]

Quantos anos voce acha que a A.k.i. tem?

“How old do you think A.K.I. is?”

I made a post about it a long time ago here, though it might be slightly outdated:

https://www.tumblr.com/remy2fang/749566260290912256/hi-im-getting-back-into-sf-after-six-years-of

Short answer: A.K.I. is probably between 20 to 23 years old. Officially it’s said that she is quite young compared to other characters in the SF6 roster. The only character she’s older than are Lily (officially 19 years old) and Ed (he’s probably younger than Lily lol).

I also made a twitter post about it some time ago:

And I remember ryo_redcyclone made an age chart, though it’s just their estimation. This was before Ed’s birthday message when he thinks he’s still only 12 or 13 years old…Japan SF6 twitter had a meltdown when they saw that message lol.

Now people might be confused about Chun-Li’s age in that chart. I’ll keep this short, the lore setting between SF2 to SF6 is about 13 to 15 years apart. And yes, even director Nakayama confirmed that Chun-Li, Juri Han, and Mai Shiranui are close in age.

I don’t have an exact age for AKI, but those are the estimates based on official word from Capcom devs and from those who really invests in Street Fighter lore (ryo_redcyclone is the most invested imo).

F.A.N.G in SFV Character Story Mode: “Predator and Prey”

“Predator and Prey” SF6 Edition

I had to 💜😂💜😂

Happy birthday FANG! 💜🎉🎂🥳🎈🎊💜

//I had the bright idea of running my rp blog through ChatGPT to see how my F.A.N.G compared to Canon!F.A.N.G

[remy2fang]

As someone who’s been a long time fan of F.A.N.G, I’d say RP FANG is closer to actual canon FANG than ChatGPT’s generalization of him. “Toxicity” shows that FANG is a strong, serious, smart, dangerous, and capable leader of the criminal underworld before joining Shadaloo. The story also explained how FANG became ruthless due to his harsh upbringing and tragic event with his brothers. And we do see FANG’s “emotional” complexity in SF6: from his somber response to the Avatar about Bison forgetting about him, his cooperative nature towards the Avatar, to his reactions to cute animal photos. Also, FANG has a surprisingly encouraging side to him that’s shown in both SF6 and on the official Japanese SFV website.

Also to note, dev comments stated that FANG’s goofy personality was an act. Director Takayuki Nakayama also said that FANG is actually physically strong even without his poison. And of course FANG is a genius—Bison put him to lead the Research and Development sector and was in charge of Operation C.H.A.I.N.S. in SFV.

Yes, FANG is also cartoonishly funny, weird, and dramatic, but he is everything what RP FANG is too, and it has been proven through in-game lore and official sources. Canon FANG is actually a multifaceted character!

Dontunderestimatemypoison did great!

SFV to SF6. Art by me.

[remy2fang]

It’s not much, but three of these fanart of mine were reposted by the official Street Fighter Twitter account in the past. Those were happy moments ☺️☺️

Links to the art so you can see the reposts:

A.K.I. and Manon

Chun-Li

A.K.I. and F.A.N.G

Also….the official Japanese Street Fighter Twitter account hit the “Like” button on another art of mine:

I drew this at the time before AKI’s release, so I didn’t know FANG would have a new sexy glowup lol. If Vega comes back playable in SF6, I’d like to know what he and AKI would say to each other!

F.A.N.G in Future Street Fighter 6 Updates

F.A.N.G has a total of 26 voice lines in SF6, not including the ones from his illustrated cutscene.

* 9 were used when he appeared in the A.K.I. update. * 1 was added for the M. Bison update. ("Oh my days!")

These are the audio clips that were used in the game thus far:

ENGLISH VERSION

Visit Original Link

JAPANESE VERSION

Visit Original Link

FANG has 16 unused audio files that may come up in the future. At the rate it’s going, we may see stories involving npc FANG Fei in a span of several updates, perhaps until the end of the game's lifespan.

The videos below have all 26 voice lines, both in English and Japanese. Skip to 0:39 to listen to them.

I'll say that the unused audio files sounded more interesting than the ones that have been used in the AKI and Bison updates. That could mean that the story will become more exciting. I don't know the context of those audio clips, but I have been intrigued by them since I dug them up back in October 2023. I am anxious on what would happen, but at the same time looking forward to what may come in these future SF6 stories.

助けて〜！

[remy2fang]

I have been following otsuyu-san’s twitter for some time now because their F.A.N.G posts give me such immense joy. Their love for FANG is incredible and I always welcome FANG positivity. They write how much they love him, make cute art, and have such wonderful fanfic ideas.

I also love how they refer to each character with emojis. It’s so creative. This is what I have seen:

F.A.N.G : 先生, 🐍

M. Bison (Vega, Dictator) : 🟥, ☠️

Rashid : 🌪️

Ed : 🥊

A.K.I. : 🍂 , アキ

Vega (Balrog, Claw) : 🎭

Balrog (M. Bison, Boxer) : 🦬

Sagat : 🐯

JP : 🪄

Also, otsuyu has been discovering old FANG, BisonFANG ( ベガファン ), and FangRashid art from the SFV era and I can see their excitement. They even love art by @dragon-64 , @fedorasaurus , @hideaki-h , @alakazam02 (also @fangsan-theater ), Tsaii, Toppuu1, Tomoaki_ORAS, GN_Dynames (kuze) and so many others. New FANG stans finding good art from the past makes me so happy. Brought so many good memories of when I first became a FANG girl and saw these same fanart that inspired me back in summer 2019. Including the artists I have listed above, there’s also @minareee3 (Twitter), @ferriboat (formerly Fumettosa), @voxsound (Twitter), KAAD, @oxalisvsf , @soup-pp (La Supay), and NoeruParisu.

Also, I’m thankful that many of these past FANG art still are around. Throughout the years a lot of FANG art disappear off from the Internet due to artists deactivating their own accounts or put them on private (it’s their right to do so). Because there are some content that’s still around, new fans are able to be enjoy these past treasures. Also, finding these types of content could help new fans find solidarity that they are not alone in liking a highly underrated character like FANG. I think it’s an important thing that such content are still in existence and are available to be found.

Seeing otsuyu’s excitement for FANG made me feel nostalgic. Back in those days there were a number of FANG mains and stans that talk about their love for him and would post about creative scenarios. It’s one of those things I realized that I’ve taken for granted because back then there were so much fan content of FANG. Nowadays it’s quite rare because FANG is currently not playable in SF6. I’m now grateful in seeing scenario posts or just simple FANG positivity by otsuyu, Atgrbread, Testasase, milach3a, @zararosev , @aro-lover, @sang8262 , @pintheflamingo, @dontunderestimatemypoison, @elecman108 and a few others 💜💜
