I'm sorry this is taking so long, the past week I have been basically sick with...something.
But now in a self-induced haze of tylenol and dayquil, let's keep moving.
Heihachi and Cammy are moving on, by the way. I think I counted that right...
So it has been a long journey, one that sadly I think went on for too long because of illness and lack of interest due to the changes I attempted to implement. Ah well, live and learn I guess. Can't begrudge trying new things.
But, we have four finalists now. Let's meet them, shall we?
The Ying to Ryu's Yang, Ken Masters has finally broken out of his friend and rivals shadow in making his first ever final four appearance. The beguiling street fighter is looking to cement his own legacy, one that the first ever FCB champion did seven years ago in this very tournament. But can he defeat the very person Ryu overcame in the final round that year? Can he overcome the sensual Kasumi?
The sexy vixen from Dead or Alive is no stranger to this moment, reaching the finals in the very first tournament held! In her quest to achieve the first ever win for the Dead or Alive team, Kasumi is bringing quick fighting skills and her ninja cunning to the table. Will she overcome Ken and make it to the finals? Or is history going to repeat itself as she falls to a shoryuken?
Our other matchup has two fan favorites....
A legend in his own right, Heihachi Mishima is perhaps among the most winningist participants in this tournament to never win the title. Coming close several times, including a controversial final match against Tiger Jackson years ago, Heihachi is no stranger to the pressure of this moment. His strong fighting skills and martial prowess can carry him far, but will it be enough to take down the nubile Cammy?
Young and spunky, Cammy has always been a fan favorite in the FCB. Her amazing acrobatics always wow the crowd, and her discipline on the field is almost unmatched by the other fighters in the tournament. always a bridesmaid though, Cammy has never broken through to the final 4 until this very moment. Now she is going for the gold but needs to eliminate the wiliest veteran in her path first. The question now is can she muster up the strength to do it?
And with that, the semi-finals begin! Let's get down to it.
