Fighter Destiny 2 Character Information

Today South Peak Interactive released new character information on its upcoming Nintendo 64 3D- fighting game Fighter Destiny 2. This arcade-style martial arts game will feature characters with varied skills, strengths, and stamina. A list of the game's characters and related information, as released by South Peak, follows:

Adriana (Brazil) - Adriana learned her skills dancing in the Brazilian "Carnival." She brings a colorful Samba dance-style into the ring, converting flashy dance moves into punishing Judo techniques. Her special attack throws are "You and I and the Burning Summer" and "Sun's Hug."

Abdul (Mongolia) - Abdul comes from a long line of Mongolian warriors, dating back to the great Kublai Khan. Don't underestimate him because of his rounded body shape. He is skilled in strange and obscure moves developed in contemplation of heaven, hell, and the earth. Among Abdul's strange powers is the ability to throw fireballs and a deadly head-butt called "Trepang Heaven."

Saeki (Japan) - This young warrior seeks to be a master someday. One look at his upper body shows that he has dedicated himself to strength training. He has also worked hard to develop quickness and agility. In fact, many of his attacks, like "Mach Hook," "Mach Punch," and the devastating special attack, "Mach Buster," are named after Mach 1, the speed of sound.

Federico (Italy) - This scientific genius has cooked up some deadly moves in his fight laboratory. In his research into inflicting pain he has developed an impressive catalog of punishing moves. He takes his opponents to school with his "Dragon Riser" knock-down skill and his electrical special skill, "Plasma Heel Break."

D-Dog (United States) - D-Dog is a fresh basketball star who was banned from the sport for extreme unnecessary roughness. His most vicious moves include the "Blasphemy Chop," the "Stomp," and the dreaded "Hammer Knuckle." D-Dog uses his height, speed, and power to slam-dunk his opponents.

Ninja (Japan) - The warrior Ninja has dedicated his very soul to becoming a human fighting machine. Like any ninja, he is cloaked in dark mystery and possesses secret powers. His knock-down skills are the mysteriously explosive "Mine Palm" and the powerful "Tsumuji." By using the startling magic of "The Art of Transform," he can instantly switch positions with his opponent.

Ziege (Germany) - Part man, part machine, this hulking brute is a mountain of destructive power. Ziege is not the quickest fighter, but his blows land with incredible force. He enjoys pummeling his opponents into the "Piyori State" so he can give them a ride to dreamland with his "Giant Swing" special technique.

Pierre (France) - Pierre loves to freak out his opponents. He trained as a circus tumbler, but he prefers making other people tumble. He surprises his opponents with acrobatic spins, flips, somersaults, and other unconventional attacks. Pierre's "Transform " tTechnique inflates his nose and increases his attack power. If he uses "Transform" six times, his nose explodes and his power drops down to normal.

Dixon (Great Britain) - This British street punk doesn't need a reason to fight, he just likes to. Anger is the energy behind his vicious knock-down skills, "I'm a Negative Creep" and "Angry Fist." His special attack, "Heal a Million, Kill a Million," is a merciless skull-cracking display of pure rage.

Meiling (China) - Meiling is a polite Chinese girl who has crafted delicate skills of crushing power. With the grace of a swan and the speed of a hummingbird, she teaches her opponents a lesson in good manners. Meiling shows off her swiftness and grace with knock-down skills like the beautiful "Spiral Jump" and the lightning-fast "Tenkakuhosho."

Kate (Great Britian) - Bored with the life of a super-model, Kate has taken to the ring with a stunning style. She mixes a mean blend of upper and lower attacks. Try the "Spinning Cocktail" counter technique or the "Earth Cocktail" knock-down to give opponent a permanent hangover.

There are other characters that appear in the game, who only become playable after they are defeated. These "unlockable" characters are Mou, a cool-headed milk-gulping cow, Cherry, a trashy, flashy fighter, Master, who as the name indicates is your master, Samurai, a tough and ruthless fighter, and Fabien, a French medieval knight.
