A young 12 year old boy named Typhon or Typhoon (颱風) who trains in the art of Tengen-Ryuu Kenpou (Heaven Meadow-Style Fist Law), via training at a temple in his village. Upon being bewildered by what a "hamburger" is, he decides to set out....but not before he was tasked by his grandfather to paint the faces of 108 defeated foes on a giant scroll that is now holstered on Typhon's back. As such, this was the start of his training journey....but with mistakes made here and there that cost him his honor, he's been fighting to atone ever since while trying to complete his journey.

Fun fact: He feels like he can understand animals. He takes naps as a hobby.

Gameplay

Typhon is an extremely agile and flexible character with multiple angles of entry, being an amazing speedster that controls the fight through high-jumping-based mobility and zoning. One second he could be throwing projectiles from across the screen and the next he could be swooping down on enemies with his triangle-jump-based moves or his dive kick.

However, it should be noted that his weaknesses heavily involve his lack of physical-poking range (via his stubby attacks) on top of his lack of meterless reversals; both aspects cause him to easily be cornered by aggressive foes who end up getting in on him with little trouble, and make a Typhon player carefully consider how to make the best use of their turns when they have an advantage without missing out and getting blown up.

While a far cry from how overpowered he was in the first game, he despite his fallen sense of performance has at least seen some enhancements in later versions of the second game.

Pros	Cons
Extremely mobile and evasive thanks to fast movement speed, 2 different wall jumps and a plethora of special moves that can be used in the air.	Short range due to stubby limbs and can easily be cornered with lack of reversals to keep his foe's out.
Can mix opponents up with overheads, lows and a command grab as well.	Weak Boost Dive compared to other characters.
-	Overall high mobility adds a layer of execution and needs to take risks to get in close when committing to direct offense.

Command Normal

Soutoushou 6SP "Twin Thrust Palms" But it's a punch tho... "Twin Thrust Palms" But it's a punch tho...	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - High - - - - No - A forward twin-punch move that hits overhead. Though while it doesn't have too many uses standalone, it instead works pretty well in certain combos. On hit, it blows away in order for Typhon to gain some distance from his foe but also launches on counter hit.

Sourakkyaku j.2LK "Twin Falling Legs" "Twin Falling Legs"	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Mid - - - - No - Typhon's dive kick. It goes straight down and bounces you off the opponent's head if it connects.

Sankaku Tobi/Triangle Jump 6 or 9 near the wall	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - - - - - - No - Standard wall jump. When cornered, it provides a great escape option. This acts differently than the motion for his Mouchoushuu Wall Jump.

Retsusou'an 463214P "Fury Twin Hold" "Fury Twin Hold"	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Throw - - - - - - Typhon grabs the opponent and unleashes a burst of energy through them with both palms that puts them in a crumple state that can be comboed out of. Excellent move to mix up into while applying pressure with rapid 2LKs.

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 236K/214K - Mid - - - - - - Typhon leaps to the wall and starts his shenanigans, where you can perform various followups upon reaching the wall; the no input result is a dive kick (Hitankyaku) that's great for a surprise attack. It's possible to perform his falling stomp command normal (j.2K) during this attack, or input any upwards direction (9/8/7) to do a wall jump to the opposite wall and perform a Hitankyaku from there to cross-up your opponent. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 6 or 3 - - - - - - - - However, holding forward or down-forward away from a wall (during either the first input of Mouchoushuu or the wall jump followup) results in Typhon pausing upon reaching said wall and then dropping down normally, mainly to get back to the ground with this likely psyching-out a foe that's learned to respect your offense; though if they happen to hard-read you, you could eat an attack upon dropping down. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 236K/214K-6/3-1/2/3P - Mid - - - - - - During any input portion of Mouchoushuu or its extra wall jump, you can input a version of Tenkeishou (236P) done only during these wall jump sequences with a different input than the original version, but otherwise functions the same as the standalone airborne version for button strength used.
