Gen

Background

Gen has been around since the first World Warrior tournament. He is the original old kung fu master fighting character.

Gen was friends with Chun-Li’s father and was Chun-Li’s martial arts teacher.

Gen discovered he was terminally ill and sought out Akuma for a fight to the death, rather than submit to his disease. Akuma stopped the fight however when he realised Gen was sick. Gen returns in Street Fighter 4 hoping to find an opponent worthy enough to finish him off in battle.

Technique

Gen has two distinct kung fu fighting styles, Mantis style and Crane style. His stance, moves, combos and specials all change with each style.
