Now Viewing: gen_(street_fighter)Tag type: Character Gen (元) first appears in the original Street Fighter (1987) as the second opponent the player faces from China in the single-player tournament (the first one being Lee). Gen is portrayed as an elderly martial artist who according to the game's backstory, works as an assassin as well. Gen would resurface as a playable character in Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996) and its sequel, Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998). Gen is the only character in the game who can switch between two fighting styles during gameplay: the Mourning Style and the Hateful Style, also known as the Mantis and Crane styles respectively. He changes not only his fighting stance and basic moves, but his special moves and Super Combos as well. In Alpha 3, this feature is removed when Gen is selected in X-ism mode. In the storyline of the Alpha series, Gen is a terminally ill assassin who seeks to fight Akuma as his last opponent before dying. Gen also confronts Chun-Li (whose father was Gen's student according to the backstory) as a secret rival character in Alpha 2 and Ryu as mid-boss in Alpha 3, believing that he uses the same murderous style as Akuma. Gen appears in the home version of Street Fighter IV as an additional character. Gen's connection with Chun-Li's father and his conflicting emotions with her plays a role in his backstory in the game. He was played by Robin Shou in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.
