Revision as of 07:49, 28 August 2011
Maki Genryusai is a character originating in Final Fight 2. She was designed as a Bushin ninja along the same lines as Guy.
Special Attack and Weapon
Maki's Special Attack is the Gale Wind Kick, which has her dropping nearly upside down on one hand, while spinning and kicking the opponent.
Maki's weapon of choice is a tonfa stick.
Saving Her Father
In Final Fight 2, Maki is the "quick type" of the three main characters alongside Mike Haggar and Carlos, and essentially serves as Guy's replacement in the game. The plot revolves around the kidnapping of Maki's father and older sister, Genryusai and Rena, by the newly revived Mad Gear gang led by Retu. With Guy (Rena's fiance and one of Genryusai's students) off training and unable to help, she enlists the help of Haggar and Carlos to save them. At the end of the final battle, Maki managed to defeat and kill Retu by kicking him through the dojo's window, finally avenging her family. Maki is described here as the former leader of a bosozoku gang, who loves to get into street fights. This was changed in the English localization of the game, in which Maki is described as a peaceful girl who hates fighting and no reference is made of her being a biker gang leader in the past.
Capcom Vs. SNK 2
Maki next appeared in Capcom vs. SNK 2, with her storyline having her trying to find and defeat Guy in order to become the next Bushin-ryu successor. However, in her ending for this game it's stated she was unable to do so. Her appearance in Capcom vs. SNK 2 led to a later appearance and storyline for the Street Fighter Alpha series. Her Reppukyaku drains vitality like it did in Final Fight 2. The character was significantly changed design wise in terms of outfit and weaponry, and her personality was changed to reflect her biker gang leader roots.
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Maki was included in the Game Boy Advance version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 by Crawfish Entertainment, and later in Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX for the PSP, which served to solidify the storylines for the additional characters added to GBA version. Her sprite was reused from Capcom vs. SNK 2, but downscaled to portable resolution. Her story is akin to the one in Capcom vs SNK 2, revolving around her looking for Guy to find out which of them is the true successor of the Bushin style after the death of her father, Genryusai. In doing so however, she gets in the middle of Guy's affairs with Shadaloo. Regardless, the two fought, but stopped when they sensed M. Bison's evil presence. Taking him on, the battle doesn't go positively for Maki, who becomes stunned by one of Bison's attacks. Guy rescues her, managing to drive Bison off with his power, much to Maki's chagrin. She begrudgingly thanks him and after Guy leaves, states out loud she might not be ready to win, but she will be when Guy and her next meet.
Trivia
Maki appeared in Masahiko Nakahira's Sakura Ganbaru! manga, about the adventures of Sakura.
There is official art (see Gallery) of Maki posing with her sister and Guy. The motorcycle, despite it being in front of Guy and having a chibi-style decal of him on it, belongs to Maki.
She makes a cameo in Capcom Fighting Evolution, at the Japanese Street stage, in front of the train station.
