For those who don't know D. Dark's story or got it wrong, let me shed light. D. Dark is a subordinate of Guile serving directly under him and helping him in missions as the leader of his own recon unit. D. Dark's unit had a scuffle with a rival unit that is led by Rolento which turned into a full scale battle. Both of their units suffered huge casualties. While Rolento didn't seem that much affected with his unit's losses, D. Dark on the other hand was extremely affected by witnessing the slaughter of his unit and also suffered a torn jaw hence the need for a mask. He wants revenge against Rolento for slaughtering his unit and also holds Guile responsible for failing to train them well and instead concentrated on avenging Charlie's death at the hands of M. Bison.
Dang, I did not know they had that much detail to it. I never even thought there was a reason for the mask, I thought it was aquatic or something. This storyline seems very sensible.
This game's entire reason I am a musician today. I fell in love with the Strange Sunset theme at age 10, then started learning the piano at age 12. 20 yrs on...I'm now traveling the world due to my skills, and these songs still hit me exactly the same each time I press play..
Rodney Christopher Actually, before I knew the whole shebang (pun!) I STILL hated Rolento... it all started when my brother figured out his combos and began to spam grenades.
I actually think it sounds very dark and deranged in a tragic kind of way. Its peacefully twisted I would call it. Like if a peaceful mind were to sound peaceful we would know it but this is what a deranged mind sounds like when it thinks of peace. Peace is never really there for such a deranged person. A person who's mind has long left him.
He probably got PTSD so badly that his eyes look like he's in a 'thousand yard stare' way 24/7. That's actually fucked up and sad. Rolento literally murdered all his unit _but_ him. Those are eyes of a man who's lost all humanity. He has fully broke. Poor guy..
The face looks creepier and less like a reaction than people are realizing. You can see how the facial muscles are completely relaxed except those eyes. Can you imagine someone calmly looking at you with the most intense stare ever?
A man now known for short simply as DD. A man who watched his entire squadron die by Rolento. Those are not the eyes of someone who's stepped in shit, or on a lego brick, that is the look of a man. a man who has lost all calmness and now into the realm of calamity. He's a man of many tastes, long full screen pulls that would make Scorpion nod in signs of respect and a love of explosives, and as for dislikes a easy answer would be one name. Guile.
Quick summary of this character, from the various comments here: 1. He's creepy. 2. He's seen far too much porn, and probably makes porn films in his spare time, too (search your rooms, he may be waiting in one corner with a camcorder). 3. Stepped on Lego bricks with his bare feet. 4. A victim of PTSD, especially after Rolento slaughtered his unit. 5. Blames Guile for point #4. Did I miss anything about him? ^_~
That is one creepy cold blooded fighter. No wonder why he didn’t join Shadaloo. Fun Fact: In Street Fighter EX. He has a throw where he slits the opponents throat and blood would come out in the Japanese version. In Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha, his throw got changed where his bomb makes the opponent explode, but the throat slit animation was still the same. Blood doesn’t come out this time. International versions however, replaced the throw animation with Ryu’s/Ken’s throw.
Apart from these vocals samples in the background, which are pretty much weird... The clean guitar, the small details, the harmonization with those smooth 90s synths, the fretless bass... Rarely a song can be this good. One of the best OSTs ever done, in terms of music itself, not as part of a game, but a cd I would go into a store a buy.
I remember playing this game as a kid (like, 13) and writing off Dark as a 2 dimensional psycho character, even knowing his backstory. One day my mom sees this character artwork, and she doesn’t know anything about the character. Mom: “Poor guy…” Me: “What do you mean? He’s psycho.” Mom: “Look at his eyes. He’s traumatized.”
I think they are trying to incorporate all of them including Darun Mister and the long missing Blair Dame. Now if they get Allen Snider as a canon character then we will have what Rufus should have been.
Born in Germany, Dark once served under the orders of Guile with his own special tactical reconnaissance unit. During his tour of duty, his own unit got into a bit of a scuffle with another rival unit, lead by Rolento. The minor scuffle escalated into a full-on battle, with both sides receiving heavy casualties. Doctrine Dark was the only member of his unit to escape. However, he was severely injured emotionally and physically.
this song is....genius!! the bass is so well written, and the melodies are kinda sinister but evolving.... plus the xilophone and the marching sounds give a nice touch to the song! just the solo makes it one of my favourite songs, and I know a lot of songs!! xD
+franco1297 "Dammit. Never taught us how to deal with fucking invincibility...Whole time he's dashing around like a loon with those afterimages, and no one could even TOUCH him..."
I do know, I do. It's really sad that they don't value the EX series, it was one of the best 'round. But so far so good, we still have the games to fool around and be happy. Reviving memories here and there.
rgtert rtertertert well yeah, his backstory is that he was trained and sent off into battle by Guile which ended up being a severely failed mission as they were attacked by Rolento's troop, and he watched his entire squadron perish, causing him to become upset and filled with hatred toward Guile who he believed had sent them to their doom. He then hid and slipped into insanity.
D.Dark took a very deep breath to test his custom mask. Then he realized it did not filter out all the shit smell. And bad news, he lives in a fucking sewer.
me I have all the SFEX (EX1\2\3\Arrange) on My PC and external HD n FLAC (found on ffshrine forum, go there it's amazing so many 320kbps\lossless music from videogames). Music such as this as to be archived in proper format.
Rumour has it that Garuda complained to Capcom and Arika that his theme in the arcade version of Street Fighter EX 1 wasn't strong enough. They told him, "We'll make up for that in the PSX version of the game." Sure enough, the PSX version of "Stronger" was, and still is, something worth respecting. Well-deserving of the title, for an embodiment of the Satsui no Hadou.
@@FartOfAsspiration Or, better yet, set an Explosive on the ground, then reel them in with the Kill Wire, followed by a standing Heavy Kick for a decent 3-hit combo.
