Delsol (Force Five/Fighting Vipers) / デルソル (フォースファイブ / ファイティングバイパーズ)

What an interesting history this dude has...for starters, if you've played the 2002 game WWF Raw, you've played the game where this guy's mask from Fighting Vipers 2 is in the list of usable CAW items.

He is the wrestler mascot of Anchor Inc, a company that's worked on that alongside quite a few wrestling games, several unknown fighting games including Toy Fighter, Fighting Vipers 2, and the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood PS2 game (!?), so naturally he'd show up in some of them.

Unfortunately, Force Five, the game where he'd most likely be the most recognizable (since he's an actual main playable character and all) was canned, and reworked into the weird cheesecake fest Jingi Storm where he and the rest of the cast were replaced (he in particular had the strange change into a Yakuza member that didn't seem particular to wearing actual clothes...), but their movesets still remained. Here's Mikado footage of the game, since footage is hard to come by considering it's both unreleased and unemulated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o63h5_I4PiY

He did manage to be a playable hidden character in Fighting Vipers 2, albeit with a very...different look, and without his shadow-throwing techniques from Force Five, but as of now it's the only way to play as him. Whew, there's your history lesson for today.

Anyhoo, his moveset is a blend of his moves from Force Five and Fighting Vipers, and his AI I tweaked to be a bit of a high flyer type. His costumes are:

- Force Five default (primary)
- Fighting Vipers 2 default (2P)
- Giichi from Jingi Storm, his replacement (3P)
- Fighting Vipers 2 alt palette (4P) (not the moon mask because I spent hours trying to get the damn mask in the FV outfit presentable to begin with)

His theme filename is MIC-DelSol, which you can find here:
