Bio: Mel Masters is the proud son of Pan American champion and Masters Foundation chairman Ken Masters. Having been trained in the martial arts since he was a child (the infamous one-punch event from Ken's SF3 ending can attest to that), Mel is the next in line to carry on the Masters legacy, as well as the legacy of being one of Ansatsuken's greatest fighters. Aside from training under his father and his student, Sean Matsuda, Mel enjoys going to Japan to train under his 'uncle,' Ryu Hoshi and learning alongside his three children, Hanzou, Mei and Kirina. Like their father's before them, Hanzou and Mel are natural rvivals (but it's Hanzou that's delivering the noogies this time around) and try to outdo each other in the martial arts. In an intresting sidenote, he is also rivals with the heir to the New Southtown-based Robert S. Garcia, son of Kyokugenryu masters Robert Garcia and Yuri Sakazaki. He also has to fight off the advances of Riona Howard, the daughter of Geese Howard (even though she despises anyone using the Ansatsuken style, she likes Mel a lot), as well as the advances of Terri Ryan Bogard and Misa Shiranui.

-Special Moves-

Hadouken - The standard move of the Ansatsuken fighting style. Mel fires off a fireball.

Shoryuken - Like father, like son. Moving on...

Hurricane Gale Kick - Unlike his father and uncle, Mel performs this move differently. He leaps into the air, left leg outstretched, catching the opponent full in the face. While spinning, he raises his other leg and strikes. In simpler terms, Mel uses the Animated Movie version of the
Hurricane Kick.

Masters Tackle - Training under Sean as well, Mel bumrushes the opponent and takes them down. He then punches them numerous times in the face.

Nata Otoshi Geri (Falling Hatchet Kick) - Mel performs an outside crescent kick.

Kama Barai Geri (Sweeping Scythe Kick) - Mel does a inside roundhouse kick.

Oosoto Mawashi Geri (Greater Outer Spinning Kick) - Mel does a power roundhouse that knocks down any opponent.

Inazuma Kakoto Wari (Lightning Flash Heel Splitter) - Mel can execute any of the three kicks and fake the opponent by performing a vertical axe kick in mid-move.

Super Move: Shouryuureppa (Rising Dragon Destroyer) - Same as Daddy Masters.

Super Move: Shinryuuken (Heavenly Dragon Fist) - Ditto.

Super Move: Shippuujinrai Kyaku (Kick With Lightning Speed) - Ditto Times Two.

Super Move: Shinbu Gourasen (God Warrior Spiralling Deadly Attack) - Basically, Akuma's Messatsu Gourasen from SF3, only Mel's hits more. Mel does a powered-up
Hurricane Kick that sends him STRAIGHT into the air before hammer-punching the opponent into the ground.
