-CLOTHING / DESCRIPTION-

Dark-skinned, haired and eyed, Zero1 looks a bit like the evil shotos but more human.
And his endings show a kindness that contrasts terribly with his fighting style... which is deadly and brutal.
 

-FIGHTING STYLE-

Zero1 has no punches, and does not throw... Though adept at punishing all cheapskates except tic-throwers is however lacking in powerful offensives of his own. With skilful play, players should be able to use his HUGE repertoire of chain-combos not unlike Gen's to put serious hurt on an opponent, with the air axe providing an excellent finish for most combos. However his best offenses are his supers, mainly rush combos.
 

-SPECIAL MOVES-

Lightning Split Axe - Superfast axe kick... but Zero1 splits as his heel descends so he ends up in a splitting position. Hits floored opponents and shakes the screen but takes some time to recover. Included to depict his ruthless combat that gives players no excuse for letting up on the attack. Also an overhead... stupendously fast, punishes the turtle.

Disdain Spin Hook Punisher - Zero1 jumps and spins once before spinning again to let loose a blazing fast and extremely powerful spinhook aimed at the very teeth of a crouching oponent. Slower than the axe but a more fitting punishment to turtles. Zero1 looks at the opponent with absolute disdain if it connects.

Power Air Axe - A forward kick launches Zero1 upwards and forwards into the air. If it connects properly, the oppo will be doubled over on Zero's foot in mid-air. He suddenly flashes to the ground with a vicious axe kick that slams his oppo into the earth. Screen flash and shake.

Demon Yop Powerful - Invulnerable side-kick that skids across the ground ala Justice fist. Long recovery like J. Fist. Smashes thru fireballs, too. If he smashed thru a fireball and hit the opponent, Zero1 will shake his head in disgust.
 

-SUPER COMBO MOVES-

Dragon's Tail - Starts low. Kicks the ankle, kneecap then stomach while hopping forward. As they double over he viciously forward kicks their chin, lauching them into the air.

- LEVEL 1: Ends there
- LEVEL 2: Juggles on Demon Yop
- LEVEL 3: Jumps into the air to deliver three aerial spin-hook kicks then lands and uses a flashkick-equivalent to send 'em into space.

Brutal Thai Bruiser - Reminds one of Muay Thai but is actually Taekwondo. Starts overhead. Powerful dashing axe kick slams on oppos head, stunning them long enough for these moves to be delivered VERY slowly (Explosion sound and screen shake accompanies each hit)

- LEVEL 1: Knee bash to the chest, jumping shin smash to the head, sidekick to the stomach causing them to double over. Axe to the back of the head ramming them into the ground. Long look of disdain. (Prevents any further combo action)

- LEVEL 2: As above but each move is repeated.

- LEVEL 3: As L1 but 3 of each move, then DEADLY Lightning split axe after look of disdain.

3 - Zero1 clenches his fists and concentrates. If not hit b4 the animation finishes, he regains some strength.

- LEVEL 1: 10%
- LEVEL 2: 30%
- LEVEL 3: 75% (VERY annoying to cowardly opponents!)
 

-BASIC THROW-

His grabs simply push the opponent away with no damage done.
 

-BACKGROUND STORYLINE-

Zero1 appeared from nowhere and entered an international Taekwondo champonship. Not only did he utterly destroy his competition, he mysteriously disappeared immediately after the final match, which lasted for 20 seconds and ended in a knockout. Four men were found dying around the locker room where he was last sighted. His fingerprints were the only ones on them.

Now wanted by the law, Zero1 is an enigma whose whereabouts are unknown to all. His lethal destructive ability makes him a prime suspect for the murder of the four men who were later identified as employees of a huge multinational software company. However not everyone thinks this way.

A detective working for Interpol not only believes that Zero1 is innocent, he/she believes that he is one of the few that can link him/her up with the true underworld organisation that owns the company, which everyone thinks is owned by the world's richest man. She/He believes that Zero1's reputedly unmatched computer skills coupled with his fighting power are desired by the organisation, which is using it's popular software to acquire the resources needed to rule the world.

Zero1's real name and background is unknown, and he sometimes fights in a traditional white duboc (gi). He travels in Honda sedans only, caring less that it makes him easier to identify. He probably has surviving relatives although they are not known. He is purportedly a native of an as of yet unidentified West African nation.
 

-ATTITUDE / BEHAVIOUR-

I'd be a silent Taekwondo expert, in a black Chun Do Kwan Duboc (Gi), who appears grim and moody for the most part and speaks to very few people, but is quick to smile when spoken to...

However his smiles are a mixture of sadness and mystery. Features however are not those of a battle weary warrior like Sagat, but are much younger and less experienced, suggesting a lonely childhood.

Fighting quietly, and showing no emotion whatsoever once the fight begins, Zero1's razor sharp eyebrows and piercing stare are the only things that give away his inner fighting spirit to the opponent, who is bound to underestimate him otherwise.
 

-VICTORY POSES-

His poses differ wildly... from a demonically evil laugh when he defeats a bad guy to a kneeling show of remorse when he beats a good guy. A look of disdain when he destroys a cheapskate (player who turtled, used fireballs excessively and tic-threw), a look of respect when he beats a worthy opponent, and pity when he takes out a young or weak opponent (eg Sakura).
