[@ProfessorPlayer]

Guile is from: America Rufus is from: 'Murrica Learn the difference, It may save your life.

[@NEUTR0NDANCE]

Rufus isn't from 'Murica at all. His accent is blatantly northeastern. Same goes for his girlfriend.

[@stephentimothy4679]

i guess it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online ?

[@stephentimothy4679]

@Marvin Rocco thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it!!

[@marvinrocco1213]

[@slashbash1347]

[@nero2643]

***** Then , sorry.

[@robinwilliams6586]

I think he I just over weight because he eats because of stress

[@thebandanadee8265]

He actually eats a lot to build up his "Iron body"

[@Netsaver]

You know one thing you gotta admit when it comes to fighting Rufus is in his own right a genius as his martial art is entirely self-taught from watching karate videos. Plus he is, to a very small degree, able to use Ki. Quite the man.

[@a800562]

He must be like 450 lbs and moves like an acrobat, blasts people with his hands which is probably a Ki attack. Not sure how he does whatever he does in his ultra 2, that's just crazy.

[@ignaciocorto]

Sammo Hung

[@robinwilliams6586]

I mean from only watching this fat beast can control his own ki

[@Nehfarius]

In all fairness, he didn't JUST watch martial-arts flicks to learn his style. He actually travelled to separate fact from fiction when it comes to performing moves, and, in the process, probably gained a lot of the fluid grace and noble technique he has. The sort one wouldn't expect from a guy who looks like he does.

[@zcatcher8955]

Respect 👏🏽

[@rachidmerams742]

Guile is the American Dream. Rufus, The American truth.

[@Emberson-9000]

Apparently the American truth knows Kung Fu.

[@TheNormalUnstable]

The American Dream is Dusty Rhodes

[@justxander1656]

If rufus got into sf6 i might cry hr could even get character growth by being the only person being able to help with what ken is going through

[@thecatastrophe132]

This would be a funny way to bring him back into real focus, and you’d already know he’d help but gloat about how he’s the real champ afterward lol

[@fr4nky-m4rtins22]

Yo i was thinking the same thing

[@ProfessionalNamielleLewder69]

*Ken:* (sigh) *Rufus:* What's wrong? *Ken:* I miss my wife Rufus. I miss her a lot. I'll be back.

[@helfire14]

Quite possibly the most badass fat guy in a fighting game. He made an entirely new style of Kung Fu simply by watching corny Japanese movies and without any special training, is capable of channelling his Ki to generate shockwaves and vacuums. All while being borderline obese.

[@smorgborg]

borderline obese ? you're kidding right?

[@helfire14]

+Cameron Biel Sorry. *Absolutely Obese*.

[@Ismael916]

Reminds me of Sammo Hung style

[@giornogiovanna3477]

He mistakes pretty much everyone with Ken:here's a list of people he mistook for Ken: Abel Cammy Dan Vega Ryu Makoto Guile Poison

[@NickIntoTech]

1. E-Honda “Street fighter” 2. Birdie ”Street fighter” 3. Bo rai cho “Mortal kombat” 4. Rufus “Street fighter” 5. Bob “Tekken”

[@jophuss7750]

Capcom had no business giving a character like Rufus such a good theme song

[@Crisis7]

Rufus, more like "Obelix's secret identity when he goes street fighting"

[@jasons2023]

More like Oblelix's American descendant

[@JYoungbloodVO]

Now that I think about it....Rufus is a LOT like Obelix

[@robinwilliams6586]

Yeah true with the beard he and long pony tails

[@Trixdee]

You've fought the rest now fight the best!

[@robinwilliams6586]

Rufus later in the 4th match of the tournament loses to Ken Masters the reigning 3 time champion

[@TownOfCoom]

*dum*

[@PsychoJosh]

It should've been "you fought the rest, now fight me!"

[@uludaggameplays4389]

I read it with Rufus' voice

[@justjam1989]

☝️

[@carolinesweeper]

There may not ever be a time like this, since Rufus is majorly disliked... But if there's ever characters to come back in Street Fighter 6, I better hear a remake of this theme during that Capcom reveal and it better be glorious.

[@smith9747]

This guy is the reason why I will never be able to pronounce "Ken Masters" in a normal tone again.

[@Dr.Manninton]

I can't even read it in a proper tone

[@isasafdari2174]

[@goblinj_]

Accent on the masters

[@Fazbear-mp8oz]

Rufus:so ken masters, at last we meet this is gonna hurt like nobody's business. Ken:hmm this could be interesting,bring it on meatball. Rufus:WHY YOU.

[@antoniorodriguez5005]

Glad to see he is not underrated as a character anymore. He is really awesome and fun to play

[@worstinshow]

I know a lot of people dislike Rufus, but in my book he gets a pass just by virtue of his defining character trait being that he hates Ken almost as much as I do.

[@channelgrantito7662]

I'm not gonna lie, this character is BADASS! His theme is friggin awesome, he hilarious to look at, and I have beaten over 70 Oni players online with this dude. Rufus has to return in another street fighter.

[@emperorpalpatine7149]

+Grantito Johnson I also think that Rufus is a good character. Unique character design, funny dialogues (albeit very long), good movesets, but he's also underrated. And most fans dislike Rufus for some reason ;-; and I don't think he'll be back in SFV, even as a DLC.

[@awesomeninja9178]

+Emperor Palpatine i tell cam cop to make him return in more street fighter games to come not as dlc cause he is funny, has a bad ass theme and his cutscences make us laugh btw….this is all your fault KEEEEN MASSSSSSTTTTTTEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRS!

[@captaincactus6462]

+Awesome Ninja GET CAM COP ON THE PHONE ASAP!!!

[@Golfer-wk7fd]

+Emperor Palpatine The only reason his not likeable because his design is basically made to be hateable rufus is a cool guy, he even gets a girlfriend man

[@awesomeninja9178]

i like him cause he mistaker any blond or any thin person for ken hes funny and if he was real i would have a hard time beating him!

[@p.l.fwarrior7354]

Can you imagine if Rufus was SF6 and we got a remix of this song? "Ha! Looks like I finally won Ken Masters! You lost your precious family, but my sweet Candy is still with me after all these years."

[@Jfrost9101]

They teased Ken falling to his urge to kill in his arcade mode, but Rufus being an insensitive dumbass is what finally pushes him over the edge

[@nick-brothwood]

I am in awe of the size of this lad, absolute unit

[@SitriUvali]

Y'know, I never was able to fully get into Rufus, but boy, do I appreciate him. Also, his theme is pretty freaking catchy, n' I get it stuck in my head several times.

[@carolinesweeper]

I didn't expect that Rufus would have this badass theme :D

[@spacepuppy720]

I can only wonder what sort of antics would ensue if rufus and ken got handcuffed together XD

[@shadowpikachu958]

[@carlbloke8797]

[@grantcole1898]

I just thought of something: In Street Fighter 6, Ken is on run from the law, and that could mean Rufus might try to take his place as U.S. Martial Arts Champion.

[@luisgomezc2do140]

Juri: 😋😏MMMMNM you can see that you are in good shape Rufus: I KNOW IT VERY WELL BABY.

[@davedanmodesto904]

I want Rufus for Street Fighter V honestly. For him to challenge Ken Masters once more. xD

[@onedaxster]

David Modesto I commented something similar and it seems a lot of people agree

[@TheParodotaku]

Rufus VS Birdie, the two fattest in Street Fighter.

[@ColeMeCrazy]

Also the fact that he mistakenly calls every blonde character Ken Masters except in a mirror match. He even called Ryu "Ken" because of his similarities with him.

[@zcatcher8955]

I would love to see another fat fighter in street fighter

[@shomi8791]

Never say never

[@isasafdari2174]

Ikr same

[@screamingcat7543]

Would want him to appear in Street Fighter 6 DLC his Story should be Giving Ken Master a Helping Hand from being Framed by a Bad Guy like Rufus would atleast Support Ken Master this time instead of Trying to find and beat him.

[@JYoungbloodVO]

"Ya listen here, Ken Masters, I may hate ya guts n' all, but bein' framed?! Nobody, and I mean, NOBODY, should hafta deal with that! I've seen COPS, I know! So I'll help ya out!....NOT ONLY BECAUSE O' THAT, BUT BECAUSE *I'M* THE ONE THAT DESERVES TA BRING YA DOWN!!!"

[@screamingcat7543]

this would make a Total Fitting Sense wish the Fat guy would come back.

[@megabear8905]

Or he could be the US world champion since Ken's on the run.

[@richieford7393]

The theme has a Hsien-Ko's theme feel to it, where they add in battle grunts as part of the music. Which is great sounding.

[@kpoprules1103]

It does not have a heisien ko music feel in to it

[@atteranenforcer5263]

He means the battle grunts make them sound similar, but i agree with the fact it doesn't have a similar music style that Hsien-Ko's theme has.

[@kpoprules1103]

***** the only music that can compare to hsien ko's music is vanity paradise from darkstalkers 3

[@pranitbhagat1860]

It's different than that of Rufus's theme. It sounds "........ -Kiai (pronounced "key-eye") is a Japanese term used in martial arts. "

[@Xohadarc]

I love this ridiculous man! Rufus is my favourite jiggly boy! XD

[@jaysanj152]

Dude,Can you even imagine what'll happen if Rufus meets SF6 Ken considering his mind state ?

[@VenomLeon]

That's what I was thinking! Him in SF6 would only hurt Ken even more.. That, or Rufus, for some weird reason, offers his help.

[@RomuloTheBrazilian]

"The fat lady is about to sing" LOL

[@변도경-q3i]

If Rufus comes back in SF6, I bet he will mistake Luke and Ed as Ken Masters.

I unironically love Rufus

[@LucasHpm]

+Warlord SteelShroom Rufus beign agile is the one of the things that makes me hate him so much. Not even E-Honda is that fast! And he's muscular!

[@attack_br8k]

Don05 it’s disappointing cuz E-Honda’s a sumo wrestler and sumo wrestling requires a lot of explosive power and speed

[@robinwilliams6586]

The theme that goes with his cocky personality and arrogance

Poison was a woman in the Japanese release of Final Fight. But she was edited in the US manuals of the game to be a transsexual male due to fears that women's rights groups would boycott the game.

[@TheBoredomOtaku]

King Cobra was the name of the famous Muay Thai fighter who was challenged by Japanese slef style karate master Mas Oyama of Japan. Mas Oyama was a well experienced high level karate master who traveled to Thailand to take on the best of all their Muay Thai fighters and surprisingly he succeeded even against King Cobra. Mas Oyama was the inspiration for many fighting game characters (SF Ryu and KOF Takuma) while King Cobra inspiration for others (SF Sagat) Not sure about Rufus' old design tho

[@DTylerFultzVA]

Fat guys tend to be the strong-but-slow, hard-hitters, right? Screw that, because Rufus is actually a SPEED-based character! I don't care if someone else has done this before (and I don't even want to hear about Bob from "Tekken") because it's freakin' awesome.

[@jowapingpo1252]

The vocals sound like Mario after a whole lotta cocaine

[@MaximumKOF]

To elaborate, Rufus believes himself to be the best fighter in the USA and thus isn't exactly happy about how much publicity Ken receives that claims him to be the best fighter in the USA. To prove that he deserves the title, Rufus decides to search for Ken and defeat him in a fight.

because I just flat out explained why Guile's design isn't a "uber manly american GI Joe" stereotype and how he's clearly a inspired by an older character. Battle Tendency.
