The deiicate balance of power is maintained throughmiadirection, ntimidation, M. Bicon’speyehie gifts and Bison's heavy-handed friends— Sagat, Balrog and Vega. The constant shift in Shadoloo's ranks keeps the lower crooks in line while rewarding layalty and cleverness. it sorves another purpose as well: a steady influx of new blood. With’ rapid turnover within Shadoloo's pyramid, Bison avoids the stagnation that comes with too much siabilty. Initrating the ‘group is dificult, as Interpol knows. and localized attacks do litle lasting damage to Shadoloo as a whole ‘Smart Street Fighters can explot the treachery within ‘Shadoloo to bring down gangs, Bosses or even Overlords. The system, however, heals itself, Unless some huge blow crioples the whole organization, Shadoloo quickly replaces any losses It may suffer.

As Musashi has said, aslong as fan enemy retains the wil to fight, he can never truly ba destroyed. 3“Our fleld agents are experiencing a common problem: not only does Shadoloo have political clout all over the worid, but when it comes down to outright nitration, ouragents are going inarmeditothe tooth and getting their asses kicked by Shacoloo's ‘enfercement teams of martial artists.

He preters to send servants to enforce his desires. Citen, one of his World Warriors— Sagat, Vega or Balrag— will work wth a team of Shadoloo thugs when Bison nls to make a strong show of force. Normal missions are handled by clans of Shadoloo-controlied ninja, sirest gangs, Shacoloo Street Fighter teams or special servants ot Bison, ‘as the Revonants. Presented below are full stats for Bison, Sagat and Vega along witha description of their maial arts styles: Ler Dit, Thai kickboxing and Spanish Ninitsu. Balrog andhis style of Boxing re detailedin Appendix One of the Street Fighter ‘uicbook Playersare tree to create warriors who know Thal Kiskooxingor Boxing. However, the Storyteller should restrict players from taking Ler Drit or Spanish Ninjtsu as a style, since these two martial arts are only taught by Bison and Vega.Ler Drit is M. Bison's own unique fighting style, one that combines Soviet assassination techniques, powerful jumping movernants and Bison's own dark psychic powers. Ler Diitis aver taught {0 anyone outside of Bison's organzzation. I's effectiveness is without dispute. However, learning this style ig no easy task. Its tolls on the body and mind are enormous. Casualties in class ere not uncomrron, Students whe can't handle Ler Dni's physical training usually dle, and those whose minds snap under the strain ofthe psychic taining tum. into goulless Revenants M. Bison hes been practicing and developing Ler Drit for nearly 15 years now. He Is continually improving ihe style and adding new techniques. This is yet another reason for his involvement in the World Werrior circuit. He musi practice his, special maneuvers egainst the very bes! in the world. Only then will his style become refined, Strength, confidence andruthiessnessare the hallmarks of Ler Drit, and M. Bison teaches his students those quaiitios. By hainessing the power of the mind and developing the body to frightening levels of physical pertection, the Ler Dnt stylist seeks the power to crush his opoonent under foot. Little is known in the outside world about the history of tho style, iis brutal training methods or its siylsts’ source of psychic pawer. It is surmised that many of the more base maneuvers were techniques Bison learned in his youth whie undergoing Special Forces training with Soviet commandos The true ofigin of the style's Special Maneuvers confound even the wisest of Sensei.
