Poison (Final Fight)
is a fictional character in the ''Final Fight'' and ''Street Fighter'' series of video games. Created by Akira Yasuda for Capcom, Poison first appeared in the original ''Final Fight'' alongside a similar character, Roxy, later appearing in Capcom-produced games, media and merchandise related to the ''Street Fighter'' franchise. She is voiced by Atsuko Tanaka since the ''Street Fighter III'' series and Masae Yumi in '' SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos''.

However, that was not considered satisfactory and both Poison and her palette swap Roxy were replaced by the male characters "Billy" and "Sid" and have been for every subsequent North American port of the title on Nintendo consoles and handhelds. After the ''Final Fight'' s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
