Bio

THE SONY CAT

Toro's origins are unknown aside from being born a stray with his parents presumably dead, though it is known that he was adopted by a kindly sushi store owner. He is on a quest to become human and to do this he is prepared to assume a variety of roles. He is also an unabashed fan of games. He has presented news programmes, gone golfing and even fought with the best of the best in Street Fighter x Tekken. With his neighbour and best friend Kuro by his side, Toro is thrilled with the opportunity to meet so many of his heroes from games he has played.

Intro

"Guess what Toro? It's happening for real this time!" Toro turned to his unusually enthusiastic friend just as he was about to have lunch. "What is?" He asked. "Why it's the tournament! You remember it, don't you?" Toro did remember and his face lit up. "Of course! Will all our favourites be there?" He asked as he got ready to travel. "Yep! Even the hot babes!" That remark earned Kuro a slap on the head. "Kuro! You must be respectful around these warriors! We must be on our best behaviour!" He then quickly scoffed down his lunch. "Furthermore, we should not be late! Let's go!" Toro grabbed his things and raced out the door, with Kuro not far behind.

Rival Scene

"I don't understand why everyone wants to fight you so much..." Kuro questioned as the two cats wandered through the arena. "It's the aim of the competition, Kuro. In fact, judging by the surroundings it looks like it's time for my rival battle!" Eager to see who it was that he would be fighting, Toro ran ahead, only to encounter Astro. "Astro-san!" Toro bowed. "It's an honour to meet you." Astro smiled back. He recognised Toro from some of the others astrobots. "This is your rival?" Kuro seemed disappointed. "Man, I was hoping we'd get Kat." Toro glared at him. "Kuro! It's a great honour to have you as my rival, Astro-san. The mascot of the Playstation 5, I would love the chance to spar with you!" Toro assumed his fighting stance as Astro agreed and assumed his for what was going to be without a shadow of a doubt the most friendly rival fight.

Outro

"Well, that was quite an adventure, wasn't it?" Kuro was relieved to be back so he could go to sleep. Toro was still thinking of how amazing the whole experience was. "Yes, it was truly amazing to get to meet all those new people." But as they returned to Toro's house, the white cat looked saddened. "What is it?" Kuro asked. "Well, it's just that even after all that I'm still no closer to being human." Kuro laughed. "All those humans wanted to do is fight you, Toro!" Toro lightened up, seeing the funny side of things. "You'll have to try something else if you want to become human." Toro then began to glow blue. "You're right, Kuro! I'll just have to keep learning new words!" Kuro laughed again. "That's the spirit, Toro! Besides, even if you're not human, look how much you've learned." Toro struck a few fighting poses. "That's right! This new power suits me, don't you think?"

Author's Note

I wanted to try something different with Toro's moveset. I thought it was pretty funny that his original moveset combines elements of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and King of Fighters but I guess I thought it'd be funnier if he had to use moves from his own series. I let him keep Ryu's moves because he uses them in Street Fighter x Tekken, plus I think him having the Raging Demon as his Level 3 is funny. Toro has had a mobile release since All-Stars, the only game he's been in since then but it presented a few new ideas, plus scowering Toro's already existing history offered a lot. The sheer amount of games Toro has been in honestly blew me away as well as the variety of incredibly weird attacks he's used in the games he has appeared in. Hence, Guest Toro.
