- —Sean's intro quote
Sean Matsuda (ショーン・マツダ/松田, Shōn Matsuda?) is a video game character from the Street Fighter series, first appearing in Street Fighter III: New Generation. He is a confident amateur martial artist from Brazil who meets Ken and eventually becomes his disciple, and the younger brother of Laura.
Biography
Concept
Fans believed Sean was originally intended to be the only character who used a "shoto" fighting style in Street Fighter III: New Generation until Capcom decided that Ryu and Ken were too popular to exclude (Yang and Hugo almost took their places on the roster).[7]
However in an interview with Street Fighter III's producer & director, Tomoshi Sadamoto, he states that Sean wasn't initially present in New Generation's development. When they were unable to finish Hugo on time, they made Sean so there would be enough characters on release, making Sean the last character added to the initial roster.[8] This was after Ryu was added to the game and was going to be the only returning character, but since they didn’t have enough characters they later added Ken.[9] Sean was made to be a weak character that players would use to give themselves a handicap. In order to explain this weakness they made him Ken's student.[8]
Appearance
In the Street Fighter III games, Sean wears a yellow gi similar to those worn by Ryu and Ken with the sleeves removed at the shoulders and red, cobra style karate gloves. He wears a black belt and fights barefoot. He is a dark-skinned Brazilian and has black dreadlocks with the sides shaved off and usually brings a basketball with him everywhere.
In Street Fighter V, he wears a modern outfit consisting of a yellow hoodie jacket with the sign of "S" at the center, black outlines in each sides of his sleeves, yellow jogging pants, his signature red sparring gloves and red sneakers with two white linings. He also has a bandage on his nose. In A Shadow Falls, Sean's dreadlocks are grown into shoulder length. He wears a yellow sleeveless hoodie with a black short sleeve fitted shirt, blue baggy jean shorts with a brown belt to his waist and white sneakers.
Personality
Sean is eager to prove himself as a strong fighter and hates being referred to as weak. He often makes a point of bringing up Dan as a shining example of weakness and thus someone he hates being compared to.
He is also a huge fan of Ken Masters and wishes to learn from him in hopes of becoming a better person. Additionally, Sean reads a magazine named "Masters Online Karate" at the time of Street Fighter V. Sean is also somewhat afraid of his older sister Laura.
Character Relationships
Laura
Sean's older sister. While they do care about each other, he gets annoyed by her teasing.
Ken
Ken is Sean's idol. He was self taught (possibly using Masters Online Karate) and wanted to get full training lessons from Ken himself. Ken saved Sean in A Shadow Falls from F.A.N.G and a mid-rank Shadaloo soldier. Sean would enter the next available World Fighting Tournament to prove he is a worthy student but fails.
Yang
When Yang first sees Sean, he turns him down and thinks he's too weak for a challenge. Sean, offended by Yang's words, challenges Yang to a match. Sean comes out as the victor.
Ryu
After losing to Ken, he is told to find Ryu and should not return until he has done that. When he first challenges Ryu, he loses and spends a year training.
Other games
Sean starred in his own Japanese only mobile game, Sean's Basket, released in 2001.[10]
Crossover appearances
Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes
Sean appeared along with Ken in Ryu's pre-fight introduction, as well as his ending.
Capcom Fighting Evolution
Sean made a cameo appearance in Pyron's CFE ending and in the New York stage as well.
Comics
UDON comics
Sean is the protagonist in UDON's Super Street Fighter: New Generations Vol. 2's story arc Hong Kong Hustle. Here he fights a group of thugs while attempting to save who he thought was a helpless woman, but turned out to be Chun-Li. Chun-Li finishes the thugs off for Sean while Ken Masters appears to inform Sean just who she is. She leaves saying that she's sure Sean would 'make his master proud' while Ken and Sean share a moment over the exciting streets of Hong Kong.
Later, Sean assists in the third World Fighting Tournament.
Sean also makes another prominent appearance in the Street Fighter V Free Comic Book Day comic. In this short story, Sean fights his sister Laura in the Brazilian Regional Jujitsu Finals. He accuses her of not using Matsuda Jujitsu when she uses her Volty Line move in which Laura tells him that he needs to break away from fighting just like their grandpa taught him and try to incorporate new techniques into the foundation he has. Laura wins the match and Sean leaves dejected. However in one of the back rooms he catches sight of Ken Masters winning a tournament and vows that he'll beat Laura using 'Ken Masters' style.
Gameplay
Fighting style
Sean practices the same fighting style as Ryu and Ken; however, due to his inexperience, there are notable differences between his moves and theirs. He even shares different moves than his family's "Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu".
The most notable difference is his projectile, which is only available to Sean as a Super Art. His Shoryuken works much the same way; while he does have a two-handed version of the move, he only performs the "true" Shoryuken in yet another of his Super Arts, which more closely resembles the Shoryureppa. This seems to imply that Sean can only use Ken's techniques properly with extreme focus. His third Super Art is the Hyper Tornado.
Sean performs his version of the Tatsumaki with both legs, similar to Dan and his Dankukyaku. He also possess moves somewhat unique to him: an overhead wheel kick and a rushing tackle. He is also able to shoot a basketball and use it as a special move like a Hadoken, however, it doesn't do much damage.
Moveset
In 2nd Impact, Sean was a lot easier to use and the best choice because of his high damage. Sean can link/combo his Super Arts after some of his special moves, though it will do less damage. His Ryuubi Kyaku has a big pause, making it easy to parry, but it is good for countering fireballs. His Tornado is easy to combo, and his Dragon Smash is a high-damage and high-priority two hit anti-air uppercut.
In 3rd Strike, some of his moves, most notably his Dragon Smash, were toned down in effectiveness and damage, although his Ryuubi Kyaku no longer pauses before execution. Sean was also given many new standard attacks, and two of his special moves were changed to feature new animation frames.
Stage Themes
Sean's theme in New Generation is a remix of Alex's theme Jazzy NYC. In Second Impact, his theme is an original Sao Paulo, Brazilian theme and in 3rd Strike, he shares the theme Longshoreman with Oro.
