|  "Something interesting... Rolento/Cammy..."
, posted Tue 26 Mar 10:50
The other day I was reading some random character bios, and I came across Doctrine Dark's. I never knew that his story concerned Rolento and his army. Now, I started to wonder, just who could Rolento's army be? And even though this is all conjecture, i think it would make a very interesting storyline twist...
WHAT IF ROLENTO WAS THE LEADER OF THE DELTA RED SQUADRON FROM CAMMY'S SSF2 ENDING?
The facts:
1.) Rolento has an as-of-yet unseen army (even though I realize that the EX series story is not related, and that Rolento has all those Edi E.'s from his winpose) who are obviously very skilled if they can take down an entire battalion of Guile's.
2.) IIRC, Delta Red isn't controlled by Bison. In fact, they are after him. So is Rolento in Alpha 3. Kind of a weak judgement, but still...
3.) They all wear red berets.
4.) Some of Rolento's attack names contain the name Delta (Mekong Delta Attack, Mekong Delta Escape). I realize that Delta is the military word for D, but still, kind of a coincedence...
Even though these facts are VERY sketchy at best, I still think that this could make a cool fanfic or something... What do you think?

Mmmhh...
Very very interesting theory!
I like how the ex and the official universe are getting togheter everytime more.
But, what if Wolfman is just but a puppet for Rolento??
Somehow, Rolento thinks that using a Bison "Doll", would be perfect to build his own Psycho Drive, or to search for Shadaloo secrets.
Delta Red is nothing but a mere show to divert attention from his own operations.
The Delta Red members were also part of another terrorist/extremist/drug cartel, etc, group, and Rolento is using them to gather info for his own purposes as well...
Of course, I made that up, but wouldn't be cool to see something like that??

I would just like to say, that if someplace, sometime, Rolento was the main good/bad guy of a game, i would cry tears of joy. Rolento is a true killer character, cause you can't really tell if he IS good or bad. He wants to create a utopic society, which is all well and good, but he does it with the use of military force, which lends itself to Nazi imagery. To some people he could be a good guy, others a bad: it's not obvious what side he's on if everyone will have a different opinion. Such an awesome character.

Hmm... that whole thing about Rolento with wanting his own Dolls... thing is, Rolento hates methods like what the Psycho Drive uses ^^ In Street Fighter Alpha 3, he thinks of taking it to use as his own, but then when he finds out what it really does (brainwashes people and controls them, like it did to the Dolls), he decides to destroy it. Rolento firmly believes that if a utopian society is to exist, it can't exist through brainwashing like that.
Assuming his ending in SFA3 is canon at all (which I personally think it is, since it doesn't outright contradict anything and isn't a joke ending, either), what really happened probably is just that Rolento's intelligence found out about the drive and he decided not to go after it when he found out what it did (It's definate that he didn't destroy it himself, though. The characters who officially did that was Guile and Charlie in Guile's ending). Of course, this is just conjecture from the games and looking at everything else and all, though, but it seems like a lot of SFA3 endings generally happen so long as you remove the whole 'kill Bison and/or blow up the Psycho Drive' aspects from them. I dunno why Capcom decided to have everyone do that in his/her ending when in the true official storyline, only Charlie and Guile (with a little help from Chun-Li) did it -_-
Anyways, in Rolento's eyes, he is a good guy, yea:P Even though he's probably generally a bad guy (though admittingly, Capcom's latest portrayals of what Mad Gear really stands for have blurred the lines between good and evil quite a lot, though I'd still consider him a villain, myself, if a really three-dimensional one), the truth is that in all good storylines, never does someone do something just because they know it's evil and they want to be evil. Human beings aren't like that:P Even Hitler himself thought he was doing a good thing by paving the way for a master race (though we all know otherwise *shudder*). Course, while his goals and methods have a few nazi parallels (as Rolling Start points out), Rolento's not nearly as bad as Hitler, fortunately. Hitler would have been more than happy to do brainwashing. Actually, he kind of DID. Rolento, on the other hand, is against things like that. And Rolento's not racist. Mad Gear is very ethnically diverse (while it existed, of course), and El Gado (who's Arabian) is a member of Rolento's new army, too :P
I'm not sure if his SFA2 ending happened, either. If it did happen, Mayor Haggar probably squashed Rolento's little uprising really quickly, which would be what made Rolento decide that he needed more soldiers and armaments, which is what he's searching for in Street Fighter Alpha 3. That's just my own conjecture from the games, though. On a random note, his Final Fight Revenge ending is the exact same thing as his SFA2 ending, oddly enough.
I'd like Capcom to use Rolento again, too, myself. He's a cool character.
