Encyclopedia : U : UR : URI : Urien (Street Fighter)
Urien is a character in the Street Fighter III fighting game series.
Appearance
Urien (like Gill, his brother) is dressed like an ancient Greek olympic athlete, wearing only a thong, although he is shown wearing business attire during the character introduction that preceeds every match in Street Fighter III.Story
As a Street Fighter III character, Urien does not have an official biography. He is the inferior brother of Gill and tried to claim the leadership of his organization, the Illuminati. When he finally succeeded, he learned that there was an Emperor outranking him, his brother Gill. Now Urien still longs to overthrow Gill by creating his own army with the G Project. He kidnapped one of the children Chun-Li looks after so she could get back in shape. While his brother wields fire and ice, he can wield lightning and make his skin metal.Techniques
- Metallic Sphere – Urien will unleash a purplish/greyish projectile forward which electrecutes the opponent. He can also fire off this projectile by angles depending on the punch used to perform this move.
- Chariot Rush – Urien will rush forward and attempts to hit the opponent with a shoulder block. The kick used to perform the move determines the strength of the attack as well as how far Urien will perform the move.
- Violence Knee Drop – Urien will backflip forward and come straight down with a knee drop hitting crouching opponents.The kick used to perform this move determines how far Urien will flip.
- Dangerous Headbutt – Urien will take a small hop forward and do a vicious headbutt, which hits crouching opponents.
- Tyrant Slaughter – First of Urien's Super Arts. He will perform 5 consecutive Chariot Rushes and will follow up with a Lariat knocking his opponent down.
- Temporal Thunder – Second of Urien's Super Arts. He will charge up energy and releases a LARGE Mettallic Sphere forward. However the longer the Sphere flies forward, the smaller it gets and less hits it will inflict.
- Aegis Reflector – Last Of Urien's Super Arts. He will release a stationary, mirror-like projectile. It can damage the opponent if they make contact, and can also reflect or absorb other projectiles. This is generally considered his best super attack, as it can be used to force the opponent into positions where they have very little or no chance of blocking Urien's attacks properly.
Trivia
Wikibooks has a manual, textbook or guide to this subject:
- No one is certain how his name is pronounced, but sources say it is pronounced (YOU-ree-en) as in the name "Julian", as shown as when his name is spelled out in katakana.
- Most of Urien's special moves are toned-down versions of Gill's.
- Urien is considered to be a part of the second highest tier in the Street Fighter III series, thanks in part to his Aegis Reflector super art, which allows him to set up a variety of unblockable juggles.
