Brody inspiration for Jeffery?

As far as I can tell, neither article discussed the reason for Brad Burn's name. The second article talked about why they added Brad and Go (they want a character specialized in hitting and throwing, respectively) and, briefly, why Taka is not in Evo (he just doesn't fit the game system/too hard to portray him realistically). He did say that if people want Taka enough, "one of these days, he might make an appearance"...

I read in another article before that the reason why Brad has that name is because he wants an American-sounding Ring Name, hence, it's not his real name. That why his name doesn't sound like Italian.

 

I'd really like to see Taka back. He was a cool character with brutal moves.

 

Yeah, they're not in there.
I guess since Vanessa's nationality isn't known, they should've given her a much less weseternized name. Then again, I've met people from Hong Kong named Agnes. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif
