Biography[]
Concept[]
Although it is officially unconfirmed, there are a number of potential evidence to suggest Simone was inspired by Linn Kurosawa, a main character from the licensed Alien vs. Predator game developed by Capcom. They are both female cyborgs whose weapon of choice is a samurai sword, both uses Kenpo combined with Ki, one of Linn's special moves Kattouha (滑刀波 ) is Simone special move as well (as mentioned in the latter's Capcom Fighters Network profile) and many lines in Simone's Japanese biography are copied from Linn's Japanese biography.
Story[]
Simone is a troublesome mercenary that gives assistance to Delta Red in some missions. She has a strong will and a passion to complete her missions. Part of her body is robotic, making her a cyborg, with superhuman power, but also making her heavier than normal. Still, Simone has great speed and agility, handling her missions with a sharp Samurai Sword. She is also good at using firearms, preferring to use a large-caliber Magnum automatic pistol, and knows Kenpō. Her special move is Kattouha (滑刀波 ). She is also able to perform air throws.
In Cannon Spike, Simone fights alongside Arthur, a veteran mercenary who acts like her guardian and is the only person she trusts.
Trivia[]

- Despite only being indirectly connected to the Street Fighter series, Simone was given a profile in the Shadaloo Combat Research Institute character guide.[1]
