After reaching Top Grade at Shotokan street
fighting, he then turned his attention to Ninsitsu. A resident DJ at the
roughest night spot in Italy, few people disagree with his selection of
music, which is a matter of fact terrible.

Game Highlights
Here Comes A New
Challenger
Sgiosa Capeli steps out of the disco. The tall Italian searches
the dangerous streets for someone to fight with. He found out that the
tournament has begun and he must participate.
In
the sunny street below a software house's building, one lonely woman
stands by the fountain enjoying the cold water. Luisa is the first
challenger, although she should have considered taking her bikini
to a nice day at the beach instead. |
Backstreet
Boys
Further down the road, the urban surroundings are even more desolate.
This is a common place for truck drivers to gather, and Pinen
is just one driver that is yearning for a brawl.
He
gets what he asked for as Sgiosa turns defense into attack and gives
this fat bully driver a lesson that he's not going to forget anytime soon. |
Self Inflicted Pain
The most difficult fight for the fiery Italian is when he must retrace
his steps and fight against his own self. Fighting against an enemy
that knows all your strengths and weaknesses and maybe also your
thoughts is not easy at all. Still the determined fighter just barely
makes it alive.
|
A
Kick In The Face
There is one more enemy in the city. Tony is an enemy who has the
same origins as Sgiosa Capeli and can resort to a nifty trick or two.
All his dark magick tricks amount to nothing though as he still
gets the DJ treatment of having his face kicked down to the floor.
|
Wild Things Run In The Forest
Mr. Capeli learns about another feared combatant running wild inside the
forest, so he goes there to find him. He is faced by Macalosh, an ugly
Native American who can transform into an enormous beast. However, once again his thunder
clap attack is too weak to defeat the disco pulse.
|
A Veil of Mystery
Just behind the forest lies an old castle, and as the Italian traveller
approaches it, another slick fighter named Ombra steps out to stop
him. He may hide in the shadows all day, but in the end Ombra has to
run for his life as Sgiosa keeps walking victoriously forward on top of
the castle ramparts.
|
Jump Around The Castle
The castle is inhabited by even more nefarious creatures though
as Capeli soon finds out when he gets attacked by Keo. As well
as using spring enabled shoes to gain an advantage, Keo can also shape
shift into the moat monster and throw himself at his adversaries.
Sgiosa is not impressed, he simply punches his way to victory against
every moat monster attack.
|
Say
Cheez
Back in the forest, it's Sgiosa Capeli vs Lola. Two hot headed examples
of the kind of people that you can find on these dangerous streets.
There's one difference; it's man against woman. Lola may be a leggy model,
but she's also a good fighter that can throw the occasional fireball.
Fighting
fire with fire, Sgiosa achieves victory to overcome his last enemy
and establish himself as the baddest DJ on the streets of Italy.
He's a fair winner though, as he invites everyone for a photo and pays
for a first round of beers so that the celebrations can begin. Hurrah!
|
Note: The story has been
described from Sgiosa Capeli's perspective only here. However in Dangerous
Streets it is possible to experience the game with a further 7 fighters.
