Twelve

Twelve(トゥエルブ) is a character in the Street Fighter series. He first appeared in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and is voiced by Lawrence Bayne.

Story
Twelve is the ultimate result of Gill's "G-Project," a biological warfare operation headed by Dr. Kure and overseen by Gill's brother, Urien, whom Twelve considers to be his father. A mimetic genetic creation, Twelve is able to assume the forms of other people and change the shape of any part of his body to fit the task at hand. He is also extremely resistant to damage and slavishly obedient, making him the perfect soldier. Once Twelve was declared a success, mass production began, and the original was sent on a special mission: locate and retrieve Necro, the original G-Project prototype, and Effie, Necro's companion and the one who freed him from the laboratory. In the game, when Necro encounters Twelve, Twelve is accompanied by several more of his "brothers" before he decides to fight Necro himself.

In his ending, Twelve is hinted to have gained sentience over his programmed obedience.

Appearance
Whilst he can theoretically take on virtually any form, Twelve's default appearance is a milky-white semisolid male human. His body is generally smooth and featureless. His head is equally smooth and sloped like a helmet with a pair of thin, black eyes set above an expressionless, narrow mouth. Though he can alter his shape, the transformation is not perfect: he will maintain his coloring even on details such as clothing.

Gameplay
Twelve's unusual fighting style extends to more than simply transforming his limbs into axes, spikes and other weapons. He is the only character with an air dash, which can alter the arcs of his jumps. He can also "crawl" on the floor, allowing him to remain mobile while evading many ranged attacks. Twelve can also render himself invisible for a short time using his taunt. His X.C.O.P.Y. super move transforms him into a copy of the opponent, allowing him to use any of that characters' standard moves.

Communication
Aside from copying his opponents' quips and uttering "target" and "complete", Twelve is only capable of expressing himself in a binary code cypher (00001 = A, 00010 = B, etc). His victory speeches are:


 * 01011.01111 = "KO"
 * 01011.01001.01100.01100 = "KILL"
 * 10000.00001.01001.01110 = "PAIN"
 * 00101.01101.00001.01111 = "LMAO"
 * 00100.00101.00001.10100.01000 = "DEATH"
 * 00101.11010.01010.01111.00010 = "EZ JOB"
 * 00110.01001.01110.01001.10011.01000 = "FINISH"
 * 10100.01000.00101.00101.01110.00100 = "THE END"

Trivia

 * While 3rd Strike is the only game in which Twelve is a playable character, he has also appeared in SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash and Urien's ending in Capcom Fighting Evolution.
 * Twelve is the heaviest character in the entire Street Fighter series.
 * When choosing to fight against him in the arcades, Twelve is misspelled as "Tweleve". This typo is fixed in the game console ports.
 * When playing the Bonus Stage where one destroys the SUV, Twelve can attempt to copy the SUV with his X.C.O.P.Y super move. If he attempts this, however, he will simply grab his head and scream. This could mean several things, such as transforming his entire body into an inanimate object is impossible for him, or he could even be breaking the fourth wall, letting the player know that copying the SUV would be entirely pointless.
