Overview

Zen and Singh are twin brothers from India who fight as one, embodying the harmony of balance and aggression. Raised in a temple that valued both martial and spiritual training, the two developed styles that complement each other perfectly. Zen embodies calm, meditation, and defensive mastery, while Singh represents strength, passion, and offensive prowess. When fighting together, their movements flow as if choreographed by years of shared practice, making them one of the most formidable duos in the Street Fighter roster. Though independent fighters, their true strength shines when side by side, turning every battle into a dance of brotherhood and unity.

Personality

Zen is calm, reflective, and deeply spiritual, preferring diplomacy and meditation before conflict. Singh, in contrast, is passionate, bold, and eager to test his strength against worthy opponents. Despite their differences, the two share a profound respect for balance, often finishing each other’s sentences and moves alike. They value honor, tradition, and the power of family above all else. Together, they represent the duality of stillness and action, with Zen tempering Singh’s fiery nature and Singh urging Zen toward decisive engagement. This yin-yang dynamic defines their strength, both in combat and in their unshakable bond as brothers.
