Blade was a trooper working under the dictator M. Bison (rightly named a Bison Trooper). He was one of four Bison Troopers to be experimented and turned into cyborgs. Their mission is to eliminate Guile and his forces. In actuality, Blade is actually Gunloc, Guile's brother and was on an undercover mission for Guile to find out more about Shadoloo. In battle, Blade uses attacks that involves knives and a tazer.

Blade and his alternate versions have many times been compared to several characters in the Mortal Kombat game series. Because of Blade's knife-based special moves, he was blasted as being a cheap knock off of Kano. The cyborgs as a whole were similar in appearance but had color coded uniforms (basically, palette swaps of each other with little difference in moves), causing many to see them a poor impersonations of the ninja characters (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile etc.) from Mortal Kombat. When Capcom redid Street Fighter: The Movie for the home consoles, the cyborgs were omitted. Mortal Kombat has multiple meanings. ...
