A quick take on Luke, the new Street Fighter.

That collection of blondes pic is pretty misleading. Outside of Ed, falke and maybe g all of those characters are at least 10 years old

Yeah, that part is true and I've said as such in other similar threads about that point of contention. The thing is, it still reflects SF's history of continuously adding more and more white blondes.

In SFV, while newly created characters for the game have only been about 3 blondes, the series' legacy has like 10+ and most are in V. I don't have a problem with most of them from a gameplay perspective, but that's a quarter of 1 game's roster and as a series whole, that's still almost about the same percentile for their entire series' character roster and that's bad and weird as fukk coming from a Japanese company (albeit in other fashions, it's not as weird, all things considering...)

In contrast, Tekken's roster is immensely more diverse and the most predominant culture of the roster is asian with a heavy lean towards Japanese characters, especially as for the main characters of the series. And that makes much more sense, all things considering and no one bytches about it either.

Caccom is lame as hell for pushing these bland white supremacist designs that no one asked for. Who are they doing this for, if you go to any fighting game tournaments it’s full of black males. And why do the characters look like plasticine in Street Fighter V ?

Tekken has always been forward thinking with their character designs. Them and SNK have the dopest designs.

fukk Capcom, they know exactly what they are doing. Every other company but the most popular one , which is debatable now with Bandai Namco about to take over, is able to realize America isn't just white blondes.

Think most of the new characters introduced in V are forgettable...

I disagree overall. The initial 4 new characters were immensely better than IV's initial 4. G, Zeku and Abigail were solid new entries as well. And other characters from their other franchises like Lucia and Akira are dope.

Jake Paul really has characters designed after him now
if they wanted a white blonde guy they should've done Donald trump
Make him like an M Bision type character that is weaker and sucks the health out of his opponents

 

[Kaydigi]

fukk season V…

 

[ORDER_66]

Why not bring back characters from street fighter 1???

 

[Anti-Anime]

I don't really expect better from Caccom

 

[Ruck]

They made the only dark haired white a blonde

Can't make this shyt up

 

[Neuromancer]

I hope ya'll not still playing this ass water. Capcom is finished.

They re-release MVC2 or CVS2 on the PS5 or Series and they shutting everything down instantly.

Street Fighter has one of the most diverse communities there is out there and they basically went with an alt right Ken/boxer type.

Talk about out touch.

Even white people don't like playing with these boring archtypes.
