Just trying get a good mix in the cast - in the initial 8 characters there's 2 "black" characters (Ember/Squaz), 2 "white" characters (Bruizer/Skatie), 3 other characters who don't really fit either category (Misuto, Pugi, Kayo), and 1 guy who who doesn't even have skin (Jondo). We intentionally avoided ties to nationalities or real-world cultures and just wanted to focus on having a varied and colorful cast.
All the characters are designed by Rob Porter (another black guy), and he's a successful artist who's done work for Capcom and other big companies, and I pretty much left him to design how he pleased. The only character I really had input on was Squaz who is a sort of caricature of myself.
As for Bruizer being the poster boy - his design is inspired/homage to Power Stone's lead character "Falcon" and we thought he would be a good fit to really hit the feel of those old Capcom games.
Game is built using Unity 4 (will eventually upgrade to 5)
How did you find this thread? It doesn't come up for me in the first ten pages of Google results if I google Combat Core.

Oh sweet i got a question for the dev. Why is the black male always some big burly or fat lame dude, like bigger than everyone else? I mean really sumo? We barely got boxing... not counting the stereotypical black characters.
Got a bunch of tracking/analytics for my Kickstarter and Website to see where traffic is coming from.
You guys looked like a fun bunch so figured I'd pop in and show some love
Ummm what's your offer? I might be looking for work if this thing fails, lol
You talkin about Squaz? He's an athletic strong build, like an NFL linebacker - not really a hulking or slow giant. On top of that, he's a sort of caricature of me and the things I love. And with Jove, really how many black sumo have you seen in a fighting game? In fact, I'm having trouble even thinking of many "fat lame" black characters in games at all. I can't help you if you don't find large characters appealing, but he's definitely not a stereotype design!
