So he's Guile you're saying?
How come MK got a black man with God Like Powers but Street Fighters best black representation is a Dancehall caricature?

They should stop creating Black characters then or stop being lazy.
Nagoyuki is from Guilty Gear.
That doesn't work either. Final Fantasy XVI didn't have any black characters in it and was met with criticism for it.
Then stop being lazy. Do your research talk to black Martial artists or writers. It's not hard if you actually try. They just want to do things with no effort and get no backlash for it.

In 1998, Eddie's hair was era appropriate as dudes with braids were cool back then.

I mean if you want to create accurate characters you really need those sorts of people in the writing room. Have you seen how much of anime / video games portray female character? They usually are some otaku's fantasy of how a woman should act. It's not only black characters that get poor representation.
I guess you call it lazy. I call it being a product of who made the media. You likely have a bunch of indigenous nerdy introverted people writing these games so the character don't reflect worldly realism. If a incel wrote a romance novel it wouldn't be wild to expect it to be filled with misogyny. It being that is a product of who made it rather than laziness.
I still call it laziness, you know women, black people ect exist. So maybe pick their brains a bit? It's not really that hard to fathom.

Black people damn near don't exist in that country. They are far under 1% of the population. If the people in question aren't actually involved with the making of the product just speaking to someone isn't going amount to much. Picking someone's brain doesn't make you qualify for much.
There's an entire black owned anime studio out there, hire them as consultants.
Who did they consult?Which is exactly Capcom both did when designing DeeJay & Kimberly
