How come MK got a black man with God Like Powers but Street Fighters best black representation is a Dancehall caricature?

And is a direct reference to Nigel Benn the Dandy Boxer.

And you know what netherealm characters don’t have, agency. Outside of saving the world they do nothing.

Jax = nikka hasn’t chased Kano since MK3
Jacqui = military kid that’s it
Jade = last we saw her she only wanted to get dikked down
Tanya = still only wants to pussied up by mileena
Kai = irrelevant
Cyrax = Robo Slave
Geras = Golem Slave
Darrius = probably the one with any agency or motivation now just a Smash Bros Trophy assist

Netherrealm may good designers but when it comes to giving characters life they suck. Compare that to just Dudley:

More character in that summary than all of netherrealm combined. The was over 20 years ago now Capcom just goes deeper.
Jax-Dope he’s basically MK’s Guile.
Jacqui-She’s alright wish she had more character.
Jade-She’s not black
Tanya-Ok at best
Kai-irrelevant
Cyrax-Dope design and my favorite robo ninja.
Geras-Boring character and design.
Darrius-irrelevant

Just uncreative designers


Call me crazy but I don’t see an issue with ANY of the black male’s hairstyles


They’re embracing a natural loc style. So what? Thats the style many young black men embrace the past decade.

Not that I really thought it needed confirmation
I always thought he was clearly black
If anything I want confirmation that he's based off of Chris Eubank cause that's always been the rumor


Thanks. I thought he was black too but used to get shyt from a lot of people on gaming forums whenever I said he was.

Stats aren't a story. Jax's story in MK11 alone is more story than all of Dudley's story of being a replacement for Balrog.

Bruh Those “stats” influences how he acts and reacts to external forces ensuring he doesn’t deviate from character.

The emasculation of a strong black male to quivering mess only to be saved by multiple white gods is character? Midway era Jax was always displayed as powerful and shown a sense of direction.

Damn near half that roster became revenants but none of them get ptsd? Don’t bring up his wife, Sub-Zero lost his brother and best friend, Scorpion lost his family and whole fukkin clan twice, and they are just fine. Cassie her lost mom and got over that just fine. They could’ve made Jax a more cynical and world worn but nah they turned him into bytch wearing spanx.

What's Dudley's character arc exactly? Can you break it down?:jbhmm:
:jbhmm: This is more background than character arc but :manny:
Dudley is an English boxer who was born into a wealthy English family. His father was a highly-paid former athlete who turned successful businessman, adding more to his already vast wealth. From the time he was a little boy, Dudley wanted to be a fighter, but his family told him he was too small to compete. Later, his father lost his business and the family fortune. The losses prompted Dudley to take up professional boxing to earn back lost assets. Although told that he was a bit small to compete in heavyweight divisions, this prompted Dudley to train into a formidable boxer both in speed and skill, and was successful in bringing his family back to affluence.When Dudley finally discovers who purchased his father's prized Jaguar, he enters the buyer's tournament to get it back. Although he didn't win the third World Warrior tournament, Gill was impressed enough to give the Jaguar back, ordering Kolin to give the car keys to Dudley. Dudley has been knighted, receiving the honorary title of "Sir" after making a comeback and winning the championship title. He was then invited into a contest that will be held in the presence of the royal family. He decides to travel the world and improve himself before the day of the match.
