Balrog says hi
Reminds me of a comedy bit I heard once where the comedian was talking about how the lower down you go on the socioeconomic ladder, the better the people were in a boxing ring. The dude noted that some of the best boxers in the world were white, Irish dudes, but there were black guys that could knock the crap out of them - which was all well and good, but there were Hispanic dudes that could beat the black boxers.
His conclusion: You know that somewhere out there is an American Indian dude that can kick the ever-living shit out of EVERYONE.
Jokes aside, screw the wokies over on Reeeeeeesetera. Unless every new character in any SF game is a non-binary transgender womyn of color, that's able to pull a touch of death combo from any position on the field, they'll find something wrong with them.
the comedy bit you are talking about was in reference to actual downtrodden groups. Back when the Irish were discriminated in the US, there were a lot of good Irish boxers, then blacks, now its hispanics that are prominent. Maybe in a decade white guys will become prominent boxers, for obvious reasons.
Worldwide, Eastern Europeans and former Societ Republics.
And funnily, there are a few great Japs.
Inoue is awesome.

Oh I agree, but I was talking about the US only. World wide, certain nationalities of hispanic are in there too. All of them live[d] an impoverished underdog way of life that they have to fight for it. They have to have the drive to box well because it becomes your ticket to success. Fight to win.
I dont mean "the school of hard knocks" or any of that American style BS, but an actual impoverished downtrodden life.
GAMERS RISE UP for real this time
So Jim Thorpe?
those people dont play videogames, they are capturing the culture.
I wouldn't be against Felicia being added to SF. Or just a new Darkstalkers.
Too bad they are so morally bankrupt that they don't do more than watch. There'd be no problem then.
It's a classic "damned if they do, damned if they don't" scenario, because if they throw in a white dude as a fighter then they catch flak for YET ANOTHER WHITE DUDE. If they throw in the magical trans girl or some other wokeness bait then they catch shit for the diversity insert not being diverse enough. It's never enough for the wokies, and it never will be.
and now we know they were adding them because theyre all rapists ( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)
US, Jamaica, and Mexico respectively.
Looking over Street Fighter's history as a whole, there's a less-than-zero number of white dudes from outside of the US, which I'm sure the Woke would completely ignore if you pointed it out to them . :D
