No, that’s not what racism is for the last time. For someone who claims to be all caught up over a word being used correctly, you’re not doing a good job of proving you know what the words mean yourself.
I’m done arguing with you over something you can easily Google.
I’m from Africa.
I like Laura!
BTW I’m also white so fuck you.
All of you suck for ruining this thread with Tumbler bullshit.
I’m hype because Laura does BJJ and she looks amazing. Unless her gameplay is awful, I’m looking at a main here.
You pulled the definition of racism from Websters and didn’t even bother to pull its definitions ‘prejudice’ correctly, either.
Definition 1:
Definition 2:
When it comes to racism, ‘prejudice’ does not mean what you claim it to mean. It refers to a specific form of prejudice.
Having a preference for one ethnic group for no other reason than liking them, is not racism.
The only real racists in life are people who discriminate against charge characters and pick characters with motion inputs only. You can call it bullshit like it’s your ‘preference’ or just a ‘characteristic’ you can relate to, but that’s just another word for racism. I’m on to you motherfuckers. CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE!
This is why I hope Laura takes after Blanka and is a charge character… And transexual.
Well, I’m racist in this case. I don’t mind playing trannies, but fuck charge characters.
And you’re still wrong for the last time.
I’m glad to see a reduction on filthy ass downbacks. World better without them.
It doesn’t make me uncomfortable. Its just irrelevant and has gone on for too long. Yes there are various skin tones in Brazil and who cares if Laura is team light skin or team dark skin? Nothing more needs saying.
As for veering the discussion, there’s nowhere to veer it. The reason its gone on so much about something pointless like skin tone is because there’s no footage to discuss move info. Its just turned in to another Mika’s arse is sexist, are Karin/Sakura waifu and Abel’s prototype art makes people in to underage sex fiends type discussion. We’re not discussing Street Fighter. We’re using Street Fighter to discuss politics.
My only real downback frustrations are with SFIV guile and balrog. Makes me want to fucking puke by now when I play against them.
You can say it as much as you want… It doesn’t make it true.
Charge characters of the “hold downback, charge, perform safe charge special, repeat” type are the cure to insomnia but a character with a command grab charge special would be interesting. Would love to see the dynamic of Yatagarasu’s Hanzo gameplay in here.
I swear @VersatileBJN007 is like the new Ash crimson. Like look at what he/she has done to this thread! This is what I’m talking about when I said in my earlier comment about the more innocent time in gaming before things became mainstream and shit like this became the norm. Like @Hawkingbird said. This isn’t a game that’s trying to be thought provoking, challenge societal norms, get political etc. It’s cool over the top and stylized characters beating each other up in with epic and over the top moves. Take it no further than that people. So lets ignore that person and any other discussion about race or skin tone, and get back to gameplay mechanics and what not.
Now I remember talk about her having a projectile along with a command throw. Only other character I can think of that had that was Urien. Are having such tools very effective or give a character and edge?
ITT:
White people arguing with an Asian person and a black person about what racism is;
trying to invalidate Asian person and black person’s valid reasoning and personal experiences because of a definition that another white person wrote in an online dictionary;
unironically believe all of the vapid bullshit they’re spewing.
Yeesh, at all of this…
Anyways I hope her Voice Actress has an accent. Anyone wanna speculate on ANYTHING else? Is she good vs bad? Charge vs motion? Potential connection to Blanka and Dan or just another elemental fighter (there’s like 8 fire ones so why not another element like lightning or ice?) What are her opinions on green men and Canada?
I’m guessing she will have command grabs you can combo into.
I’m guessing she will have chain command grab combos like Nina from SFxT.
Probably a counter in there.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she was one of the few characters who could cause hard knockdown off a non-super considering her fighting style.
This thread WTF… Get this racism nonsense outta here this definitely isn’t the place for it. People acting like SF represents places well, yes coz blonde ninjas with claws are everywhere in Spain…
Laura is dope. Great addition imo, the hair is weird coz it looks like it should be either fully done or none at all, but I can fux with it. Looking like she got into a fight at the salon while getting the corn rows done and shit…
Electricity is neat too, hope it means Blanka is full on replaced.
can’t wait for some gameplay footage.
Okay, can mod start banning people or something? You want to create a thread about Racial Diversity In Gaming? Go ahead, hell I might even post in it. Stop derailing the topic.
How do you know a white person wrote the definition? Are you saying only white people can write dictionaries?

From what little we can see from the screenshots, I agree with the people that say that Laura looks like a hybrid grappler. If she is a BJJ/Capoeira mix, can we expect another character with strong normals (from the Capoeira) and command grabs like R.Mika? Will the playstyles be too close? How will they differentiate the two? Lots of speculation.
I’m jonesing for that eventual reveal trailer but Ono’s trust and confidence has been destroyed with this leak. He missed out on subjecting the world to potentially 2 weeks of the longest, most drawn out fake Blanka teaser pics that he could possibly muster.
Nothing that hasn’t already been stated before, just gotta wait for now.
