the other characters I want to quickly say
-Sean is 1/4 Japanese(Sean Masuda!) and mainly Brazilian(aka might be naturally be dark or might be the offspring down the line of a slave)
-Helena is a chick and I’m a dude so it’s hard to look up to her
-Dudley is of Indian decent(so you guys aren’t stuck with Dhalsim)
-Most other characters black are HEAVY Jamican/Brazilian(looking at you Eddie) or sports players that don’t speak proper English and are brutes
-Def jam and WWE…dosen’t really belong on SRK so I’ll keep it that way
So tell me why the lack I mean GENERAL LACK of black character that some one can be proud of?
Rules:
1#Can’t be a tool(in his plot can’t be used)
2#Can’t be a Brusier aka Just in it to F*** something up
3#Dosen’t just blend into the crowd
4# MORALS
5#Dose not wear a jersey or use sports related attacks in his style
6#Speaks properly unless he’s from another country
7#no dread headed Capoeria users
8# dosen’t really represent any country if it be Jamaica, A place in Africa, and especially a rap/gang related place in America
Mortal Kombat
-every game starting from MK2 has a black character (Jax, Cyrax, Kai(?), Darrius, etc)
-Darrius was a character created solely for a reason “game needs a black character and we cant use Jax this time”
Also Tekken has black characters. Dont tell me you cant be proud of Raven; and then there is Bruce Irwin
Mortal Kombat - Jax and Kai, Cyrax
SNK - Seth, Duck King, Mr. Big, Heavy D!, Lucky, Brian Battler
Misc:
TJ Combo - KI
Malcom Fox - Way of the Warrior
Mr. Jones - Rage of the Dragons
Blaze - Eternal Champions
Zack - DOA
War Machine - MvC
Venom in GG is both black and gay. He’s a like a super minority representative. He kinda seems egyptian to me, guess it’s the eye symbol painted on his hair. He’s also awesome.
But then again, you could make the argument that all these “dark skin, white hair”(and there’s a lot… K’, Setsuna, Krizalid and so on) anime characters don’t really count. And some of them are more “tan”. Still, Setsuna and K’ are freaking cool.
What about Raven in Tekken? A bit silly perhaps… I remember him calling Yoshimitsu a fake ninja or something
Edit: When is Cyrax shown without the robot costume?
All SNK characters I mentioned are african american as stated in the KOF Mook profiles. Only SNK character I know of who is not would be Marco Rodriguez (Brazilian).
This seems like a redundant thread, and I swear SRK had one of these last year. Soon all groups will get their own thread, I can just see myself opening up a Native American thread now.
Me: So who knows of any good Native American role models in fighting games? Because that’s totally the whole point of fighters, and I feel completely weird using a female or a Japanese guy like Ryu.
Random person: T. Hawk, Night Wolf, Chief Thunder.

What’s wrong with Boxer? Embrace his blackness, I still think Capcom should have given him a 50 Cent inspired alternate outfit in SFIV, maybe the Super version will reward me for my dedication. Playing to stereotypes is what Capcom does, you are lucky he doesn’t have a bucket of KFC and drink a glass of grape drink before a match. I’m still waiting for T. Hawk to open a Casino and take a drag of that peace pipe myself.
Ninja Edit: Also on the Raven thing you are kinda being nit picky, a tool, seriously? Raven is fucking boss, probably the coolest black person in fighters due to what he was based on.
