Hispanics/Latinos in Fighting Games

I was thinking about doing a presentation on Hispanic/Latino players and characters in fighting games. I think I might have enough info about the characters, but you can still give me some info opinions on that if you wish, what I’m mainly concerned about are the players. All I know about really are Alex Valle and Ricky Ortiz(sp?). If you could provide me with names of top players in that category along with what games they’ve played that would be very helpful. Also any non-Hispanic players that speak Spanish too would be fine.

Thanx in advance.

Do they have to be in the US? Dark Geese is heavily involved in the Mexican King of Fighters community, to the point where he has traveled many times to popularize it’s competitiveness there. I’m sure he knows a lot of KOF killers.

Another good hispanic player in the U.S. is Puerto Rican Balrog (or PR Rog). He is currently being sponsored by gaming team DMG:

They don’t have to be in the US. Oh yeah I forgot about Puerto Rican Balrog.

welp, there’s moi.
just kidding.

but my game will level up cuz i’m learning through bumps n bruises from the masters.
i expect to transform into beast mode in a year or so myself.

all i can really think of right now

sado from every bleach fighter.
uh…vega from sf2-4.

dont forget my hero…

JR RODRIGUEZ!!!

Vega is from Spain. Can’t get any more hispanic than that.

I feel like Ramon is a gringo because I’m used to lucha libre wrestlers wearing masks and that eye patch…doesn’t count as a mask to me >o>

Robert Garcia is Italian.

Do you know where I can find an updated official tier list for KOF games and T6? When I do a google search for them all I get are threads with people arguing who is what tier.

GDLK Tier Lists - GDLK Game Forums

EDIT: didn’t realize this board had basically been abandoned/spambotted. If you jump to page 3, you’ll start seeing tier lists.

Got any Latino players who play Tekken?

Sir, this thread clearly belongs in the KOF section.

woof (El Salvador) - Arcana Heart 1/2/3, Breakers Revenge

gtfo’tta here!
really?
say it ain’t so.
you know, it’s impossible really to tell who the top latino players are since everyone is known by their username aliases…
yeah, i’m stating the obvious, but what can be done.
there’s probably a ton of top players that are hispanic, but we’ll never know.
i just assume every top player is japanese.
i sleep well assuming that prejudice belief.
me, my race isn’t hispanic btw,…i come from a very despised and hated race known as,…
the troll race.
at least i’m not from the gnome race,…
damn no good gnomes!

are there any top tournament female players out there, regardless if its in japan, u.s., or europe…? that is the real question.
if you got beasted by a female player,…would your machismo kick in and would it make you feel ashamed to lose badly to a girl?
somebody start a thread on this hypothetical question, asap!

my world has just been shattered

kusanagi the mexican player

he got second on melty blood in the last evo

I can’t remember his alias here in srk

That one mexican dude in rage of the dragons. He was cool, one mexican character that isn’t a lucha libre/grappler character lolz.
