You seem upset, do you need to elaborate further? How mad are you? I would say your’e going about an 8 out of 10 for getting mad at a Street Fighter related topic in the general Street Fighter discussion section, do you need help?
I’ve been asking for Paddy McSpud for a couple years now, actually. I would play the shit out of that character, just think Brad Pitt in Snatch, basically.
Just pretend Remy is from Montreal instead of France. There you go, you got a Canadian in SF.
I’m a fat asian dude and I think honda is badass so Iduno b.
Reminds me of Andrew Graham from G Gundam.
I’m satisfied with how all of the Street Fighter characters are portrayed. I see nothing racist about it at all, honestly.
Portraying a nation stereotypical isn’t necessarily racist. People really pick and choose what stereotypes are *oh so racist *and which are fine; it’s usually white people trying to second guess how offended non-white people will be and pre-emptively apologising in an attempt to seem open-minded. I bet more people would find Dee Jay more of an offensive stereotype than Guile, and none of those people would be Jamaican; they’d just find it funny.
So anyway, it’s just an easy way of giving them character. It’s trying to represent warriors from around the world in a fun and cartoony way, not make a social commentary. It is funny sometimes how they get so muddled up, though. Dudley saying “trash” has already been mentioned, but it always seemed funny to me how Cammy’s background in SSF2 looked more like a continental-style castle than an English ones, and how the aurora could be seen in the background even though that’s only viewable from the most northern tip of Scotland, not anywhere in England. They say she’s from England not Britain, yet use the British flag rather than the English one. It’s also funny how just about everyone from outside of Asia must have blonde hair.
At least the Brazilians in Capcom games aren’t late to social functions or do jiu-jitsu.
Like someone already said, I think it needs even more diversity- there are so many characters in ssf4, why are half of them from the same 2 countries/geographic regions?
To me stereotypes are very funny, and even healthy, as long as they are being used in a playful, and not in a hateful manner, which the SF series seems to be doing alright at.
I always wanted to see Blanka as a fearsome wild creature and defender of Amazon, just like the character Lobo Guará from a brazilian comic book, wich turned into a mutant through Nazi experiments and since then defend the forest from invaders and other bad guys.
Overall I just wanted a more seriously developed Blanka, instead of having he walking with Dan and not being fearsome cause they redesigned him with a dumb face, but it does not bother me that much.
pherai has the best post in the thread.
Also, Blanka isn’t Brazilian. He ended up in Brazil after a plane crash. Huuuuuuge difference.
I think the only character that “bugs” me is Rufus. I’m from America, but he doesn’t bug me because he is a fat biker to maybe mock obesity in the USA. The thing that bugs me is Capcom wasted giving such an awesome move set/attacks to such an ugly/dumb character model. Most people are turned off from playing him entirely simply because he DOES look stupid.
I would’ve just preferred he never had been made and we got Yun instead to fill in his gap since they are similar. I could have maybe handled him being a fatty too if they had given him a somewhat cool outfit and hair. I would have left him fat, given him a fo hawk haircut with some 5 o clock shadow beard, and thrown in his original concept design outfit. Heck I would have preferred his original concept altogether I suppose.
Thats it.I want a Maori character from New Zealand that has 8 kids, wears no shoes, dirty white singlet and track-pants(Called sweat-pants elsewhere).
Special:Throws massive punches and shit everywhere and yells “COOK THE MAN SOME FUCKING EGGS”
Ultra:Throws people to the ground, stomps on em a bit and breaks a chair on their back whilst yelling “YOU DO AS YOUR FUCKING TOLD”
Also has to be called Jake.
…
DO IT CAPCOM.
just trhowing that the incan culture was from peru, not mexico
mexico had the aztecs and mayans plus some others minor “tribes” that i wouldnt list
STFU, Rufus is awesome!
Complaining about the stereotypes the Japanese have about the rest of the world? That’s racist, man!
One of our stereotypes is not acurate and the other one says quesadilla a lot, the original stage portrays us as a sand land with random houses.
At least he isn’t a mariachi.
Just saying as a Mexican, I LOVE El Fuerte. He combines the two best aspects of Mexican Culture wrestling and food. He could have been a speedy gonzalez type character or some sort of drug dealer and it have been worse.
He is. He always runs back and forth really fast with an annoying squeaky shoe sound and annoying squeaky voice.
The only problem that I have with the SF stereotypes is that there isn’t a Krav Maga fighter yet
