Is Balrog the best Black fighting game character?

[KaosMIDIProphet]

Bruce Irvin from the Tekken series is cool

[Kros]

El Duck King.

[blueterror]

Storm and tj combo are uber top tiers in their respective games.

I don’t see what the big deal is. Look at real fighting leagues and you will quickly see how under-represented blacks are in fighting games.

Then again, it is Japan, which doesn’t have any concept of racial sensitivity.

shaqhille oneal is the best black fighting game character.

i mean i know balrog has his fight money and all, but shaq has a few championship rings and probably a lot more money than balrog has in his fight money.

oh and shaq was also a deputy … can’t forget about that!

SHAQ FU SON!

:lol: LULZ.

And guys, try not to be so ignorant. Dudley isn’t black, he’s Indian.

And if you must know, No, Balrog isnt the best black fighting game character. TJ Combo from Killer Instinct would rip him in half.

I think Dudley is meant to be the Chris Eubank of the sf world just like Balrog is meant to be the Mike Tyson of the sf world and even Deejay as Billy Blanks or my favourite…Dan as steven seagal.

But yeh everytime I play as Dudley it reminds me of Chris eubank

also Combo would pawn balrog…Combo can kick lol

I guess its difficult for most to imagine a black person who doesn’t rap, is geared out, acts like a thug or talks in ebonics.

It can be difficult. The only black kid in my high school was a drug dealer. On the other hand, my only friend when I worked at Circuit City was half-black half-indian, and liked anime and video games.

Stereotypes exist for a reason, but I love when people break them. I was really surprised to meet a lot of cool black guys at street fighter tournaments.

Back on the subject, I think the Japanese believe that black boxers are the best boxers. That’s not really stereotyping blacks, it’s more stereotyping the best boxers. Jason Osma has instantaneous motion!!!1

[ClydeByrd]

Khushnood Butt is a true mack! Ya’ll forget!

Shaq Diesel…YES!

[lordofgod]

Capcom & SNK are horrible with making black characters.

Namco & Sega is like the only good one in making them.

Zas is da man!!!

[infrequent_lurker]

You talk about the “Best Black Character” but you don’t mention S.F.A. 3 Birdie?! For shame.

[System_1]

Yes he is

[waynoes]

Balrog…dudley… hard pick

[Mr.BottledChi]

Dude, im black and you’re a retard for making this thread.
What does it matter what colour he is ?

It makes me sick, like in the music world, black people have their own music awards. What so its not good enough to stand with other music ? Or is it seen as more special or what ?
I just promotes conflict and difference… difference in a bad way.

And guys, try not to be so ignorant. Dudley isn’t black, he’s Indian.

And if you must know, No, Balrog isnt the best black fighting game character. TJ Combo from Killer Instinct would rip him in half.

mkay before you start calling people ignorant research your “facts”. if you take the time to search the forums you will fine a thread asking if dudley is black or not, and you will eventually find he is based on a boxer named chris eubank. This man was half jamaican half european or something along those lines. Its safe to say that he is in fact black. As for music awards, hey we have OUR OWN MUSIC AWARDS. wtf shouldnt we be happy? our music on a diff level than the rest and we STILL make it into other music awards. Just sayin…

As for best black fighting game character? Well I like dudley. He’s classy and super strong. very likeable character. But lets not forget about Zack from DOA, i mean that fucker is crazy XD

[xEGAxBeastkingx]

I’d say its a tie between Zasalamel from Soul Calibur and Zack from Dead or Alive.

[Squirtguns]

What about Afro Thunder?

[Andre_Fellipe_Martins]

OHs I’m sorry I’s forget we can’t let dem white folk hear us!

If your worried about discussing black fictional characters on a pretty well modded board I guess the racist are doing their job.

I bring this up because there is a good amount of black players in top level play, and its surprising that no one has broken through to the development side or at least become well known enough to get asked for some input.

One day there will be at least one person trying to explain to Japanese devs that we do more than box, play basketball, and dance.

It could be worse I guess (T.Hawk, El Fuerte).

Look to Blanka!

Im not a green beast guy! ç__ç

And Sean plays with a ball, maybe because brasil is good at soccer, but it is a volleyball, wtf.

Japanese need to study more other countries.

[Nini_Heart]

Viper is.

[RyuReiatsu]

Viper is.

Viper’s black? I thought she was hispanic or something.
