your logic is endless…
A friend of mine insists that he is a realy tanned british guy, because he doesnt realy have black features lol he haves the stereotypical british features XD
I have always heard Indian.
Poll to settle this ish?
Also, I say Indo-British.
Hmm, I’ve always just assumed he’s black until reading this. He doesn’t look indian though. Maybe he’s half cast? tbh as has already been said I doubt Capcom know themselves.
He’s a white guy with a tan. End of disscusion.
I don’t think it’s ever been stated what Dudley is.
Some people like to say he’s not black because his features don’t resemble that of a black person…I’d say that’s arguable (hair relaxer, anyone?)
Also, look at Elena. She has blue eyes and white, straight hair. Then you take a look at her family, and they look even less “black”.
But, I don’t think anyone’s going to say that Elena isn’t black, regardless of all that. Capcom just doesn’t have a lot of practice drawing people of color, that’s all.
I think the same may be true with Dudley. Like the other folks from SF3, he is sort of based on existing characters from SF2…most obvously a reference to Balrog. And, Rog is black. (I think? Has that ever been stated, either? Is Guile white?)
Also, there is precedent in the Street Fighter canon for designing black characters from England, via Birdie. So, it wouldn’t be difficult to envision Duds as a black European aristocrat.
And, it seems that Capcom has no precedent for designing characters of Indian descent who do not hail from India (even Darun from SFEX is from India…even though he’s not a Capcom character technically). Black folk, on the other hand, can come from anywhere in SF land…Jamaica, England, USA.
yes! I love it when this thread rolls around. Endless pointless arguing.
Dudley is a character in a computer game. He is a boxer. His skin is the colour of the sprite.
I don’t think Capcom had a meeting to sit down and plan his geneology.
It’s like the “WHO IS Q???” debate. We don’t know, and neither does Capcom. They just made the character and tagged on a ‘mystery’ angle.
I’ll not have you cheapen some of life’s greatest questions, even if they are hard to answer.
Like why are we here? Does space expand forever indefinitely? And is Dudley black?:wow:
Doesn’t Dudley drink tea though? Because that totally has something to do with it.
Technically, he specifically enjoys BLACK tea.
Seriously.
Mystery solved.
I love how people bitch that Capcom creates stereotypical characters, but then end up arguing amongst each other when they encounter one that breaks the mold. :lol:
dudley weighs 101 kg, but sagat only weighs 78kg
sagat is a small chinaman
dudley has a ghetto booty
dudley = black
Thats all it is. Dudes are still trying to say yoruichi and tousen werent black even when they were referred to as it.
dudley is indian british IMO
I think that Dudley is white, but suffers from revitaligo.
No black man I know gets car jacked by a thong wearing rainbow jesus wannabe.
Dudley is black
Indian would make sense though. Aren’t there quite a lot of indian people/people with indian heritage in brittain?
