B) Blue eyes and red hair are a common combo for white characters though, and given her skin complexion is a shade of white skin tone I see no reason to see her a black female
Especially when she appears even lighter in SF5 appearances
While I could see a scenario where Luke may have already been put in place before the development reboot, stuff like the racist caricatures in Luke's character story show that Ono wasn't the only problem.
They actually made Lucia whiter in the game than she was in her previous appearance, and the Nuyorican influence is only because of the dub actress.
what the fuck did they do to her? This game is so ass they managed to ruin non-playable characters.But if they share the same blood then Laura can be considered black as well. Japanese fighting games have a problem with Brazilian designs since characters like Tekken's Eddy and SF's Sean can easily be seen as black fighters but when it comes to the females like Laura and Tekken's Christie they look like they lean way heavier on being "hispanic" looking and in the case of Lura having notably lighter skin than her brother. It can't be a coincidence with both these series.
Yeah that is clearly white skin, it just looks a little more medium toned due to the lighting? But look at her SF5 character design (that was never used)
is K' considered black? (His backstory is that he is a kyo clone but is it just tan or… his skin looks about the same tone as the two black females).Meanwhile KOF XV has 2 new female (black and latina) characters in the cover of the game
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOThankfully they didn't make Dudley pale.
His skin tone doesn't look too far removed from his previous iterations, it's just the art style that looks weird for him.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He's not a clone clone of Kyo, but someone who was experimented on, and I don't think we know from where he was kidnapped as a kid. His sister, Whip, is white.
While Dolores is Black, Isla (the one with the ghost hands) is Latina.
Isn't K' a cyborg?
Iirc he was kidnapped as a kid and experimented on by NEST with Kyo's DNA, and told he was a clone of Krizalid, when Krizalid was a clone of him. I know Maxima is a cyborg, but I think K' is just augmented? Not 100% sure though.
I mean I kinda like the characters that came out of it. K', Kula, Whip, Maxima, Ramon are all pretty cool... and while we are on the subject... Seth... one of the best characters ever...
Actually, most other Japanese fighting game developers have been improving regarding Black representation. Bandai Namco, SNK, Arc System Works, & even Nintendo EPD Group 9 got the memo. The only major issues right now are Sakurai's team & Capcom.
You keep pushing this narrative that Rashid is the main character and he's really not. If you want to make a case that at launch Necalli was I'd listen to that conversation, but this one isn't accurate at all.
That fact was cited by Capcom themselves twice, to the point where Ryu's design was slightly modified to accommodate Rashid.

And that's a problem in-&-of itself.
None of these people are described as anything. If someone wants to consider C. Viper black, what's the matter?
It is conceivably something the English voice actress made up on the spot lol. She said she asked if she could incorporate some of her own slang and they said okay.
If she didn't come out with random spanish words at times, I never would have known.
He is though.

The game is done. Luke was the last character.
Laura doesn't know which day of the week it is.
