:jbhmm:is it me, or did a bunch of posts get deleted on this thread?
I think so, because i'm pretty sure i posted an argument that fight night champion is technically a fighting game with a black main character. and yet i don't see it in here anymore.
Unless this is a copy cat thread of another one i'm mistaking it for.

Name: Kai

Game: Mortal Kombat 4

Synopsis from Fighters Gen:
A former member of the White Lotus Society, Kai learned his skills from the great masters throughout Asia. He journeyed to the far east after meeting his friend and ally Liu Kang in America. Now they reunite and assist Raiden in his battle against Shinnok.”



Thoughts:
Kai was a great follow if not standard follow up protagonist as there was a chance to really explore his character, being a breh from Detroit. Honestly how does he make his way to Asia and decide to use Zulu warrior face paint. Netherrealm really fukked up not bringing him back in the new timelines as a strong black lead especially with the emasculation of Jax. In the OG timeline he received Raiden’s staff had a great chance to be a blend of Shaolin and bojutsu, but like all of the 3D era characters sadly they just mistreated.

Capcom dropped the ball bad with that Elena redesign.

Tripling down on those blue eyes is mad cringe too. Why even make her from Kenya then :dead:

White/non-black people are hilarious.

Name: Jeffry McWild

Game: Virtua Fighter

Synopsis: VF Wiki



Gameplay:



Thoughts:
An Aboriginal man fighting with his own version of Pankration hunting a giant shark. There’s gotta be allegory in there for the white man coming in and destroying what a black man holds precious, but maybe I’m giving japan too much credit.

One of the worst and damn near offensive black designed characters in a fighting game in history.
