A lot like real life really. They loved the idea of him, but when the reality hit...the old biases came out.

Is he OP though? Like unbalanced?

It's some kind of fukked up Cosmic Joke ain't it?

I've always liked how Harada tried to give good representation to different races in game though.

Absolutely


I'm not even a Tekken fan, but a new black character in a franchise that consistently lags behind Street Fighter in popularity had to come out of the gate hammering everything in his path just to grab attention. I suspect the devs did that on purpose, because Tekken as a franchise is veeeery late to waking up to just how many black gamers are into fighting games. SF has major characters in Balrog, DeeJay and Dudley and there's a pretty deep player base there as a result.

Harada-san needs better foreign advisors. Eddy Gordo ain't cutting it.

Got to give them props for that at least....because the first time I saw Leroy with the cane I went but it actually works well in-game without being insulting.


Which SF concept art do you mean?

But I've seen good Balrog art I liked, but the buggy eyed bucking shyt.. while the other characters are drawn with better facial symmetry.. In real life Black Men and Women have crazy good proportionate faces and bodies and great frames. Most black men got Square appealing faces. Steve Fox is a boxer and doesnt look crazy

All three of those characters are caricatures of black people.



Dee Jay's goofy ass smile makes him look like he tap dances for cacs

Dudley looks like "the help"

Balrog has looked like some sambo out of a racist 1930s cartoon since street fighter 4.
