Street Fighter V AE: CHAMPION EDITION

[Xno Kappa]

He still looks generic as hell to me.

[Krandor]

He very much feels like what old Japanese men think a young hip American audience wants out of their main character.

[Lokus]

Logan and Jake Paul out there proving them right.

[Lucavi]

Another generic blonde-haired white guy smiling all the time. Tropes straight outta the 1950's. Japan really hasn't gotten over its fascination with WWII-era American occupation, have they?

Same old thing, time after time. We already had Terry Bogard and Steve Fox, and they were cooler than this.

[AoE]

Gotta accept that if there's a trope that Japanese creators can play, they gonna play the ever living fuck out of it.

[Lucavi]

Oh I've accepted that since I first saw the ol' "childhood friend" nonsense trope.

Edit: Funny how we've already been here before. Generic white guy is the future of SFV? Generic white guy was the future of SFIII in Alex, and we know how that worked out. "Oh shit, they're rioting! Throw Ryu and Ken back in there!"

Was Rufus the "future" of SFIV?
