Being half-japanese/half-black i'd argue that they're more pardo, i.e mixed than full black.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Give me an Eskimo from like Canada/Alaska.
He could have a dope snow stage, and his outfit could be cool. Like bear skin or something of that ilk.

Whatever you wanna call it. If you mixed with black you black.

I fear for the day they put a Puerto Rican......I get the feeling they will go very sterio typical.

I totally dug that stage in its time, but I hate to think how Capcom would present a Scottish fighter.
I feel like if they do, he'd be a boxer. Ed would've been perfect.

I want a Puerto Rican character
Capcom has an Aussie character in Saturday Night Slam Masters they could bring back
Alexander the Grater (Sheep The Royal) He's a former Rugby Player
Jumbo Flapjack from SNSM is another canadian As well as Rip Saber
PR Ed would have gotten mained.

Eh...maybe....Irish guys don't normally have olive colored skin or dress like The Buddha but Donovan is supposed to be well travelled so I guess it's possible. What's more interesting is that Donovan is a Dhampir, a vampire/human crossbreed. That's a Slavic term, and given that most of the other character's nationalities tend to sync up with their legend of origin it's possible that may be a clue to his home.
It's also a lot closer to Asia than Ireland.
This. Plus, they could go really wild with the design given how varied and long the nordic cultural heritage is
So do I, but Id prefer them to be a Judo/Wrestler unless you make him some sort of baseball player fighter.

Umm, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Just put her as a regular character in SFVI for Scotland, Darkstalkers is dead anyway.
Wouldn't even have to upload a new flag, would share the Union Flag/Jack.

Yeah but I always felt Morrigan was a good character design finished, then Scotland as her origin was an after thought. Modern Capcom making a Scottish character today... and I imagine Begbie from Trainspotting as they're point of reference. =/

SNK staying superior with Maxima. :3
Would be fun to compare the two series' reps.
Actually this is the top tanyer Canadian
Maxima wishes he was this good (like literally, he has some crazy mixups and damage), and was friends with penguins that go bobsledding with him.

I don't know why having characters be stereotypes is a big issue. SF is known for those. I'd much rather have that than have characters with nationalities just slapped onto them for no real reason, like Remy or Lars.
Rashid is actually a really good example of what Capcom should do with nationalities. It just barely scrapes up some stereotypes (djinn butler, royal family, oil company), but is otherwise a character that embraces its culture rather than being consumed by it (T Hawk, Gief) or just ignoring it (Remy, Blanka).

Never knew this existed. This causes me great anguish. Would LOVE to play either of these designs.
fwiw - I play chun. I love chun but I've always wanted a male equivalent to chun li. A black male equivalent would be my character for LIFE.

Out of all the ideas listed in this thread, i feel like this is going to happen in the future.
Sometimes in the future we will see Tony Jaa clones, Iko Uwais clones and Ip Man clones.
Wiki says british and moved to China?
he is but i specifically mentioned "prominent" nobody knows him
Whoops, my bad.

There is a Swede in DOA and extremely popular too...but you might not like it (unless you are into that kind of thing).
It's Marie Rose
I think it's eventually gonna happen in games like SF and Tekken if/when Indonesia ends up becoming an important Asian game market like China and South Korea have.

Maxima is Wolverine, the best Canadian at what he does.
I want more of this, also make him Jamaican, and not some kind of joke character with a bad name.

I had a brain fart and thought the other poster mentioned Sweden for some reason, but yea, it is pretty garbage.

I thought T Hawk was a native Indian from America that just happen to be fighting in Mexico in street fighter 2 super,no?
Would be nice, but I wonder what kind of stereotypes they'd base it on. What do people from abroad think of us Peruvians?
She's not whitewashed, she's supposed to be Bull Nakano, one of the greatest Joshi that ever lived.

Yea he is half, but he identifies with the Naruto side pretty hard.

I'd like to see a character from the Balkans / Eastern Europe!! Russians aren't the only slavs, Capcom!!!
Considering vampires were pretty significant in that area, I think it would be fun to mix that in with the character design. I can't think of a fighting style, buuut it would be cool if the character could step/move as if they were dancing in a part of hora/kolo/kalamatianos/etc (folk dance).

that cfn art means absolutely nothing. go find abigail's cfn art and see how that turned out.
lol. Kickboxing ain't from Thailand and neither Sagat or Adon have it as their fighting style. They're Muay Thai fighters.

The Thunderfoot tribe had a reservation in Texas that Shadaloo somehow aquired (I think they bought it?). The tribe moved to Mexico temporarily, though for whatever reason Hawk is listed as Mexican.
Muay Thai falls under kickboxing. I know, since I've been doing it for four years now and have fought on an amateur level.
They share similar principles and are pretty much similar while Kickboxing I think has more set rules for it's matches, while Muy Thai is pure martial arts....not too sure,
It's quite clear the first person didn't implied "Kickboxing" as a whole since was demanding a Thai to represent it.
I have a friend taking part in competitions at Thailand. No one would accept what they're doing as Kickboxing.
Sharing some principles doesn't make them "the same". Like saying Karate and Taekwondo are pretty much similar, so doesn't matter to differentiate which one you practice.
