Zebia: Oct 10, 2012; How's my volume?

As much as I like those characters, it's for the best for me at least that they aren't there. I always force myself to use them even though I am so bad with them, because I like them a lot. Now I'll probably be using Robert (who I always use anyway), King and Geese.

(I'm aware of how stereotypical that sounds but when the two characters who aren't wearing masks look like they're from loving Germany it's more than a little weird.

It's still kinda dumb but based how they were taking her visual design I was fully expecting this because #justjapanthings:

Nah if you watch Mexican TV it's basically a bunch of white people. Here, have a telenovela DVD cover:

I'm guessing the new Women Fighters character's portrait is a placeholder, because it looks like it's a CGI render instead of a drawing.

Maybe, but the two characters are pasty white, and one of them is a blonde with a light brown goatee and the other literally has white hair. Even the woman in the top left isn't as white as them. Like, I'd believe that anybody on that cover could have at least some sort of hispanic heritage except for her.

E: Well okay, top middle looks white as gently caress with a bad fake tan, but my point still stands. Like hell, even white people from the southern US are probably gonna be kinda tan if they spend a lot of time outside, you know, street fighting.

Yeah I'm totally the weirdo for unironically creating character designs with a child's face and a woman's body.

I don't think that's that weird, if I were in charge of putting a whole bunch of Asian characters in a fighting game I'd probably get it wrong.

ok then

There are Mexicans who really do happen to have fair skin rather than not, so I don't see what the issue is. Some of my cousins are pale as poo poo. Though since this is anecdotal, feel free to ignore it, I guess, just know that it's not really that weird.

As someone actually living in Mexico City, there are a TON of really white people around here so yeah, Ramon and Angel's looks are plausible.

If anything, Tizoc's frame is the unrealistic bit of his design because mexican luchadores tend to be in the smaller size and they're rarely as swole as american wrestlers.
