Famitsu "leaks" Laura for Street Fighter V
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
Depends on the booty. I like it natural. Not a big fan of what seems to be the most desired body type around here.
While I, as a brazilian, am whiter than praticaly everyone on SF cast except Necro, I would not complain if her skin was darker since most of brazil IS darker, specialy in poor Rio de Janeiro neighbours.
Then again I would not complain if she wore a sports bra .... her and mika makes me hurt just to think about all those jumps without support =|
Yeah I know fireballs and all ... but those are MADE to hurt ... THE ADVERSARY.
Laura and Mika are hurting themselfs without any support =P

No bras = their version of cody's handcuffs
If I can just say one thing...I'm a white Brazilian. Born in Brazil, moved to Canada when I was younger and now hold dual-citizenship for both. Before I say anything, let me say that I completely understand why people want darker skinned characters in fiction. That's perfectly understandable and there really, really aren't enough characters like that around.
So I'm perfectly aware that what I'm about to say is mostly emotional and not at all something that I think "needs to change" or whatever. If anything, it's just me going "Man, I feel like this, but I get my feelings aren't really that relevant in comparison here, so I'm just venting but accept this is how it has to be."
When I see people complaining that Brazilian characters aren't black enough, my instant reaction is kind of going...man, I was happy about this character with a similar background to me, but now that I see people complaining that the character is a problem for looking like that, it's just kind of...deflating? Eh. Like there's this implication that I should be satisfied with white American characters because hey, that's close enough to me. I don't know. Maybe they are. Either way I can't exactly say I got it worse than actual minorities, I can pass for white easily enough around here.
At the same time...not sure if I'm making sense here, but it's just a bunch of conflicting feelings here like, I'm happy about a character that's similar to me, then I see a bunch of people going "Oh, she shouldn't look like that" and it's...okay let me just say that I have had a lot of people respond to me explaining my background by going "Wait, but you are not black." And that's just a bit annoying sometimes, yeah? Like this implicit thing about people like me not mattering because our problems are not important enough.
And thing is, I actually get that. Discrimination wise people like me have it pretty good. As long as we hide our accent we are pretty much golden. So I can't complain about people brushing aside desires for representation and going "Well, other people have got more problems than you, so I'd have preferred if we took care of that instead." Like, I get that and I even agree with it in a logical sense. But it's still a bit deflating to go from being pleased that something that kind of bugs you being sorta addressed to kinda down that people are saying they should have ignored that in favour of something else, you know?
And again, don't get me wrong--I perfectly understand why people are saying they wish she wasn't the way she looked like and why that would have been better. I'm not even saying I disagree with that response or saying that white Brazilians are a group in need of representation or anything like that. Just that seeing characters physically like me is kinda a nice feeling and my irrational emotional response to reactions like in this thread is to kinda be deflated and be like "Yeah, you're right. That would be for the best I guess. Ehhhhhhh..."
Okay I'm done, sorry for rambling haha.

I appreciate your perspective, Hopeford.
Mexico and NYCC? So we might see the complete roster by PSX?

We're supposed to know the entire roster by the end of the year
ITT: people unfamiliar with 80s hairstyles
Oh clearly she... she has big tits she's (apparently?) proud of and has a win quote that has innuendo, so she MUST be promiscuous!
She.. she must be! Because... You know, because!
Side note: that art in your Avatar is dope.

She is whiter than most people on this pic
If you go to google streetview you will see that most people have the skin darker than her.
Like always, it just shows that Capcom didn't made the easier research to make things making sense whenever they could =P
She is even whiter when you think that she is the same color as Ryu and Ryu is like just a japanese dude with a small tan
I said this in the other thread but since June we've been getting two characters a month so naturally this will conclude in November before PSX in December.
I figure Dhalsim will be revealed at the India Gaming Expo in November and Zen at an Asian event that same month.

Her skin color is fine, Brazil is pretty diverse and she looks definitely multirracial. Half of Brazil's population is White, so the White Brazilians are the ones who are really underrepresented in videogames.

Brasil is very diverse. Also man you really expect Capcom to do this after we got Beyoncefied Vanessa?

Having a new Brazilian character in SF is very happy news and what we've see of Laura so far is accurate. She actually looks mixed.

I get where you're coming from. I'm Brazilian and I can have similar feelings about the way these discussions go.

Brazilians:
uh, they're not even standing in the sun. Guy in the middle looks pretty white.

Also, why would you make conclusions from a single picture? That's beyond silly.
Honestly the way this thread is going I'm surprised that no one has complained about cultural appropriation yet. How dare a Japanese developer use cornrows. /s
I... never even questioned for a second that Dudley was black, but OK, I guess questioning the race of a fictional character in a videogame is very important to some people.
Thanks for that, my science project about good looking women doing cool stuff will surely advance a bunch thanks to this.
Laura looks fantastic, can't wait to try her out, probably in the 3rd beta....
Roster thread would've been lolz. Especially the "since Blanka is the last classic character that means Alex is NYCC" posts that would've happened.
Juri and Dudley are the most popular new characters of IV and III respectively, it won't be long before they hit V imo....
She surely can't lose out to Mika can she....

I don't see why her race is that big of a deal. I think her hair should be done a bit different. Like straight all around. That's my dorky beef.

It isn't. A dude made a picture of her with brown skin because there aren't any brown girls in this game, and Neogaf predictably got offended at the suggestion.

I'm Brazilian and I'm pretty much caucasian(like whiter than Laura). Brazilians don't have an archetype we are a very mixed race.

Now, now. Booty is the truth. But you're right, if it isn't natural, I don't care how big or jiggly it is; I don't like fake butts. #AgainstFakeButts
