You already know who to pick.

edit: whoah. "Sammy"? I didn't know that was his name in the japanese version.
Skinny Black from SoR1 was the best character that game series ever had. He had the best moves and the freshest style. Fuck this rollerblade shit, Skinny Black was the fucking best!


Oh hell yeah!
 
<--- Is Parappa black?

He's either black, or a "Pretty Fly For a White Guy" 90s wannabe kid from the suburbs. Thoughts?
Parappa and PJ Bear were the only dudes with rhythm in that entire town, black or not.
OT: Streets of Rage 2 was a beautiful game. Just noticed how detailed the art really is
Sega has been good decent to me recently, but handing a C&D to Bombergames because of Streets of Rage Remake was a god damn crime.

I don't know what the fuck Parappa was....

My little brother gave me the most interesting perspective on why Ash's Squirtle, Charmander, and Venusaur were black though. Its crazy how aware he is of shit like that. I'm not really happy about the fact that a 7 year old thinks about race like that, but its... interesting.

Interesting he thought Charmander and Bulbasaur were black. I always guessed Squirtle was cause he had so much swag and always took care of business.

Look at him. He's like, "Pikachu, sit yo ass down. I got this."

Speaking of Pokémon:

Lol, reminds me. Is the new gym leader in pokemon the first black person in the game?

yea, strolling solo is...not what's up. :-(



lmao.

true story? Iotas run the yard at U. Cincinnati. I was blown away.
I ran into a couple of Hispanic kappas up in DC. I can say without shame that my boys got swagged on hard.

Its always cool seeing integration like that though.

I've reconciled myself with Kira Bee... they introduced him in the most generic way possible... but they made up for it by actually giving him some depth...

I remember going to my first Alpha convention in Atlanta and meeting several white bruhs with big ass APhiA brands on their arms.

Again, blown away.

I also distinctly remember one of our neos getting his peri ran in a bathroom because he had a stuttering problem and didn't respond to someone's challenge fast enough. :-(

You know how ques scrap, right? Well at our first convention my ace, the dumbass, spaced out completely while talking history and this 1980s old head calls him out. My ace tho... this dude pulls the "don't hit me IM CRAZY" from Hey Arnold! and strips butt naked in a loaded parking lot then yells "ILL DIE FOR THIS SHIT" like a ghetto caveman.

A legend was born.

Speaking of Naruto, before the Cloud village was introduced, I used to think Kiba was the desginated black person. Which sucked cause he's like the worst ninja ever.

But the damn intro was horrible.
