Smash Bros has no People of Color

As a black man, I am sick and tired of white people being shoved in my face at every turn in my media. I hardly see my race represented in any of it. Smash Ultimate is one of my favorite games, but I feel like an alien or a total outsider in the world because nobody in this game, or in much media like games, shares my features. Every humanoid character has pale skin and/or light eyes and hair ("""""aryan"""""" features), how can I identify as that? It makes being black feel abnormal, and lesser.

Dark Link

pretty sure there is black villager and black inkling

That's how you expose drama instigators.

It no look like me. Me no identify. God forbid people connect with a character over experiences or motivation

But Ryu is Japanese and thus not white?

You're probably white and/or male, so its real easy for you to say

This, they even added those niggerized villagers specifically for ultimate

Olimar used to have a nigger skin in Brawl

still looks white

>Rodin
>Doc Louis
>Villager and Inkling
I guarantee Rodin will be playable next game.

Two of those aint even real and just speculation, so who cares. The closest we get is Ryu, who is still light skinned for an Asian so he's actually white and dont count as a real PoC.

Reminder that retards from Smashboards are unironically pushing this stupid meme.

I am so, so glad that the west has absolutely no say on character inclusions unless they're so massively popular Nintendo can't help but notice like Banjo and Ridley.

Otherwise the roster would be full of garbage diversity picks, flavor of the month Indie games, Steve, and Goku.

Smash is for video game characters, not niggers.

Ryu, and probably a couple of the other characters, are ethnically Japanese. Also, some characters have coloured alternate skins. It still counts even if it's not the default since some of those skins are canon, which means the default is just an appeal to the primarily white and Japanese audience. Ganondorf is a fictional race, but is still coloured darkish. Additionally, his race takes inspiration from real-life middle-eastern and Indian cultures, thus meaning that if he were assigned to some real-life ethnic background, he would be from that general region and thus would be pee oh sea.

You were on point until the last, badly worded sentence : cool black vg characters exist. (Hints : Bayo, Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, Final Fantasy,...)

eh you're right I just wanted to get my Yea Forums edge in there just to get back at sjw talk. I wouldn't mind a black character getting in but when someone begs for it like that demanding it for diversity rather than proper justification then it gets to me.

I'd love a playable Rodin.

I don't agree with OP's b8 but Yea Forums has a huge fit whenever the protag of a video game isn't a white male.

In the real world and the Kano region it's based on Japan, but in-universe Kanto has no real world race equivalent. Johto is portrayed as explicitly Japanese, but the word Japanese is never used to describe it.

The only character to be stated to have something based in the real world is Lt. Surge's nationality, but that's been retconned for the most part.

Name one black iconic character worthy to be in smash and before u say " CJ "no user ur generic thug life nigger doesnt count

First thing! Name one popular Nintendo main character that is black. I don't mean anime brown, I mean a big lipped big. Second. Tell me why it is the Japs responsibility to cater to and represent a group, by racially ass kissing, when they normally disregard race all together in favor of a generic pale skin tone. Then when you consider why the japs should kiss was, ask yourself why white people should do it too. If nigs want more nigs, then I guess they should aspire to game development to represent themselves. White people handed blacks everything they needed to succeed. The burden of coddling them rests on nobody.

North Africans especially.
There is literally NO Berber character in video. I legitimately cannot find a single Berber character self-identifying as Berber or even speaking the Berber language.

SJWs cry "DIVERSITY DIVERSITY DIVERSITY" but there is so little Berber fucking representation that I don't see what the fuck they are smoking about this so-called."diversity". I am not even saying to force Berber characters in, I just find it hypocritical when these people keep on railing on about popular races like blacks but not Berbers or even races like Mongolians. I mean sure both of these races are units in historical games, but that's about it really. I think the only strategy game where I actually played as Berbers specifically was in EUIV and Knights of Honour (the latter is a very underrated and great game, can't wait for the sequel).

>tfw sandnigger
>never gave a fuck about being "represented"

Why do you care so much? Are you that insecure in your ethnicity? Do you really need a video game or any sort of media to validate you? Be proud of who you are regardless.

I get it, it's nice to occasionally have someone you can somewhat relate to on a skin deep level. I would be lying if I didn't like seeing an Arab protag when Prince of Persia on PS2 came out but it's really not that big a deal and it never stopped me from enjoying video games before that. If I was going to connect with and relate to a video game character it'd have more to do with who they are rather than the colour of their skin.

Then again I'm not an insecure bitch.

Just play Age of Empires 2: African Kingdoms you fucker.

we are all one human race, you should be comfortable playing any character regardless of skin color

Captain falcon is japanese as hell. U can tell in the face

To be fair I'm not even arab, I'm north African. To white people it's all the same though so I try not to complicate it (though you're right, I know north Africans who get super butthurt about being called arab but I personally don't care), and let's face it if we're going for "representation" then it's close enough. Can't think of any North African video game characters.

I'm a Persian sandnigger and I can confirm this. We don't like to associate with the other sandniggers who bend over when asked by SA and Israel.

I'm usually not down with a lot of Yea Forums's thinking. Telling "trannies" to go kill themselves, using the N word, using "jew" to mean scam artist and what have you but as a brown man myself I really hope this other extreme never gets a say in Smash. I see what they mean but Smash just isn't the place for it. It's all about game history and mascots of notable series, I would never want someone of my skin tone boosted into smash on the color of their skin. I've said it many times, if I'm to be represented I want it done the right way. No shoehorning.

This guy has replied to me quite a few times and in every single one of them I have no fucking clue if he's just retarded or a huge troll

Glad you think so. We have a lot of shit people too but I keep hearing from people that they only have positive experience with Persian people. So it makes me happy and hope more people can offer this experience in the future despite not being Persian.

They didn't before 2014 though. I'm sure some did but the vast majority of the time people didn't care. Games journalists and SJW's then poisoned the well by using diversity to try and make themselves look good and demonise everyone else.

Now every female or "poc" protag is met with scrutiny as no one's ever sure whether it was a genuine creative choice or it was done to look woke/appease the games journalists/resetera crowd.

Got any screenshots?

It's a tossup between pink + purple Inkling girl for me

It’s actually a chick (possibly a tranny), and they’re blatantly serious. I’ve argued with them before, they’re horribly unpleasant.

There’s a lot of ResetERA SJWs running around on Smashboards and they’re not kidding around.

Come on

You know damn well it's a tranny

Fucking spot on analysis. I like it when Yea Forums drops the bullshit and gets real. Rare occurrence but it's good to know behind the 10000 layers of irony and tired memes there's people talking here.

My sentimente exactly. I feel like diversity in the US just means just the big 3 (Asian, Latino and Black) with their stereotypes.

Maybe some day...

You mean in Smash or in general? In general it’s just asians, blacks and hispanics as customization option. Like, for example, in Fallout and Mass Effect.

It's very often due to appeasing the crowd and scared of getting criticism for it. They attack japanese games as well but it's muda considering Japan does what it wants and is unmoved by journofags and sjw movement in the west. The west is so fucking irrelevant.

Vast majority of the time it's black though. Diversity often just means more black people now. Latinos and Asians get thrown a bone every now and then, but nobody's calling for an Asian James Bond.

Now they've made a racket of it. They criticise video games for not being diverse enough or not having enough female characters/representing them wrong then offer their services to video companies to make sure they don't get criticised by them and their peers.

Look how Square now have an "ethics" committee. I guarantee you it's full of the very same SJW's who were making things an issue in the first place. Hell, I even remember not long ago Anita offering her "services" to make sure cyberpunk doesn't get attacked by the outrage mob that she very much was part of.

>Johto is portrayed as explicitly Japanese, but the word Japanese is never used to describe it.
Considering that even with the series refusal to define its world structure, it goes out of its way to

1) Put Kanto as close to the typically Japanese region (Johto) as possible - in fact literally the only time in the series two regions have been directly connected.
2) Define non-Japanese regions (Unova, Kalos, Alola) as explicitly much further away.
3) The fucking name is Kanto.

It's safe to say Kanto is in the geographic equivalent of Pokemon Japan.

The argument that only Johto has a strongly Japanese culture doesn't hold up either as the other major regions that are considered "close" to Kanto and Johto both have aspects of Japanese culture, ESPECIALLY Sinnoh.

I have way more screens I could grab from that person. As well as a whole shitstorm in a thread that ended with me getting banned for challenging the idea of adding more female character for the sake of diversity. Like, I’m cool with adding more girls, but they were all crying over Terry getting added cause “they wanted a female character to appeal to girl gamers” (despite the fact that Terry evidently does appeal to many girls). Yeah, imagine seriously thinking Smash needs affirmative action on its roster.

But I like brown skin girls. Half of the games I play with customization I play as a woman of color.

I genuinely can’t think of a single black character in vidya worthy of a spot in Smash. Let alone for other minority groups like indians, latinos, gays, or trannies.

Like, closest contenders for “gay characters” are Tingle who’s a shit meme pick like Waluigi, Ghirahim who’s outdated, and Tracer who’s just awful.

Ah shit, here we go again

Isnt ken like half japanese?

No he just trained in Japan with Ryu under the same master.

I know its a copypasta but the fact that someone bitched about this is funny to me.

Simon and Richter are the only ones that we know for certain are caucasian of european origin since Castlevania takes place in the real world and the Belmonts are in association with the Orthodox church. Little Mac is also supposed to be a New Yorker, the other characters are in fictional settings

No, he is halfJap. It’s Terry who was the full on adopted orphan.
