We Need Some More Colored Folk in Brawl!!!!!

[Black/Light]

I've never scene someone of African decent with that color hair.

There actually are some black people with natural red hair (red tent to their hair). But coloring your hair red isn't uncommon with Africans/ African Americans. There are whole "tribes" that use coloring ones hair red as a sign that you are a adult. (could also be for style. . . only actually seen 2 of "tribes" do it by the way)

Africa is really full of amazing things once you look past the ***** government. Theres a "tribe" that use natural fruits to make a skin moisturizer thats dark orangish in color. Well, after years of using this cream, their skin holds a pretty dark orange color even with out the use of the cream.

Just throwing down what lil African stuff I know. N/M me.

And qdMbp, you must not see many black people. Some of us have skin soo dark that it's called "blue black" (a phase used when someone's skin is just "Ganon black". . . not a good thing to call someone by the way). Black people skin colors are as ranged as a rainbow (From lighter than the avrg white person to Ganon black).

I have always personal seen the gerudo as a mix between Mid-East and African. In fact, if you look back fare enuff in history, you would find that they (Mid-Eastern) looked what we would call "black". (but thats another thing all together)

Edit- Hoping someone learns something in life is a bad thing?!?!

I was quite enjoying this thread until I came across this comment. That is insensitive, ignorant and racist. If I could reach through my computer screen and do something unpleasant to you then I would, but alas, I cannot. I'll have to settle for shaking my head in disgust and hoping that you have an unhappy life.


If this were my forum Id suspend your account.

I agree 100%.
I'm black, and I really think Lucario would represent us all.
And Falco, he gotta be black on the inside...shooting and giving the finger...PURE AWESOMENESS!

 

[Konuk]

no one likes huey from the boondocks :D he'll be cool and there are racisit people everywhere expect that <.<

 

[oxyborb]

yeah, it's a joke. But I am black, And I was gonna make a serious thread about the need for diversity in brawl, but I literally couldn't think of one black person who'd fit in smash. Hahaha, though, every time someone thought i was serious about 50cent was a serious laugh from me. Even my community thinks 50's game sucks. Corse, i'm from the Lou, so I'm a Nelly fan.

And I'm sure you'd never tell me donkey kong is black anywhere but the internet, so my friend, your words are meaningless.

Prejudice is inevitable really, so there's no point to try to get away from it altogether(like closing s thread because you're scared of it) Just move on, heck, laugh at it. Hm... Miis would be a good thing to add for diversity. I actually just got to gannon in tp, and yeah, he's blacker than I am. Hahaha. Hm. I think saying Falco or Lucario is black is stupid. C'mon. I mean we need a black human. That's like saying pikachu is white. Gannon looks sweet though, I agree, I could get my gangsta on wit him.

 

[Black/Light]

^^^ Lucario seems to be greatly influenced on Africa. . . . thats good enuff for me atleast.(influenced on a African god+ design is African in origin= reps Africa)

And I may not be able to prove it but I do feel that Falco is black on the inside ( The way he moves/ his type of coolness/ his look of pride. . . but thats all IMO).

But I see what your saying and like I said before Ganon is enuff gangsta for SSBB IMO.

 

[Garath331]

I want you to seriously consider the following two points before we being an argument about this:

Should I have used [ArchieBunker][/Archie Bunker] tags, to signify the tone I was trying to take?

Do you really want to argue this? This topic stands no chance of ever being resolved on the internet

 

[Zeee]

Ganon is Mexican. just look at his green/brown skin tone.
G&W is from another universe so he's not of any race. (ET)

Every human on the game is at least 1% black by science so I'm not going to frown if a black guy doesn't make the brawl cut

( I hope a black guy doesn't make the cut. I'm sure some *******s will just use him as a sandbag. If its a her then.... she better look black if you know what i mean...)

 

[Red Exodus]

I can't decide whether or not to scream 'phail' or 'win'....

This is definitely a 'win'. I'm white (sorry?), but even I can see that BET is the most flagrant black degradation that is around today. Why do African Americans put up with it?

It's like women putting up with fashion models...it makes no sense.

And Red Exodus: if you really do think like that comment, go do yourself a favor and pick up a Boondocks comic strip. You'll love it.

I've read some strips of it, I just can't get enough of it.

P.S. I know this post is old but I have school and stuff so I'm not supposed to be on my PC.

When I said the thread should be closed, it was mostly due to the many remarks of said racism that appeared from one joke post, figured more would appear if that was to continue, but if this thread can go on with laughs and giggles over a comedic thought, then it's fine.

And Zeee, Ganon isn't mexican either, you ever see a mexican with that hair or really dark skin tone? XD We're lightish brown, we're like diet brothahs.

 

[Croco]

Well Mario is Italian like myself and we both feel we are own race.. nor white or black. Just "Italian." lol

 

[Whirlwind]

Well Mario is Italian like myself and we both feel we are own race.. nor white or black. Just "Italian." lol

I agree. None of the characters is really 'white' per se. Excepting peach what with her aryan perfect blond hair and blue eyes.

Maybe nintendo did a study into which demographic is most likely to play ssb,and based their character inclusions based on that...

Well... as for a black character, mr. game and watch's default color is *black*. just grasping at straws. don mine me.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

.........I feel that my mental capacity just droped after reading through this topic.

The meer concept of this topic is sheer idiocy in itself.Why should it even matter(Or come to mind) what races a reprsesented in the game as long as it's fun?

The dumb founded concepts in this topic are through steriotypical actions,appearance,and menality.Why in gods name should race matter in Video games? We already have to deal with racism countless numbers all over the world,now you want to bring that propaganda into Smash Bros.?

And as an African American,i feel that implementing the race card in video games is simply sadistic,unjustified,and purely cynical.

This topic=Major fail

 

[Nefarious]

off topic: this is hilarious

on topic: Who ever this guy is

He only needs one move, and its all to obvious

i think some people need to lighten up and not let this thread offend. i get called beaner, wet back, boarder hopper, etc. all the time, and i dont let it get to me. its actually, mildly hilarious. yes.

I don't view this topic as racist...i view it as completly stupid.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

This thread is about as stupid as some of the racist comments said to minorities (Napkin N*gg** and mohawk have to be the stupidest ones I've heard, I have also been called Apple) >_>;

 

[The_Corax_King]

Yes... this is a waste of time... but funny...

There arent a lot of colored folk in videogames anyway...

 

[Nefarious]

well when you think about it, there is quite a few.

lets see, theres

Shadow from FF6 (or 3 for snes) (theres no way you can say hes not black.)
Jax from MK
that boxer guy, from killer instinct
Barret- FF7
CJ- GTA:SA
Shadow Man- Shadow man
Zack- Dead or Alive.
Lisa- Dead or alive (i think thats her name)
"the guy from soul caliber 3"
Elena- Street Fighter 3rd strike
Dudly- Street Fighter 3rd strike
Storm- X-men games. Marvel vs Capcom
"the guys from guitar hero"
Lambert- Splinter cell Series (YES HE COUNTS, even though not playable, is important to the game)
Firebats- Starcraft
Cole- Gears of War (yes. i looooove gears of war)
"the big power guy in powerstone 1 and 2"
Cap N' Hands- Loaded (cmon. if he was anything but black, he wouldnt be the best in the game)
"the main character in 'McKids" (never played it but seen it. cheap mario rip if you ask me)
raven- tekken (tekken is the suck)

thats all i can think of at the moment. So uh...yeah theres a good number of black characters

edit: scratch shadow. hes blue(:
edit again: ok fine hes not blue either.i might as well just take him off the list. but im not going to do that cause im bad.

 

[Devastlian]

Shadow's not black; he's blue!

 

[Nefarious]

Shadow's not black; he's blue!

GAH! well in the snes version WITH NONE OF THAT COOL ANIMATION STUFF, he totally does not look blue. is 6 any different than 3 anyway?

 

[Devastlian]

Ya, the US version was censored a lot and is missing a bunch of stuff but they're pretty much the same.

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

*SPOILER ALERT!*
Shadow's dark complexion is really only meant to symbolize his mysterious character.

Spoiler

He is eventually revealed to really be this guy: <click here> A disgraced bandit named Clyde who also happens to be Relm's daddy.

But at any rate, he isn't black - just thought I'd clear that up.

 

[xianfeng]

Fine if we get black characters, we also need gay ones, I'll give you some examples

Merlinus from Fire Emblem
Metrosexuals didn't exsist back then

Lucius from Fire Emblem
Oh Raven I love you

Raiden from Metal Gear Solid
'nuff said

 

[Shurikono]

Coloured eh? How about hmm this is useless. Elincia maybe.

 

[Croco]

HE STOLE MY BIKE!

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

The intelligence in this topic just droped to a minimum....-_-

 

[urban_shinobi]

it would be nice to see black people in this. I'm black, and think it would be nice. We dont need to make a big deal. Little rep in nintendo isnt something new, i mean hell if asians see someone from a video game company, for the most part he is prbabbly white.

black rep would be great. we could be the wtf character , Mike Tyson from knockout.

Silly Phoenix, there's no intelligence on the internet, that's just a myth!

 

[Peeze]

As I’m sure you all have guessed, I’m a proud black man. And ya know what I think? Where the flip are my colored folk at? We need some diversity in Brawl! You white people need to start playing colored characters more often. I mean, look, the Japanese are making this game and they don’t even include any of their own people! I think it’s mainly because Japanese don’t realize black people exist or something. Ganondorf is Arab or whatever. Pish. That still leaves a ton of colors hanging. The only small hope they’d gave us was Mr. Game & Watch, which through his various costumes covers blacks, Indians, merfolk, and of course aliens. Then we have racist old Bowser in his black costume looking like a freaking blackface performer. Peach is somewhat Latino in her Daisy outfit, but eh.

This thread made me laugh.
"The japanese made this game, and they don't have any of there own people?"
Isn't ness japanese(looking at least)?

And, Ganondorf is asian? Peach though is curvy so she could be latino.

But besides those this thread is nonsensical. In the video game world, race doesn't matter. How many Indians do you see in video games?

 

[xianfeng]

Coloured eh? How about hmm this is useless. Elincia maybe.

Elincia isn't black...

Isn't ness japanese(looking at least)?

Ness isn't japanese he doesn't have yellowish skin and small eyes. Plus Onett is more based of America than it is Japan (I'm pretty sure).

And, Ganondorf is asian? Peach though is curvy so she could be latino.

Ganondorf is middle-eastern, you know Arab. Peach has white skin so she can't be Latino...

 

[urban_shinobi]

no, ness actually looks like he has down syndrome ( not something to laugh at). Peach is white, mario is white (itailien), and ganondarf is the result of a bad tanning bed,

 

[Peeze]

Ness isn't japanese he doesn't have yellowish skin and small eyes. Plus Onett is more based of America than it is Japan (I'm pretty sure)

So that little bow he does in his taunt is Japanese?

Ganondorf is middle-eastern, you know Arab. Peach has white skin so she can't be Latino...

I know plenty of girls who I thought were white but i found out later were actually Spanish.
Yeah Ganondorf does look arabian, this arabian kid in my class looks exactly like Ganondorf.

 

[Hoodie]

I'd have to say, and not even to be dumb, but the only black Nintendo character is Donkey Kong, He even has his own rap. me and my friends all agree on this lol, [yes even the black friends]

 

[Hylian Knight]

dude, this thread is ********. jax is from mortal kombat, not NINTENDO! ssbb is only for nintendo characters! 50 cent is just a piece of bull****, and so was his game: bulletproof. Which disgraced him even more. Just stop this thread now, PLEASE!

 

[Hylian Knight]

I consider Ganon a little black. I'll give ya that much. Falco & Lucario are not black, but if Falco returns, I want his feathers to be lightish black. That would be pimpin!

are you a wannna be or something?
oh, and by the way....stop with the racism! Africa, a long time ago, SOLD us practically black people, and black people owned themselves! so stop calling us racists! ***holes!

 

[Konuk]

Hmmm so ganny would be black if he didnt have that thing on his forehead huh.......what are the odds

 

[pdk]

clearly a SUPREME VICTORY

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Actually, shadenexus is African-American. Anyways, at least Black people have made a name for themselves in culture, politically, in the arts, and such. Us Native Americans were forced out of our land and forced to dwell in Casino reserves and our old pejoratives are now being used for Major League sports teams (The mascot for the Indians is basically Jim Crow to us). I don't be;ieve anyone called a black (or any ethnicity) racist really.

And pdk, QTF

So you're Native American HMBG? Cool. I'm 1/16 Cherokee (not enough to brag about though...) and there might be some Lakota Sioux in the mix as well. So what tribe(s) are you? On the topic of that and KI...

CHIEF THUNDER FTW!​

 

[pdk]

pff, t. hawk is where it's at, he is clearly SERIOUS BUSINESS:

and how can you argue with a gue who has a move where he grabs you by your head, jumps in the air and swings you into the ground with one arm?!

 

[TaikaAli]

This is epic win!
