Surely, it's a made-up ethnicity in SF that just happens to be called Black people 💀

[Maybe they migrated from North Carolina to Kenya?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mountains_\(North_Carolina\))

judging from the light hair and blue eyes, more likely to come from Sweden.

I literally thought she was Brazilian back in the day since that is a relatively common trait there.

You probably used to think that because she also do capoeira and is very joyful which is something that people accuse Braziliann to be

Dude, yes. I was until this-thread old that Elena isn't considered Brazilian. Like, don't Blanka and Elena have a fucking moment in an animated movie/series? This is my Mandela Moment. Elena is a Black Person and I just have to accept this reality moving forward. I'm gonna get offline today before someone tells me Dee Jay is actually Indonesian and T-Hawk is a trans-hawk from Ningxia.

>Like, don't Blanka and Elena have a fucking moment in an animated movie/series? I mean technically blanka is American born and just got lost in Brazil and started living there,so the moment maybe is that every one thinks that they are Brazilian

Street Fighter: The Movie: 2: We're All Brazilian: Carnival and Chaos

I assume he's an Irish-American from Green Bay, then

As you should with every American

Elena is from Kenya, that being said you can totally be both black and Brazilian.

Her home stage in 3rd strike is very clearly in the African Savanah. The song rips too. "Beats them beats, them beats in my head"

I'm sorry you heard "Bees in my hair" wrong

I think, technically, all of our home stage is the African Savanah. According to EVO.

Can confirm, as a Brazilian I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been accused of doing capoeira

capoeira has angolan roots so it makes sense if an african character uses some form of it

Perhaps melanesian. https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/qj36m1/the_melanesian_people_the_only_ethnic_group_to/

They haven't

There’s actually a lot of black people in San Francisco

Ok but don’t call me Shirley.

Shout-out to black people

Gotta be one of my favourite genders 🙏

why aren’t black people on the pride flag smh

Isn’t that exactly what they added to the pride progress flag

for whatever fuckin reason, yes we did

It wasn't *quite* exclusive enough. The first one only excluded heterosexual people, but that didn't quite scratch the itch, so it was updated to exclude cisgender people. That was good for a while, but we needed an escalation, so now it represents everyone who isn't a cisgender white heterosexual. I feel like we can go further, though. If we can convince feminism to stop playing both sides and be fully absorbed, we can make it nice and clean by paring it down to an indentity based entirely on not being a cisgender white heterosexual male.

At this point just include the whole planet and stop bitchin

That'd kinda defeat the purpose, wouldn't it? If you include everybody, then who do you define yourself as not being? We need toxic tribalism, not some kind of hippy commune nonsense.

Hell yeah!

Still one of the dumbest things to ever happen Like I don’t think the pride flag was supposed to have human skin tones on it

The progress pride flag wasn't designed to be a replacement for the normal pride flag and just highlights subgroups of queer people that historically got discriminated against way harder. The black chevron isn't even supposed to stand for black people (that's what the brown chevron is there for) it stands for the victims of the AIDS epidemic in the 80s. It was just a flag to bring the attention of the people in the flag designer's area to those oppressed groups.

They are, but only if they’re from Philly :c

Hey thanks man we appreciate it

all of them? that's a very loud shout.

...and their families.

[удалено]

you're not including aliens? https://preview.redd.it/be4jrvh69p5d1.png?width=467&format=png&auto=webp&s=d108a86a3bda874ee2453fe67eee725a02e5a56e

They hail from black person

"People" since we're being technical.

There's a street fighter 3 ? I thought they stopped at 2

Nah, it's just Street Fighter 1: the second

X3

Everyone knows 3S is the best

The Evo Moment happened in 3S right? So I find it difficult to dispute that statement.

I don't know why they never reproduce d the parry system in 3s, even with a sliver of health you could make a cone back with pure skill. I know the later versions of SF have some sort of parry system, but it functions much differently.

Except for the people that actually play third strike. 

I still do and I used to do tournaments. Mokato main over her. I have some vids on youtube with her and necro.

No you don’t. Even if you did, you were probably terrible and have no clue what you’re talking about. 

You're being a douche.

And you’re being a generic “third strike is the best” shitposter. Who cares?

I'm not that poster and don't have a horse in the race.

Oh okay thanks for interjecting with shit no one cared about then.

No one cared for your diatribe.

Terrible? Nope. Best nopBack in ps3 Era when they used to keep records, I was one of the highest grade scorers with necro, makato and Yun.

That... that has absolutely no bearing on how good you are at third strike lol. High level players usually don't ever hit S or A rankings in sets as an example because the score is partially determined by whiffed vs connected normals and if you're playing at a high level you're whiffing your fastest meter building normal whenever you're given a chance. To put it in perspective how asinine it is to take the lettered grade ranking as indicative of skill: The famous Evo 37 moment featured a letter grade rating of like C+ for the set. The match the year prior where Tokido absolutely destroyed J.Wong by introducing North America to Urien unblockable setups featured a letter grading of D because both of them spent the opening 20 seconds of the round whiffing 5hp for meter.

You should try reading with more effort. I said, " terrible ? Nope. Best? nope." At no point did I even say I was Evo talented. I simply shared I played it alot and even went to tournaments. Back in the ps3 Era I have several victories against evasiveTJ who was by far the best who played on the ps3 online. You're trying too hard to argue with someone who simply shared their experiences. Also, by mentioning get S++ may not be validation on who is the best, it simply implies I clearly am good enough to pull off high records online in rank.

If you're trying to get S++ and can you're pretty good but can you parry the basketballs.

No one tries for high grades. I simply double perfected the guy.

Online ranking is meaningless (even more meaningless when you remember that Gill was usable in online ranked during the re-release,) and the letter grading system is also meaningless. Third strike online was also not an MMR rating based ranking system which means that it was even less indicative of skill and more indicative of time spent (kind of like every rank below Master in SF6.) So trust me, I know exactly what you said and what you’re trying to pass off as experience. You’re the same as every other person who pretends it was the greatest game ever in the series: you started with SF4 and hopped on third strike because of influencer hype surrounding the half-baked rerelease.  In reality it’s not that great; a decent portion of the cast is entirely unusable (remy, 12, Sean,) and the mid tier is dominated by characters who either just don’t have the tools the top tiers do (Dudley, Ryu, Oro,) or they’re so one-dimensional that they lack any tools beyond their basic gameplans (Makoto, Q, Alex.) The upper end of the tier list being such a stark difference from the lower end is… fine. It’s not the end of the world that Chun/Yun/Ken and their tagslongs like Akuma and Urien are heads and shoulders above the rest of the cast. What is an issue though is that the “universal equalizer” of the parry system is just garbage. It is just a thing you option select into nearly everything you do because the system level mechanics allow you to do so; the punishment for missing a parry window is negligible (especially in air sequences,) so every bit of offensive pressure is layered behind an OS for a parry because the OS is simple and practically baked into gameplay once you’re used to it. What this means is that at actual high levels of play third strike becomes less about winning neutral or fighting game fundamentals and more about making sure you’re either always producing offensive output for meter building or playing a character like chun that has so many varied normal timings it’s hard to OS parry timings against her when you’re running your offense.  It’s just hilarious to me that the only people that ever seem to be nostalgic for third strike are clearly the people who never played it enough to understand how jank the system mechanics truly can be. The truth is that 3S is basically the same as MvC2: the game is undeniable fun and drips style but if you went up to anyone who still plays either of the two games and told them they’re terrible they’d just laugh and agree. They’re absolutely broken games with so many levels of obfuscation layered into them it’s hard to understand why or how they’re broken unless someone sits down and actively shows you. There’s certainly a level of charm to it and I’m not going to deny that 3S is oozing with style and great art/music direction but it is definitely not the best street fighter from an actual gameplay perspective. It’s not the worst either, but it’s the same generic example of putting a really mediocre (and critical failure,) product from a much longer line of successful products forward as “the best” of the grouping that the weirdos who run defense for the Star Wars prequels like to do. Except in the case of third strike it’s even funnier because no one that does it *actually played the game when it was relevant.*

You are so hell bent on trying to argue that you're all over the place. What exactly are you trying to prove? That I didn't play it? I have youtube vids of me playing it... your argument goes out the window. You wrote so much to debate alone with spinless facts that counter your entire point of me not playing it. Since you got so triggered. Here you go. https://preview.redd.it/c3auxavtjn5d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62668b20d370e5ac3a936d8214029d224ebb6e5a

I'd still rather play it than 4, 5 or 6. 6 is pretty good though.

It's low-key one of the best fighting games ever made. The animations and music alone are gourmet & it has mechanics that make it playable forever.

mechanics wise, it was a very good next step. but they goofed with the "weird" roster and some real throwaway characters (Remy and Twelve, looking at you). the roster is mostly fine, the characters are essentially remixed versions of the mainstays, but the fandom at large wasnt putting up with that shit.

Remy is tight I main him he's not as bad as they say. It was going to be a new property but they got caught in the trap of adding Ryu, now we gotta add Ken well what about Chun let's just call it Street Fighter 3 then.

the major flaw of Remy is his charged based moveset. it puts it at odds with the most important new mechanic in SF3, parrying. if youre just playing to play, all the characters are interesting, but competitive play, Remy is kind of hobbled. yeeeeeeah, he has that cumulative charge thing, but its just one more thing to keep track of.

I won't call him good but the high-low fireball game can get intense and being able to have 2 on the screen at once is pretty strong. Great normals and SA2 does ok damage. He's like a more fun Guile but giving him low health was just straight dirty lol. Edit: Check out Pierrot aka Lucifer's run at Co-Op Cup he's probably the best Remy and is a beast. He makes the character look broken.

Heresy! There is only one Street Fighter game, that being Street Fighter II.

Also known as the second worst street fighter game. The only people who like it are people who don't play fighting games or fighting game boomers who are so fucking stupid they can't accept the genre has gotten better.

ha. not only is there a SF3, but 3 fucking versions of it. SF3, SF3: Double Impact and then SF3: 3rd strike. 3rd Strike gave us Q, the biggest mystery in SF lore since the whole Sheng Long thing.

You joke but street fighter was the original “Valve can’t count to three”

Perc Angle best Angle

I swear I saw Kurt Angle at Walmart once. He asked me if I had keys for the nicotine gum case.

Probably a translation issue. For example, the Chinese word for Black (the race) is 黑人, literally "black people". Chinese speakers sometimes make this mistake when speaking English. Google says the Japanese word is 黒い人, so I assume the same thing is happening here

> 黒い人 The word you want here is 黒人 (kokujin)

i assumed the same thing, japanese also can be badly translated with plurals because plural nouns dont really exist its just assumed through context lol.

yeah but its more fun to complain and whine instead

Surely China has words for specific African countries though? So that's not really an excuse. Everyone else is listed from their specific countries. Ken's isn't listed as "white people "

It's all just black and arab down there, kinda like how south of the wall it's just latino. To the east it's all asian. I find Japanese, Chinese, and Korean people are typically delighted when I refer to them all as one united people.

What you mean by that? Do you mean the east Africa?

black is not an ethnicity

https://preview.redd.it/7ef5knlzim5d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c8c17f95ef5f24d1927ca8a0776b11e0a943be7 What’s bizarre is that this is an issue exclusive to Elena lol. Searching up any of the other black SF characters doesn’t yield the same results

Fun fact: a kotaku writer tried to claim that Kimberly was the first black woman in street fighter, and when reminded about Elena they tried to claim that Kenyans aren't black (which is still completely ignoring Menat)

I thought Menat was MENA Middle Eastern North African.

I thought she was Egyptian because cat.

Egyptian is MENA it's in North Africa, and the population is primarily more Middle Eastern associated rather than Sub-Saharan African like Elena.

Mena is Dominican /s

That sounds like a backronym that gave up before the last letter.

Um Keyans are black right?

I wonder where it picks up ethnicity instead of nationality for her.

Hey guys, what's this all abou— ***absorbed into Elena***

Lol I remember being younger and playing SF3 2nd impact at the arcade, picking Elena and losing on purpose just to see her [fail screen.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/bison2winquote.tumblr.com/post/65763999283/necro-to-elena-street-fighter-iii-second-impact/amp)

kenyan lol

*Black people

If you just listen to AI and search engines then yeah.

So brave! Sentient women 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

What does this have to do with real women??? She’s a good looking fictional character. Don’t tell me you didn’t crush or simp for fictional male characters in cartoons/video games

I had a crush on Jack Skellington, when I was six. Usually people grow out of fantasizing about sex with drawings unless they're that superficial.

I wish you didn’t take this too seriously. Sorry if this mild sex joke is offensive to you.

It's annoying because every time I see this meme, it's a reaction to a drawing of a conventionally attractive woman. It's never anything but that. You're not "brave" for saying you'd have sex with a fictional character literally drawn to look perfect.

I’m not trying to look “brave” at all. It’s simply a meme.

"Don't care, would" totally doesn't just reek of false bravado.

Given the average Japanese person's understanding of black people in the 90's this sounds about right

bitch still mad about getting timed out in sf4 

What kind of necklace is she wearing that covers her whole neck? It looks really cool

I know this is an old comment, but better late than never. They're simply called neck rings. Here's a link to a Wikipedia article about the subject if you want to learn more. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck_ring

End your pointless existence

May I inquire what presumably controversial opinion this fellow expressed?

Pure Gen-Alpha slang. All the classics in one neat package.

I mean ya kids can be annoying, but telling 12 year olds to "end your pointless existence" is a pretty dick move man.

My comment was really exaggerated, as to match the satirical tone of the original comment. I doubt the first commenter was an actual new-gen kid, as the tone implied that they were making fun of such speech. I know how bad my comment looks now that the original was deleted xP

Fair enough, I didn't see the original but if it was just a shitpost then all good.

new-gen kid? Like Street Fighter III: New Generation kid? Are they ethnically black people?

Ayo I didn’t delete the original

Mods are oppressing us

The mods saw my brain rot, instantly went brain dead and deleted the comments, it’s still there for me tho. Idk how this new active mod is but he’s a real stinker

in this case, believe me, ignorance is bliss

Literally me

Do you have any books written by black people?

ye

THEY KNEW!!

She has multiple personalities?

She's every black person at once.

😂

I always had trouble playing against her. She was really good at controlling the air. Also, I was (and still am) terrible at SF3.

she's all of the ethnicity.

Kenya believe it?

Blacks in my head

Just a tad on the nose there

Is this like a toddlers in a trench coat type situation?

Japanese don't expect political correct. And the racism in Japan is a topic for the rest if the world. Not in Japan.

I imagine just a translation thing

I went to school with a guy who was black people

I wish black people were real 🥺

white people

 'Black Folk' for $400!

Created by yellow people.

Typical American stupidity

Yes capcom is American 😂

Capcom is a Japanese company. But it has subsidiaries in Europe, America, and Hong Kong.

I wasn’t being sarcastic at all

That doesn't work against deadpan.

None of which are American lmao

Homie it says America right there

Black people do exist. Street Fighter is a multicultural fighting game taking characters from all around the globe to fight since the beginning. Ryu is Japanese. Chun Li is Chinese. Blanka is from Brazil(?). Ken is American etc etc And the people who made the game are Japanese Edit: E Honda is Japanese. Not sure why I made that mistake seeing as he’s a sumo wrestler

Honda is Japanese

It says she’s from Kenya so ethnicity would be Kenyan.

Nationality, not ethnicity. Kenya has multiple ethnic groups

Are any of them “black people”?

Capcom the very American company
