Of all the decisions made for the character... Did they really had to remain consistent in even bringing the badly acted lead from the South African dub?

Wow, that is a character clearly done on a limited budget. Just yeesh, guess the Saudi money really is drying up

People would complain if they changed a character's VA even if some people think it's bad.

Not like anyone can realistically compete with Daisuke Ono though. Japanese is the only .way to go

So Tekken gets Baki, Fatal Fury gets Fist of the North Star, and Street Fighter gets FF7 Remake. I think Fatal Fury won out in crossovers. Kenshiro seems the coolest of the three

Perhaps it was an order of the new Fist of the North Star anime's international rightholders? Which I don't know if it means it was Amazon.
Honestly, I don't why Amazon chose to dub the new Fist of the North Star anime in Transperfect South Africa, don't want to be too critical on the VAs, and I'm not even a native English Speaker, but I've seen some anime and animation in genral in English and this sounds bad. Which is weird because Transperfect's other international branches actually did a better job for the most part.
Aside from that, Kenshiro seems pretty cool in the Fatal Fury universe, don't know if SNK took some inspiration from the ArcSys Fist of the North Star game, which I've heard it's pretty unbalanced, but it seems Kenshiro has lots of moves from the manga/anime. I also like how is his stage there some broken Neo Geo arcade machines in the background.

I'm pretty sure nobody would complain about loss of the terrible VA who only started voicing the character a couple months ago for the show nobody is watching
