His outfit looks more like he got discharged from the Air Force for unorganized street fighting and wound up handling bag check. Laughing

It seems that Guile decided that life in the military has burnt him out and decided to slow down a bit by becoming a airport security guard.

His outfit kind of looks like Jean-Claude Van Damme's uniform from the live-action Street Fighter film.

Well, so much about DLC bringing more diversity to the cast. First two characters were literally hard-boiled white american males.

Way to go, Capcom.

The next 4 characters are Balrog, Ibuki, Juri, and Urien. That as diverse as you can get.

Ibuki is good news - I'll likely grab the game once she's in.

Yay! Ibuki! But no Sakura?! I am very disappoint. Sad

See, the lack of sleeves made me think he was just a brutish muscle man. But the tie proves he is a cultured gentleman.

Someone's not familiar with Alex or Guile's popularity or aware of the fact that Street Fighter's cast historically has been diverse in the different nationalities represented.

Erm, who cares? It's a fighting game. As long as the controls and mechanics are good, nothing else matters. Also, if you're gonna play identity politics, drop the "American" part. American nationality is solely defined by citizenship. You can be black and American, Chinese and American. Americans are a diverse pot of people. It's not like Greece, a country that is exclusively white.

Checked out Guile's trailer just now, he's looking pretty wild. Got a stationary fireball as his V-Skill and his V-Trigger was letting him chuck 5 EX Sonic Booms. His theme and stage are rad. Still not gonna use him though lol, waiting to see what Juri and Urien are like.
