I might aswell not participate in this Collab as Capcom never Included my Country by Making a Canada Street Fighter serioysly why does Capcom hate Canada
EXACTLY! Why does all games publisher never think about the Canada? Only NHL games and Rainbow Six Rogue Spear did.
Finally a Fellow Canadian who Agrees with me Seriously we do Deserve our own Street Fighter charactar seriously and some more dignity and rights but no one ever listens to us this Sucks
So what would make a Canadian Street Fighter special? Would he...have white skin and speak English? Do you guys have a military service, or unique cultural aspects, or anything special or important enough to address? Like, something that would make his home country worth mentioning, or interesting, or even funny? Street Fighters generally reflect where they're from in everything they do, and you can't really work with Canada, so that's probably your answer.
I mean, aside from the different flag, I don't see what you could do to make him unique and not just another white guy...well, maybe a busted French accent. Or maybe if he was like...just odd, like a gas station attendant with a bad temper, spoke Spanish and had a really strange fighting style, AND happened to be from Canada, that could be cool in its ridiculousness. Maybe like a lumberjack grappler? Although SF has more than enough grapplers, and if they wanted another one I doubt they'd turn to Canada. And nah, I wasn't making a weak maple syrup joke, just trying to work off the mindset the SF creators seem to have, as their characters are generally big stereotypes...buzz-cut American air-force guy, hardcore Hindu guy, honorable Japanese guy...
Yeah, I think thats it. You guys have no stereotypes. You're just a peaceful, largely unpopulated country with...not a whole lot going on...I guess maybe you guys export something? Oh and I heard something about your Burger King employees being bi-lingual? Is that true? Ours spit in our food.
Oh you know back to the buzz-cut American air-force guy thing...I just realized that they made Guile to appeal to American audiences, which it did. So the final piece to your puzzle probably revolves around Canada not having enough relevance to try to appeal to the low number of gamers there?
Just rambling and thinking out loud here, sry.
