  • Elena is my favorite character from Street Fighter. She's cheerful, her fighting style is cool. Why does it matter if she has blue eyes and white hair? Grow the fuck up.

  • I always thought Elena would have some ties to Ryu.

  • aside from the unnecessary comments, I say that Capcom has done a good job making a black character without the fucking stereotypes and made Elena with a playful personality other than the more overrated type we see in our country today

  • @somebutthead

    Slow one, you better not be calling me a racist retard, bitch. Cause my pimphand would be close to ur face, if you are so.

  • @JesusIzABlackMan Racist shithead

  • @MyFoodlsBad

    Capoeira is African/Brazillian Martial arts (sorry for my english, im brazillian)

  • Why is she not in SF4 yet?

  • @raijinzz

    Take a guess.

  • Elena vs christy mantaro.

    Elena is hot as fuck.

  • Elena is weird. She is from an "African Tribe". She practices capoeira, which wasn't developed in Africa. And has X-Men Storm's hair. I'm not really fond of her character. She's kind of a token African character. Like, the guys at Capcom were like, "Hey we need Africans! Let's throw together a cultural mishmash!"

    Elena's not the only one. I mean, basically everyone in SF is a stereotype, so I guess it's not that big a deal.

    And of course, she does everything in a tiny white bikini.

  • @markthewhalekiller Dudley is black. He's not a sterotype.

  • @borrow32 Not a black stereotype, a British stereotype.

  • Comment removed

  • @markthewhalekiller

    Capoeira was developed by African slaves based on African traditions. So it's technically developed in Africa.

  • I'm still a little disappointed in Capcom for not adding Elena. And next street fighter they need to make a true sequel and stop going backwards.

  • i can GARENTEE the if shes in ssf4 her rival will be able....went a little somthing like this...

    able: im from france!

    elena: NO WAY I WAS THERE A WHILE BACK

    FIGHT!

  • I see Brazilians in that family photo, not Africans :)

  • I doubt that I will ever see a strong Black woman in any video games. I don't understand why every 'black' girl in video games are super light and scantily clad(Christie, Vanessa, Storm, Tanya, Lisa, Sheva, Elena) The only one that I semi like is Rochelle from Left 4 dead 2, but even she was some from of stereotype. But then that was an American game.

  • She isn't really black, she's just a white girl with black skin, just like most anime/video game characters.

  • @TheInfamousBertman >_>

    Really someone were Africa not black -_-

  • @Devhawk124 I think what he meant was that she looks like a dark skinned white girl. She doesn't really have any "black" features (her hair is straight, her eyes are blue, facial features aren't exactly African in nature). That's not mention white hair, but that seems to be a stylistic thing.

  • @CricketWocky So, what do you think about Japanese women in street fighter like Karin and R.Mika who are blond with blue eyes.

  • @bqd89 I think it's weird, but again, nobody actually thinks Japanese people usually have blond hair and blue eyes. I'm only commenting on the fact that I've consistently seen Africans (specifically Africans, not black people) portrayed with white hair and blue eyes.

    Having one race specifically portrayed with a very specific characteristic not possible to them is different than the many colored rainbow everybody else has for their hair and eyes.

  • @CricketWocky

    I know this is a year old, but where exactly have you seen this consistent white haired and blue eyed Africans? Because when I see black people in general fiction, It's usually black hair and dark eyes with the occassional multi-colored eyes and hair. But I never see a consistent color, let alone blue eyes.

  • @TheInfamousBertman This is the most stupidest shit i've ever read

  • elena african goddess

  • its a fucking game you act like she real or something racist on game

  • Don't hate, people. Love.

    Elena I love you. Our victories are eternal and you'd always be in my heart.

  • What is with Japan and dark skinned women with white hair? I know it's fiction, but it pops up enough in other things to make me wonder if they think it's possible.

  • @CricketWocky

    It's a look inspired by Storm of the X-Men.

  • @CricketWocky because it's hot, and its a good color combo like yellow and black for bee's, black and white for zebra's, green and red for christmas/ mario and luigi. =)

  • Lol, she says the fights in Japan were way better than the ones in France. Mostly because her French opponants run away at the first opportunity, lol

  • Nice music.

  • my mom says there's a lot of black people in africa.

  • @OscarMaris Unfortunately your mother LIES TO YOU.

  • yes unfortunately ...

  • If she and her family are tribal people from Africa then why do they look white with REALLY bad tans? To me that's a bad look on CapComms part.

    That really pisses me off ... they look like they just rolled around in the mud and that's supposed to represent Africa. That's a disgrace and I sorta take offense to that...

  • @mcarter09

    Yeah, you know Sheva Alomar would never have made it into

    Residernt Evil 5 dark-skinned.

  • @mcarter09 I sort of agree, capcom and most other game publishers/developers are very cautious when it comes to presenting people from african and asia (unless they are eastern-asian)

    It seems like a bad idea to give Elena and her family european features, when they obviously come from an african tribe.

    Then again Balrog is definately black, but of course he's a boxer =/

  • she should be in super street fighter 4 but wont because her fighting style is too similar to deejay's...

  • Her fighting style is nothing like DeeJay's....

  • it is dance related...why have two chars like that? Tekken got away with it though....

  • Well they added Dudley to the game when they already have a boxer...but they play nothing alike. Same with Adon and Sagat. In Tekken it's different because Christie and Eddy play pretty much exactly the same.

    I heard Elena almost barely made the cut though...

  • @tehProdigy I guess that they wanted a black boxer that isin't an evil steryotype.

  • @tehProdigy Elena uses kicks only while DeeJay uses kicks and punches.

  • @Craniusrai DeeJay is a kickboxer. Elena uses Carporiera

  • A. why are eyes blue? B. Why did her family portrait full of trible whitle people?

  • LOL .. hah.

  • Comment removed

  • @crosafix

    It's anime style. And white hair + blue eyed Africans were popularized by Storm from the X-Men.

  • OMG I'M STILL TRIPPIN OFF OF THAT! I take offense to that for real? I mean this shit just doesn't make any sense to me. Her family looks like a bunch of white people with bad tans right? Or like they just rolled around in the mud or something.

    That shit drives me crazy. Some people in Africa do have blue eyes though so I'm not TOOO upset about that but the way the family looks is just inexcusable.

  • @mcarter09

    It's called anime-style. Most (if not all) the Asian characters on Street Fighter look like a bunch of white people too.

  • @mcarter09 well tbh capcom could not win either way when releasing a african character. They either draw her as they have, very diluted between black but with white features or adhere to racial stereotypes and add over exaggerated "black features", get branded racist or stereotypical and end up paying for it in the long run.

    Plus i wouldnt take this too serious, they only found out after a few years of gthe release of sf2, that zangief's name is not possible with the russian alphabet.

  • I respect capcom for making Elena and the racist are just jealous

  • @akumavsguile they already made Balrog(M.bison) and Dee jay

  • LONG LIVE ELENA! I just wish they created her earlier, along with Cammy and Chun Li

  • you're right. some people are just spewing racist nonsense that has nothing to do with the video. Elena is cool in the game with her fighting style.

  • Amazing..how could such a fun loving, likeable character could attract such bigotry and hate!!! Give it a rest guys!! Sheesh!! Hatin' time is over!

  • Elena is a strong, black woman. Nice to see one in a videogame and especially one portrayed so well. Love.

  • @duvy1234 But she's low tier.

  • I don't really care about that, too be honest. I play games for characters and story lines, not how strong the characters are...anyway Elena is still awesome

  • Okay... So just to get this back on topic. Or does that guy to the left of Elena look oddly familiar? I can't quite put my finger on it, but he looks like someone from somewhere.

    Also, noticing that Elena wears a school uniform in her Second Impact ending, you think she might go to the same school as Sakura? I mean, it could be from anywhere, but they could go to the same school as far as we know.

  • Why is Otakon in Street Fighter?

  • Because, he is the father of Elena, of course. Elena gets to travel the world because he helps out snake and takes him with her.

  • You know, I have a feeling that that wouldn't have been too far away from what her SF cartoon story would have been. The last episodes were released during the time of SFIII: NG, so if it had not been canceled, it would have moved on here. If came out in 1997, that would have been awesome! Since we get to see how they mess up everyone in hilarious ways! Cartoon Oro is something I really would have wanted to see.

  • *Looks below*

    Damn, guys! This is a freaking a game! Go do this in PMs!

  • Momma? Momma Luigi!? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • The only actual reason I'm replying is that you won't stop going on and on. I said earlier just to stop there, but you wanted to go on. So, you're just fueling this. I have nothing to gain from this, but you obviously showed everyone here that you're too much of an idiot to stop arguing for whatever reason, even when you're not winning the arguement nor moving it forward in anyway. This isn't even an agruement. It's just you cracking old and badly made jokes.

  • As I said myself, it does not benefit me nor does it serve me any purpose. So, shame on me for arguing with a dumbass like you. However, I gave an end to the arguement a good while ago. Yet, you continued. Thus, I responded to you being a jackass and continuing. And get this, I don't even think you're black. You being any ethnicity would be an insult to humanity itself. So you can continue using poor insults, I'll keep coming back simply because you continue to go on yourself.

  • This guy is hilarious dude! He says "momma" alot! XD!! He can't come up with any clever insults! It's always "gay", "ass", and "momma" XD!!! It's like arguing with a 1980s black movie stereotype!

  • Uhhhh... but... most of it is "gay", "momma", "retard", "cracka", "ass", "bitch" and a bunch of typoes. O_o

  • Actually, he's pointing out that those were your keywords. Not that that was all you typed. His keywords are more relevant to this situation. Since he's pointing out that you're behavior isn't very rational. Your keywords are bad attempt at jokes.

  • Actually, calling you an idiot is more appopriate, since calling you a retard would be an insult to the mentally challenged. At least their case was beyond their control and yours isn't. You're an idiot because you don't even want to come to a neutral agreement.

  • You aren't black, You aren't even a human being. You're proud of that, I'm sure.

  • I think he's he's a bit upset. The more angry a person gets, the less intelligible the messages become. And his are very unintelligible. They lack structure, only a lot of how he's smarter and crap like that. And he uses a lot of shorthand, the comments he makes don't have a lot of thought or effort in them. Obviously he's around 14.

  • I'm actually not upset at all. You're the one getting phased here. As I said, I gave a neutral compromise here and you still continued. I'm just continuing for the hell of it, you're the one mad here.

  • Why would I tell him to continue? I told you that we'd do this through PMs. Thus, he did it on his own.

  • OOOOH! A momma joke! I'm so insulted! I'll go cry now, for I have no possible comeback to that!

    Grow up. You feel the need to win a "arguement" here when there is none. You decided to be some jerk-off who just wanted to kill time irritating people. That's probably all you know how to do and the type of people you hang around due to absence of any social skills. You know, I was agreeing with you at first that the other guy was being dumb about Elena's appearence. But, you're just an asshole.

  • I told him that I could handle this by myself. You can go all day with me here. I'm not stopping you and you have nothing to talk about, obviously. But, for the sake of this video, let's do this through PMs. It's off-topic enough as it is. And no, I'm not trying to win anything here. As I told you, there isn't an arguement. Just a degenerate that doesn't know when to stop

  • You have visual aids.

  • NOT THE HEADBITE!

  • *snort* XD!!!! Your a broken record, dude. And you may be a lord. The only lord you are, btw, is the lord of FAIL. I mean come on, momma insults? Again? Please. That... doesn't even phase me. It's... kinda funny... heheh... omg... every other word is "momma" XDD!!!! OMG!!! It's all you can say!

  • ...surf... up? O_o

  • So, go on. Keep them comming. Let's see what you're capable of in the art of conversation.

    As for Shindarkfox, he did this on his own. He knows me, but he chose to jump on his own accord, since he's rather bored as well. As I said, you can't call what you're doing as arguing. You're just having a pissy-fit and spamming cusswords because you can't think of anything else.

  • I didn't ask him to. He did it on his own. As a matter of fact, I'll tell him to back off if that would do you good. And no, I'm not trying to sound smart, this is my usual tone of speech. And if you think being black means spamming my favorites with 50 Cent, Lil' Wayne and all that, than you are sadly mistaken. If that were what you were basing it on, than I suppose every white person who listens to rap is black.

  • Comment removed

  • I guess that'd make you one. You're replying back, I see. I told you, PMs. So, the reverse is more true than others, since you obviously have to prove something by "winning" here.

  • is her photo with her family they dont look black at all. and for the record i am BLACK and they all look like there fckin hispanic

  • yeah, and her style of fighting is capoera, which is brazilian. i think they mistranslated what country she was supposed to be from ...

  • capoera is a african origin, which originated in africa and went over to brazil.

  • um i guess so, i mean it was created by africans who were living in brazil based off african styles, but over time its developed into a uniquely brazilian fighting style. i dont think you could find anyone from angola today who can do capoera like afro-brazilians can

  • The designers didn't want to make her TOO black because that's unappealing to some people, so they made her caramel-colored which everyone seems to like

  • .....what a stupid damn statement. I seen black ppl who look like that. You realize there black hispanics rite? Jesus christ man, and i doubt you are black with that dumbass statement

  • are you fckin stupid? first of all i know that there are black hispainics, dumbass quite aware of it. and second if she was black hispanic she wouldn't be from fckin africa or even represent africa. AND I AM BLACK. MY SKIN'S DARK AS FCKIN DAFFY. SO STFU CAUSE I KNOW WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT.

  • R u retard? Then y u said her family look hispanic then? LOL, there are black ppl that look the same that are born in England to Jamaica, from France to America. U r a fucking retard & u aint black. U & ignorant fucks like you need to stop thinking that all Africans look all the same. Just in case you didnt know, Sade, Iman, etc. were born in Africa. LOL, as daffy duck? Why u couldnt mention it dark like 50 Cent, Welsey Snipes, etc? You hate dark skin blacks as well, u r sad & u r white.

  • OMFG! R u serious IM FUCKIN 100% BLK. end of story she doesnt look like a fuckin african, to be an african. she didnt came from france or fuckin england, it says that she's african but she looks hispanic. there's no cross race relationship, or fuckin migration to another country said in her fuckin bio. i kno wat the fck im talkin about and if you were black you'd kno wat i mean.

  • I am black, stupid (which you aint'). You think all AFRICANS are dark skin with nappy hairs (which is nothing wrong wit it, my problem wit you is YOU THINK every black africans look like that) . Which isn't true at all. When african slaves were force to moved to brazil, you think they magically all of sudden they got long straight hair & all of them light skin? LMAO. AGAIN, look at SADE, IMAN, etc. THOSE WOMEN WERE BORN IN FUCKING AFRICA. Stop being stupid & u r white.

  • you're really starting to piss me off. and stop puttin words in my mouth. i never said that all black people are dark skinned and have nappy hair. but majority of them do. so it pretty fuckin hard to distinguish her as an AFRICAN when she obviously DOESNT LOOK LIKE ONE.and for the record, im black, my mom and dad are black and i look like i could fit rite in with africans cuz i look like a FUCKIN AFRICAN. OH AND LET ME GUESS YOU'RE LIGHT SKINNED AINT YOU. THATS Y UR SO PISSED LMFAO. PUSSY.

  • I hate to interrupt such a riveting debate between you and shadowghostra. But, you both realise that you're getting worked up over FICTIONAL BIOS about FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, right?

    I'm not trying to pick on you, but it's just pixels and computer animation. We don't need stereotypes and name-calling. Let's drop the race issue and enjoy the game and videos like REAL SF fans.

  • tru, tru. but i was jus giving my opinion. I didnt really need to sense of the situation but i honestly dont care about it. i was jus arguing with that jackass 4 fun, nothin personally. =]

  • STFU cracka, I always stick up for my ppl whether real or not! AFRICA, AFRICA AFRICA. Just b/c ur cracka mom suck some dark skin black dicks from 5 hundred men, doesnt mean YOU ARE FUCKING BLACK!!!!!!!!

  • @Gammakilla racist asshole

  • fuck you bitch, go burn in hell with gamma bitch ass wanna be killa!!!!!!!
