For years, the only representation of India in the hit video game Street Fighter was Dhalsim. He was a yoga master who breathes fire and uses yoga as a fighting style, and he have stretchable limbs. He's one of the popular characters from Street Fighter 2, but I have seen a lot of Indians not happy of his representation because, you know, he's not handsome and he looks like someone who doesn't shower.



Well, Street Fighter created a new Indian character. His name is Arjun


He is coming out probably early next year, and I want to know if you think his design is a better representation for India. He was a former cop who got framed for a crime, and his mission is to find the real murderer to clean his name. And he has wind-based powers.

Aside from India, another country that will get representation is Philippines. The new character from Philippines is named Yasmine.

She was a high school girl from the Philippines who is an expert in Arnis or Eskrima, which is a Filipino martial arts. She was supposed to be a shy girl, but whenever she fights, she gains confidence. She learned martial arts from her grandpa and she's looking for her missing brother. Her hair is purple because it's inspired from a very popular dessert flavor right now, which is ube. And, you know, because ube is very popular these days, and ube is from the Philippines, they gave her purple hair.

I like Arjun better. But may be they could have named him "Bhim" as he resembles Bhim more than Arjun.
Interesting fact about the girl from Philippines.
