Looks a little uninspiring in design, could use more flare in the headdress and head area. Not all Arabs are textbook in white headdresses. i'm liking the way he moves though, very fast like the wind.

Don't like his design but his game play looks interesting.

This message is in "Boulet Time" (TM), If you still *really* want to see it, click here

:-D that wouldn´t be really smart marketing move. I expected him to block all attacks with a child or woman. :-D

My friend works at Capcom..

I heard that the empowered self-expressive female fighters make him so angry that he after he wins each fight he covers them up in Burka's.

And then makes them one of his wifes.

True story.

The red colored Keffiyeh (which is more commonly worn than than the white version in Middle East) is already used by Tekken's new arab character. Though the white colored Keffiyeh is generally more popular in the Gulf states.

They could have tried using Arab turbans but nowadays, it's more associated with Persians or Indians.

Wonder what would happen if one would apply that logic to let's say the jews. Would that be considered racist?

Oh you have far bigger problems dude:

1. Not all arabs are Muslim.
2. Not all Muslims are Arabs.
3. Not all Muslims are terrorists.
4. Not all terrorists are Muslim.

Yet as soon as this character was revealed, you and mindless people like you all over the internet had to make the Arab Muslim Terrorist comment and make fun of the fact that Capcom had made the revelation of this character on Sep 11th.

Thank God not all people are like you.

And why the hell my comment ended up in bullet time? Oh I forgot....I made fun of always peaceful and amazing muslim people. Media prevent us from saying a word against them, because it's xenophobic, right? Having fun of european, japan or other people is ok,....but no....don't touch muslims. Stupid.

i'd argue any xenophobic comments are pretty fucking shit tbh. but if you're going to make such a comment you should be ready to get called out for being a cunt. you really have no right being all butt-hurt over being boulet timed saying what you said.

edit: what is it with street fighter V bringing out out all the bigoted arseholes?

This website is about games right? So, what would you gain by making such a comment, other than being made out a prick with tasteless humor? It's clearly that you need something off your chest, but take that shit to some other place. I apologize if i offended you (even though you clearly are a cunt).
