Repatriate Nelson? Angel Revision#KOFXIV

There was quite a celebration when team South America was announced, but then when the bios were revealed, there was a little outcry because South America was in fact two Brazilians and one Colombian (who lives in Brazil).  Some wondered what was the point of the team name, some thought it was ok, some think Nelson should represent a different country.

 

There were some interesting points like how the characters were recognizably Brazilian, so maybe it’s not going to be possible anyway! We also talked about the metallic skin effect, punching children, Nelson vs Vanessa, Angel’s movelist and other production choices in our reaction discussion video below, which was on YouTube gaming #twexit

 

Speaking of Angel’s movelist, after the silly messing about at the end of the discussion video, I whipped up better clearer quick revision videos to prepare you for Angel, if her movelist is the same… It could a good idea to grab kof 2002 um off steam, on sale right now!!!

    Wonders how they looks “Brasilian” Persona when Brasil has the largest African population on planet earth. I certainly dont see any black people on the South American team either. Really, were using fighting games as a litmus test for racial equality? So i guess were going to edit every XIII stages?

  2. Everything would be fixed if they rename the team to “Brasil Team” or, change Nelson to Argentina (or Peru, Uruguay, whatever).

    If Birthplace is so important to these people can’t they just say that Leona was born in Venezuela or something like that?
    But I agreen with the Felipe Moro. Neymar was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Nelson.

    I mean its STILL South America? Idk maybe i don’t see the big deal (don’t get me wrong, i DO get it but doesn’t really bother or effect much to me). Least its not like Team Italy (Fatal Fury) in 94, where none of them had anything to do with Italy

  5. Felipe Moro says:

    The main problem is that they are all clearly brazilians. Even Nelson, that people had some doubts, was probably inspired by Neymar. http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/116D8/production/_88048317_031205556-1.jpg

    Even Zarina not being brazilian looks like an afterthought when they realized that they wanted “Team South America” and not “Team Brazil”. She is a capoerista and a sambista. Both of these things are as brazilian as it gets.

    South America deserves its own team, but they need to be made to be South Americans. Argentina, Chile and Peru should have their own characters, with their own culture and looking like they were born in that country.

  6. If there is someone with a lot of people to support him, he can count me in.

    I think it’s too late now… but you never know….

  8. There is an initiative? Put me in because we need variety, not just Brazilians. I mean, everyone dreamed of their country being represented by a new character but now there is two Brazilians. Can we change it?

  9. They should change the name to Brazil Team to equilibrate the tree nations of America: USA Team (Heavy D!, Lucky, Brian represents the English), Mexico Team (Angel, KOF, Ramon represents the Spanish) and Brazil (Zarina, Nelson, Bandeiras representing Portuguese).

    Não, Nelson é Brasil e pronto.
