i've studied every single 2D fighting game character to the bone, i don't need you to give me a history lesson on all of them, just argue against my point, we are talking about the game, not manga or cartoons(they're not official, as tarkanx would say):
ryu: he certainly does NOT have a brother. that SF movie was NOT official. he certainly doesn't have any personality. sure he maybe sad, but it's nothing out of the ordinary for a hero.
ken: some personality, but not original, just a rich spoiled boy who learns karate but doesn't have the talents to keep up with the main character(ryu)
sagat: Sagat's eyepatch came from a attack from ibuki's father(forgot name) and his eye was badly damaged. sagat later killed ibuki's father. he certainly doesn't look ANYTHING like a muay thai fighter(but his pupil, adon sure looks like one). if you just met him, you would never be able to tell he's a muay thai fighter if someone hadn't told you.
charlie: he does not look like a military personnel, he looks like a nerd with a pretty face. his looks doesn't say anything about his personality or his past.
chun li: her personality is really confusing. she's like half tomboy, half girlish. her moves aren't anything like chinese martial arts. just a chinese tomboy, i can find them everywhere at my school.
cody: sure he has a history, but does his looks tell you anything about it? his moves certainly makes him look like a criminal. picking up rocks throwing them at ppl, taking knives off the ground and doing cheap shots. capcom did not do a good job of showing his true personality.
Rose: mysterious women, well isn't that just original. so original that we don't even know her true personality.
Cammy: okay, i was gonna say something about her, but i guess i forgot to write it down. anyways, she is pretty original, but nothing more than a female version of guile. now, why would Bison's love be some chick in a military uniform? that is certainly BORING!
vega: a pretty face psycho path, well, that's original, i'll tell you that. the guy sucks as a fighter. he has to use claws to defeat his opponents and he can't fight good in a large area (he utilises the roof and walls very well).
guy: his looks doesn't say anything about how he is a ninja. his moves doesn't either. nothing about him reveals anything about his roots.
akuma: he's fairly cool,so not much to say.
dhalsim: this guy does not look like an indian guy. he looks like some cannible freak out of the amazon rainforest. the guy is bald(very unusual for indians) and he wears face paint(another indication that he's one of those south american indian type ppl). and he also wears that necklace of skulls on his neck(yoga is peaceful, wat are the skulls suppose to mean?). basically, that guy does not look human.
