Top 10 Most Offensive Street Fighter Characters
His personality has "African Brute" and "American Pig" written all over itself and has virtually no redeeming qualities. At least playing as him can be pretty fun at times.
He's supposed to be a Mike Tyson parody. In fact, he's Mike Bison in Japan. The character we know as M. Bison is Vega there. Our Vega being Balrog there.
The version of him that appears in Street Fighter 1 is actually a quite normal white guy. However, the version of him in the Street Fighter Alpha trilogy is a black guy who quite literally looks and acts like a gorilla. The Street Fighter 5 version adds an almost-equally offensive stereotype (the fat and gluttonous black guy) to this caricature. However, he generally is nowhere near as despicable as Balrog.
He is so much of a fat American idiot that he somehow thinks that going to the North Pole just to find cold weather is a good idea. In fact, it's a great idea.
In Ultra Street Fighter 4, he takes being an arrogant Asian jerk to the point where he almost causes Courage TCD's Di Lung to look like a nice guy at times.
He looks like one of the most stereotypical Chinese cowboys on Earth, and one of his main abilities is poisoning people (polluting Earth and spreading diseases).
Being a luchador might be normal in Mexico, but being a "Super Dynamic Cooking Luchador" who is so much of an idiot that he thinks combining one good-tasting thing with another always has good-tasting results definitely is not.
The fact that he basically has "Chernobyl" written all over himself would be pretty offensive even if he didn't look and act stereotypically black, have a name that can easily get mispronounced as "Neekro", and have an extremely white girlfriend.
He is a highly brutish American guy who takes being a pathetic dork completely obsessed with Japan to extremes. He wears utterly ludicrous-looking samurai armor during fights. In the original versions of Street Fighter Alpha 1, 2, and 3, he accidentally says things such as "Die Job Death Car?" after fights. This is due to the irony that, despite his obsession, he does not know how to properly use the Japanese language.
In practically all of the official Street Fighter games that he has appeared as a playable character in so far, he has taken being a terrible Chinese knock-off of the amazingly talented and Japanese Ryu to extremes. His version of Hadoken is so pathetically short-range that practically all of his standard attacks are more useful than it.
In Street Fighter 3, Sean has taken being a terrible (bubblegum-chewing and basketball-playing) black knock-off of the amazingly talented and non-black Ken to extreme levels. He's become even more pathetic than Dan in some ways. For example, Dan can actually use his version of Hadoken without needing to "super charge" it, while Sean cannot.
