present day Gou[b]pachi
isn't wearing a karate gi, his ponytail has grown longer like Jinpachi's, he's wearing those classic japanese pajamas that are baggy all the way till below the knees and tied there (which looks pretty stupid btw), and his top covers only one side of his shirt. his face has been further changed, his beard has been made longer, his hair style is literally just like Jinpachi's and they even lengthened his ponytail but instead of it being held open, its just tied like Terry Bogard's. on top of that, the increased his body size to the EXACT SAME type as Jinpachi's while before it was relatively buff but like akuma's who is buff but not huge. when all this isn't bad enough, they even gave him similar stances and pics as Jinpachi.Asians don't have dark-skin, you idiot. why are americans so goddamn ignorant?!
okay, so by that token Ryo is no ripoff of Ryu.
ryu:
-brown hair
-middle parted short
-shorter
-white karate gi
-no t-shirt underneath
-calm and quiet
Ryo:
-blonde
-spikey, long
-tall
-orange karate gi
-black t-shirt underneath
-cocky and brash

1. Gee, who would have thought that in over a decade, Gouken's appearance would change?
White is basically the grey in SF, look at Gen. He's as old as the sun, and has white, not grey hair.
So having long ponytails, and baggy lower garments, and the fact that he shows chest(seriously dude, come on), and some of the changes you mentioned, are not even similar in appearance to Jinpachi, at all. And, Gouken, and Ryu, Ken, Gouki, and most SF characters for that matter, are buffer than Hinpachi from what I can recall. That's just the way the SF art is.
Yes, they do, relatively at least, compared to the likes of Ken(who is very fair skinned, bein American), and hell, his brother, Gouki, is also dark skinned, why wouldn't Gouken also be dark-skinned? And yeah, some Asians are dark in skin-tone, SOME, not ALL.
And please stop the flaming, I have not flamed you once, you are only presenting yourself as immature and impulsive. 🙂
Can you bring up a single time I have ever called Ryo a rip-off?
Seriously, do you just believe what you want to believe? It seems like every post you direct towards me, you bring up some shit I never even said.
Wtf?
And going by the pics, they are very different.
Clothes are totally different, face is not similar at all, beards look nothing alike, all they share is dark skin, buffness, and from the looks of it, that is it.
