    Right, she looks more Brazilian now or something. Also they did whiten-up her facial features and not just her skin color. Japan.

    Urrgh. She is exact the same skin tone wise as VF5 vanilla. There are now more options to change her skin colour though. Same as everyone else.

    Yeah she's still black. A lot of players seem to like bleaching her though. It's kind of sad really. I rarely see an actual black version of Vanessa on Japanese replays.

    Pretty sure he was black yo, and like Marly said you have the options to make her appear more like her VF4 look in FS ...at least in the arcade version.

    I want a black woman in a fighting game.

    That doesn't have silver hair.

    You can bet your ass when I get FS I'm gonna have fun with Vanessa.

    I always assumed the Jiu Jitsu/Vale Tudo stuff would make her a shoo-in for Brazilian. But her last name is Lewis...? Someone should ask AM2 why she looks so different. Also Jean is French but speaks Japanese, as do all the asian characters. Japan.

    Something about Jean just pisses me off.

    It's probably the collar.

    And the silver hair.

    We can fix that!

    To be fair, Jean is meant to be half-French, half-Japanese isn't he? It also says in his story he was childhood friends with Lion.

    Yes, and Vanessa's surname is Lewis because she was found and adopted by a mercenary named Lewis. This is all in the bios.

    Man, I can't be expected to read the story for this game! That's just preposterous!

    i knew about the character customization. but damn, i did not know you could change people's skin complextion.

    i hope the training mode in FS is better than than vf5. the resources and time used for dumb customization could be used in making a good training mode.

    Yeah but Jeffry was always aboriginal and Siba got cut because of suicide bomber jokes probably.

    If the Siba in Fighters Megamix was anything to go by then I think he was cut because he used a weapon.

    Yeah I'm joking mostly. It was probably that and the orientalism inherent to a middle eastern character like that. Free Siba.
