Just something that occurred to me.
I think the only one I know of is Elena from Street Fighter 3. Every other black fighter in every other series is usually African-American, or from a country like England (lookin' at you, Dudley). Odd, innit? Or am I missing someone? --- "If the heroes run and hide, who'll stay and fight?" ~Saitama ... Copied to Clipboard!

That sycthe dude from the soul caliber series ? Zasalamel is a weird case, because even though he SEEMS to have an Eqyptian theme going on with his appearance, his official birth place is listed as "Multiple due to his ability to reincarnate" and his attack names are all based on Sumerian dieties, which seems to imply he's Mesopotamian, not African. --- "If the heroes run and hide, who'll stay and fight?" ~Saitama ...

on that note, seems like a missed opportunity to not have some African warrior in Soul Calibur, since they managed to add a North American warrior (Rock), but this is a series with lizardmen and golems, so idk >_>

Also, to your initial question, I WOULD consider Storm cheating because she's not a fighting game character.

Bison in the Japanese version, which is an homage to Mike Tyson, but in America, Tyson didn't allow the use of his name in the US so he's Balrog.
