are people (black or otherwise) actually upset over this or is it just people looking to get upset

It's SJWs being upset for the black community


Im biracial and this offends me so stfu

Lmao

you ask if someone is offended and then laugh when someone says they are? do you not realize how hurtful this can be for black people?

I'm laughing at your sensitivity and outrage being so desperate that you look for racism in everything. I'm laughing at the people who are trying so hard to be the victim in the most innocent of situations.

it sounds like you don't care if it offends people in which case there was no point in asking if anyone was offended. you neither understand nor want to understand why it's so hurtful to black people.

If you look at DK representing the final boss of Punch Out because of his own respective role in Punch Out Wii and start yelling out racism, then you're looking for a reason to be a victim, there is no reason to be offended over this unless you're looking for an excuse to be offended

He asked so he could laugh.

Remember, the cruelty is the point.

At what point did I ask?

Diddy Kong makes no sense. They should have used Captain Falcon

Imagine being outraged on behalf of an entire community, do you not think they're capable of forming their own opinions? Do they need you to show the way?

this is rich coming from the guy that laughed at a guy that said it offended them. even when a black person confirms it, you don't care.

You're damn right I don't care when someone is desperate to play the victim over something innocent

everyone is playing the victim to you. in your mind it's never genuine, and this allows you to easily dismiss other's viewpoints. it's a closeminded and unhealthy way to live. if you learn to connect with people more and try to see it from their point of view, you would be able to understand why this bothers people.

So do they get the move set from Donkey Kong, Diddy, and the thiefguy?

Still not understanding the outrage here

Basically whatever fighter represents the Spirit, they are supposed to use moves that represent that fighter. For Dee Jay since his moves consist of acrobatic kicks, Diddy spams Side B which is a flip kick.
For Sandman DK's punches are buffed plus the stage has a tendency to put you to sleep, with a hidden reference that DK took Sandman's place in Punch-Out Wii. Tac is a thief enemy from Kirby and Villager's standard B is Pocket, which steals items and enemy projectiles to use later.

So there are legitimate reasons for the characters chosen, but an unfortunate side-effect that comes in western countries.
