Capcom Shows SF's Ken as African American; Honestly Admits Fan Contest 'Was a Terrible Idea'

May 16, 2008 11:12am CST tags: We Love Golf!, Screenshots
Publisher Capcom has released new screenshots from We Love Golf! (Wii), which it claims to show the "first African-American incarnation of [Street Fighter's] Ken Masters."

The outfit comes out of contest in which Capcom asked fans to pick alternate costumes for new characters in the Camelot-developed title. As a result, Mark can mirror Ken's look and Stephanie can be made up to resemble Darkstalkers' Morrigan.

"Everybody at Capcom had lots of extremely good reasons why this was a terrible idea," the company said of letting fans select alternate outfits. "But then we did it anyway!"
