In the end he´s gonna be a sheik obssesed with oil and u will be disapointed. :P

That's what the rumor said it was. An Arab obsessed with oil. *sigh*

Why not?  SF is all about obsession.

Ryu is obsessed with being a true warrior or something

Akuma is obsessed with being the strongest and finding a worthy opponent

Vega is obsessed with beauty

Guile thinks of nothing but what happened to charlie

Zangief is obsessively patriotic

Bison is obsessed with power

Balrog is obsessed with money

Dan is obsessed with himself and with spreading the name of his dojo and his style

 

I mean, if you just use these single sentences to describe people, a lot of these characters come off as obsessed.  And sure it's stereotyping but come on, it's SF.

Actually my sigh was because I'm obsessed with pointing out whenever people butcher the original source that said "arab grappler" and decide in their brain that it said "turkish oil wrestler".

Turkish, Arab, Pakistani, Israeli... Let's cut the crap and cut this man a royalty check lol :P
