Re: Soccer Johnny, Capoeria Kang & Gaucho Lao

And how can this sell well with the Brazilian market when the consoles MKX is currently available for are severely overpriced?

Nobody with a brain bought from the mainstream market here, instead, from people that bought outside the country and sold for a fair price, since any price above the one from US (for exemple) and below R$ 4.000,00. Or just bought directly outside Brazil.

Re: Soccer Johnny, Capoerua Kang & Guacho Lao

the ignorance in this thread. shits unreal. The disrespect for the beautiful game.

Agreed.
Futbol or football debate aside, the ignorance in this thread and online (in general) is STAGGERING.
You'd think that people never took a geography class.

Gauchos were the equivalent of cowboys in Brazil, more specifically in the region of Rio Grande do Sul.
Brazilian gauchos actually DID dress like that (and Brazilians do dress like that when they celebrate "Gaucho's Day" on September 20th).
Gauchos are greatly admired and renowned in Brazilian legends, folklore and literature.

Kung Lao isn't that far off from what a Brazilian Gaucho would have looked like.

He sure as hell isn't Mexican.
It's because of ignorance like this that people in the United States make also ignorant assumptions that everyone who speaks Spanish is also either a "Spaniard" or "Mexican."
Nevermind the fact that there are plenty of other South American, Caribbean and Hispanic countries in which people also speak Spanish. :roll:

There´s only 1 mistake in your post. Here in Brazil we do not speak spanish, we do speak portuguese.

There is no mistake in my post.
I was not implying that Brazilians speak Spanish.
I was likening ignorance of the Gaucho costume looking "Mexican" to ignorance of people in the US assuming that all people who speak Spanish only come from 2 countries.

Thankyou. I love it when someone makes a public service announcement about ignorance, then says something ignorant. Ha.

I also love it when people don't read my post or comprehend and assume things, and take my post completely out of context.

I would suggest you work on your reading comprehension skills because he didn't say that. This is how arguments get caused for no reason.

Yup.
Then people wonder "[MENTION=5028]Commander[/MENTION], why did you reply like that?"
Welp, there's a prime example.

I love how Johnny looks in the image with him pointing in the middle. Now I just wish he didn't jump as if he's on the moon.

This is Rio Grande do Sul, extreme south of Brazil.

Gaúchos are not from Argentina. Uruguay, Argentina and Rio Grande do Sul have similar source of culture, you have types of gaúchos on these regions.

Huh... It's nice to learn new stuff. I was aware of Argentina and Uruguay, didn't know they existed as far as Brazil, "there's nothing more argentinian than mate, asado and gauchos" is something people use to say.

However, we tend to be arrogant pricks here who believe they are superior than the rest of Latin America lmao.

Comemierdas existen en todos lugares, no solo en Argentina.

Like I've said before, I call him Mariachi Kung Lao because TO ME, he looks like a mariachi player. I'm Mexican, and I live in a city in Texas that is about 80 percent Hispanic, so I've seen my fair share of Mariachi culture, hell, our High School has Mariachi as an elective right next to regular band class. So this isn't me being ignorant, its me CHOOSING to call him Mariachi Kung Lao because that is what the freaking costume looks like to me. The only thing that is missing is the "flash" that you see in mariachi costumes, but either way, they're very similar, so I will continue to call him "Mariachi Kung Lao"

I don't think anyone's mad at you, but I get why people are generally uncomfortable with white folks going around calling all Latin@s Mexicans.

I understand that, and I'm not saying anyone is mad at me, I'm just explaining myself since I've called him a mariachi before :b

 

[FlawlessVictor]

There is a overlap/similarities between cultures (especially from neighboring counties), so I don't get why people are getting so bent out of shape about it.

 

[Cryo]

I lol everytime people say or think that "latino" or "hispanic" are a race, it's just an origin, I'm all of that and white at the same time, I'm hispanic because I speak spanish, I'm latino because I was born in Latin America, but I'm white because I just am.

Also, by american weird standards I'm also "italian" just because I have an italian surname, my great grandparents were sicilian.

I guess they have weird definitions in the US, or in any other place for that matter, I'm not going to put all the blame on the fellow northamericans.

Mariachis and gauchos? Apples and oranges...
