Say what you will about Capcom USA's track record for, you know, the actual making of video games (I'm looking at you, Final Fight: Streetwise), but you can't deny that they at least listen to their public. Everything from Ben Judd's recognition of the petition for a Wii port of Bionic Commando, to the Street Fighter 2 HD team's constant interaction with the readers of their blog, Capcom USA has consistently proven to prioritize the opinions of their audience. This policy of respect continues with currently open online poll to decide not one, but two US exclusive outfits for the upcoming Wii title We Love Golf. The contenders may surprise you. Outfits likened after the failed Capcom mascot Captain Commando, Power Stone's Rouge, and Mike Tyson impersonator Balrog are all in the running. Even Dead Rising's Frank West is a contender. As much as I love Frank, the black man in me has to vote for Balrog and Rouge. I can't help but want to see if Capcom would respect their fan's demands enough to actually turn their lily white golfers to Soul Man brown (link NSFW for language). I may not vote for Obama, but Balrog has my full support. You too can show your solidarity for brown skinned video game characters by voting here. Today, a golf game. Tomorrow, the free world!

More from this author: 
Yeah, we need more black video game characters outside of Madden and GTA!
I think Gears of War and the Afro Samurai video game are good steps in the right direction.
Balrog?!? I know its a joke vote, but still, I feel dirty putting his name instead of Ken. I will choose to not vote :(
Balrog? We voted Haggar into office already.
Mike Haggar.
The election was months ago.
I want all of the Smiths from Killer 7.
Esse, you might want to spell 'exclusive' correctly for a main page post, Holmes.

doublepost bug ftl. sorry bout that, I was trying to be helpful, not a doubleposting condescending dick.
And here I was perfectly fine with the Chun Li and Jill costumes. I think this is a nice added bonus, since I'm a sucker for alternative wear, especially if they're homage to other video game characters.
But yeah, totally agree on your picks Jonathan. I originally was going to pick Morrigan, but seeing as she's a bit played out now, and the fact this would give Power Stone some more well deserved recognition, Rouge is the way to go.
Plus, I love me my arcade-styled boxers.
They should bring the Power Stone games to Wii.
That said, I would think Maya would fit for this somehow.
I personally picked Guy. I think his would look better on the course
Fuck Balrog. Everyone vote for Cammy! Vote for Cammy!
I voted for Frank West and Morrigan. I noticed your two choices are at the very bottom. Sucks.
It was one of the hardest choices of my life, choosing between Cammy and Morrigan. Ultimately I chose Morrigan.
And who the hell is voting for "Boring Red Gi" Ken? I should punch you in the face for voting Ken!
I voted Guy.
I want to see the dream of having our first Ninja-American president.
I voted for Balrog and Roll Caskett.
If it were any other version of Roll, I wouldn't have voted for her; however, considering it is Roll Caskett a-la Mega Man Legends, I had to vote for her out of my love for that series. It also makes me happy that, as of this comment, she is currently in the lead!
Needs moar Frank West
Sucks that Ken is winning as that's sooo to be expected!
I suppose now is a good time to tell you that you misspelled "exclusive" in the title and even Street Fighter II HD.
In regards to the typos, pics or the didn't happen.
Haggar rocks!
lol @ Jon failing while trying to hide a previous fail
YOU CAN'T EDIT COMMENTS!
hahahah
"pics or the didn't happen"
Just kiddin' ;)
Vote Cammy
Or I'll kill you.
@ Justice-
I was framed! They just pretended to find typos.
Honest!
I just want to point out he's holding up Balrog's UFS card, and you should all play that game if you're into card games 'n' stuff.
Balrog it is if he keeps his boxing gloves to play golf.
People. Captain Commando is one of the options.
Captain. Friggen. Commando. And he's almost tied with Ken for votes. We can make this happen.
I voted for him and Roll Casket ftw.
Where's the love for Dhalsim? This is bunk...
Balrog 2008!
Sorry dude, that should have read "which female Capcom character would you love to sex with"
...Morrigan of course. Only 'cause that hawt Bridget isn't Capcom.
Tracey Morgan as Balrog?
I vote to kiss Cammy from head to toe!
What kind of toe?
Oh... that kind of toe.
Har dee har har.
If we're going black SF characters that are boxers then I say Dudley. He would beat the crap outta Balrog.
Frank West is the shiz!!
@Jonathan Holmes:
I'll keep that in mind for next time.
Looks like Ken and Morrigan are going to win.
serious shit, Dudley would make Balrog his bitch
also, morrigan es hott
also also,
Meditating and destroying you
Morrigan Aensland as first lady, erm, playable character.
i heard they really like his gigaton punch
hey i took that picture
goddamnit thats my thumb MY STUPID THUMB IS ON YOURS TUPID SITE
I must say, that is one mighty fine picture of myself. Thanks, Daph!
