    If it didn’t matter, why change it from the orginal source? Its pretty obvious its based off the 2p color from Soul Calibur, and even uses the same name fans dubbed it, so why change it at all?

    I don’t know about others, but I’m not out to make a controversy. The fact is, that it was changed from the original to be more light skinned. If they wanted it to be this way, why not just put 2b? I would have been fine with that, because that’s what 2b looks like, but this is clearly based of the 2p skin in soul calibur which was darker in skin tone, which while I can see why it wouldn’t bother some of you, it does slightly bother me that someone made the change because someone felt that a character that was shown to be of darker skin was less appealing than that of a character of whiter skin tone, which I’ll just shake my head at and move on.

    The simplest explanation is whoever in charge of this particular render either does not know everything about the source material or simply prefers the aesthetics of a lighter skin tone. And if it really does not matter, then they can change it or stick to the source, whatever suits them.
