Rashid‘s reveal was not meant to make light of 9/11

So, an Arabic Street Fighter was revealed today, and of course, people are up in arms about it because today is 9/11, a day where everyone is apparently supposed to pretend Arabs don’t exist.

Now, let me address these Americocentric reactions to the character: To us in the US, this day is the anniversary of a national tragedy. But to the rest of the world, it’s Friday. Capcom is a Japanese company who probably couldn’t care less what this date means to the US.

There is a reason they picked today, though. Today is the day of Game15, a highly-anticipated gaming expo in the United Arab Emirates. That is the reason why Rashid was revealed on this day. Not to rustle Americans’ jimmies (if that were the case, why would he be fighting Ryu in the reveal trailer as opposed to Guile, the character who represents the American dream?), but to hype up the Arabic audience. This trailer was meant, first and foremost, for them.

tl;dr: The date is 100% coincidental, and the Arab character was revealed primarily for the Arab audience.

The Vancouver Canucks' power play was extra special Sunday night. Henrik Sedin had a goal and three assists and Vancouver converted five of six power plays to lift the Canucks to a 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. David Booth, Aaron Rome, Daniel Sedin and Dan Hamhuis each added power-play goals and Jannik Hansen had Vancouver's only even-strength score as the Canucks (7-7-1) handed the Blackhawks their first regulation home loss. Michael Frolik and Marcus Kruger scored for Chicago (8-3-3), which went 0-for-5 on the power play and has scored just once in its last 26 chances. The Canucks have been inconsistent this season after advancing to the Stanley Cup finals last spring. But on Sunday, perfect penalty killing and a near-perfect power play powered them past arch-rival Chicago. "We haven't been good enough 5-on-5 to win games," said Henrik Sedin, whose four points matched a personal high in a game. "But if we play good 5-on-5, our special teams will take care of us most games. It did tonight." Even without man advantages, the Canucks took charge early. "I feel we got off to a real strong start," Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. "The guys were focused, executed well. I thought we played a real strong first period. "In the second (Chicago) took some penalties we made them pay for. That was the game." Vancouver's Roberto Luongo made 38 saves to help the Canucks end a two-game slide. Chicago's Corey Crawford blocked 32 shots. [SOURCE: SportsNet]
