AKI is better than Menat imo
I get they were trying to do another Jojo inspired character with "Egyptian fortune teller" but it just doesn't fit the series
SF2 characters all get a pass, but after that if they don't pass the "90s Action movie" test they're off-theme

>Passes the test
JP (Sneering corporate villain)
Ed (Plucky upstart boxer)
AKI (Chinese kung fu assassin)
Jamie (Comic relief drunken master + street dancer for the cool kids)
Luke (Ex-military dudebro trying to live a quiet life)
Kim (The 90s were fucking obsessed with American ninjas)
>Doesn't pass the test
Marisa (Gladiator/Spartan?)
Manon (Maybe if she was a villain but as a good guy doesn't work)
Lily (Design mess in general)
