Elena (Street Fighter)
- ... that the character Elena was given a Capoeira fighting style, but since the team had no experience with Capoeira they resorted to using travel movies to find information?

- ALT1: ... that an IGN review praised Street Fighter Elena as being the "first playable Black woman in the series, and, at the time, one of the only Black women in video games at all"? Source: https://www.ign.com/articles/5-awesome-black-video-game-characters

Improved to Good Article status by Kung Fu Man (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 02:45, 1 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Elena (Street Fighter); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article was nominated within seven days of passing GAR. Article is long enough and within policy for neutrality and citations. Earwigs only ping some long proper titles and properly attributed quotes. QPQ has been completed. I think ALT0 is the more interesting option, but 1) the source seems to be saying that the team watched travel videos rather than films, e.g. videos that were uploaded to Youtube rather than feature films, and 2) it needs additional context to explain who Elena is. I would suggest something like:
- ALT0a: ... that Elena from the Street Fighter video game series uses a capoeira fighting style, but as the development team had no experience with the style, they used travel videos as reference material?
