Edit Reason: Ángel is Mexican
)
Ángel is the latest character to be revealed for The King of Fighter XV.
So now they are spelling her name as Ángel instead of Angel? Huh, so now they are spelling her name they way its meant to be spelled in Spanish. The way the announcer pronounces her name is also spot on. These changes make sense because Ángel is Mexican.
Q: "Wait, if she's Mexican then why does she look like that?"
A: Mexican people can vary drastically in terms of physical appearence. Not just in Mexico, but also Latin America in general. 'Mexican' isn't a race. The reason why many Mexicans look the way they do (brown, ect) is because they have indigenous blood. As a matter of fact, Mexico is the country with the biggest indigenous / Native American population in the world.
While we are at it, here's a reminder that Native Americans aren't a monolith. There are many different tribes and cultures all across both North and South America.
Video comparison with KOF XIV.
Ángel is a textbook example of that one character everyone wants to learn but only 1% end up playing because she's so complicated.
