Talk:Rolento

American-born German or German-born American?
There seems to be a bit of a debate on what exactly Rolento actually is. Is he an American-born German? Is he a German-born American? Well, we do know he's American at least! That's a fact.

Rolento is actually a German-born American! He was exiled to the USA in 1980. By the time Street Fighter 1/Final Fight 1 happen canon-wise (in 1987), he would have already been in the USA for 7 years! That's MORE than enough time for him to get his American citizenship. By the time Street Fighter II rolls around canon-wise (in 1993), he would have been living there for more than a decade!

This is in the Street Fighter Plot Canon Guide! Vasili did translate it. Check for yourself, it's in there!

As for not having a German accent? For one thing, Street Fighter x Tekken is non-canon. For another thing, Rolento has been living in the USA for quite a long time, so it's possible his German accent just changed/went away completely. Heck, I was kinda disappointed Rolento didn't have a German accent but what I just said could be a plausible explanation for why he doesn't have it.
