As a martial artist and a massive Bruce Lee fan, I think I really want to play Leroy along with Law, Kazuya, and Jin. Leroy’s Wing Chun looks amazing

[@artofaries1113]

Leroy smith is the one cool uncle that almost every black person has or just found out about. My uncle is 58 years old does Karate, kickboxing, wrestling, and is built like a heavier Bruce Lee. He also has Tourettes. I've seen him fight guys over some dumb stuff and it baffled me how quick he is plus the tourettes. So far, he has been a father figure to me. Sometimes I feel like Leeroy Smith is based off of the cool Uncles some of us black people might have in the background or at the forefront.
