** Originally, Rufus was named "Cobra King," and was a [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/ba/Rufus-design1.jpg lean muscular black man wearing a stylish karate gi]]. He was still planned to be acrobatic fighter, but employed a fusion of breakdancing and kung-fu (breakung-fu) instead of his self-taught kung-fu. Marketing research on the preferences of American gamers had a big hand in Cobra King's design.\\
\\
Then, [=SF4=]'s art director suggested that Cobra King should be made overweight. The series of changes after that led to Cobra King becoming Rufus. According to [=SF4's=] producer, they used Rufus' current look because it would "freak people out," and because "over-the-top" characters sets Street Fighter apart from the other fighting game franchises.\\
\\
The gi would later be used as an alternate outfit for Ken.
