What? What's the problem exactly? M Bison literally performs genocides and he's a staple of the franchise so characters who are bad people aren't exactly an issue are they?
Why does Alex need to have no character flaws? I don't get it. The dude looks like fucking Axel Rose who I associate closely with the "probably dates his cousin" look.
Bison is a villain! Characters fight to stop him! Multiple plots of entire games are centered in large part on thwarting his evil plans! The same goes for several other villains, except that I think the only one that meets Bison's scale both in terms of being in multiple games and being that evil is Gill.
A character flaw isn't just something you personally think reflects poorly on the character, it's a dynamic of the narrative that the story treats it as being a problem. Does the story treat this as a problem? Bison is more character flaw than person, and Akuma gets hyped up but still gets out-enlightened by Ryu, and many other villains just get trashed on until they are either forgotten or become less evil (like Sagat).
