In this game, I believe that there should be a certain degree of diversity in the muscle types of characters. For instance, dancers do not require well - developed muscles because large muscles would make their movements appear rather clumsy. Character designs should be in line with their personalities and habits. Therefore, it is not necessary for every character to have large muscles only. (`3´)

I find it highly funny that someone who is advocating for diversity immediately follows it with the stereotype that body builders or anyone with large muscles are clumsy. Wow.
Search youtube for the channel MovementbyDavid and watch any of the shorts or #stayflexy or "body builder flexibility" - you'll find 1000's of videos of them dancing well, doing the splits, backflips, etc.
I understand where you're coming from, I do. I just have to once more point out your words.
"Just because they look clumsy"
Again the idea that "large beefy dudes" are clumsy, not flexible, or the like. While maybe not your intention you've again said something that indicates you may be also subconsciously discriminating as well.
To some large muscles might indicate such, to others it does not. Any of the male gymnasts during the Olympics prove against that stereotype. They perform some incredible feats of graceful movements in their routines while still having large muscles on top of their form.
Ultimately Mr.Ryu's aesthetic in all his games tend to have the same build of men as fyi.
