In theory it could be a good idea for a women's league to build a larger talent pool and establish best practices to encourage more women into the wider scene, but if they can't even get rid of the open sexual predators then sheesh.

HerniaFlange posted:Goku's JP voice always weirds me out because he sounds like an angry teenager shouting. His US voice sounds like Jaleel White's Sonic on steroids and now that I've made that comparison it's actually more disturbing than the JP voice. Not sure if you're aware but the silly thing with Goku is that he's still voiced by the same woman who voiced him back when he was like 8 years old in Dragon Ball, and she's a granny now. It could be worse; Goku and Chi-Chi's accents in Japanese are specifically meant to be rural bumpkin ones, since Goku was raised on a mountain in bumfuck nowhere and Chi-Chi as an isolated princess. A proper adaptation would have them sounding like Cletus and Brandine.

That's a neat costume, but you're kidding yourself if you think it's making Ivy less sexualised. And then there's the game where every character is completely naked! Also, Vegeta is literal royalty, he probably should have a fancy British accent.

In my experience the people getting prudish over tits in video games seem MORE likely to be sex creeps. Also given the majority of accusations are of Smash Bros players... Reminded of that KoF poll where Mai is the more popular character with women by a massive degree while all the japanese male fans apparently prefer the demure schoolgirls. I'm not sure if female Terry was counted, though. And Mortal Kombat is anime as all holy hell, it's just also GI Joe and heavy metal album covers. Also it has shirtless costumes for most of the dudes now.

The whole aesthetic down to the over the top cheesy gore is from martial arts movies, (and MK was originally gonna star Jean-Claude Van Damme, who was reworked into Johnny Cage) which anime also takes copious influence from, so it may be kinda coincidental but I wouldn't reckon there isn't plenty of crossover of MK fans and action anime fans, so it's pretty academic really. And yeah, Fatalities should be bloody anime and 80s action movie poo poo, slasher movies at worst. (see why Robocop, Terminator and Jason fit in so well) I think MK really suffered with the 00s/10s 'everything has to be serious and gritty and brown' lost decade for games, 11 seemed like a breath of fresh air stylistically as the game's allowed to be fun again. (but clearly still some edgy hangover)

Commissar Ken posted:Everyone who comes to KoF from SF goes through that transition of "But these are just guys in regular street clothes???" to "But these are just guys in regular street clothes!!!" Terry in Smash is already a big contrast from the fighting dudes with combining supernatural powers with a street brawling style and appropriate gear. Amusingly he's often seen in fanart as buddies with Ness and Red who have similar fashion sense.

Jacqui seems to be massively improved in MK11. It figures that the innovative thing is to have kids actually have good relationships with their parents. Also, Scorpion being stoked about having a family again is adorable.

Gologle posted:If I remember correctly, Sakura is an actual martial arts genius, which is why she attracted Karin's annoying attention. She learned how to do a Hadouken from seeing Ryu do it once. Gutcruncher posted:I think of him more like Mr Satan. He’s actually crazy powerful compared to most martial artists, it’s just that he hangs around the tiny micro-percent that are superhuman freaks and aliens. Thing is with Dan is that he is superhuman- he can shoot fire from his hands! When he cameos in other games he's actually pretty good. And he explicitly practices the same style as Ken, Ryu and Sakura. The problem is that mainly he's bad at martial arts. He was literally trained wrong, on purpose, as a joke, because his mentor realised he was motivated by anger and so told him his training was complete when it really, really wasn't. Which also causes his unwarranted arrogance, since he thinks he's a master on Ken and Ryu's level and doesn't understand he has a long way to go. And I think Sakura at least basically humours him because he taught her the basics and she considers him a genuine and supportive friend.

Iterative releases like Street Fighter got made sense in the arcade format but nowhere else, and probably shoulda been a warning sign that they didn't realise that until well into the HD era.

MechaX posted:But then Guile and Bison had to team up to fight Akuma when they crash landed on his evil island I can absolutely picture that, in Bison's inimitable bombastic style. PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Wasn't the movie quite literally a GI Joe movie that lost the license and retrofitted itself as SF? I do remember reading as much. Which makes things extra weird given Mortal Kombat apparently began life as a Jean-Claude Van Damme game, but he didn't like the idea of being able to lose in the game or something, so it got reworked and they turned him into Johnny Cage. (explains a lot, doesn't it?) Gutcruncher posted:I mean looking JUST at SF2 itself and ignoring promotional materials and stuff showing the mascot character Ryu, it’s natural to assume Guile and Chun Li would be the main characters. I think it might be something with how fighting games work; they don't really necessarily have or need a single set protagonist, especially since any 'story' mode would get dull pretty quick if you have to use the same character the whole time, so they can spread 'protagonist' traits and duties across various characters, and emphasise whoever the fans latch onto. Nintendo might actually be onto something about how they just said every ARMS character is the protagonist.

Lemon-Lime posted:The SF2 plot has more than one protagonist. Guile and Chun-Li are the ones with a direct, vested interest in taking down Bison for personal and professional reasons, and Ryu is both Bison's and Akuma's target. Everyone else is just sort of a hanger-on, Ken included. This also conveniently means your protagonists are American, Chinese and Japanese.

Kinda surprising you don't get more villain guest stars in games. Mortal Kombat is the big exception here, though most of those are from horror franchises where they're also effectively the protagonists. The Joker being the main exception there. Also I suppose there's Bowser (and DK) in Skylanders?

I'm pretty sure fighting games have always been on the more intensive side with sprite animation. The thing is that, on top of all the reasons listed above, the short version is that simple sprites like in an 8 or 16 bit platformer are a lot easier to make than those for a fighting game where characters are expected to look more realistically proportioned and take up much more of the screen.

Endorph posted:Honestly if they were upfront about it itd be pretty funny to see who was willing to pay to have their mascot fight ryu Probably have someone from Raid Shadow Legends. And, I dunno, Spock. Reminds me how if it's too early to make a new Mario Kart for the Switch, Nintendo could just make a new F-Zero instead. If you've got multiple franchises in the same genre, and dormant ones that fans are clamouring for that you still bring up in crossovers, you've got every excuse to bring back a franchise to do something different with it rather than wear out a tentpole that people are getting sick of. I suppose there is the thing where fans can get mad if you bring back a beloved franchise to use for experiments, like the Nuts and Bolts thing- they assume, because they're usually correct, that it basically means the franchise they love is gone because if the spin-off sells well then it's going to mean more games like the spinoff and not like the original, and if it doesn't sell than the franchise is going in the vault forever.

I feel like it'd be more interesting and creative to adjust character movesets to suit the tone of the game they're in. Smash Bros does interesting things there, though its format has more leeway. Reminded that Terry's only fully original move (and even then it's apparently similar to another KoF character's move) is his up-aerial, which Sakurai admits is because his original movesets don't have an appropriate move for that.
