that's just japanese voices. elphelt (i don't know about jam) sounds great in english.

people are gonna hate english jam because they'll realize that she's been speaking in a hella stereotypical "chinese" accent the whole time, just in a language they didn't understand

her translated win quotes in the revelator demo mean they aren't gonna hide it anymore like they did for the old games

I-No's english "poo poo!" when she whiffs her command grab is pretty great. I-no is a good example of what I'm talking about, she could just be a cool guitar witch but of course they had to give her 1000 belts and a garment that can't really be called a top just so old men can get a bone on to a video game.

i-nos design is really good though

musicians aren't noted for their conservative dress

- i-no takes her design pretty heavily from the early works of real person shiina ringo

- many ladies like to play as sexy ladies as well for the same reason dudes like goku in dbz because he's hella swole, don't act like being a weirdo puritan is normal

- i-no is a character that owns up to being a sex object, all of her dialogue is either an innuendo or swearing at someone. while again characters like chun li and cammy or half the roster of mortal kombat wear non-practical clothes that give old men boners while pretending to be Very Serious Characters

lol i-nos design is like super consistent with her character who is actually cool and powerful and confident as opposed to say cammy who this guy is totally cool with in a game where you can practically smell the cumstains from her concept art

If you had a girlfriend who asked you what your hobbies are, would you not be ashamed to show her guilty gear? If not then hopefully she'll be smart enough to get the hell out of there. And do I even need to bring up the May pirates? I totally forgot about them, yeah gently caress GG and anime games forever, im just sick of it. (cept DBZ, we all know DBZ kicks rear end).

And so you see why trying to have a discussion about sexism in fighting games is a lost battle from the get-go. It's all trash and people will defend their trash tooth and nail.

I agree a bit with you there, which is why I'm ok with characters like Poison who are trying to be sexy, but isn't I-no some sort of immortal demon thing? And maybe that's one of the reasons I just don't feel like playing SFV anymore, Cammy is my favorite character gameplay-wise, but no amount of mental gymnastics I can do will convince me that her outfit makes any sense whatsoever.

if your girlfriend objects to you liking a thing with sexy ladies in it you're either a little bitch, dating a jealous psychotic or actually dating a man im sorry to say

I think being a sex-hating puritan is the new normal with kids these days

Wasn't talking about gender politics in video games banned on the games forum because its such a toxic, stupid subject or has it just gotten so prevalent that they gave up trying to stop that?

Aren't they all like 14 or something and not real 14, anime 14 with giant tits and stuff. Smells like pretty standard japanese pedo-bait crap. I'm a child rape victim, so I'm pretty sensitive to these things. Imagine how pissed I got when I found out about that fire emblem dragon girl.

I'm very sorry to hear that, but I think you'll find that all the may pirates that are sexualized are the ones that are clearly adults


johnny, the boss, isn't a pedo, he's anime robbin hood using his adopted family of orphans ala peter pan, any weird pedo overtones you find in this rest entirely on you. Although I thought this was about character design, not stupid story stuff that doesn't matter?

Seeing as Rev is 2 weeks out, just do that. Xrd is still like 30 to 40 depending on where yoi get it.

revelator comes out soon but the core gameplay is a direct transfer outside of like one new system mechanic and xrd has a really good tutorial mode, so you could get over that "oh god what do I do???" phase by the time the game actually comes out so you don't get completely ruined day 1

It's completely ridiculous looking top to bottom so it's hard to care. SFV is weirder to me because they look somewhat like plastic molds of real people so Laura and R Mika's insane proportions are jarring and mildly off putting.
