God if they let a potential Garou 2 Blue Mary be a cool middle-aged woman she could stand to have one of the greatest fighting game designs of all time.

I dunno, Terry has a different look, but physically he looks the same as usual to me. I wouldn't expect Mary to be any different.

It'd be cool if she did, but at best I'd expect her to be like Chun in SF6

Put some bags under her eyes and give her a cool jacket. You don't have to do much.

Mary already has a cool jacket, she just takes it off when she's fighting in most/all games that she's in.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh. She's in her 20s in the original Tsukhime and so she's probably that for every Melty Blood except Type Lumina where she still looks like a college student. (e: And that's assuming remake Tsukihime doesn't also move up her original birthday)

Anyways just because some women in real life don't "look" like they're in their 50s or 70s or whatever doesn't mean that it doesn't suck that dudes in video games get to look really old as gently caress but nearly every older woman doesn't.

like other than genkai in the old YYH fighting I'm drawing a blank. Matrimelee has a fight grandma I think?

i mean a bunch of older dudes in games dont look that old either. like i agree more grandmas would be cool but at the same time its kind of weird when people act like the instant you turn 35 you start looking like the cast of the golden girls. like thats also kind of sexist imo, it kinda wigs me out. i think you can communicate the first thing without the second thing

but it's actually true, the moment you hit 35 you instantly turn grey and decrepit and you smell like a retirement home and your spine is pulverized to dust and you lose 1 ft 3 in off of billed height as well as all your hopes and dreams.

Yeah people can be indelicate and go overboard but I do think if a series is going to have its dudes visibly age then the ladies should also be permitted to visibly age just a bit. e: Like Chun-Li's theme is "Not A Little Girl" in SF6 but she's the only world warrior that doesn't really look like she got older. They somehow found a way to make Dhalsim look older even.

as for whether that should apply to garou or kof i dunno it's a poo poo franchise for perverts give me Valkenhayn's wife in the next blazblue that will definitely happen

Age is basically an aesthetic thing for fictional characters anyway, but people want to main fighting game characters with a specific aesthetic all the time.

I think much like with Terry any returning Fatal Fury ladies will look older but perhaps not as old as you'd expect considering the time skip.

No, but you do look different than you did before. it's not that there shouldn't be characters that age well or who don't update their design a ton, but compared to men there's very few fighting game women that even look 30, let alone older. One of the great joys of life, imo, is getting old. I'm excited for it myself and it'd be nice to be able to play women in their 40s, or hell, yeah, even a cool grandma! there's tons of old men in fighting games but I can't think of any old women off the top of my head.

like she doesnt even look like, especially young in sf6 to me. like shes very good looking and is obviously meant to and is obviously, an Anime character, but she doesnt look 'like a college student' or w/e. thats why i feel so out of sorts in these convos people are like 'can you believe this character doesnt look old... how dare they not let women age' and then i look at the design and she looks like shes in her 40s. am i the weird one here im genuinely confused.

I mean... all that it looks like that happened between SF5 and SF6 is her eyes got smaller and her eyebrows got fuller? Which feels more like an art style change than anything.


Some of it's art style but Ryu meanwhile has a fuller face with more distinct creases from like, furrowing his brow at the satsui no hadou or smiling over victory

she's clearly aged dude. just admit she's in her mid-40's and still looks great. hell, i'll say she's in her early 50's

age based shirt colors......


Definitely spending a lot of time critiquing the physical appearance of ladies feels weird but it is also something that could and should be explored in character design. For example, would anyone in their 30s still be a rushdown character or are they too old for that poo poo? Are your 40s the ideal age to develop a command grab? Are characters that randomly change stances hot flash coded?

Need to see the official art Garou era Bogard family christmas With Mary and Terry and their son Rock and Andy and Mai and their entire sentai team of kids (including Hokutomaru) and Uncle Joe and Lilly Kane there.

Like all the old party/dinner art the use to do. Tizoc's dressed up as santa and Billy Kane's an elf with a green and red striped bandana.

Garou was already a time skip! We don't need one when there's more than enough immediate plot hooks still left from it left open.
