I don't want them to mess with the lore of stuff. It has been an ongoing issue on Anime, Manga and Video Games, where the last couple of years, there have been a lot, and I mean A LOT of japanese media where people have injected shit that wasn't there. Is mostly a problem with translations and localizations for North America, where you see dialogue butchered, censored, changed into political stuff, or shit like characters being made an alphabet representation token, when in the original nothing of that was even present. Is a serious issue since it changes the intent of the works and 100% of the time ends ruining the product. DoctaMario, Volt, Hawkingbird and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment

Hecatom Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Just now, Hawkingbird said: If they did that to Bridget then it will show how much they don't give a fuck about his character as he had gender dysphoria forced upon him and his whole character resolves around proving himself as a man. I wouldn't call it gender dysphoria, since he always identified as a male, but was forced to behave as a woman to survive on his town where same sex twins where a bad omen and would have get him killed. Gender Dysphoria is an actual physical condition that affect the brain, and is part of many other forms of dysphoria. In his case is more a thing of upbringing and shaking away habits born from that. But yeah, if they did this with Testament, i wouldn't be surprised if they do the same for Bridget. I want to give the benefit of the doubt and think that perhaps is a they referring to Testament, both succubus and other familiars as a sole entity, which technically all of them are, the same as Dizzy, but knowing what has been happening those couple of years, who knows. But whatever is happening, the damage is done, and if is rougue localization/english team doing it without ASW knowing, taking it back will bring unnecessary problems to them with the idiots on twatter.

Suppose this means when Bridget gets brought back, the English version will have it that he’s non-binary now. I didn't know that. If she was the best choice, sure, go for it, but to get a black VA because Ram is dark skined, yet is neither Black (she is a tanned version of the other Valentines, like Elphet, Jack-O, and the Original Valentine) is truly some bullshit, not to mention racists as hell for many reasons.

Nope. It was really just for the sake of pandering. Her old VA was puffing her chest about it. Iirc, she's the same one as P4 Chie's?

It's not just gender, a lot of games had their writing flat out butchered because some asshole wanted to get flowery but forgot they ain't a writer for a reason. That always, always have one very obvious and predictable outcome. It pisses people off because now the canon is all inconsistent and people get in their feelings when the game/anime they played first/as kids don't have the right info. Just a moronic decision and you can't bet ArcSys can't check them on it now because they'll get canceled "for being transphobic". Arc did it to themselves by making Testament look more effeminate. He looks like a rock star in the XX games, thin and slightly feminine but still masculine in a certain way, but if I didn't know it was him in this new clip, I would have thought that was a woman. His gameplay looks pretty cool, but pretty different from how he used to be. It was hard enough explaining to people that Amakusa was a male and based on a 16 year old boy who hadn't quite gone through puberty when he was killed and that's why he has a high voice, not because he's a woman or trans. I'm not even touching this one. Pair of Rooks 1 Link to comment

Everything about the strive design pushes the ambiguity testament used to have and really leans heavy into feminine appearance. If it wasn't for the English trailer I genuinely would not know that this was the same testament from before Arguing about whether this is a good direction is one thing, but I can't imagine another way to interpret the intent that is dripping from the deliberate changes DoctaMario and Mattatsu 2 Link to comment

Wouldn't be surprised at all if that's the case In terms of gameplay and aesthetic strive is about reaching a wider audience so it would make sense. Things like the more washed out colors, "cinematic" super cuts ins, and pretty much every outfit change exists for more broad appeal. A little villainous if testament is a calculated move to prey on modern American sensibilities, but I don't blame them at all bc it seems to be working well Link to comment
Sonero Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Think in this one...I like the new design in the way it looks but not for Testament. Think Testament works better when its clear that its basically a beautiful man. New Testament got hips for days which is weird. Old Testament also has that heavy metal vibe to him that I like better overall. Think if NuTestament was a DNF character he'd be a 10/10 design for that game.

Daemos Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) If a character is non-binary then they could present themselves as gender neutral or to evoke masculine and feminine traits to whatever degrees they want. So if Testament is being retconned as officially non-binary. then this checks out. I do prefer the more gender neutral design from before, but this is good too. Seth is a non-binary character in SF and has no objections to presenting as either gender. I don't think he cares about pronouns as well. Edited March 20, 2022 by Daemos Link to comment
Volt Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 If it ain't localization gone rouge, then ok. A bit out of left field, but stranger things have happened in this franchise.

Sonero Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 That's what you're mad at? Great, I can continue ignoring w/e bullshit you're on and stick to the thing I'm here for: Fighting games. Fun Facts about what this dumbfuck is mad at: Adding random minority children to things has been going on for a while. Well before this current crop made it a big deal to do so. Remember the movie Hook? Robin Williams is Peter Pan and well the fucking movie is godlike and still holds up but, lets take a look at the lost boys: I mean, 10/10 boss shit. This came out in 91 and nobody batted an eye. Lost Boys in the Disney animated cartoon? White as hell. Not a big deal either way. But hey, lets take a look at Annie from 1999: Obviously here is little Orphan Annie with her generic black person. No wait, that's Audra Mcdonald and she was fucking great at her role. Absolutely brought a lot to the character of which none of it had to do with her skin color. Wait this is terrible. All these fucking minorities getting jobs. Wait, what did they do to Cinderella? Brandy as Cinderella when she was a very successful pop star? No just black. Whitney Houston as the faery god mother? No talent hack, only there because she is black. Bernadette Peters is obviously talented because she is white. Jason Alexander is jewish and played the king, he married Whoopie Goldberg who is black (also not an EGOT level talent, just black) and somehow ended up with an Asian son. But yeah sure, its now. All these minorities only got roles because they were black. Daemos 1 Link to comment

delete_me Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I've always found it a bit odd how representation is linked to ethnicity. I mean it's a part of it of course, but aren't the portrayed personality and life values more interesting? In my 25 years of playing videogames, I've only once felt more or less "attuned" to a videogame character and that was Max in Life is Strange, because she's an introverted oddball. But she's also a girl and ten years younger than me. None of the five thousand white males in videogames in my age range ever felt like they represented me even remotely.

Skort Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Who i want for Street Fighter 6 base roster so i have a main until Juri gets added ( then they can be my alts xD ) 1 - Obviously i want Juri to be base roster. Hands down my favorite character of all time. But i am going to be real here and accept the fact that she being DLC is more likely since Capcom knows she will sell like hot cakes and will most likely want to cash in on her. If she is DLC i hope she is EARLY AS FUCK DLC. Still i had to put her NR 1 though 😅 2 - Poison. I can see Poison maybe being added to the base roster since she was late-ish DLC for SFV so she deserves to be base roster this time around , not to mention she is pretty popular as well and has a cool playstyle. 3 - Laura. My 2nd alt in SFV. A sexy and fun character that i want to see returning in SF6.Would like to see her back but sadly i don't expect her to be base roster this time around as she was base in SFV. Still, bring Laura back. 4 - Gouken. I don't usually play dudes in fighting games but i played a lot of old man Gouken back in SF4. He looked cool,was fun and low parry into forbidden shoryuken super was the most satisfying thing to pull off. I want to see the old man returning. IT'S NO USE !!!! ( fans will remember ) 5 - Adon. The second male character i really enjoy playing as and overall like his playstyle and looks. He is a big asshole story wise but something about this bastard i always liked. I would like to see him back. 6 - Maki.Still mad surprised she was never added to SF5 looking at how many Final Fight characters got the spot. But maybe SF6 is her time to shine. Overall good visual design and i wouldn't mind seeing her returning. Definitely big alt material for me. Edited March 20, 2022 by Skort AriesWarlock, Shakunetsu and Phantom_Miria 2 1 Link to comment
