Ram is explicitly singled out as a child among all of them, Dizzy, Elphelt, Sin, etc are treated older
Jack-O is weird because she technically does and doesn't exist but I ain't here to talk about that

What do you think is the worst fighting game character design of all time?

Well alright. Agree to disagree then. G is a nonsense character, it's true, but it's his over the top ridiculousness that makes me like him, same as Abigail really. He's a street fighting Abe Lincoln! Street Fighter is a ridiculous game filled ridiculous characters. I don't see how he doesn't fit. We have a green Brazilian man-beast that electrocutes people, among other things.
Nothing SNK or Capcom did is as bad some of MK's low points. They turned the red ninja girl around in XI though.
They are "fully formed" upon conception, which has different results depending on the person. Like Elphet is, IIRC, 3 years old, fully formed, and marriage crazy. The Valentine in GG2 were fully formed, but were still child shaped, despite them being very foul mouthed. Ram is very much the quiet child weapon archetype who, after a while in the story, basically becomes an innocent, they just decided to not give her a shirt. I wouldn't be surprised if she returns in GGS in a loli maid outfit or something, something closer to GG2 Valentine.
Basically there are no rules. They just do whatever. Which makes it kind of creepier.
The only person delusional here is you if you think a character modeled, written, and acted to explicitly be childlike and then dressed/designed in an abhorrent amount of objectified tropes isn't pedophile bait.
In what reality is Ramlethal's model childlike?
I wish this topic had come up while the Steam sale was still ongoing, I was this close to pulling the trigger on the complete Xrd bundle. Then I could at least be able to see for myself what's actually going on with this character.
i still find it funny that they gave her a pair of pointless digimon goggles in MK11
Not to mention the cast of SFIII, which I'm almost certain was induced by copious acid trips.
my favorite detail about Voldo in VI is that he's wearing his shirt backwards
Would still be an improvement if they gave her antler horns tbh, it'd be extremely hard to give her anything that doesn't improve on MK9's design.
Sawada from Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, can also join Stryker among charcter designs with no actual charcter or design.
Shoutout to my boy Greg the Gorilla from Bloody Roar. Thankfully the series was kind enough to not have him return in any sequels.

I super thought Greg was G in SF5 when they first were teasing him.
never thought i'd ever hear someone call ramlethal of all characters "pedo-bait" lol. does that make dizzy pedobait too?
You got piled on for this, but I'm with you all the way. This design is and always has been pathetic.

Hey now. Tattoo Assassins is a goddamn treasure. There is NOTHING to criticize. You take that back.
Male Stripper Dante.
Capcom doesn't realize people love DMC3 not because how Dante looked. And they keep reusing that fucking design in everything.

I don't believe Dizzy at any point was depicted with a child's body proportions, and in Xrd she has a freaking husband and son. Who on Earth is making this "strong case"?
If Sin didn't have the musculature and chiseled jawline that develops after one's growth spurt, and had the dialogue of a child like dizzy did in GGX/XX, and wore the male equivalent of what Dizzy wore in GGX/XX like a Jock Strap with random sleeves/leggings then yes he too would classify under that as well.
I see, so the characteristics of someone past puberty on Sin (muscles/jawline) count but Dizzy having the characteristics of someone past puberty (breasts, hips etc) doesn't count. Got it.
Jawline/Facial structure/maturity/deepening of the voice
also extends to women as well. But good job ignoring that from my post.
So here's the thing, I have a good idea why. I get it. Its just that I can also see a character, not liking that character and I need the words so I can imagine them saying it in their voice. This is one of those times the opinion matches the icon hella hard
Okay, people say Dizzy had a very childlike personality in games before Revelator, but I don't see it. Nothing points out to her being a child inside an adult's body, even if gears don't work like that, if anything she is way more mature than the teenager characters of the series.
That thread is the reason I picked up KOF 2002UM and became the KOF fan I am today. Good times.
I think Ramlethal players are usually 90-95% of the time creepers but I don't think the character is inherently pedo bait.
If a design is able to communicate intent in an obvious fashion then doesn't that make it an objectively good design?I really really dislike Laura from SF5.
It is obvious the intent of the design.
I came in here expecting this to be the first post. I'm surprised it took so long.
How very dare you. Unacceptable. Outrageous. Sawada is the pinnacle of amazing.Sawada from Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, can also join Stryker among charcter designs with no actual charcter or design.
