Technically speaking, it was Yabuki who picked. Nintendo didn't care which ARMS character it was, so they passed the ball to Sakurai who passed ball to Yabuki. But yeah, Min Min is a solid pick on her own (great design, overall popular, Smash's first Chinese character). The problem is that, as you said, Twintelle was our best shot at a black character in Smash.
Yeah, I really hope so too. Hopefully they realise it's a real strength of the appeal, especially when (hopefully) both games are trying to tell continent-spanning war stories with an interesting cast rather than sell figurines. I particularly like Geela Briesse.
I went down the Azure Striker hole and found this for the spin-off "Luminous Avenger iX". Like, the fuck.
Wat. I don't play Smash, but if I did, I'd rather have Sephiroth over any of those, especially Tifa.
Her portrayal in FFVIIR and the Comp in general is garbage, so chances are you wouldn't be wrong (and I say this as the world's biggest Tifa stan).
That being said, I'd love to be able to play her in a fighting game. Not Smash though, since I don't play that.
My fiance walking into the room while I was playing as Tifa: "Why are you playing as a hooker?"
There are definitely people who real life who subscribed to the "everything I learned about human interaction, I learned from anime and video games" newsletter...
Tifa while slightly more improved (and when I say slightly I mean the sport bra additions which is a very small change) still didn't feel like an improvement. Her overly anime animations (which to be fair, most characters do but the women are for some reason extra anime) and her "waifu" vibes is still the same as it was in the original. I wish they went the extra mile and actually improved. The original game I can overlook as it is old but the remake is a new game and they could have improved her further.
I mean it's hate of the designs and misogyny specifically. Which seems fair.
Blaster Maser Zero (1) is a good game but JFC that promo art. I know the second game cranked up the pandering and it looks like the third will dive even deeper. I love Inti Creates's games from a design perspective but the way they have been pandering harder and harder to otaku is frustrating. Then again, they've always been this way since their partnership with Capcom ended. Gal Gun is the moment when they started down this path.Was just scrolling through Nintendo news this morning and was met with this image and actually laughed out loud:
Seems to be for a series called Blaster Master Zero. But wow, not sure how much more you could make this look like the female character is literally in a sex position and looking back at you, the viewer of the image. :|
Does Joker count? Since the Switch Persona game didn't come out until quite a while after his inclusion. I could be missing something though as I've not played much in the Persona franchise, but I feel like I remember seeing people use him as an example for just about anything being fair game now.
I think I would have liked Remake Jessie a lot more if she wasn't turned into obvious fodder for the waifubait wars as compared to how she was in the OG. There wasn't a lot there originally, but they could have leaned into her love of tech and her role as the resident expert, but no.
Yuuuuuuup
Wat. She 100% is. She is saccharine to the point of being insipid. I hate her lol
She definitely is. Not as bad as before, but I just think the bar is in hell after how the Comp mangled her. I love Aerith, yet chapter 8 made me want to bang my head against a wall.
Got something you wanna say or is 1 word name-calling accepted on this forum?
Your statements seem somewhat dismissive of the problems people have with XB2, if I'm interpreting right. This isn't the thread to come in and say "people have a hate boner of the game".
I have issues too, that I've posted already here. So I can't wait for the thread. Haha
I'm guessing some people are just too attached to things they like/love and would hope to defend it for the sake of it even if others have problems with it for some reason.
Yeah I agree, Remake was my first time playing FF7 and I liked both Aerith and Jesse a lot. Tifa was kind of embarrassing though.
Think I am stealing this fucking gif for my thread lmao. Haaaaaate thisI have issues too, that I've posted already here. So I can't wait for the thread. Haha

Haha. There's worse like this:
At least she was cheering Cloud on during the show in that one. haha
Says the person who used 1 "w/e" when people point out your crap. You're the one who came in a thread meant mostly for women, dismissing their criticism of how women are treated in games in a thread meant to be a place for mostly women to vent about such things with "people hating on XB2 for no reason over here" BS and then you act all dismissive when people point out some of the legitimate issues that people have with XB2 with that "whatever" of yours.
