Like I said in the title, happy International Women's Day! Full disclosure, I wish I could do a full-ass thread like I did for Black History Month. But given how much of a herculean task that thread was, I'd need to plan ahead for such a thread next year. With that said, I wanted to do something this year, so I decided to do an open thread for bringing up some awesome women in gaming. Who knows, maybe I'll refer back to this thread next year. Of course, we can also bring up pros & cons regarding gaming's handling of women in games in here as well. With that said, I'll start...
Twintelle & Chun-Li are probably two of my favorite women in fighting games right now. Granted, Chun-Li is kinda held back by the whole Interpol thing, but she's also such a long-standing character. Hell, Chun-Li is the literal First Lady of Fighting Games. As for Twintelle, she's probably the shining example of black women for Nintendo games & possibly fighting games in general so far. Hell, you all voted for her as this site's top black character from a fighting game. You can check that thread for my write-up on Twintelle, but I'll save my Chun-Li write-up for another time. So what about you all, what other women in games do you want to bring up? Though just a heads-up, please keep the thread focused on women who originated from a video game.
