d3v. Really? What didn’t they like about it?
Same things they don’t like about SFIV’s art style. Too many muscles and man hands.
I pretty much hate every character design of every anime fighter ever. None of those waifs look like they could actually fight.
Not even She-Hulk?
I mean, as Yipes himself as stated “Marvel is anime as fuck”.
I like the SF girls with muscle. Gives them that look of “I will fuck you up…and my looks are one more thing that proves that.”
SF4’s art style…it’s ok…I don’t mind it. Though the males have retarded exaggerated muscles though… the females…they actually look about right. Maybe slightly more muscular. And I guess the hands and feet…that’s a whatever for me.
Though there is one thing I never understood in the SF universe and possibly others too. Is their weight…I’m still too this day baffled that rufus weights more then gief and almost as much as hugo…Ryu weighs 156ish lbs…the girls…they practically all weigh 100lbs…like the chicks should all weigh at LEAST 130lbs-150lbs. With muscles likes that on a chick? Yeah you’re racking up at least 130. Ryu should weigh at least 200ish and gief should be weighing in over 300-400. Hugo should basically be 500-600.
That’s one thing (among many) capcom cannot do right…I know it’s fantasy and all but come on…
/rant.
Well She-Hulk is primarily an American Comic Book character so I don’t think he’s refering to any Marvel characters in the vs series. I think when Yipes says “Marvel is anime as fuck” he means UMVC3, not Marvel comics as a whole. And I agree with mowr. The vast majority of female characters in modern anime styled fighters don’t look physically built for battle. They’re strong just cuz.
Well what they expect a female fighter to look like? In order to do effective damage one must have some muscle mass. It’s not like classic Felicia or the SF4 ladies are jacked on roids. They just have some muscle like any fighter should.
FengShui. I thought I was the only one bothered by the weight and sizes of the SF characters. When I saw Ryu in Anime’s like the movie with C.Viper I though he was a big dude like 6’2 200lbs. I look up the Wiki and come to find out he’s 5’8 and like you said 150ish lbs. Bullshit! And yeah all the females weighing no more than 120lbs is also bullshit. The only exception to this is R.Mika who is 137lbs. I guess with her being a wrestler they gave her some pounds. But that’s not heavy enough to be body slamming grown men. I’m a 160lb man and I wouldn’t dare attempt to try and pick up and slam a dude in a fight.
Because he’s retarded.
And did i catch people telling people to PICK Jedah?? in VSAV?!? I also reccomend cammy in ST and King in CvS2. Hell, lets go further, play tager in CT and Bullet in CP. How about we pick a team of servbot/roll/dan in MvC2?

No doubt Talbain is the most hated of the darkstalkers cast. I think people who never played Darkstalkers or very casual players are drawn to his design however. When Darkstalkers Night Warriors came to arcades (subsequently I never found Hunter or Savior, probably cause Night Warriors didn’t do well enough), Talbain was probably the most picked character along with Demitri. d3v makes a great point though, I guess his design would have been somewhat redundant due to Ruby Heart.

I never told people to pick Jedah. Just said when GGPO first got Vampire Savior, a ton of people were on it. For a few weeks it was almost like kof 98 I mean countless people trying it out. 95% picking Jedah. I mean it was shocking how initially seemingly everyone was drawn to him. He may actually be the darkstalker with the most draw potential.
Correction, the most unimaginative fucking boring people are drawn to Talbain’s design. Men of courage, dignity, honour and refined tastes pick Anakaris, Demitri, Raptor or Bishamon.
mowr. Aw c’mon. Sure he’s a lil… too easy to use for what he’s capable off. But you really don’t think a Kung-fu, nunchuck weilding werewolf isn’t cool?
Maybe to a 4 year old
You forgot Donovan.
Donovan is cool, but he strikes me as kind of over designed. His game sprite is way too busy.
People are drawn to Donovan because he has a dive kick… that is, until they realize that it isn’t an SFIV dive kick.
During the location tests those dive kicks didn’t bounce off on block. One of the many nerfs he got before DS2 was officially released.
Well, if MvC Hsien is any indication, Hunter characters always eat huge nerfs in beta.
The half of the roster below Ike invalidates itself by being bad. The rest of the top tier is just or almost as oppressive to them as MK is. It’s not like they suddenly stand a much better chance against the likes of Snake, Olimar or ICs.
He’s strong, no doubt. But he’s just a tad better than the rest of the top tiers instead of some invincible broken demon.
…until you start to turtle, anyway. Played normally, he might just be Top Tier+ but those runaway abilities are ludicrous.
My VSav-playing life is dedicated to IAD chainsaws and rib-stab antiairs.
As far as shitty, hate-worthy characters go, El Fuerte free. That POS shouldn’t exist and I’m glad I don’t have to play against him anymore. Testament spamming the screen full of crap is bliss compared to playing against Fuerte.
F*kkin Voldo.
It’s been years since I actually played Soul Calibur, but those animations and dick-spikes still haunt my nightmares
Blank, Honda, Cammy, Guile, Decapre, Vega, and some other can be really annoying/hard to beat because of my character choices.
