There’s nothing wrong with Dee Jay. Seems your beef is he wasn’t based on a real kickboxer. Why should that matter? He’s who we got. Focus on making him better than replacing him
@Pertho
Billy Blanks being not a kickboxer make him not the best base for kickboxing rep
The do you know who Billy Blanks Is line was hilarious considering i do and only proven the above point lol
Heh, kind of reminds me of when my mother first discovered Cammy in Alpha 3. Needless to say, she had… various questions
Would’ve been badass if he had the Cervantes look instead of shitty DBZ.

Also Bruce Lee’s actual fight record is basically non-existent. He did more for pop culture than he did combat sports.
Buuuut everybody and their mothers are okay with Bruce Lee reps in fighting games.
Suck nuts, Tyson was the better fighter.

Man who cares if his associated with Billy Banks or if Billy Banks didn’t have the same appeal as usual.
The important is Deejay had became his own character. His flexible one and appreciated in the moment he had appeared.
We had this discussion before with cestus, the thing is cestus didn’t like Deejay anymore because he wanted a new kick boxer character and believes that Deejay existence is the obstacle which is wrong and a meh unlogical sense.
Imagine blaming Deejay existence, Man Capcom can add another kick boxer if they wanted too.
TBH the only shitty with Deejay in super was this move,
But in ST Deejay is good after having this.

So? “The team” is not even the same team now that it was then.
There’s nothing wrong with Dee Jay.
And Cody is based on some actor from Streets of Fire, and not a real street fighter.
Seems to do alright as a character.

He might had been Billy Banks in the drawing board but Deejay is now on his own and probably more known than Billy Banks in this generation than one of his reference in the drawing board.
He feels it was wrong because it doesn’t suite his personal taste and wanted a new kick boxer rep lol.
Alpha 3 DeeJay is best DeeJay. I get that’s he’s a simple character but playing as him+seeing others play w/ him was always so fun and comfy to watch.

And i find Rog legit 
You are spot on on Bruce Lee, but Fei Long Is essentially jkd rep in SF, a style Lee invented
If Deejay repped “taebo”, will have been legit have Blanks as was his thing
As KB rep he stay a joke and blocked the slot for actually good inspirations
The thing is cestus isn’t a real fan or a guy that grow from SF2 era which he later claims and represent himself as an introduction lately, because the earlier statements was he is someone that is from Soul Series then into SF4 but a fan of Kinu’s art.
His a fan also of real combat sports and HNK that’s why he verse in it but not really in on character design which usual contradicts his own opinions and stand because it’s about him wanted realistic fighter, but uses anime reference as an excuse to shill skinny anime Italian yoyo guy. lol
He just used the term to sound knowledgeable.
When I have even speak of animation principles regarding Udon restriction with HDR, that’s the first time he heard it and used it in an argument but doesn’t understand work technicalities.
I do side with him with Tom actually but not the rest.
He even want Sagat to play more realistic mu-thai lol and be associated with a real life mu thai but hates Deejay badly. which we had a debate with.
Man that’s not how character design and branding works especially with something like Sagat that is more played because of the gameplay not being because he does mu-thai stuff. lol
Which calls me just a guy in the internet a fraud and his the legit after losing the argument while believing his better because I don’t post photoshop stuff, but the thing is I feel it wasn’t necessary to do in the first place and words are enough to address my opinions.
His like a fake preacher that constant saying character design in the request thread but didn’t know I was verse on art direction and branding, then later character design too. Yet my training was to be a game designer someday if planning shift but didn’t went through.
Most of knowledge spoken is adapted by residing in the thread and debating with me that’s why it’s mostly echoed popular opinions that was already discussed and pointed out years ago.
He spoke of SF mostly of SF but his always easily busted regarding priorities and wish-list that reveal his real stand regardless of what he claims to be.
Also it’s not like the series can’t have more than one kickboxer. We have two boxers in Rog and Dudley, two Muy Thai guys in Sagar and Adon, more wrestlers than any one series can possibly need. Dee Jay ain’t holding shit back.

I think both Dee Jay and T. Hawk were great additions to the SSFII roster honestly. They deserve more love imho.
I miss them already.

That’s just cestus excuse for hating Deejay in-directly lol.
I never liked DeeJay because I thought his character design wasn’t very interesting outside of his big goofy smile and I had no idea who Billy Blanks is or was.
You made me reevaluate the character a bit now though.
I mean, how can you not agree with that?

Actually I don’t mind cestus continuously trying to persist and desperately trying to twist thing to suit his preferences using terminologies and sound bytes while being agreed upon and defended, because it backfires to his logic and rationale in how those things work and especially the claims. That’s were you caught people are lying and pretending especially with their mouths via their opinions and understanding.
Like Dan and Kage argument.
He brags Ken’s SFV costume because that was his claimed request but mostly Ken’s Fans didn’t even like it. Even the recent guy, I have known as a figure collector skips that costume in storm figure and even dress the SFV statue with a red karate gi. Lol Those that liked it are mostly didn’t even liked Ken and just want him to look different but doesn’t really truly like it just for the sake it’s different.
Wich was my point
I find Deejay not necessary that bad as SF char itself, i consider him bad as rep of KB world
So i will like get a new char for a good KB rep but i’ve been told we got Deejay for that (as stick to It)… a char, again that was’nt even designed with much fucks about KB lol
who told you? is that the same logic with Dudley too, ED or a new grappler.
Right, because Juri is an exemplar of TKD.

She is’nt, but i’m not asking for a better TKD rep
I don’t care much about TKD, so as soon i got TKD/korean rep i was like “good enough”
For KB i have higher standard (as i care about It) in characters i will like to see in SF to rep It, it’s simple to me
