Are there any female characters in fighting games that fit “The Vamp” trope?
The Vamp is described as:
“A classic character type, the beauty who uses her feminine wiles to undermine a moral and upright man, for evil purposes. She’s evil and sexy, a liar and a sneak, and uses the good guy’s sympathy against him, often with a sob story about her mother and some hospital bills or a Wounded Gazelle Gambit. Unlike the Femme Fatale and the Mad Scientist’s Beautiful Daughter, and even the Dark Feminine, she is rotten to the core, and will never be swayed from the path of darkness by love. (In eras where Make Up Is Evil applies, expect her to paint when no other woman does.)”
Right game but wrong character. The only person that could even come off like that off the top of my head is Bulleta aka Baby Bonnie Hood.
Of course there are a lot of fighting games I haven’t played but a vast majority of them have women in them that are strong and don’t need to rely on tricking others to do their fighting otherwise why would they even be in the game?
I thought the main part of the whole trope or whatever that dumb shit is called was appearing to be innocent to entrap/deceive people. That is what Bulleta does, it’s even in her playstyle. Morrigan doesn’t do anything like that despite being a succubus and she isn’t evil either. She is just a sexy bitch that was so powerful at birth that her soul had to be split into 3 parts to control her crazy power. She never relies on anyone but herself iirc and literally gets off on fighting strong opponents. But yeah you should probably just google actual fighting game storylines as that would probably be your best bet. Waaaay too many characters to find something like that which probably doens’t exist in this genre.
