I was about to post Helga from Clay Fighter too but changed my mind, but I found the thought to be funny as well.
My serious cents, though:
if it wasn’t for this “realistic/athletic look” limitation, I would nominate (among others) Suika (since Bulleta passed), Zenia (since Vanessa passed), Karulau and Angelia (she’s able to drop buildings and meteors)
realistically speaking (hope people don’t see it as nitpicking), girls (properly) using weaponry aren’t much less threatening than their male counterparts, but again, due to the limitation stated above, can’t nominate them
also, I personally am more concerned on how the “girls” (using the term as a catch-all term) play (example, not being near a grappler despite her not having the realistic looks of one), and if I’m having fun using them (example, I like to use Chun in st and alpha and 3s, but not on sfiv), rather than playing something based on how realistic (which can be considered a subset of “believable”, but not as much the entirety of it) it looks.
I don’t count weapons cause a person who can bench 100, and a person who can bench 500 will both kill you with one swipe of a katana anyways. I made the aesthetic restrictions to see how many female fighting game characters actually have a body build that looks like it could lay on the hurt. Nothing to do with mean facial expressions, storylines, bios that say this loli can bench a semi truck, or seeing the pushback on their attacks.
Wonder Woman is always the same height as Superman so that they can see eye to eye in. In the Golden age everyone was incompetent.
DC is funny because the big two, Batman and Superman, have huge fanbases 99% of which do not actually read Batman or Superman books. Batman is the biggest fail in DC each superhero has their own city Gotham is at all times the worst city. The only city that even comes close to being as bad is coast city and that’s because GL is a comparatively bad super hero.
I agree. How dare he not have Gotham all rainbows and unicorn farts. A shiny happy clean and innocent city is MUCH more fun to read about.
Remember, Superheroes are more bad ass when they have absolutely nothing to do.
No. She has zero muscle and is a little cutie. She doesn’t “look” like a fighter by any stretch of the imagination. IRL once you got her weapons away from her she would be defenseless. Then sex would happen. Alot of sex would happen.
Makoto definitely. 9 foot tall German monster. Cmere bitch, your neck looks ripe for squeezing. Forward throw? Fuck you bitch imma smash you with my goddamn face.
Makoto gives zero fucks. She don’t need fireballs or teleports or claws or kunais or stretchy limbs or any of your other mystical ninja bullshit. She just gets hella pissed off and punches you in the dick because you’re a fucking asshole and you deserve it.
