Interesting read, so it seems that every character has it’s own artist and they are constantly changing it…hmmm I wonder if they are gonna slim down Lili face cuz it looks knda chubby. As for Poison hope she get her bangs
i was hoping that discussions about Poison’s Gender wouldn’t be in this thread…(as unity had to make a entire thread devoted to just that) it kinda detours the discussion ~ sorry if im being a bit blunt about it…but i would rather talk about gameplay or strategy for this character here, and have the former for General Discussion.
but i do hope she gets her bangs back…but Genistar has been very reliable with info so i dont think it will change~
As over the top as this may sound, the inclusion of Poison was a major reason for my interest in this game for three reasons.
- I grew up on Final Fight, and I was well aware of the legend of Poison. I thought that if they ever took the character seriously, they would have the opportunity to do something great with it. It’s really good to see they have been doing so with the inclusion of GLAAD, and are finally developing her into a fully fleshed out character. After the RE5 controversy, I found myself pleasantly surprised.
- I’ve been a fan of pro-wrestling since I was a kid, and Poison’s transition into the art makes too much sense. I can easily see coming into her own, managing Hugo in a similar vein as names like Sunny, Lita, and Sherri Martel. Now if only Marduk or King are decent so I can use a grappler that doesn’t rely on 720 motions…
- Poison is teh sex.
Poison is everything that this game needs to be: Daring, Different, and Wildly fun. Adding back the bangs would just be icing on the cake.
I don’t care about bangs. I’m a man as long as she’s hot Id do it with or without bangs.
I personally like the way she looks now so an Alt with bangs would please everyone yes?
I would also like this thread to stay on her gameplay. Poison will be the first character I use with rekkas in years and I was not very good at working them into my style of play easily. Does anybody here have more experience with her know just HOW best work her rekka into play?
I just threw them out as a poke like Fei longs but it didn’t feel right. Is her rekka’s combo starters? Pokes that chain? Or do they work more like Abel’s as best used to end combos
i swear i know i posted it somewhere…
anyways…Poison’s WoL Groundbounces…so you use it how you will…
Poison has decent normals…already discussed this…not going over it again…
if you need more info PM me and i will give you the best answer i can offer…
Nah you good Rook I mainly needed something to steer this thread away from penis talk lol.
I know what Poison can do just with BGS being here and some Brazilians being on SRK I took a shot in the dark trying to hear everyone’s opinions on how best they think to use her Rekka’s.\
You get a bonus point for trying tho lol
its good to see someone else who shares the same feeling.
King is…uhhg weird…i’ll go over him if you want to PM me…Marduk is pretty good…Gator slam is pretty nice.
Jamp has been pretty good at updating the page and i’ve always made most for Poison on Unity so if you feel like there isnt enough here go to unity…also i did a small write up of her on my blogspot if you still need info…like i told R4U PM me~ its just easier for me…
lolz well like i said…WoL ground bounces…that means you can combo afterwards…with what? well thats limited to Cr.Mk to her DP, Fireball, or another WoL because i think her crescent kick is too slow and the height mite be a factor.
Edit: im sure you can link other lower hitting normals with her after the ground bounce but i think Cr.MK is the best bet~
Same here. Though I’m partial to her being a transgender - being “just a girl” is pretty boring, IMO.
That interviewer also shares the same thought as me:
~
Also, there was almost no footage of her whatsover from BGS.
What? Seems like I missed that. Does it work like Kazuya’s bounce, any known follow ups?
Well, after the WoL groundbounce thing I’m not so sure anymore. I’ll dig up this thread later and see if I missed anything else.
apparently when i went back to watch a few old match vids they did…and even during her reveal trailer they did…it was something i didnt catch until Genistar mentioned it to me actually i thought it was a hard knockdown but its a bounce…and i used her at PAX…go figure…
Well the idiocy in logic regarding *her *gender is retarded we took an obscure character and made it a controversy. Way back in the dawn of time that was the eighties early nineties they (capcom) didn’t want to depict a woman getting beat up outside of Japan. (still acceptible?) So it was decided to change such character to a tranny akin to Streets of Rage haveing thier gay boss/ playable character Ash (who was unacceptable outside of Japan) who was Gay. Its funny that people let fetishes and fan fics run’em. It’s a chick deal with it. That being said I think all of the win/quotes in SXT are a homage to the confusion that the character has created over the years and THAT is funny. We dont need politics or GLAAD involved fuck’em thier irrelevant what needs to be concered with is if the character is going to be a viable source of beatdowns or is it going to be scrub nonsense that everyone will foregt other than the fan ficker’s
That being said If she does not pair up well with Hugo then what looks to be a promising compliment? perhaps one of the other wrestlers? Opinions do we have them?
i don’t really like talking about her Gender but all i can say you can choose either or she can be both if you want. Its just someones opinion though. But i’d rather talk about other things like how she plays rather than an uncomfortable thing like this.
I have to say, I did laugh at ‘Streets of Rage haveing their gay boss/playable character Ash who was gay’, because saying he was gay once just wasn’t enough.
GLAADs made Capcom back down twice on Poison so far*, they might as well be the final boss for this game lol.
-
- Firstly when Capcom obviously wanted to make Poison an official female, I mean c’mon Seth said “Ono will bring cosplayers of the winning gender to the launch party, so do the right thing”. Secondly when Capcom had snarky comments about Poison said by Ryu, Chun Li and Cammy. I wonder if whoever wrote those comments pointed out the irony that Poison is a much better designed female 3D model than Chun Li and Cammy… seriously Capcom need to touch up the vanilla female crew… really lacking compared to the more recent additions like Poison and Lili not to mention Juri.
I feel like Sak is the only one they got right… Viper had that uniboob and Rose that jay leno chin and hair that doesn’t move… Chun Li looks mannish at times and Cammy has one seriously flat ass.
I dont/never did understand all the arguing about Poison’s gender. This is the way I see it; she’s hot and if I (as well as most guys) saw her, I would smash with no regrets whatsoever as long as she has all feminine parts.
Maybe I should have wrote flamboyant, but the stress on Ash was there was no allusion or ambiguity. Dude looked like village people with assless chaps and green knee highs if I remember right and when he died I think he had the generic female death scream which always made me laugh. (it’s been awhile but I think with code input he might have been playable too.)* **MAIN ***point though is poison is overhyped for wrong reasons hopefully she will be viable and not just doujin service although come different cons Im sure will have plenty of that. It’s akin to putting in Red Arremer and Rocket Racoon, seen little play on one and none on the other in UMVC3. Hope either are good especially because I like the former and despise the latter (Could have sworn RR (thank God) was dead but maybe it wasn’t cannon) At anyrate SFXT make poison useful. Move set, assist ect.
soo…this thread is going to be locked because her Gender was mentioned again…got it…just like unity…because it is enviable.
in hopes that this thread to normal…any word on changes to poison at BGS?
Don’t like Viper? actually I think she is the best female design they ever made (alongside with Poison, Juri and me, of course) I love her space-y outfit!
About Poison comments on the game quotes… At first I thought they were nasty and out of place, but now I think they’re funny. They are just playing with the ambiguity the character has had ever since she appeared for the first time!
Like I said it earlier, the small footage of BGS focused only on Ryu/Sagat/Raven (and still, doesn’t showed anything new). Chances are that NYCC will bring a newer build with significant changes overall.
