I hope we can. That means we’ll actually have damage mid-screen.
Desk had already mentioned in his transcript that the combo was a bad management of meter, its just stylish. but after watching the trials i’ve already known the :lp: version of Aeolus Edge can be comboed from, so you mite not need to burn the EX until you get to the WoL.
edit: fixed some errors…
I do, but I play SF on the 360.
Not to jump into this argument, but Capcom already stated that Poison was trans, and she was so for 20+ years. It was then when she was going to be an actual playable character in a game released in the West that they caved and went with the wishy-washy statement that they’re now going with. It’s very frustrating that they won’t just stand their ground, because Poison’s being trans is very important to the LGBT community (which has so little representation in gaming).
Anyhow, glad you guys are liking my Poison joystick mod! I used it for the first time yesterday for sitting down to finally crack open SFxT. (I have it early via work for reviewing.)
Heya Shidoshi!
It’s me, Poison_SFxTK from Twitter. Sweet stick mod by the way.
Aww, well i guess most people do play on 360 because of the stable online connection.
Whats good humpski, we gotta get on vega mirrors when SFxT drops.
Lol i see some vanilla SF4 Vega heads here =P
I’m down for the day 1 endless sesh. PSN in sig.
Thats cool, so you and Zujira are going to be online day 1, hopefully we can all get in some good matches.
Well, this is a pleasant surprise! While the stick is nice, I admit I was a fan of your article since I first read it months ago. It was one of the best (and civil) discussions I’ve seen on the subject yet, and I enjoyed it very much.
I also get where the frustration is coming from regarding the gender issue. However, I still believe that Capcom (a company who doesn’t have the best track record in regards to cultural sensitivity) teaming up with GLAAD to get her right is a huge enough step on it’s own. It may not be as much progress as we like, but it’s still progress, and that’s got to count for something. For what it’s worth, I’m enjoying the attention Capcom’s current stance is bringing to other aspects of Poison’s identity and personality outside of the gender issue (her past with Mad Gear, her current occupation in Fight Promotion / Professional Wrestling, her relationships with Hugo and Cody, etc).
Here’s a little thought just had in the same vein: Have we ever seen Poison speak to Rolento yet? What’s her win quote against him?
“Oh. your still around. Still playing solider in the mountains?” with disappointed face
Edit: http://fenixware.net/fab/fab_charQuote.asp?id=985&order=0
the link has more win quotes
i also though that this was a good video put together in discussing her gender since i feel that we are all mature enough to talk about it.[media=youtube]3Lj-9npanOI[/media]
show me a dude irl who has hips like that
^
real talk
I have a friend that I’ve known for nearly 13 years and she started taking testosterone blockers and estrogen in high school, once those babies kick in it’s almost like a second puberty. So yeah, there’s a lot more to being trans than just having a sex change; the the chemical make up of the body is altered via hormones to change physical things like fat distribution, to create curves in the hip, thighs and breast area; and things like the loss of body hair and more feminine posture. There are also changes in the individual’s mindset which effects their temperaments and even things such as their perception of things to better suit the desired gender one’s transitioning to. Not to mention the various cosmetic surgeries there are to enhance certain feminine features even more.
I know most people are so ignorant because they’re simply unfamiliar about the subject, and we all don’t want to drag this topic out, but at least think before you say crap like “dude’s don’t have hips like that”, being trans doesn’t classify her as a man. She’s a woman, just a trans-woman; it’s entirely possible for her to look the way she does.
Without meaning to be crude, I think trans-women would be a lot more popular and accepted if they all had bodies like Poison
You’re probably right.
you get me that cocktail that makes people look like poison and we can take over the world with the money we get…
…SELLING IT TO GIRLS.
anyways, i think it would be best if we got back to talking about gameplay, ya know…
if every character has a move on counter hit that crumples…then what is Poison’s?
Great find, Rook! It also looks like she’s got some great win quotes too. I almost hope I beat a lot of Cammys just to call people marks.
@rook: I believe I saw her far St.HP crumple at some point but that might’ve just been someone else.
