Why does noone in the SF universe have armpit hair?

[bbq_sauce]

it makes them aerodynamic when they fight

they can take danger

Nair.

Do turtles have armpit hair

Similarly, roughly one in every twenty or so females in Japan is born with a penis.

I’m sorry sir, but where are you getting these numbers??? A claim like that requires, at the very least, a citation.

One in two females in the world are born with penises, for simplicity we call them “males”. I hear some are even members of this site.

Japanese people don’t have armpit hair. It’s similar to the way that most Native Americans don’t have facial hair… it just doesn’t grow there. Unless they’re exposed to it through e.g. Hollywood films, the average Japanese person isn’t even aware that armpit hair exists, so naturally they’re not going to depict it anime or video games.

Similarly, roughly one in every twenty or so females in Japan is born with a penis. In the modern age, due to post WWII Western cultural influence, sometimes the parents will choose to have their daughter’s penis removed at birth, but more often it’s simply left there, and it’s traditionally considered to be not only good luck, but a highly desirable physical trait in a wife. That goes a long way toward explaining some of the themes found in Japanese hentai, or the existence of a character like Poison, which may seem rather bizarre from our cultural perspective.

second paragraph is awesome

Do you really want to see the extra water splash effect in trailers stemming from the characters’ armpits?

only if its in 1080p

Next thing we know, some of you will start complaining why all the dudes’ dicks are not hanging out of their pants and petition Capcom to support 3D graphics in future games so it will feel like the players are getting cock slapped in the face.

It would fuck up a lot of win poses. Vega, Ryu and Ken all have poses where they have one arm raised above their heads, a splotch of hair matted under there would ruin the effect. Also, Ibuki’s winning ainmation after a match in the SF4 series…aaagghh imagine that.

Armpits are the scourge of every 3D modeler and animator in existence. A mix of concave and convex edges lying in between two parallel UVs means it’s a bitch to texture and weightmap. Forget about attaching static hair polys or physics objects. They’ll explode, look ugly or not work right.

That’s why you rarely see armpit hair. Aesthetics only compound on this. It’s a perfect storm of “Fuck it. You’re getting no body hair.”

Vanilla SFIV alpha had a solution to your problem.

I wondered this same question since I first saw Ken raising his fist in the air on the cover of Anniversary Collection.

Take out that image quote and post the URL. First because it’s against the rules, but mostly so that people can read the filename.

The only one that I can’t explain is Miguel from Tekken, but then he’s latino and they’re known to have a macho/hairy image, so I guess that explains it.

It’s because Miguel is a fuckin’ BOSS, swagged out to the maximum. Just look at the shit he wears when he’s fighting Heihachi in the trailer TTT2.

Honestly shouldn’t ryu look like a hobo in at least one of the games?

Ryu actually has quite a bit of money from all the street fights he wins. Not to mention he doesn’t spend money on anything other than food (does he?), and maybe a new pair of gloves every now and then. Guy is ballin.

IN THIS THREAD: VIDEO GAME ARMPIT SHAVING IMPORTANT FOR CHARACTER BALANCE!

MIGUEL THE SPANIARD LIED TO THE TEKKEN PRODUCER TO GET IN THE GAME; HE IS ACTUALLY GUATEMALAN!

TRANNIES DON’T HAVE PUBES BECAUSE ITS DIGUSTING, THEIR DICKS ARE O.K. THOUGH!

SRK We Da Best!

[Negative-Zer0]

Because it matters so much that characters have armpit hair?
