alright I gotta do it, its gone on too long.
Yeah, this proves my point. You are complaining about Terry being a stereotype when that is one of the reasons everyone loves him.
Dude, you're taking this **** way too seriously.
Oh come now, New Jersey ain't THAT bad.
At a minimum. Not sure if that is a positive or a negative in this circumstance, but hey, it should be said.
Actually, it'd be just 4-5 months, since the DLC ends in February. Granted, the long wait was a price to pay since Hero and Banjo were revealed in the same Direct.
I can hardly wait for us to have the same argument about assumptions being presented as facts, text walls that would make china blush, and genghis khan accept it as a challenge, hopes going through an absolute rollercoaster of ups and downs. Ain't it grand?
I voted for Florida so we could go to Disney World but nooooOh come now, New Jersey ain't THAT bad.
I won't escalate this further myself. If it does escalate, let it not be because of me.Oh come now, New Jersey ain't THAT bad.
Considering two of my favorite singers (Weird Al and Voltaire) have bashed the state in their work, I don't believe you.Oh come now, New Jersey ain't THAT bad.
Isn’t Nakoruru from SamSho?
Being sincere, most SNK characters have been in KOF at least once. Now, whether it'd make sense for Terry or Nakoruru to represent that franchise instead of their roots (Fatal Fury and SamSho respectively) is open for debate.
if I may be so bold, I feel like the people sabi is in contact with know both fighters - why doesn't sabi just end this thread outright by saying Geno ain't in the game? Who does that hurt aside from our hearts?
Your name is pretty ironic at the moment.
I agree that the stereotype thing even being a problem is dumb, so let's talk about moveset.
Nakoruru IS originally from SamSho, but she has blended into KoF flawlessly unlike really any other SamSho character. When SamSho tanked and died out for a while, Nakoruru still lived on in KoF. Thus she can represent both roots and be unique and cool AND fit into some of the leaks.
Most certainly, my dood.Damn it man, not another self inflicted leak by Nintendo. It doesn’t help that I’m completely ignorant to the games so this is of no interest to me as of yet. But so far, the other 3 (especially Banjo) have been cool so I’m chill.
All these damn leaks have been like seeing a cool present under a tree on Xmas, and before you unwrap it, your sibling blurts out « it’s an N64 ». It’s still cool, but damn is it anticlimactic, especially with a direct likely on the horizon.
On a positive note, can those of you excited for and familiar with this leak educate a fellow Genobro on the games and characters?
Sabi is having to deal with legal threat from Nintendo at all times, and she’s risking her neck at all times to tell us anything at all. She doesn’t owe us anything, nor has she ever teased that Geno would be coming. People are starting to act entitled again.
I had no issue with someone calling me to discuss on my opinion, just the specific assertion that I would ever be speaking for anyone.
I'm allowed to identify Terry Bogard as a problem if I so choose to and to use that presupposition to then make an argument. Stop rallying against "identity politics" every time someone brings up certain attributes of a character they like or dislike and being surprised at the notion that all people interpret characters the same and might have more issues with certain portrayals or just want to see meaningful representation in their media.
I'm not saying he's the most offensive American stereotype out there and not acting like it either. I'm just saying I have issues with him as an option for the way I've seen embody that caricature. I know for the fact that won't affect Sakurai's decision making (none of our comments will in all honesty), but I'm still going to address it from my personal point of view. As for Ken vs. Terry, I don't know enough about Ken in any story or speaking context outside of the Ken reveal trailer to be perfectly honest, and I was speaking to more of Terry's (to me) cringe inducing lines that people seemed to be really supportive of (also, the hat and attire goes a much longer way than Ken who is less blatantly supposed to embody some sort of American ideology).
Agreed. Also I don't think he would be in the fighter pass, I think he would be a bonus characters we'd get later because that way he would be both the final character in the roster and the seventh dlc character.
If it's not geno, we'll live. The bird isn't the biggest thing going for him ATM anyway. It's his missing costume.
Look, I’m an exceedingly liberal guy, but I have no idea why you’re so upset over Terry. I kind of fail to see why the idea of depicting an American character as a buff blonde badass is an offensive thing, and his iconic Engrish stuff is just due to the voice acting limitations of the arcade era. Terry is a character made with love, not hate, and he’s not exactly depicting a minority anyway, so...?
"entitled" is getting up there next to "toxic" and "problematic" to be my least favorite, misused insult of of the 2010s. Can you for even one minute explain how, out of literally tens of thousands of characters in video game-dom, picking exactly one who it is *not* and saying "ok dawg it isn't geno let's put this miserable community in the ground" is "risking" anyone's neck? That's not a leak, it's a mercy kill. It can't implicate leakers, it can't be considered legally damaging. It's just a statement of what not to expect.
It's not even remotely that simple. You have NO idea how carefully these people have to trend in order to keep their skin. The moment they say something so much as slightly incorrectly phrased or too specific is the moment a company can sick their lawyers on em and whoever their source is.
He gave us Banjo, Ridley and K. Rool all within the same game. Not every character added can be a crowd pleaser, but the fact that he's added any of them at all shows that he isn't deaf to fan outcry.
Gets even more so when Geno would totally be in line with a hardcore Sakurai pick.
I think the most egregious point of issue is how they potrayed OCD in such an offensive light with Mike Tyson. People with OCD can be perfectly functioning members of society, but Mike's tic of having to blink his eyes rapidly is used as a weakness for Mac to exploit. Where does their disregard of afflicted peoples end?!
