I absolutely hate 95% of all SF characters introduced after Super SF2, about 70% of which consist of Ryo clones or little girls for weeabos to fap to.
Unique? He's André the Giant, and from what I can recall from last playing one of the Alpha games, he's a pretty sterotypical Slow Rassler type fighter.I absolutely hate 95% of all SF characters introduced after Super SF2, about 70% of which consist of Ryo clones or little girls for weeabos to fap to.
Kinda weird to bring this up in a Hugo thread, 'cause he is at least unique.
I like to hate post SSF2T characters because of divekicks myself
Couldn't they have added Hugo and Poison as DLC characters for SSFIV:AE? Fuck now its another game that i gotta buy
Everyone bitches about the Capcom big version re-releases but I'd rather have that instead of DLC characters. It's much, much easier for live play/tournaments for one thing because every setup has all the characters right out of the box. It also helps keep the big balancefucker patches infrequent and comprehensive instead of constant and piecemeal - shit constantly changing in fighting games where so much of it is about muscle memory is awful. With DLC I know I'd also end up chiseling and not buying characters I don't want to play myself and then not have them to do shit like mess with punishes for their stuff in training mode.
And he is teamed up with a pink haired tranny.
Jeez. Very Codexian.
Originally conceived as a female thug in Final Fight and part of the game's antagonist group, Mad Gear, concerns during the game's development about reactions from North American audiences to fighting women, resulted in the character being re-imagined as a futanari.
The discrepancy regarding Poison has been addressed more than once in interviews with former and current Capcom employees. Final Fight developer and Arika founder Akira Nishitani stated he supposed the character could be male, but added it was up to the viewer to decide. Street Fighter IV's producer Yoshinori Ono, when asked in an interview about the matter, stated "Let's set the record straight: in North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual. But in Japan, she simply tucks her business away to look female." He later emphasized it again when asked about what female characters could be included in the game Street Fighter IV, stating that it would be too confusing to include her due to the region-specific gender. Since then, however, he has changed his mind twice, first making her a definite post-op for better ease of localization and consistency with past official statements, and then later deciding that it's best to leave it up to the fans after all.
Yeah, but he's basically a bigger Zangief.I'm not talking about his fluff (like being Andre the Giant)
A lot of his design is basically "How big can you make an SF character that still functions?" Like it's apparently damn hard to even jump over his standing hitbox, for example. The Japs think he's terrible in USF4 atm tho.
