Street Fighter 4

What I like the most about people who talk about Poison is that they often say the following:

"She’s 100% female. Capcom had to change her gender in America because they don’t wanted controversies about a man hitting women in a video game. Haven’t you heard noob?"

It’s like; they totally need to prove she is female, over wise they couldn’t play her. That’s so ridiculous it hurts. They basically say: "I can’t bang her so I won’t play her." I like to answer just with this:

"Why do you play Ryu then? Or any other male character? If sexual compatibility is all you’re thinking about".

And also, the statement is just not true. Poison was labeled a "Newhalf" in the japanese manual of the first Final Fight, so the gender was set from the get go. Capcom just likes to troll people about it, like having cosplayers doing Poison on stage in a promotional interview, half of the models male, the other half female. Capcom also doesn’t address this in clear way anymore because they know that most of the players are ignorant dumbasses who wouldn’t tolerate it und scream bullshit all over the internet. That’s my theory about it.

Hell, I even have this (very informative) video about Poison with the facts about her in it bookmarked, because the freakin topic comes up like all the time. I just drop the already mentioned sentence with the video link and leave. Stopped counting how much I did that already since Ultra was announced.

I totally don’t care about the gender of the character I’m playing, I really don’t. I admit, as a kid I don’t played video games with female lead characters or as ladies in fighting games because it was uncool. But I’m not 7 or 8 anymore, it doesn’t matter now.

I like Poison because she’s funny, has an interesting move set, and I confess: She looks hot. What’s in her pants, or was once, not important to me. I’m straight in real life but I don’t hate people for what they like to wear or their sexual interests. But I do like the idiotic comments the topic brings up on the internet and it shows me how ignorant some people really are.

I’m really happy that a person here on the Skullheart can say "I’m a trannie" and don’t get endless pages of hate for it. Really speaks for the community in a good way.

And Spellbound: You’re awesome!

I prefer playing female characters in FGs because they generally tend more towards speed/agility-based gameplay. Beyond having good/bad character design (which is rarely influenced by gender considerations), I don't see why people really care at all.
 
Here's a YouTube reupload of the USF4 event that took place at JAEPO this morning. Daigo Umehara, Haitani, and Bonchan were all in attendance.

 
Thanks Q and the rest of Skullheart and not blowing me up for being feminine =D
I think more FGs need a "Poison" in their roster. Just reading the most ridiculous jokes and reasons why people won't play her is amusing to me. She's a ficitional character guys, you can play her and call her hot and still maintain a hetero orientation haha.
 
Well Poison IS a woman
nothing wrong with finding a woman attractive you know
 
I always thought Poison identified herself as a woman, so I just call her a woman.

Yeah, that's all I got.

All I know is that Poison beats me up every time I play SFxT.
 
Woman or not, (s)he is still hot, and that's what matters when you're only looking the looks right?

would definitely tap dat ass (and of many hot poison cosplayers too)

I though he was pretty hot :(
 
I haven't seen Remy.
 
That Japanese Poison... HORY SHET.
 
Oh, no, he doesn't really interest me. Anyway, I've been playing SFxT just to use Elena. The fun is starting to wear off.
 
I know how that goes. I was so stoked to be able to play my team, Poison/Nina too, but the game is just so funky.

3rd strike is better for that. the failed win pose always makes me laugh
 
This is like the waifu wars all over again, only with everyone agreeing with each other.

Search on YouTube for "choco taco vs the world"

I'm serious

Everyone loves NutsvsGuts. Akuma using Raging Demon while in a bathrobe, priceless.
 
ComboFiend feels this will be the 'definitive version of SF4' - this is Capcomese for "another update coming in 6 months".:PUN:

I'm still curious, can I buy AE and upgrade to get Ultra and still get those costumes? Or do I have to get Ultra on it's own?
