Very informative and amusing. Video gaming's first (?) transgender character shouldn't be retconned out imo.

Plus Poison is hot.

👆 Nice find

I'm seeing it for the first time and I can already taste vomit in my mouth.

I want that Trapcom shirt...

Oh yeah Poison is hot.

Penis or gtfo.

But yes, Poison was originally meant to be female, but was changed in the American release because of the view that beating up women is wrong. Which does unfortunately imply that beating up transexuals on the other hand is awwwwwwright.

^The video denies that explanation.

Yep. Poison was transgendered from the get-go according to the original concept art.

and original Japanese manual

So Nemebro was doubly wrong.

Wrong.

WRONG.

WRONG.

Yeah... I don't care what some neckbeard with a video says.

You're wrong.

Poison was originally conceived, in terms of a character, as female, but changed to better suit an impending NA release, as confirmed by Capcom multiple times, in All About Capcom Head to Head Fighting Games, and in the Making of Final Fight. Yes, Poison and Roxy were made Newhalfs from Japan out of the fear that feminist groups would sue... Oh, but here is the super fun part: In Final Fight's first American release, Poison and Roxy were not even in the game. Capcom NA pussied out and replaced them with generic male punk enemies.

Internet people... They see one video, and suddenly believe they're experts. Sad.

Of course, that is Capcom's explanation. The real explanation is Mike Haggar. Mike Haggar's aura of manliness is so powerful, that everyone around him grows a penis. Women now have a penis, and men have too.

But yeah. Let's see, my choices are:

A. Trust what Capcom, who made the character says.

or

B. Trust what some person said in a video.

Oh such a hard choice.

Well I made a Rarity on SCV. Was planning to make Rainbow Dash but the game's character creation won't let you have rainbow hair.

that doesn't actually oppose what I took from it, I can see the original idea being female and changed before the game even came out. But what I frequently hear is that it was changed only after the American release, which is different and implies that she was originally released as female. which is what I got as him saying wasn't true.

The **** is the rest of the article? haermm

"Kingdom Hearts Sucks(But it Doesn't Have to)"

They got the first part in there, complaining about how it sucks. But they didn't offer any solution to it. So why not just make the title "Kingdom Hearts Sucks" ? o.O

Don't get the thing with playing out the Disney story roles. Kinda the whole point.. Consoles not a big deal unless youre a die hard KH fan, theres a reason for the names (.com, bbs, 3d) and they went to a Kingdom Hearts in the first and second games O.o

The only real complain was that it can be complex. Rest is half-arsed.

Seriously.

Not speaking as a KH fan here, this article is legitimately poorly written. Like, really badly. KH story is not great but it is still better written than this. haermm

Oh

There's a second page. Lesse here.

Theres a second page where they talk about ways to improve the series.

edit: Beaten like a cheap hooker.....

Hmmm

Some "solutions" they offer are valid I guess. Agrabah and some other worlds need a break, though BBS did introduce several new worlds so it's not like the creators are unaware of things I guess. The multi console thing I can agree with though I can see why they did it. Not because I care to buy more consoles but because KH is a douche about it.

I'm not really sure what he means by "Go to f***ing Kingdom Hearts Already!" Does he think it's a place...? Cause they've kinda already been there. Other solutions are just dumb. "Everyone would rather fight Sher Khan than Clayton" is a statement that can only be proven if one takes a survey of some kind. And complaining about the names is just petty.

So yeah, this article is still pretty darn poorly written. Worse than the Kingdom Hearts games. awesome
