🌶️ Fan service is customer service 🌶️

[DENIS_Biomechanoid 🍑]

I still remember the days when exclusives like "Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash" and "Dead or Alive Xtreme 3" where common, now all we get are Alloy with facial hair and Abby from TLOU 2.

All western/westernized devs and companies with woke anti-customer sensibilities like Sony, Capcom (with Ashley censorship and Abby style abominations like Marisa) and many others are going to fail eventually as soon as ESG money runs out and they are forced to cater to the actual paying customers.

I'm pretty sure this is not even the first instance of censorship in this game, but I'm glad fanboys finally realized what kind of company they are dealing with.

This being said, does the Skullgirls community really want outsiders to think that this is a game that has toxic elitism and would prefer gatekeeping feedback unless you have a sizable time dedication to the game?

That was exactly how Skullgirls was at the beginning. So, yes, I imagine people haven't changed much on this. Skullgirls was a parody of the times, and was a middle finger to people that wanted less sexualization in games such as Anita Sarkisian. Filia is literally a mockery of anime school girls and how they'll have large busts and birth giving hips but then artists would slap a school uniform on them and say they're a developing teenager. She is specifically bustier and has broader hips than majority, if not all, adult characters in the game. If they just raised her age to 18, it would honestly play more into it because that's exactly how studios started handling things like Senran Kagura. The devs acting like she's some actual minor or even remotely close to looking like a teenager just shows how disconnected the new companies are from the origin of the game.

wait until you play the game and find out she actually is a teenager with the fact her age was already done in mind with the design,oh and I don't know the fact she literally goes to high school alongside Painwheel
even if that above statement wasn't true the wiki literally even mentions her age.

The comment was in response to the users tone in commenting, as they were pointing out lack of significant play time.

I'm well aware of the context of the character designs and the funding campaign.

Nice profile lol... But yeah, the senran kagura franchise is basically dead it's only hanging on it's thread due to the JP gacha game.

Why would someone buy a fan service game but without the fan service? There are tons of other games of the same genre that are more enganging with better gameplay mechanics/story but they remove/nerf the one thing they had going for them.

............majority men don't like muscular women like that, especially in that build. It's more of a fetish kind of thing you know. Although men will make out with anything, can't deny that... Capcom knows what they are doing. If SF5 teaches them that if they want to make more money, they have to sexualize the women because women are going to sexualize themselves anyway with hesitation. .........it's strange that ppl think that sexualization is bad, but if you talk to most women, that's normal. So the only ppl who want to change the standard hates women. Digressed, sry...

Whether they're the majority or not doesn't matter. It's still included in the game. Majority of men aren't into feet yet Juri exists for the weirdos into that ♥♥♥♥. SF6 is a fetish ground for all people, from the vanilla to the degenerate. That's not what a 'woke' company would do.

I don't really care about the wider politics regarding this sexualization thing.
But capcom isn't this woke SJW cult like people say they are. People who really think that because of some elements in their games are too far gone.

Well, 1-2 months ago they did double down on DEI. Don’t become too faithful of a company just because of giving customers what they want. This isn’t the first time Capcom had done this. Where they got successful then gone full ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and cripple their business. Only to become successful again and done it once more. They seem to created this cycle on their own and in the successful phase. The full ♥♥♥♥♥♥ phase is on the horizon. I just don’t know what series of games it’ll be, but I’m looking at exoprimal due to its model.

Edit: can’t even say the R-word publicly. Who needs free speech.

Played the game for ages on PS3. I was also around when Skullgirls was announced and Alex and Mike would talk about their ideas for the characters. I was there back when they talked about Skullgirls potentially being a dating sim with collectible hats to focus on fanservice and making fun of Team Fortress 2. (I'm still disappointed that they didn't go with Tower Defense, because I really enjoy the genre, but 2D fighter is good, too.) I remember when they hired ZONE, someone that was literally gaining popularity for drawing skullgirls characters in porn.

Yes, she was made 16. This is part of her being a parody of busty anime "high school girls".
Yes, she goes to high school. This is part of her being a parody of busy anime "high school girls".
Yes, these things were in mind when Filia was designed, because she was made to be a parody of busty anime "high school girls"

You act like she was actually born and raised somewhere and then at 16 they turned her into a video game character. She was drawn to be sexualized, much as a parody. If he had simply wrote the text "18" into the game instead of 16, people would have no ground to stand on this whole "she's pedobait" argument because she has zero underage features.

It wouldn’t matter if you raise the age to 18. Ppl will view it as CP so it’s pointless to discuss with those people.

TIL removing the option to look at a child's underwear is "woke".

I genuinely love it when people say this, it immediately outs them as people who have no idea what they're talking about and makes the defenders look stupid.

If I was wrong you would have made an argument and shown how. Alas, all you have is emotions.

Age of Majority actually varies globally. In the UK, it's 16, and in Mississippi, you're not an adult until you're 21 despite still being eligible to join the military. Also true of Singapore and Puerto Rico. New Zealand is 20, and Canada is 19.

But for Filia it all comes out the same. Age in Skullgirls is truly just a number when we have a character that is eternally 15 physically despite being immortal to parody the immortal 1000 year loli archetype. (her panties seem to be fine to see, even displayed right on her DLC page in one of the screenshots).

Personally, I'd love to see an artist draw what they think Filia would look like at say.. 20 years old and see how it differs.

I've seen geniuses argue that Ariana Grande looks like a child. She is 30 by the way.

ALL of the "X looks like a child" freaks are to be ignored.

In fact I would gladly label all busty MILF characters in anime as being 12 y.o. just to pîss them the fúck off.

Anyone who seriously argues about the age of a fictional character is clearly a fake geek and an infiltrator.

Daidoji from Senran Kagura is an example of a hot muscular tomboy and one of my favorite characters:

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/kagura/images/6/6b/Daidouji_Transformed_PBS.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180606001257

Marisa though? Including Marisa in your game is even stupider than including a flamboyant black gay man in your intro cutscene. And I bet there are more street fighter fans who are gay, than who would be attracted to Marisa.

Juri has other parts of her [body] which are attractive, so she is VERY appealing to an average gamer.

Just like with Mortal Kombat, slow descent into SUCK by making every single female character ugly and covered up begins with the first step.

Look at Skarlet from MK. She came a long way from wearing a skimpy bikini to a literal burka. Mark my words, I bet the next SF not even gonna have any token fan service outfits and all the female characters are going to be "westernized" for "modern audience" a.k.a. twitter freaks who would never even purchase the game anyway.

:sssaki::sssaki::sssaki:

your link didn't even work, and now you're citing MK as an example when that's a western studio which you types claim to be where all the 'woke agenda' is at. Capcom is Japanese.

Juri being attractive conventionally doesn't change the fact that a lot of her animations are primarily based on feet. that's turning away a lot of guys no matter what she looks like lol.

Also, the flamboyant black gay guy isn't even in the intro. Most you see him is in the fighting hub, and you don't even get to interact with him that often. Besides, why would a guy looking like that be a problem, or out of place? Street Fighter 6 already has a colorful and crazy cast of weird people. Blanka is a green electric Hulk for crying out loud.

I've got no reason to believe Capcom will even neuter the sex appeal of SF when SF5 and SF4 in comparison... Hell, most previous street fighters were not nearly as overly indulgent as SF6. SF4 didn't have Cammy's winning pose be an ass shot. Neither did SF5. We're going in the direction you guys like and yet y'all are still doomposting. This is what i mean when i say people who believe this ♥♥♥♥ are too damn far gone into this culture war crap.

There are ppl in this world that actually believes it. It's not online though...

[MaximaID]

If defending Marisa in this situation going to cost me my dignity as a human being, then so be it.

Look up NEO-QUEENDOM. yeah, it's pretty much a thing in Japan with muscular women with a build like Marisa. And no, I don't like Abby nor anything that has something to do with American political agenda.
