Fighting Game Community (FGC) General - The history of FGC drama, general FGC shenanigans, and directory to more eccentric individuals and subcultures within the community

Okay so during the SF6 beta I hated Kimberly with a passion. She was OP and she's ugly as fuck, but I'm warming up to her. Turns out you lose when doing fan art of her. Either you do an honest portrayal and get shit on for being racist (lol) or you change her features and get shit on for being revisionist lmao.

See this fanart:

Some people on /r/streetfighter are getting butthurt about it:

Then you have this fanart that actually makes her look appealing:

Make a game set in an urban setting:

Where are the Black people? Why are they portrayed as such? How dark are they? Why are you gentrifying POCs?

They'll complain about anything.
 
The people crying about fanart seem to have forgotten that Blanka was originally designed to be an African slave and that's why he had the slave anklets for so long. street-fighter-ii---anabebe-1527560624189_v2_750x421.png
 
This smells of cope.

To be fair though, all the female models in SF6 are butt-ugly, not to mention Cammy in this game is also rocking a 5 head. Android 18 would fit right at home with this game.
I'd agree though if Capcom didn't fuck her up even in the official artwork. She looks like she has a damn mustache.

Hello, my name is Jim Chong.
I don't mind transgender people. I just really hate the weird modern fascination with genital mutilation given the fact that I am Chinese and our country has had a really horrible grotesque history with eunuchs (even child genital mutilation). I just find trannies are all very tasteless.

I want back to play xrd with my brother after only playing strive for like 2 month, it's amazing how much better it feels in pretty much every way, it's a much much funner game to play

I see what they were going for, and yea, they fucked it up a bit. They could have went back and fixed it proper.

Japan in anything anime related likes to make black people's lips very pronounced by either doing it subtley (outline around/above the mouth) or ridiculously thick like a clown (i.e. the Mr. PoPo look)... not that I mind, in fact I find it funny.

I remember when capcom used to trick me that niggers could have attractive women

but to be fair, it seems like all games nowadays are doing the more "accurate" negro features on black characters, especially the females. Like come on man, I'm trying to escape reality here!

Of the entire SF3 cast Elena was my favorite.
Too bad she was terrible.
 
Genuinely the most retarded thing I've seen.

"Let's make the move you get from taking damage, be that you heal damage"

All they had to do was make it her Super.
even if they made that change she would still be super top tier, healing just took her over the obnoxious edge. it would have gone a long way to making her less annoying to fight against at least
 
Huh, I had no idea.
I tapped out of SF4 shortly after super.
I don't think I've ever played Ultra.
Shit, my copy of V is still sealed.
even outside of the healing ultra she had some absurd tools, including a borderline unreactable overhead for 1 meter (15 frame startup and hits from half screen). her hurtboxes were also completely broken on release and a lot of attacks would just phase through her.


this video goes into a lot more detail on all the ways she was too good

a lot of people feel like she killed the game competitively once it was realized how good she was. every tournament player had a pocket elena and seemingly half the matches would devolve into healing grindfests. infiltration being a counterpicking scumbag and playing annoying runaway decapre and healing elena certainly didn't help with that reputation
