Why does this character look like a dude but sound like a chick?
Because the tumblr lunatics that became character designers for most western games today think that if a character isnt subverting something with its design, its not worth making (or actively evil to make it).
>>729332754>hop on over to RoA 2 steam page >look at the reviews>the few actually critical ones are le downvoted with clown facesThe hugbox echochamber this hyper-tranny split-off community of Smash Bros' community is insufferable. They do the same shit even on YouTube comments: criticism is drowned out with emotionalist HRT fits
Idk I stopped playing when fleet was nerfed lol. typical reactionary trigger-happy devs changing the way the entire roster plays every other months. no thank you
>>729332754muscle mommies are popular with zoomers.
>>729333880Small niche game with a victim complex. Impossible to criticize such a thing because their community is propped up on fake love for the flawed product instead of seeking to improve it.
>>729332754Because it's a stylized buff chick who was voted into the sequel by fans, and who is clearly female based on her pink color palette and female voiceNext question
>>729332754She's a futa
>>729334164It's a bit ironic calling the developers trigger happy when Fleet is still a strong character regularly appearing in tournament top 8s. A Fleet player actually just upset the #1 player a week or two ago, and it wasn't even close.People overreact to balance patches because, unlike other platform fighters (or even major fighting games), the game is actively being patched and they think they can get their way if they're vocal enough. Every time a character is nerfed, people claim that they're dead, but it's been true exactly once. Zetterburn, Olympia, and even Orcane are still some of the best characters in the game. Some players think Kragg is actually top 3, if not top 1, even though he was hit with an air speed nerf that caused his players to proclaim him dead.The only character who was overnerfed is Ranno, and he's still good, just not good enough to do anything but bloat top 32 / 16 of tournament brackets before inevitably getting weeded out by characters who can do what he used to be able to do.
>>729333880>The hugbox echochamber this hyper-tranny split-off community of Smash Bros' community is insufferable.I thought you were being a hyperbolic vtard making that statement, but seeing recent rivals 2 tournaments caught me off guard. Being a "she/her" seems popular there.
>>729336261...No shit
>>729336261It's a cross section of multiple forms of autism.>competitive gaming>competitive Smash Bros>furfag artstyleROA has speedrunning levels of trannies involved. It's also at EVO this year. Just wait until the general viewer decides to check in on the ROA stream and sees the level of balls hanging out of miniskirts covered only by sheer mesh leggings degeneracy that they hit on stream.
>>729336441i play the game and this is pretty inaccurate. i'm also a straight white dude in his 30s who doesn't fuck with any of this idpol shit. everyone i've bothered to interact with in the community has been chill, with the exception of the redditors who are actually an annoying hugbox protecting their precious game. and even then it's far from all of them. people openly shit on dan and the team all the time.also, there's only 2 trannies who regularly show up in tournaments.
>>729332754I want to have sex with this rat, if you know what I mean...
>>729337154Erm, that's clearly a fox-dog thing>but it was a fan characterWell the fan creator doesn't know what a rat looks like
>>729332754Because she's an ant.
>>729337371>this confounds the /v/irgin
>>729337371Ants aren't muscular
>>729337495Anon, one of the most well-known cool bug facts is how strong ants are
>>729337773Does that look bulky to you, if anything she should be thin if you're going on about muh realism
>>729337870I'm not going on about realism, I'm talking about how a design can draw inspiration from reality
>>729337371So?>>729337870I've noticed that when this topic comes up, people love using realism arguments even when we are talking about fantastical creatures, so we've already deviated from the real, and even then they don't make sense.
>>729337773Still not a musclebound 'hon no matter how much you want it to be
>>729337934But the thing about ants is they're deceivably strong, making an ant character bulky is honestly less inspired.And to go back to what op asked, you can still have a female character be muscular and still look feminine.
>>729332754Tranny game
>>729338179kek
>>729334314>>729335209There's a reason most muscle mommy and Futa characters have huge boobs.
>>729333378>>729332754>>729337983Ants are mostly female, males have significantly shorter lifespans and die a while after having sex. Ants do not produce milk so tits wouldn't make sense on an insectoid and neither would curves since ants lay eggs and rely on pheromones instead of audio and visual cues. Some worker ants(soldier ants) are larger and posses physical traits good for fighting
>>729338886>>729337870
the artist is a filthy dirty tranny and is trying to groom your children into having anal sex in truckstop bathrooms with men twice their ageThere, got it all out of your systemCan we stop pretending we care about this please
>>729339096i care, i truly doit's why i don't play this trash and never will
Dear Santa, Give me workshop beta. Sincerely, Timmy
>>729339235soon™they added this emote, devs have access to the tutorial workshop character icon, and the closed beta was supposed to start this month
>>729338886Ants are also known to have very thin bodies, fat rears, and six limbs.
>>729339026>>729339453>Some worker ants(soldier ants) are larger and posses physical traits good for fighting
>>729339869Even the larger varieties have very thin midsections and large ears. If anything, a proper hominoid ant warrior character should have an hourglass appearance
>>729339869Where's her huge fucking ass and slim waist then realismfag?
>>729340342anon that's called segmentationit would not manifest as an hourglass unless you decided to make it that wayinsects do not have 1-1 transferable body plans to vertebrates
>>729338628I love trans characters so much! <3
>>729340663try harder
>>729340443So what if it is segmentation? Wouldn't giving the character a thin midsection be a good way to represent that feature that all ants have? Like you're saying that they are simply applying the features of ants to her design, but they've picked and chosen. Other than her head, her design doesn't really say Ant.And even past that, it doesn't mean they had to give her the Johnny Bravo build.
>>729341102Johnny Bravo has a thin waist.
>>729332754She's wearing a binder than hide her MASSIVE sap sacks.
>>729341102Not "realism" anon, just jumping in to argue a specific point. The art is just whatever the artist wanted to depict. Complain to them.The insect abdomen contains nearly everything the human torso contains. It's not an "ass" unless you call your chest part of your ass.
>>729341102addendum to other post>Other than her head, her design doesn't really say Ant.classic anthropomorphism. look at the other characters and very few of them meet that criteria either
>>729332754The art team is full of gay furries. Just look at the guys while the girls are stripped of almost all feminine aspects.
>>729341301That's why I said hourglass in the last reply, like an Ant, a midsection that is notably thin compared to the body above and below it. La Reina and Johnny both had an exaggerated triangle-type build where the body below the midsection doesn't widen much.
>>729341886There is nothing wrong with this, in fact there are species where soldier ants have bigger heads in comparrison to the rest of the body
>>729341572>>729341673Well, you're bringing up the fact that she's supposed to be an Ant, and it comes off as you saying her being designed like this is a no-brainer. Which is why I listed Ant features that don't show in her design. And with Ants specifically, they have a pretty peculiar body plan that makes them stand out even among other bugs. Despite this, with most of the other characters, even if you remove their heads, they still have features that'll tell you what specific creature they are. La Reina just looks like a generic insectoid.
>chair gimmickThis is the problem with this game, every character has to have some really obnoxious gimmick thing that makes them annoying to play against. It makes the game not fun even when you're winning.
>>729342554>peculiar body plan that makes them stand out even among other bugsWell that's not true, they share a similar physiology to bees since they share a common ancestor.
>>729342868Bee characters are typically designed with wings, as more bulbous, and then you have their fluff and coloration. You know the distinctive and recognizable features of bees compared to other members of their Order.
>>729342695That's something I thought about, like how many characters in Smash would you say have a gimmick? And I don't mean a unique feature or playstyle, I mean an oddity that their play strongly revolves around. I feel like it's only 1/5th or maybe 1/4th. With Rivals, it feels like most of the cast.
>>729332754>>729337154>>729341886S E X
>>729335471Let's not forget that Clairen was considered low/bottom tier around launch because shitters were bad and needed gimmicks. Now it's the opposite-- Clairen is overrated because she is so straightforward. Total Lucina syndrome going on.
>>729343934The more recent the character, the more likely the gimmick. I would consider shit like Limit or Arsene to be a gimmick, same with Olimar's pikmin.
>>729343096>You know the distinctive and recognizable features of beesYou mean the general features of bees, different species of bees have different traits a good example being the most stereotypical features when one thinks of a bee- such as coloration - are specific to honeybees. Also, ants are polymorphic there are many different physiological traits within the same species like only males and queens having wings.
