Someone's talkin shit about Mi'qote and I don't like it!

I had to Google Mi'qote lol. It's not really that (Even if I do think it's pretty weird) but more the fact that Square tried really hard to make Lightning this serious character and then make her do something like that. Ruins a lot of credibility.

 

[zogged]

That's pretty hot.

Something about her movement/hips.

Uhhhh... might wanna look up who that is dude. Results will surprise you.

 

[Constantine81]

what game is it?

P.T. I believe, but I don't remember ever seeing this ghost.

 

[retroman]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the legendary Ash, a character too fabulous to include in the game we know as Streets of Rage 3!

Knock knees? Check!
Silly run? Check!
Fabulous posing? Check!

So, is this the thread winner

Spoiler

(loser)

then?

 

[Tye The Czar]

"Um, my eyes are up here."
"Kind of hard when you have the other stuff on display... or are you just using it as a judge of character?"
"I'm looking for a man that I don't have to use the former line on."

Or you could also assume that her intimates got mixed up with her standard attire at the tailor who meshed them into one disastrous jumpsuit.

 

[Tizoc]

I won't call this stupid but it is indeed a bizarre animation; Gato's DP+Kick move. I can't find a GIF of it anywhere but it's like a dude running up steps...but doing it while in the air.

Martial Masters has the goofiest idle animations and I love it.

HOW HAVE I NOT PLAYED MARTIAL MASTERS YET?!

 

[Rodolink]

P.T. I believe, but I don't remember ever seeing this ghost.

The ghost freaks out, but after a while it looks funny, like a game's glitch

 

[Fandangox]

That's pretty hot.

[GayForMaster]

To that game's credit it's from the alpha demo that Conan got to play many months before release. No idea how it looks in the final game though.

It looks just as bad actually.

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Halo 5 Brofist - the thread

I like it.

 

[Fandangox]

One of Captain Falcon's victory poses from Melee

I will fite u friend

 

[Genio88]

Halo 5 Brofist - the thread

They look like the ninja turtles

 

[Tizoc]

I JUST remembered this lol

Spoiler

I actually think they're awesome and as per Darkstalkers makes each character stand out. Chara is Zabel Zabrock btw

 

[Ramirez]

Halo 5 Brofist - the thread

2 high fives, "brofist".

I wish they would up the ante on these things, loved how bent out of shape people got over them in the beta.

 

[Razzorn34]

Have you guys never played Dark Souls?

"Well, what is it?"

Some of the DS taunts fit perfectly for Halo.

That isn't actually a taunt. Western people just made it into one. This is a Japanese made game. That type of taunting isn't in their culture. It's meant to be more of a "What in the world am I looking at" type of animation.

 

[R0ckman]

The Dinner Dance from Infinite Undiscovery.

 

[antitrop]

I've never been able to figure out why Ashe from FFXII was picking her nose in all the promo material.

 

[NIN90]

Yeah, that stupid modern sonic always ruining everything.

I'm well aware that oldschool Sonic does the same thing. It just looks extra awful when modern Sonic does it.

 

[Windforce]

Blaze from Streets of Rage 3

WHY, Sega?

Also, MKX Kitana looks stupid.

 

[DJIzana]

I should probably clarify my post for the gentleman pose more. I absolutely love the Hildebrand quest line. I just... Don't like that pose. That's all.

 

[Lord_Balkan]

I love MK, but this one always bothered me. Is he a cat?

 

[Kain]

It's not that I don't like her... qualities, but her walking animations are stupid

 

[Jamesways]

I realize that. But that is how western folks use it. All the damn time.

I did love that aspect of DS though, choosing the different animations and using them in co-op.

 

[Alo81]

Squizzard from Super Mario Galaxy 2

Worst animations evar.


\(O.O)/

I feel like every time I see a boss form the SMG games they're instantly recognizable, but I don't remember this dude at all.

 

[Coconut]

Mass effect running.

lol come on dude.

Japanese culture doesn't know what taunting is, no way is that supposed to be a taunt!

 

[Poltergust]

I had the exact same reaction.

I 100%ed SMG2 and I don't remember this guy at all.

 

[Sesha]

From Tales of Xillia.

God, her walking animation is ridiculous.

If they toned down the breasts, got rid of the pumps, removed the flesh windows or significantly scaled them back, made her hair any color but silvery white, and got rid of the fox ears and tail, and this would be an OK design. Maybe give her red hair to go with the fox theme. The fox-themed catsuit ninja thing they're going for could be cool, but not like this.

she also needs corrective spinal surgery

 

[Kraatu]

Xenoblade's jump animation, holy shit.

THIS.

Animations in this game were so janky they've made me stop playing.
Running is awful.

Xenoblade janky running video

 

[me0wish]

So damn true. I cringed so hard when she got her weapon as well... Who the fuck acts like that?

Minor FFXIII spoilers: http://youtu.be/yxMcuzOgVrU?t=33m26s

Okaay.. This is actually the first time I've seen FFXIII in game, I've heard bad things about the characters, but I've never expected it to be THAT BAD! Oh god.. now I feel watching through the whole video to see how bad it is, cringed worthy stuff.

 

[Sagely]

Whatever the fuck they did with Lightning for the unlockable costumes you could get for her in Lightning Returns. I currently can't link the video for it but man was it cringe worthy.

Edit: found a picture what a valiant attempt to destroy any kind of respect you had for a character.

What I like about this is the fact that she still looks grumpy and dead-eyed.

 

[Ishida]

Minor FFXIII spoilers: http://youtu.be/yxMcuzOgVrU?t=33m26s

Vanille sounds like she's on the verge of orgasm in that scene. And yes, I know of her infamous "orgasmic overdrive" Eidolon thing.

 

[rhandino]

Maybe give her red hair to go with the fox theme.

???

I don't like her, but mostly for other story related reasons =/

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Have people mentioned this yet? NPCs walking in place in virtually every JRPG ever.

No.

 

[World SkiFree]

Didn't have a chance to check out a lot of the thread but I immediately thought about some of the terrible enemy animations for Double Dragon: Neon (particularly the way the women characters walked). I love the game, but those animations were very distracting.

Also, the super-still torsos of characters in Legend of Kage (NES) while running kinda weird me out ...

 

[AtomicSymphonic]

JoJo's Bizzare Adventures: Stardust Crusaders... So many poses...

 

[Sesha]

???

I don't like her, but mostly for other story related reasons =/

Derp. I should know better, I've even encountered white foxes in Japan, multiple times at that.

Red hair would look cooler, though.

she also needs corrective spinal surgery

Well yes, but she doesn't doesn't walk around in-game cocking her hips at a 45 degree angle, does she?

...does she?

 

[AtomicSymphonic]

GAF pls...

This is LITERALLY the best combination of GIFs I've seen this year. It looks like he's dancing on top of the bottom GIF. Really awesome coincidence!

 

[timetokill]

Dude, this is awesome. You put this in the wrong thread.

 

[Akainu]

Bleh all of that was terrible. Is the whole dub that bad? lol

 

[AtomicSymphonic]

Yes.

At this point, I now believe that the Japanese in general have an in-joke about poses.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm not, this would be amazing!

 

[Ezalc]

JoJo's Bizzare Adventures: Stardust Crusaders... So many poses...

I see we got ourselves another heathen here.

 

[Akainu]

I don't think they are japanese.

 

[Mexen]

Do you even pose?

I love you guys!

 

[Roto13]

In an already boring game, gotta dance to pass the time.

 

[AtomicSymphonic]

I don't think they are japanese.

Could be from anywhere... With fabulous poses like those, they might be at the top of the fashion world!

 

[AtomicSymphonic]

I see we got ourselves another heathen here.

I feel like he's stretching just before a workout. At least... that is something I would do in real life.

 

[Puruzi]

That's literally making a completely different character. Especially changing the hair color and removing the ears/tail. What.

Design's pretty hot tbh.

 

[Takuan]

+1 Bullet from Blazblue. It's not enough to have her appear like a streetwalker, they had to give her a completely idiotic fighting stance, too.
