Why did Castlevania drop this design for Sypha? Both in the games and the Netflix series?

>> No.5021185

Because you touch yourself at night.

It might be fanart, but it is pretty faithful to the sprite.

She was intentionally presented as a man in text, but her appearance was made just frail and girl-like enough for her to be ambiguous.

Same anon. What's your point? I still wanted that 8-bit ass as a kid. They obviously failed when they decided to draw curves in her sprite.

It's funny cause in the manual they refer to Sypha as ''He''. Probably they tried to kept her gender as a secret til you beat the game with her, somehow, like Samus Aran. Or maybe it was a silly translation mistake.

The Netflix series follows her SOTN sprite, and I'd say it's pretty close to that, so I don't know what you're talking about?

Let that anon have his nut, man. I don't think you want to understand. As for me, her name made me think she was a girl. That stuff called her a him somehow flashed by my head. Either way, just another example of someone not falling for the ruse they tried.

I remember this part gave me chills the first time I played this back in the day. Sypha was my favorite from Dracula's Curse.

She's a boymode+HRT trans girl and she isn't comfortable using female pronouns yet until she meets her cool vampire hunter bf Trevor.

Looks like Sypha to me, the pose gives it away mostly, besides the hoodie.
It's also been confirmed on an interview with the director of Castlevania IV, who explained that CV III and IV were developed at around the same time.

That's just Drac being disrespectful and vengeful by displaying a headless statue of Sypha.
