/vr/ - Retro Games

It's a pretty well kept secret even to this day, but Samus from Metroid is a woman.

Does it count if we thought they were female as a kid?

>>505097

Well at the current rate the thread is going, that's fine. Was it the hair that confused you?

Fuk Sakura

Yuka was best Fem-Ryu

>>505217
>Variable Geo

Goddamn, I thought I was the only one who cared.....

>>505217
I love this kind of retro anime art. I liked it when people looked kinda jagged and pointy, it's a bit more believable to have an action character look like that, compared to all the soft round faces you see in anime today.

Pic unrelated, other than thread topic.

Aya.
Beautiful. Strong. Feminine.

G-got something in my eye... damn..

>>505231
Whatever did happen to this series? It seemed to be going well after it made the move from being a hentai series. AVG2 is one of the best PS1 fighters.

>>505231
Nah, that wasn't even the first time I've seen it mentioned here. Seems like someone mentions it in every fighting game thread we have here on /vr/. Dunno if it's the same guy or not, but I like it too.

Pic related, best character.

>>505160
That and the chest plating. Even before the addition of the green orbs I thought it was drawing attention to the chest in a "tertiary sexual characteristics" sort of way. Part of it was also being a fan of Metroid and how Samus was just a bounty hunter who got shit done, instead of "look at me, I'm just as strong as you boys!" tomboy that was prevalent at the time. Zero as a chick just kinda worked for me.

Posting an actual favorite female character to stay relevant.

Role model for all women

Not the main character, but one of them I guess.

>>504825
Is Lara Croft ANYONE'S favourite female at all? I thought nobody really liked her. She was "iconic" in the MTV sense - the only one 12 year olds knew. Nobody took her seriously, though.

Anyway, THE waifu. I loved her dearly before she was cool.

>>505309

my nigga

may was awesome too

>>505415

Chun Li and Dixie Kong

Also Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 3.

So many faps were had.

>>505240
>Umihara Kawase
Mah nigga.

I just started Phantasy Star.

Alis really is incredibly weak at the start.

Finally I get a chance to post this video. It's very related to the thread, you should watch it, it's excellent.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT38jG6ahWI

>>505309
I still think Zero would work better as a chick. I was really shocked when I found out it was supposed to be a guy. Crazy fuckken nips.

>>505481
Nobody wants to watch your YouTube skits.

>>505240
70s, 80s and 90s anime was so boss in every imaginable way.

It's really sad how much it has deteriorated as an art form. Much like videogames, moreso I would even say.

>>505492
It's not mine and very well made featuring a delicious BDSM starlet.

The other videos from that guy are kinda shitty and boring to be honest but that one is really worth watching.

>>505267
She was awesome

>>504825
I like Yuko from Valis

>>505254

Not enough porn

My first ever experience with female heroines.

>would keep warm

right here. all day. total package.

>>505704

That Nana is pig disgusting, they got her proportions all wrong.

>>505786

>not realizing her proportions were superdeformed for an 8-bit game

Underage b& detected.

>>505791

>not realizing sexy midget women are hot as fuck

Making her look like she's a real woman is just wrong.

>>505794

Oh you and your weird fetishism anon

Burning, zapping and freezing mofos all day erry day.

>>505449
>incredibly weak at the start
every old rpg character ever.

>>505906

HNNNNGGGGG

I can't really name a lot of video games female protagonists that I like but I always thought we didn't have enough games with a decent female protagonist.

Also, female protagonists from swordcraft series and Iji.

>>505906

>>505481
>Alisia Dragoon
Mah nigga, I fucking LOVE that game.

sadly pic related, tough it was the more recent games that brought her to my attention.

For some rason as a kid I always saw Lejes as female, but now I'm hearing otherwise.

Mai Waifu (geddit?)

>>506936
>Mai
>Mai waifu
lol

Samus, you bitch! I did it first! I was the original chick in a suit you didn't realize was a chick until the end of the game!

Surely, the gynoid/plane hybrid hero we deserve!

>>507009
My negro friend.

>>505347

A princess prone to many, many deaths.

>>505952
I, uh, kiss other girls all the time!

Nobody remembers sexy Lucia ....

>>507048
this?

>>505952
>female protagonists from swordcraft
what about the side characters?

The raddest space bounty hunters EVER !

I bet I'm the only one who knows them....

>feels bad man

>>505326
Yes she is if we go by official material and ignore the unofficial (but sexy).
Pic related was a strong female character as well for the most part.

>>507076
that screenshot is what convinced me to play the game

>>507089
You are not forever a scone in knowing.

>>505326
>Wrong
What an appropriate trip.

Which do you prefer? Mythical Athena?

>>505493
Didn't you like TTGL?

>>507128
Or modern day Athena?
Believe it or not, same gal.

>>505240
Retro anime 4ever !!!

>OH YEAH !

So many great female characters ITT.

Seems like Anita is really full of shit.

Forever and always. I hardly even knew what Adam or Axel played like.

Dreamcast counts for this board right? Since it launched in '99.

Not a favourite character as such, but an enjoyable novelty to play as.

Also, in Smackdown! 2, I always created a female called 'The Ref' who was about seven foot tall and had massive tangas. Also, she wore a referee's shirt.

>>504857
My nigga I was gonna post Claire myself until I opened the thread

>>507217
I actually dug using her in THPS1, she seemed faster than the others.

we yeah. Mah nigga.

>>507250
>Not posting based Lucca instead

Official art.

Interesting no one mentioned Lammy.

Not Slayers, the none the less awesome video game.

>>507581
Slayers had 4-5 retro games.

Here's one for the Ki/Kai fans, all three of you.

h-hi mods

>>507602
I'm aware. Popful Mail just shared the same style and voice actress for probably not coincidental reasons.

>Ctrl-F MS. Pac-Man
>0 results

C'mon /vr/, and you call yourselves troopers...

>>507581
I can barely translate that but she's either saying "Aw Sweeps" or "Aw Shucks". Something like that.

Elven babes are the best.

>>507650
>2 holy sticks and a thunder wand

what a slut!

>>504825
>Legend of the Ghost Lion
Need to check that out soon.

>>507230
Slight tangent, but when I try to play this, the timing feels like it should be split-second.
Is it because I'm playing a burned copy?

>>505449
Well what did you expect, it's an RPG.

Fucking love Phantasy Star's idea with that though, at the time an RPG with a female heroine was nearly unheard of.

>>507076
>>507084
>Swordcraft
>Retro in any way.

Wait a minute.

>No one mentions Princess Peach in SMB 2
She fucking floats.

Also Ms. Pacman FTW.

>>507626
How the hell do you fuck a tangerine or a quarter-eaten pizza with a bow?

Space Hunter

>>507824
Implying MILF Pac-Man is either one of those things.

>>507316
>>507250
Am I the only one who thinks these are the best written female characters we got in retro?

I'm not fanwanking or anything, I loved PS1's protag but there's just more great moments in CT.

Popful Mail
>that gameover screen fanservice

The main character from Faria, A World of Mystery and Danger!

In the US version you don't actually get to know that until later in the game.
The boxart has a male knight fighting a dragon on it.
The japanese version plays it straight by having a girl on the cover.

>>507875
Maybe they wanted to capitalize on Metroid's twist?

>>505267
Fuck yes Alys.

She and Chaz remind me of Rina & Gaudi from the Slayers anime.

And Zio looks like Xelloss.

I can't unthink Slayers while playing PS4

>>507870
Now I wish PM was on the Saturn rather than the Sega CD

>No one mentions the female protag of Pokemon Crystal.
Sure characterization was like, nothing. But it was the same with all Pokemon games.

>>507098
Celes was awesome, too.

But I'll say Blaze from Streets of Rage

>>507897
>Rina & Gaudi

Uhh, I'm not going to tell you that you can't call them that. But why would you call them that?

Crystal was 2000 dude.

>>507902

Crystal was 2000 dude.

>>507902
All protagonists after Red don't count.

>>507931
I mix it with the spanish version

>>507958
They do count just for hentai though

>>507940

I hate her official art, but her sprites are adorable.

>>507986

>ffideon kinds

>>507791
what is your def of 'retro', anon? mine is 'not current gaming'. i.e anything not for current gen consoles.
ds is current gen. so is the new ds. so is psp and pspvita.
gba isn't.

>>508046
see
>>88549

The Game Boy Advance was released in 2001 and is considered a sixth generation console.

>>508064
Time moves on amigo. in 10 years, current games will be called retro.

>>507901
Something about that era of graphics made fan service feel so much naughtier.

>>508130
It might also just be nostalgia, but I personally feel the late 20th century beauty standard for women in media was just so much more appealing than what we usually have now, and I'm not talking silicon fakery here.

>>507851

Not the only one.

1) They weren't blatant fetishistic fanservice
2) They weren't feminist-pandering I AM WOMYN HEAR ME ROAR types either.


They followed the formula I've been begging developers to use to create strong female characters for ages. Step 1: make a strong character, and Step 2: make them female. That's all there is to it. And CT proved it works damn well.

Best Girl.

>>508278

If that's chubby I'll eat my fucking hat.

M-98s from Gaia Crusaders.

>TFW there isn't a single bit of fan art of her

why

WHY

>>508485

oh god
i'd been looking all across the fucking internet for pics of her.
i need to fap to more than just a tiny manual art, dammit!

>>507791
It's not retro but I thought it was worth mentioning at the very least.

>>508450
>>508474

Yeah I think >>508358 is talking about pic related. Open at own risk.

Personally I found it arousing, but to each their own.

>Asks Ryu to train her
>He refuses
>Develops her own style
>Canonically teams up with Ken to fight fucking Bison

>>505240
Jagged for action.

Round for cute.

You know what was awkward? That period in the 90's where all anime characters would change facial structures for expressions because it was between the cute era of anime and the "I only ever watched Toonami era."

>>508567
Yeah, her ancestor was a bit chub. Still hot.

Def fapped to the strategy guide pages with her...dat skirt..

>>508037
I know what was being quoting, and it wasn't because it was Pokemon. More like because it was /vp/ behavior. Two fucking different things anon.

>>508650
*quoted

I hate to start a shitstorm here, but something worth mentioning.

With all the worthwhile female characters we have, it's a wonder why people are arguing about female portrayal in retro games. Sans fapping reasons, there are some pretty damn good arguments in this thread.

>>508687

Please, let's not go into this. You are right in that some good points were made, but as we all know you can have a perfectly valid reason backed up by evidence and formulas and some people will still claim video games are all sexist to females. So please, please don't start this in what's been a halfway decent thread.

>>508687
I'd still argue it's not enough and I don't really find everything mentioned here a good pick. Honestly, I just love it when games or anime or whatever have a decent female protagonist.

>>508707
Noted, deleting now.s

>>507128
>>507135

Shinnihon Pepsitou did a really super doujin about her. Athena Ganbaru I think. One of my favs of theirs.

>>507152

Loves me some Fio. So cute. Plus shoots niggas in the face.

What's going on in this thread?

Seriously though.... another great underrated game is the platformer Ghost Sweeper Mikami.

>>507608

Mods cutting shit out of threads is getting fucking old.

>>510596
Here's a longplay

>not fanservice

Lucca was pretty cute but yeah I agree. Really well-done characters.

>>510596
Read the manga and watch the anime.
do it now

The lack of Shantae in here is unsettling

>>505601
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS GAME I was thinking about this the other day! thank you for reminding me what the hell it is!

>>510631
Jawohl!

>>510631
>>510662
Actually... I'm having trouble finding the anime

>>510676
http://bakabt.me/167624-ghost-sweeper-mikami-tv-h264-480p-zero-fansubs-ru.html

There might be a better torrent around, but to be fair its kind of an older show (early 90s)

>>510703
>fansubs-ru

Every time!

It's so hard to find older shows! I've been wanting to watch old stuff like Dirty Pair and Bubblegum Crisis recently, but everything seems to have Russian subs!

>>510720
These subs are actually in English.
But the group who did them are originally Russian, so they aren't the best.

Personally, I think they're okay, as they make the show watchable.

Think of it this way, they aren't DUWANG's subs.

Polite saging because this is anime and not /vr/

>>510771
Aha thanks

Well, here's another great game where you can play as a female main character... Or be the boring James Bond clone

the best darkstalker

>>505326
who exactly is this?

>>510851

It's Samus of the Metroid series.

>>510851
Tifa.

>>510851

Look at the image title if you ain't trolling, nyukkah.

I don't find her a particularly compelling or interesting character, and she behaves like an autist. Chrono Trigger and the DQ games were much better at having female characters than Final Fantasy (with the notable exception of 6) ever was.

Fio is the best Metal Slug.

>>505449
Seconding this. Since we share the same name, she was someone I could role model.

>>505775
Just beat that game as her :3

Deliciously flat-chested.

>not posting this bad bitch

>>511037

Man I don't give a fuck what you masturbate to, but quit trying to act like Lilith is drawn like a grown woman when she's not.

>>511083

Because all grown women have big tits.

>>511059
Well yeah, that's because OP said characters of the female gender.

>>511105
xD so funneh upboat dis

>>511118
What?

>>511097
real big tits

>>511083

She's drawn like a late teenager.

>>507581
dat game over screen pantsu

>>511105

Gender isn't biological, homeboy. Sex is.

>>511152

Late teenagers are not grown women. So...like I said.

>>511162
>Late teenagers are not grown women. So...like I said.

Oh, I'm not the guy you're arguing with. Just sayin', although that doesn't qualify as pedophile.

>>511083
>>511152
It depends on what drawing you're looking at. One of her official illustrations has her looking pretty young, but her official measurements are the same as Morrigan's (aside form the bust, of course) and her spritework matches that.

>>510828
>best darkstalker
>isn't even a monster

>>511219
>and her spritework matches that.

lol wut

>>511234

Hey, Donnovan isn't a monster. Err, wait he's half vampire isn't he?

>>511162
Which is fine if you're one or the other. If however you're transgender you're in a state of transition, you can call yourself whatever the fuck you like but you'll never be completely whole until you go all the way. You follow? If you have a cock and tits you're in a state of change you haven't completed yet. It's why so many going through the process choose to identify with new terms like "hir". The whole idea of the "trap" is based around the deceit that the viewer is fooled by a confusion of gender. Simply put, not a girl at all.

I'm not naive enough to confuse sex and gender, I actually have several transexual friends. Some do like to be called girls, they get the hell teased out of them by the more... militant? transexuals who think only by having the op are you truly able to call yourself a woman.

>>511239
Her spritework has the same proportions as Morrigan aside from the flat chest.

>>511262

Oh. I thought you were talking titties.

>>504825
Cossete from OMF2097.

"Your legs won't save you this time!"

>>511283
...or...

Why do people hate Tifa? She's an awesome friend

Angela from SD3 or Galactic Commander from the Math Blaster series

I don't know if she counts, but my favorite.
Also one of the fastest characters in vidya history.

The blonde titty monster in Shock Troopers 2

>>511412

Her name is Angel, for anyone seeking out Rule 34.

Ayame from the Tenchu series, way back when in the first game I always used her because her stealth kills were a lot cooler than... What's his face with the katana.

>>511461
Fuck, just realized captcha ate my pic.

I'm surprised nobody said Princess Toadstool from Super Mario Bros. 2.

"Main" character is pushing it but I consider any playabale character in a game a main one.

Or I'm just looking for an excuse to post Freya. Take it as you will.

>>511121
I don't know if it's a butthurt weaboo because originally it's a female or if it's a tranny butthurt about not counting the western tranny version as a female.

Anyway, Poison is hawt.

>>511162
Gender doesn't make you male or female then. Male and female denotes biological sex. If you want to call your mental illness "gender" you are free to do so but that doesn't change the fact that it's biology that dictates if you are a man or a woman.

>>511240
Self mutilation doesn't change your sex. Nothing does. You can't become a woman, only a mutilated freak.

>>512314

>mental illness

lel

>>512336

You realize most trans people don't get sexual reassignment surgery, right

Where were you people educated about this stuff? 4chan? You'd be better off trying to learn calculus from an infant.

No you , faggot. The rules currently contradict themselves.

>>512413
>>Where were you people educated about this stuff? 4chan? You'd be better off trying to learn calculus from an infant.

If this is true then I'm not surprised

No one said April Ryan? Is she too modern?

>>512564
>>512564
/pol/ has been leaking into everything lately. And not the levelheaded leftist libertarians, but the full blown conservative christians.

The theory is that now 'liberal' (take that term lightly) has become the mainstream (although its not, the perceived idea though has) kids trying to be contrarian and edgy are adopting conservative values. Now seeing as the idea of 'liberal' (obama and the dems) is still pretty far right wing in the grand scheme, being 'conservative contrarian and edgy' is balls to the wall right wing.

>>512604
Oy vey, these goyim aren't thinking like I want them to!

>>512618
no, your just not old enough to understand multiple viewpoints and shitty American public school system isn't teaching you how to critically think.

Samus was always a favorite, I loved that her armor was actually functional (they ruined it with the zero suit though)

>>512636
>multiple viewpoints

lol. You have and recognize only one viewpoint.

This thread made me quit 4chan for a few months. Good job retards. All I wanted was talk about video games.

You really didn't have to bump this thread for that.

>>512636
>>512604

You don't have to be religious to understand that believing you are a different "gender" than the sex you are born with is a form of mental illness. It's not even a bad thing, go do your hormones and operation, and be happy whatever, good for you but let's not bullshit ourselves. It's a mental illness. Just like a furry who's convinced he's a dog, you are not quite right in the head but hey as long as you don't hurt anybody that's fine with me.

Nice job on the prejudices towards everybody who might disagree with your bullshit by the way. You couldn't be more wrong about any of them.

>implying I'm religious
>implying I'm from murrka

Bitch, please.

>>512920

People who study the human mind (people who are smarter than you, I might add) don't view it as a mental illness.

>>512920
>but hey as long as you don't hurt anybody that's fine with me.

Fuck you, transsexuals are extremely interesting basket cases, and getting them and proper headcases that are very similar to flip out on people will be a fountain of fun.

They've already proven great inspiration for ways to give people what they deserve.

...seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people? the "trans community" is a fucking pocket of eccentricity, despair, self hatred, bitterness and whatnot else/

Why shouldn't there be good amounts of bodies seen around there?

For starters, all those times they off themselves, they need to do it, like ... making a big umpteen story splatter in the middle of a public place, like a university. But that's just scratching the surface.

>>512946
>implying psychology is worth a shit

Psychology is wishy-washy pseudoscience. It's basically a "religion" for secularists who think they're too smart for religion, but still want an excuse to look down on people who are different.

>>513093
HAHAH, yeah, that's what's so fucking fun about it! And it's an awesome weapon, you wouldn't believe how versatile it is, and how many different types of people you can target and hurt with it!

>>513120
You can't really "target" anyone with it... It's not like you can just run around pointing at people and telling them they have Asperger's, and have it be official. Even after someone has asked for an evaluation and you've given it to them, they still have to sign a release to validate it.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet.

Fun game, I'm trying to beat it right now. Got as far as what I assume is the final boss and blew up his right half, but ran out of lives.

His right half is pretty easy to kill without getting hit. I still need to figure out the dragon thing the dude before him has though. Part of the problem is keeping my dragons alive, it's so hard to get them to avoid shots.

Yeah it's not nearly as metal as the NA art was.

>>513203

Yeah, I had no idea this was a Japanese game when I picked it up. The anime girl flying across the screen between levels really threw me off.

>>504825
This bitch is my favorite character in the whole series.

>>512290

Hot and female no matter what idiots think.

>>513135
Fuck asburgers, they're just completely hopeless, they cherish their defectiveness! They're the fucking poster kids for mind management.

You don't even have to mention any diagnoses if you have your head wrapped around that shit, you spell out vividly what it is that's wrong with people, and then you can get all sorts of slimeballs!

Or you use it to tear at people's soft spots. or to terrorize them about the shit they hide from, or to push them into the unhealthy things they're prone to.

All sorts of fun!

>>513093
Damn straight, psychoanalysis is the righteous heir of the judeo-christian tradition!

it's a female... only reason feggits think it's not is because of that horrible censorship some of the console versions did IE final fight on the snes. Its a female and alway has been a female no matter how much people pretend it's not

yeah, minus whatever trend happened to be at the time (e.g. big hair) everything looked natural until it started faltering around about 2000. It's *probably* a cosmetics technology singularity thing, like when all movies got post processing filters bloom and auto color correction.

I never said it does. What I did say is that you can call yourself whatever you like. The whole argument is about gender which is not the same thing. Either learn to read or do us a favour, sweetie and shut the fuck up.

It's called Baraduke and came out a year before Metroid in the arcades.

>>514836
Your ISO is fine, just enable Perfect Sync in Kega

>>513227
I know because ultimately only the superior Japanese version counts and there it's a woman, unlike in the US version where they made the character a tranny because chivalry wasn't completely dead at that time and hitting a woman just wouldn't be right. Beating up on trans scum on the other hand is fine.

>>514872
Actually, I think the difference between regions is that in the west she's a tranny but in Japan she's a futa: Born with a dick but female otherwise.

>>512413
Playing pretend and expecting everybody to play along is what 2 year old do.

>Originally conceived as a female thug in Final Fight and part of the game's antagonist group, Mad Gear, concerns during the game's development about reactions from North American audiences to fighting women, resulted in the character being redesigned as a newhalf. When further concerns were brought up by a playtester for the Super Nintendo's North American localization, Akira Yasuda pointed out that the characters were actually transvestites.

And this has remained with the character ever since.
America = Trannie
Japan = Futa

I did not you spiteful cunt.

You also seem to have some trouble with you reading comprehension there. The original is a female. The game was in the arcades long before there was a home version.

>This mad over having fapped to a futa

>Street Fighter IV's producer Yoshinori Ono, when asked in an interview about the matter, stated "Let's set the record straight: In North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual. But in Japan, she simply tucks her business away to look female.

>>508156
Probably because women are expected to look very safe and clean nowadays. 80's-90's fashion had more fun.

>>514908
>Demand
Where the fuck are you from? Are the people there aggressively stubborn to the point of violence? Nobody demands anything, babe. If anything a person going through the kind of shit these transexuals do, having to put up with the abuse, they really couldn't care what Joe public thinks. Friends and family, those with actual respect, understanding and love for the person in question matter. Not some random cunt on the street.

I like Asellus from SaGa Frontier. Gets ran over then is out cold for many years and escapes the charm lords castle and village. Then guards of the charm lord periodically intercept you on your adventure until you make your way back to the charm lord and kill him.

Also once be became a half mystic the women can't get enough of her since got some of the charm lord's blood in her.

For female heroines I really liked, these two ladies.

>>507126

All the female characters you picked was pastiche anime beauty queen waifus, with little to no real personality or game gimmicks that made them memorable, other than tits.
I guess I'll have to be the one that brings some fucking class here:
Dixie Kong for looking cool as fuck.
Gruntilda, for being an obsessive rhymer worse than DooM
Kaede in Onimusha, for being a an important supporting character.
Kazoiee, for being a total bitch.

>>516321

Makes me want to fap more, but doesn't make much sense in context of the game.

>>507130
>implying only ttgl exists as a decent entry level anime

He just doesn't lurk enough, and comparing the best from 40 combined years of anime to every single series coming out now is pretty retarded.
Just like in the 90' we got both Castlevania and Shaq Fu, but you wouldn't say the 90' are only composed of Shaq Fu or sport titles wouldn't you?

Anyway, to stay thread-related I'd have to break /vr/ rules because there aren't female characters from ye old times I really remember fondly.

You're kidding, right? Definitely a chick. Hence Sophitia inheriting her outfit in SC2.

>>516993

No, that bit is believable. Using it in combat isn't. Although functionally speaking I don't see why she couldn't get in there naked. What about the one-piece she wore in Super Metroid?

>>517204
Nope, if you are male you are born with a male brain. Your mind deciding you'd rather be a female doesn't change your body.

>>516256
>implying people with PhDs in gender studies aren't nutjobs

Nigger please. There's so called "experts" with PhD on all kinds of shit. Having a PhD doesn't exempt you from being a nutjob.

>>515701
You realize in Metroid 2 and Super Metroid Samus was basically in bra and panties? If anything the zero suit is more tame. It's just unfortunate that the zero suit plays such a big role these days.

Just made this. Not technically for /vr/, but it works pretty well there too. I didn't even notice how much red was in it until someone pointed it out to me.

In order (By row): Element Doll Extra A/Shuri (Dodonpachi), Madonna firestorm: Ruby (Giga Wing), Sonia: Girl from the open ocean, (Dragon Blaze), Fairy (Raiden), Red (Gunstar Heroes), Code Name: Red Eye (Metal Slug), Edie Burret (Elevator Action), M-98s (Gaia Crusaders), Eclair (Armored Core).

>>521040
Yeah, right, a genetic male is automatically born with a manbrain.

Of course mental conditions don't change the body, that's why suicide, dissociation and so on were invented.

>>>/lgbt/
Sarcasticans pls go

>>521123
No one said anything about gender studies.

So sexologists are nutjobs?

>>518775

you mean the two-piece?

I mean yeah I agree using the zero suit in combat is just fan service, but I like it better than the black bikini or red bikini she wore in earlier games, it should just be restricted to good ending cutscenes like it was in the prime games (well and Metroid Prime 3 shows her in it in a beginning of the game cutscene).

Putting it in cutscenes is acceptable, believable fan service (the best ending was always the most revealing look at Samus in all the games, in Metroid Prime's case it was just her face).

I using it in combat in zero mission and other M was pretty silly.

But until Other M came out and voice acting did an amazing job at character assassination, I liked the idea that Samus was both strong and sexy at the same time.

>>521421

but I mean I also have to say, the zero suit makes a more believable flight suit than always being in power armor or the bikini undergarments.

>>521424

I wouldn't have as big a problem with the Zero suit if it didn't have two entirely separate containers for each of her breasts, which just seems silly.

>>521280
I always thought Red was a dude.

Bump.

>>523565
He is, that guy is full of it.

>>523096

what are you talking about?

Pic related and vid related (in the prime series Samus had smaller breasts, A to B-cups, and so they don't press together and form cleavage)

are you talking about fanart?

Red in Super is a girl. Bear in mind Super has totally different characters than the original.

>>525349

I was gonna post this, but then you did.

>>525334

>>525349
I thought Red in Super was a dude, but I played that such a long time ago I don't remember a lot.

>>525358

>brawl

well, I showed you 2 versions where the zero suit DOESN'T do that (and Prime 2 as well, her breasts aren't together because they're smaller)

so.. at least most of the depictions don't have that problem

>>525334
>(in the prime series Samus had smaller breasts, A to B-cups, and so they don't press together and form cleavage)

You mean Super Metroid?

>>525450

watch the video, she had B cups at most in Prime series.

Brawl, Zero Mission, and most noticably Other M she had larger breasts. C cups in Brawl and Zero Mission and D cups in Other M.

>>525476
The Chozo have a extra-species commutable retro-virus capable of increasing the size of breasts in mammalia. However, the same effect happens in both sexes.

>>525476
And yet, noticeably, after Prime 1 we have her more out of the suit than in it, regardless of cup size.

>captcha

>>525476
You forgot her e cups from the first game

>>525501

>extreme exaggerations

is this a ruse? cause I remember 2 instances of seeing the zero suit in Prime 3, and 1 in Prime 2. Even Other M had her in her power suit most of the game, and that had more Zero suit than the entire rest of the series combined.

Personally I didn't like the heels, and her height being so short in Other M. Otherwise I liked the model, though would have liked a smaller breasted Samus like Prime series just as well, maybe more.

Some of you hipsters just try to nitpick every other little thing to dislike the zero suit.

It's fine, Samus has always been the pinup type and the reward for best endings has almost always been (prime 1 being the exception) a good leer at Samus's body.without the suit.

>>525549
>Samus has always been the pinup type

Don't start that fight, yo. I'll have to take you out back and verbally berate you.

>>525549
Endings.
Endings.

Not gameplay.

That's like saying since Sports Illustrated has a swimsuit issue every year, the entire catalog has always been a source of fapbait. It's simply wrong.

>>525640

That's... that's actually a really good analogy.

>>525619

>>525534
>>525549

>not pixelated pinup girls

quit basing your perception of Samus on a Nintendo Power "infographic"

>>525640

A better analogy would be the Sun tabloid, which always has a model on page 3.

This isn't a one time in the entire circulation of the magazine, this is once an issue.

>>525679

For starters, look at the abs on Super over there.

Second, this accounts for less than 1% of the time you see Samus.

>>525703

SI releases the swimsuit issue once a year, it's regular, but totally separate from the rest of the mag.

>>525679
Quit basing yours on not playing the game.

2-3 hours of intense gameplay is not exactly the most efficient course of seeing a woman in a bikini.

>>525713

and it's still a part of every single metroid game aside from Prime.

You can always tell a person who complained about Samus being sexualized either sucked at speedrunning, or started the series with Prime.

She probably has abs under the Zero suit, we don't know because we don't see underneath the suit.

>>525726

I have played all of the games, and gotten the best speedrun endings and gotten 100% collection in all of them. I play them for the gameplay, I just see 0 problem with Samus being sexy on top of it.

>>525334

Oh yeah, I forgot the pic..

>>521421

Kobatashi Ai played her in Japanese. I wonder if she was better. She's usually excellent. See Appleseed/Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door for evidence. I thought she would be perfect for Samus.

But then what happened happened...
