/vr/ - Retro Games

because americans aren't panty-sniffing perverts

>>6446654
well what did you expect her to wear, a burger?

>>6446660
a better solution is avoid the problem by not showing that area. oh wait, they did that.

>>6446675
What's wrong about that area?

It's okay.
Pantyhose is my fetish.

This sorta looks like the hitbox should be different. J side is an air to air while USA side looks more like an air to ground.

>>6446684
nice diversion. what's wrong with showing an upskirt in a video game is a better question

Think about it.

>>6446694
>what's wrong with showing an upskirt in a video game is a better question
And the answer is, nothing.

They probably feared getting sued by conservatives. The 90s were like modern day but inverted, right-wing people wanted to ban video games and censor them, now it's left-wing.
Still, a pussy move from SoA, no pun intended.

>>6446695
Bernie Stolar was working either for Atari or Sony when SoR2 was released.

>>6446703
Also this. It was both sides though, but more so on the right.
And even now you have rightfags blaming vidya for violence.
I'm 100% pro-gun myself, so hearing some other inanimate shit blamed for sociopathy doesn't sit well with me.
It's not guns, games, music, "fascism", "incels", etc. It's a bullshit society with a media that lives to rustle jimmies for advertising dollars.

>>6446718
Was he? Looked up his wiki page. For someone so important to gaming, he has a shocking lack of information available.

>>6446719
>It's not guns
That's more of an effect than a cause, but let's not get into that.
Retro games were censored all the time, this seems rather tame in terms of it. They removed religious references and sometimes even entire games back in the day.

>>6446654
>>6446675
NOOOO NOT MY PURE MIND. JESUS HELP MEEEE

>>6446721
>Looked up his wiki page. For someone so important to gaming, he has a shocking lack of information available.
I was thinking the same thing. I know he was involved with the Playstation early on before moving onto Sega.

It's better the "censored" version. The original is too distracting and looks very cheesy being so obvious the perv pandering.

>>6446631
I think right looks more intense.

Also, Americans play video games in their living rooms in front of family and friends, not in their loner closet while dad sleeps at work for 12 hours before going to bars for five more hours.

>>6446703
>the 90s...right-wing people wanted to ban video games and censor them

this is wrong. . . you need to read up some about what happened in 93~94

>>6446785
I was alive and those democrats were pretty right wing, even for democrats.

>>6446703
>>6446790
The left wingers back then were mostly anarchists. Now we have anarchist right wing libertarians in red MIGA hats instead.

>>6446631
it gets even worse than that. If you open up the sprite in photoshop and erase the panties, in the Japanese version her pussy lips go from left to right, while in the US version they go from front to back

>>6446694
Why are you a fag?

>>6446694

what's the point? it doesn't add to gameplay and just attracts waifu-faggotry, plus it makes it less suitable for kids

>>6446848

Doesn't detract from it either

Considering Genesis was targeted to kids on the threshold of puberty, shut your faggot ass up.

>>6446728
>he wrote chuckling to himself, hunched over the grimy keyboard inside his dark, single room apartment

I really like panty shots personally.

>>6446631
Left is too forced. Valkyria Chronicles does it right.

>>6446891
What do you mean? What is the difference?

>>6446631
Right looks better. It's still an upskirt, which makes sense for fighting in a miniskirt, but a much less ridiculous one than int he original script. Censorship would be putting pants on her for no reason. This is a straight-up improvement in every way.

>>6446869
>Considering Genesis was targeted to kids on the threshold of puberty, shut your faggot ass up.
Also not suitable for those kids, pre-teens and young teens.

>Doesn't detract from it either
Of course it does, go look at /v/ and see how much garbage tits/ass/waifu topics overshadow actual gameplay topics

left actually looks really stupid

>>6446926
Well, it looks like the developers are trying too hard to appeal to coomers, but it's just a few pixels, and looks trashy.

What the freak, Game Fuck

>>6446858
Right one is an actual attack pose, left is Blaze in a awkward posture so to show better her panties.

This thread raises a question: is censorship still bad if it improves the thing in question?

>>6446931
It breaks my heart that pantsu shots became politized

>>6446960
politicized how? it was just a bad design choice on part of the japs. lots of overseas revisions improve on jap mistakes

>>6446972
This, i don't see how feminism politics is a problem and why their ideology is seen as political at all, and who even has a problem with an ideology that is forced? I don't have any problems with it! And to be honest, i don't care about the legacy of any developer if my rights get hurt! anyhow, i still wouldn't play this game.

>>6446972
Sega of American went on record to say that Axel's white shirt in Bare Knuckle 3 was sexist and they had to change it. I'm not joking.

>>6447000
whooooooooo caaaaaaaaaaaaaares, i don't see the problem! Feminism is good and we need to support it!

>>6446951
I believe the left shot looks weird even in the japanese release. It looks out of context in a gritty and somehow "serious" game like this to have such obvious sex pandering. SOR3 censorship was stupid but there's instances where it improves some games.

>>6447003
Somehow serious game like that part when a kid in roller skate beats the xenomorph from alien in an amusement park

>>6446932
I will never not love learning about green hitmonchan aka doduo taking a shit.

>>6446631
How many of you virgins ever even been with a woman wearing pantyhose. Yeah if your already all up in her grill you can see through them, but left look like she's pulling a superman with underwear over the tights.

Also having the right was still enough to make me pause the game and lewd her as kid.

>>6447031
Its a real shame women dont wear pantyhose and heels together anymore

>>6446872
That seems more in line with how I see people like you.

>>6447031
>>6447183
This

>>6446631
Upskirts have soul.

SoA went off the deep end quickly after experiencing success. The sheer arrogance they had to fuck up Streets of Rage 3 is mind-blowing, especially considering their entire marketing campaign centred on ripping into Nintendo for censorship.

>>6447001
There is absolutely no way this nigra ain't trollin'.

>>6447241
>SoA went off the deep end quickly after experiencing success. The sheer arrogance they had to fuck up Streets of Rage 3 is mind-blowing, especially considering their entire marketing campaign centred on ripping into Nintendo for censorship.
I think you'll find Sega was intimately familiar with incompetence, American or Jap branch. Upper management at that company was a perpetual circus of spastic kneejerk reactions and half-baked ideas.

>>6446631
The pose on the right is better in every other way, so losing the panty shot is a small price to pay.

>>6447273

>>6446916
Are you one of those people who think that seeing a body in a state of undress harms kids?

>>6447031
Everyone is a grown man here except OP. He's a stray virgin from another board.

>>6446703
Sued for what? There's this thing called the "first amendment" and any judge would say "If you don't like the content you are free to not purchase it".

>>6447305
>are you a person with morals and beliefs?
Yes

>>6447320
Yeah which is why nations with communal bathing and saunas along with various tribes are full of thoroughly traumatized children and American kids are mentally sound.

>>6446703
>>6447307
Not sued, but there would be moral outrage (does it sound familiar?) and the government would impose content rating because "my 10 year old son Zoomy is playing games with FEMALE UNDERWEAR easily visible". It happened anyway after Sub-Zero started ripping out spines.

>>6447330
Government can't do that though, again, first amendment.

>>6446631
An actual improvement at last

>>6447285
Yes, what a simpleton I must be to form my own opinion instead of being blindly outraged. The left pose looks fucking awkward and not like an effective attack, its ONLY redeeming quality is showing off panties. The right pose actually looks like an effective attack pose and is better in every way except for hiding the panties. I'd rather have the better looking attack pose, though, since I'm not 10 years old and can go look up porn any time.

>>6446631
Japan No 1

>>6447335
For now. One world government is closer than ever.

didnt stop me pausing blazes jump kicks whenever my parents were out

>>6447339
Nigger you blind. Left is actually landing a kick by aiming an outstretched leg high at an opponent. Right looks like a fucking dance move with the legs pointing downwards.

>>6447345

no it isnt, put down the alex jones

>>6447325
>muh consequentialism

>tribes

>>6447335
But they somehow led to the creation of ESRB (and other regions followed suit).

>>6447339
>>6447351
Without looking, I'm gonna bet that if the male characters wore kilts, their jump kick animations would let you see up them. Blaze's outfit is made for street walking, not street fighting. The real question is how their aren't any upskirts in those Sailor Moon belt scrollers.

>>6447354
>First amendment protects the Ku Klux Klan but not videogames
This is your brain on United States rather than America

>>6447353

schizo detected

>>6446932
Oh man, spent way more time looking at that then I expected. Red and blue is better without a doubt. Some off the green ones have soul, but they look like an art student who is still practicing dynamic posing and depth. So many look so flat and static. Almost like rough drafts or proof of concepts. And the faces, dear lord the faced, all those goofy ass slack jawed grins lol.
I like how snorlax is posing like a fat, lazy slut in both versions though.
>>6447013
Took me a minute to see it but yeah it totally is lol

>>6447357
>question is how their aren't any upskirts in those Sailor Moon belt scrollers.
Because the game is tasteful. But Sailor Mercury does have a panty shot, unfortunately for her.

>>6446654
and that's why I don't buy american games

Is it just me, or have we already had this exact same thread a little less than a month ago? Getting serious deja vu. Like, Star Trek- TNG levels of it.

>>6447357
As others have mentioned, it makes no sense for her panties to be visible with her nylons on. She'd have to be wearing them on the outside, which is retarded.

>>6447352
lol

>>6447363
The ESRB is not a violation of first amendment rights. It's not even legally required or run by the government, it's just agreed upon by the industry and retailers.

We had this thread a while ago and someone posted a mashup of Blaze with Japanese legs and Western upper body. Anyone have it on hand?

>>6447436
>We had this thread a while ago and someone posted a mashup of Blaze with Japanese legs and Western upper body. Anyone have it on hand?
So I'm not going absolutely bugfuck? We've already had this thread, complete with identical OP and half the replies? Because I really wasn't kidding when I said it felt like I was in a TNG episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cause_and_Effect_%28Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation%29

>>6447417
You sound like a hipster.

>>6447414
It's a leotard

>>6446631
It's yet another bait thread, but fuck it, I'll give a (you) just for shits n' giggles.
This, and things like it got censored back then because back then video games, at least in the western world (can't speak for nipland) were still very much KIDS TOYS. So you wouldn't allow a panty shot in a video game (kid's toy) for the same reason you wouldn't allow a panty shot in a kid's TV show or movie; It's adult content unsuitable for the young'ins. Let's say I actually managed to reproduce, and was sitting with my kid one morning watching KIDS tv. If I saw panty shots, I'd be pissed, lil' anon jr. doesn't need to see that shit.
>but muh japanese didn't see a problem with this stuff
The japs, like the rest of asia, are fucking bugmen, they're sick fucks. The western world shouldn't lower itself to their standards just because you're a geek.

Again, back then is NOT like today: Today, it's adults that are playing most of the vidya, watching most of the cartoons, and buying most of the toys. We have several hundred dollar lego sets, unending waves of funkos and star wars merch, mini consoles that would only appeal to adult's nostalgia, comics with more adult politics in them then an actual fucking senate meeting, and kids' cartoons about pastel-colored horses with absolutely rabid adult followers, so seeing a bit of pixels arranged like panties is nothing now, but back when video games were 100% _children's toys_ this shit wouldn't fly.

>>6446631

>>6447548
>titty bad, gore and killing good

>>6447031
>>6447306
Hi, virgins. :^)
Also, I think Blaze isn't actually wearing pantyhose, it's just stockings. You can even see that on the censored version. Try being with a real woman some time.

>>6447569
For better or worse, yes. That's America. It was founded by militant Puritans.

>>6447550
Left

>>6447582
Look how the virgin squirms when called out.

>real woman
It's okay that you like cheap whores

>>6447550
In terms of spritework, both look alright, but I still prefer the japanese one. Better defined legs and pose, it's not just the panty.
Left looks like she's actually doing a flying kick, right doesn't even look like she's kicking, you could place that sprite on a bed and it'd look like she's just lying there.

>>6446631
The pose in the left sprite is forced as fuck. Imagine wanting to get off on a sprite of a girl more concerned with spreading her pussy than trying to pose for a kick that won't her land on her fucking knee.

>>6446932
Green Venusaur is one of my all time favourite sprites. Flat fucking fuck.

>>6447607
He's right though, she's wearing stockings.

>>6447616

Blaze looks completely different on the western cover as well, and isn't even wearing a skirt.

>gore and killing
Step right up kids, I'm handing out free (you)s. "Gore and killing" also was NOT suitable for young viewers BITD, which is why it also WAS NOT IN CHILDREN'S MEDIA.
Anything with a "G" rating would NOT have gore or death in it.
Anything with a "PG" rating might have some "clean" death in it (depict a person dying, but no graphic details like blood or anything, so no "gore") but that's it. That's also how SoR was; Showed fisticuffs, never said anyone died, they just flashed and disappeared. Parents could easily brush it off as "they're not dead, they're unconscious".
"PG13" is NOT for small children so it's a moot point, but while it would have plenty of bloodshed, that's about it, no entrails or guts or anything.
Anything "R" rated sure as fuck wasn't meant for kids.
"X" rated, well, take a guess retard.
Yes, "gore" technically means bloodshed, but modern vernacular has gore as guts and entrails and flesh and so on.
>b-but what about other games?!? What about splatterhouse or MK?!?
Games like those are exactly why we developed the ESRB in the first place, you mong; To give parents (the few that gave a damn) a way of knowing what was suitable for their 7 year old. It was a developing system back then.

I would say nice try, but it really wasn't. You're just pissed that your autism prevents you from understanding how actual people function. It's a shame your parents didn't care about you enough to limit what you were exposed to as a child.

How do women dress nowadays?

>>6446631
I think the right looks better, but I don't think they were right in changing it.
I can't stand when things are changed between regions of games. It really makes the fact that games are products first and foremost overpowering, which is disillusioning when you just want to enjoy the media the creator(s) intended. The same goes for cultural references. I would rather be momentarily confused by a joke or reference that doesn't translate well and learn something about another culture than have things replaced with hamburgers. I acknowledge that wasn't an easy stance to take before the ease of modern search engines, however.

>>6447837
This x2

>>6446631
Right looks better because there is more power behind the kick. The way she's got her arm up show's she's putting everything into it, vs the right where the arm is just limply hanging at her side like she doesn't care.

Quality contribution

Right is actually sexier because it leaves something to the imagination. Dumbfuck coomers ruin everything and want to be spoonfed porn all the time, but games don't need panty sniffing jap retardation to appeal to the West. Useless garbage. Get a life you ugly out of shape manlets.

>>6449115
>it leaves something to the imagination

You.. you do understand that panties aren't actually sexual right? they're there to prevent you from seeing her vagina.
so saying "leaves something to the imagination" makes no sense.
that's like an arab saying "aah yes, this burka leaves something to the imagination, because under the burka she's wearing that red leather dress."

This. We're already being groomed for it with the media adopting the phrase "a new normal" and several influential people making statements like "there needs to be a coordinated worldwide effort to tackle the coronavirus". Beyond that, never forget the David Rockefeller quote about a New World Order(his exact words) and how all it would take is one good crisis to get people to accept it.

I fucking hate every normie mask wearing retard so much. The type of fags to call the covid cops on you because they heard you coughing. We live in the fucking soviet union now and I'm angered by how easily people accepted it. Fucking idiots man makes me reeeee so hard. Naive people actually think politicians and people in authority are magic omnipotent beings a former friend of mine was one of those idiots. Where I live one of the dumbest people I know was elected to office and he thought she was smarter than me just cause she got elected, when really she won cause she ran at the right time during a protest vote and lost her position next term. Still pissed me off he thought she was a fucking genius that knows more about society just because a bunch of other dumbasses voted for her. Thanks for reading my blog faggots

I've coughed into my shoulder for years since SARS which covid is related. You dont need to wear a mask you dont need to install stupid plastic shields that's all just crap lobbyist marketers try to sell the state like putting fucking metal detectors everywhere. I'm not worried about this sickness in the slightest and the politicians and media have been lying their faces off this whole time.
First masks arent effective and dont work but now everybody needs one, at first closing the borders wouldn't be effective at slowing the spread (yes it would another lie) then they close borders a good few weeks after it's all spread.

There is a hidden agenda here this isnt just some sickness it's being blown way put of proportion to give the state more power. They dont get to take away our freedoms to save a couple bucks on their budget which they gladly waste money on their special interest groups funding useless research projects like boner pills for ants or some other useless shit that some academic that gets paid from them will convince you is necessary for science and if you dont agree you're an anti science neanderthal

I never understood this logic why restrict what users want to talk about in the confines of an individual thread? I mean if the discussion goes off topic on a tangent what's the big fucking deal? As long as threads are somewhat on topic posts will generally be on topic. Not every thread goes off topic either and it doesnt encourage anyone else to (that's a fucking fallacy right there) but it does make this place suck when you cant even discuss things related to OP and have to keep discussion at a "I like zelda" level it's just very superficial and very reddit

Don't you think that's weird, though, Anon? Okay, so topics re-appear frequently, maybe even several times a month....But the *exact* same OPs? Littered with what you'd swear are half the *exact* same posts? i dunno, anon, that sounds like 'bot activity to me.

Censorship in the US is a corporate level decision, not something enforced by the state. If the publisher sees nothing wrong with it, then nothing will get censored. There's nothing stopping game companies from showing a fully exposed vagina in a kid's game, but finding a publisher who would want to distribute that game would be insanely hard.

>>6449580

Capcom are generally based in retro times, but there were also times they chickened out about getting sued by american psychos.

"Waifu" in the context you're thinking off is an 4chan American coinage and meme. In Japan, infatuation with a cartoon girl is called a "mental illness".

How sad. Every bit of that was incredibly disheartening to read.

>>6449563
It's exercise and sportswear, it's easy to view as innocuous and that she's just wearing her gym clothes underneath her uniform.
What isn't as innocuous is Karin already wearing spats but still having bloomers/panties above them just to outline her asscheeks.

>>6449767
>What isn't as innocuous is Karin already wearing spats but still having bloomers/panties above them just to outline her asscheeks.
Isn't that just a leotard she's got underneath inspired by 80's-90's aerobics fashion? Maybe Karin's an avid jazzerciser?

>>6448161
Dark pantyhose are also pretty common in Japan.

>>6449563
First of all, GENIUS, she's not old enough to get censored. How many times do I need to explain this?

>>6449893
Would you take your faggoty puritan larp somewhere else? No one cares that pixelated pantsu is going to make your dick explode.

What kind of excuse is that? You think someone's gonna get some lolicon game with half naked little anime girls bent over with their hips in your face and go "yeah this is fine even if they was getting fucked by a ten foot dick we can't do anything about it"?
And don't tell me schoolgirl fetishists don't exist and their blood isn't gonna flood into their dicks and kill them when they see Sakura's and Karin's shapely legs clashing against each other and they just and their wavy skirts flutter in the air to reveal they round rumps, the outline of their full teenage school girl asses right in front of the center of the screen, for your viewing pleasure.
They didn't have to make them like this. Karin's first appearance was in manga where the author obviously wanted to fuck Sakura, or was at least turned on by her.

>>6449937
lol, there are plenty of game sprites that wear less clothes than that pic.

>>6448137
Right would have less power. Throwing her arm up like that is sending energy in the opposite direction of her kick. Left is a kick she's put her hip into and thus has more power.

>>6446725

Wait, then why would they have removed religious references?

Oh please, as if Japan is any better. They literally banned a Simpsons episode because Homer throws the emperor into a bin of used sumo thongs.

>>6447548
>This, and things like it got censored back then because back then video games, at least in the western world (can't speak for nipland) were still very much KIDS TOYS. So you wouldn't allow a panty shot in a video game (kid's toy) for the same reason you wouldn't allow a panty shot in a kid's TV show or movie; It's adult content unsuitable for

Heaven forbid that your son might see a panty shot and (gasp) become interested in women.

>>6447548
>consoles that would only appeal to adult's nostalgia, comics with more adult politics in them then an actual fucking senate meeting, and kids' cartoons about pastel-colored horses with absolutely rabid adult followers, so seeing a bit of pixels arranged like panties is nothing now, but back when video games were 100% _children's toys_ this shit wouldn't fly.
During the Atari era vidya wasn't explicitly aimed at kids, bars and pool halls had arcade cabs in them and there were those adult game devs like Mystique. What you're talking about is more Nintendo's doing since they had a very strong stance about family-friendly gaming.

>>6449978
idk who the Simpsons ever got on Japanese TV in the first place with the amount of burger culture knowledge needed to get it. Other than westaboos that watch Looney Tunes and read superhero comics. Kind of like how Urusei Yatsura would have went over here with the average normie.

>>6449978
Want me to list all the censorships USA did to anime series?

>>6449991
Simpsons isn't popular in Japan, IIRC; most people know Simpsons because a donut company used Homer for an ad campaign, so most people in japan will go "oh, it's the guy from the donuts ads", and have no idea about the TV series.
That said, Simpsons is very popular in other countries, like Argentina (probably the biggest Simpson fanbase), so I dunno if it's really that necessary to be a burger to enjoy it.

>>6449952
Would you shut the fuck up nigger?

>>6449995
Maybe you can argue there was a justifiable reason to edit out those Sailor Moon shower scenes, but did they have to redub every reference to Japanese food into cheeseburgers and pizza in anime dubs? Was your kid going to turn into a rapist/serial killer because he saw a mochi in an anime?

>>6449989
Nintendo was like that in Japan as well, they had a family-friendly image and refused to license adult games (all those were made by Hacker International and other unlicensed devs).

It happened to comics in the 1950's. The government can't do anything(actually, they can, if they and the public don't give a shit enough about you), but they and the people against you can push and threaten you to censor yourself ad use the market against you. When crime and horror comics were the rage in the 50's, moms everywhere were afraid they were gonna turn their kids into psychos, people held book burnings, they went all the way to the supreme, and the Comics Code Authority was formed where publishers would censor themselves, and some places wouldn't carry comics without it.

>>6450018
The CCA was a scam created by DC to hold down their competition. It was largely based on DC's own internal content code at the time and they often had edgy stuff in their comics that should have been banned by the CCA because they controlled it. The main effect the CCA had in the long run was more that it created a monoculture of superhero comics that we're still stuck with today.

>>6450006
That's a good question.
Will I?

>>6450013
To be fair, I think the only mainstream console to get actual adult games was the Sega Saturn, wasn't it?
Nintendo still had some, let's say, not very family-friendly games developed and published by themselves, like the Famicom detective club games. Not 18+ but definitely not for kids.

>>6448161
I think you would like D2.

>>6449991
>>6450000
Simpsons isn't huge in Japan, but it has aired there and it does have a cult following, enough they people were mad when some of the voice actors in the dub were changed.
Also like the other guy said, it's huge in South America, especially Argentina, I don't really think a lot of burger shit is gonna go over people's head, especially since a lot of it is probably American TV and movie shit that's already been translated.

Some stuff like removing religious references in Nintendo games was because the Japanese were really unsure of what might offend Westerners and they didn't want to take any chances.

>>6450007
>but did they have to redub every reference to Japanese food into cheeseburgers and pizza in anime dubs?
That was primarily a 4kids thing
>Was your kid going to turn into a rapist/serial killer because he saw a mochi in an anime?
That was done mainly as a means to fool kids into thinking they weren't watching a foreign cartoon, also as a means for Jap phobic parents not to think they were watching cartoons made by zipperheads because pearl harbor, two bombs weren't enough, etc.

By the early 2000s, no one was really fooled any more.

>>6450013
Hentai games (like the Famicom ones you mention) are boring as fuck anyway, mostly just softcore nudity. In fact Western porn games are a lot more trashy and explicit.

>>6450028
Nowadays the CCA is owned by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund which is the biggest free-speech flex of the era.

Any actual proof of them getting sued? Or is it just some schizo jap making up shit because he doesn't want to blame capcom?

>>6450327
No, this was real and happening in 1990

>>6450339
Proof?

>>6450339
>>6450353
I have yet to find an evidence that any legal proceeding or threats of it really happened. It was purely a corporate decision to change poison into a transexual.

>>6450374
Considering Poison's concept art is labeled "newhalf" in Japanese I think that we're looking at bullshit.

>>6450553
>Considering Poison's concept art is labeled "newhalf" in Japanese
That "concept art" is just a sketch that could very well have been made later. it's on an art book collection and it doesn't state any specific date, nor does it says that it's concept/pre-release work.
>>6450327
I don't think he's saying that they actually got sued, but that they heard about american feminists wanting to sue, so just in case, they did that change.
>Or is it just some schizo jap making up
That's Nishitani, one of the actual character designers of Final Fight. That twitter account is real and you can look it up right now if you want.
Also, here's the other designer of Final Fight, Akiman (also famous for Darkstalkers, etc), where he also says Poison was originally designed as a "rebellious woman", and he was looking at fashion magazines for inspiration, he also considers JP Poison to be a real woman, but US Poison to be trans, which correlates to what Nishitani said (having to change Poison for the US release of FF).
This pic is from an official artbook for Tekken vs Street Fighter.
You can choose not to believe/care about what both original designers have to say, but that's what they said, and they are the guys who designed Poison.

>>6450553
She will always be female. That's what the designer originally had in mind. They did this new half thing to avoid lengthy clashes with loudmouthed, abrasive foreigners.

>>6450553
There's like multiple conflicting explanations from people that worked from Capcom at the time.
The thing is that Capcom has just always been neurotic over any potential lawsuits.

>>6450563
You could say that Americans are more intro freaks

>>6450563
>That's Nishitani, one of the actual character designers of Final Fight. That twitter account is real and you can look it up right now if you want.
Yes I already know that but that's not an evidence. He hasn't provided any evidence that they were about to get sued if they made poison female.
>You can choose not to believe/care about what both original designers have to say
I would rather hear it from the producer, director, project lead, CEO, or anyone from the managerial position who directly had to deal with those legal cases, if there was any.

>>6450602
So you think he might be lying and that there's another secret reason for changing her sex in the US version?
Slim chances of getting word from any higher up of Capcom from the 90s, but maybe you can find them on twitter too and ask them, I dunno.
I personally think it makes sense, since complaints like that were common back then (and still are, albeit with a different angle).
Akiman didn't address any reason as to why they did the change, but he does mention that he designed Poison as a woman, and that the US Poison is the transexual one, not the original japanese, so both designers are describing a similar scenario without contradicting each other.
Whatever the reason may have been, Poison turning into trans/newhalf was something related to the US localization of FF.

>>6450047
>Some stuff like removing religious references in Nintendo games was because the Japanese were really unsure of what might offend Westerners and they didn't want to take any chances.
This. At the time, we feared Japan and the Japanese- they manufactured all our electronics and were routinely kicking our asses in matters of business and finance. Can you imagine them throwing caution to the wind, coming to America as an unabashed and freewheeling vidya company, only to be smacked down by a political coalition consisting of

1. Merchants burned by the crash.
2. The rising conservative power known as Neocons or Reaganites.
3. The Greatest Generation, who have some definite ideas about those damn dirty Japs and their place in the American world order.

Nintendo chose what they saw was the only path forward for them and their company: becoming blameless. Spotless. Borderline righteous. And it worked. But it definitely caused at least as many problems as it solved in the mid and long terms.

>>6450612
>So you think he might be lying and that there's another secret reason for changing her sex in the US version?
No, I think he truly didn't understand the situation. It's true US capcom changed poison into a "transvestite", in the representative's own word, but there's no evidence that they did it due to external push or media censorship or anything. Thats just what corporated do, playing safe to the point of absurdity because they're too afraid to offend their consumers. Why do you think american cable tv shows of the recent years allow lots of dicks in full display but have almost no female nudity, let alone vagina? Same thing with Nintendo's censorship of any religious symbol and mentions of death. This is just what american companies do, they're just so absurdly disconnected from reality.

>>6449973
A Link to the Past had stars of david and whatnot removed from temples.

The most confusing thing to me is the sor3 plot rewrite. Honestly I kind of like it more than bare knuckle 3's but I don't really get why it was removed in the first place. What was so bad about the Lima Nations plot that it needed to be removed?

>>6449973
They just wanted to be as cautious as possible. Also, some religious people are crazy and back then games with monsters were seen by some as "satanic" even if you were killing the monsters, and religious symbols in these supposedly-satanic games would be offensive to people like that. Other slightly-less-crazy people would see putting religious symbols in something like a video game as not taking those symbols seriously and be offended by that.
Basically, they just took an overly-cautious approach because video games were incredibly contentious at the time and they just didn't want to give any groups ammo for being offended or outraged.

can we REALLY look at the sprite

1) jap sprite does a perfect kick, thats how you kick people right in the face
2) American front leg is awful and the back leg is awful too, just look at the feet, the angle the behind leg does is way better
3) arms are awful in the jap version. American version shows way more action
4) facial expression in the american one is better, she looks angry while the jap one looks like a rubber doll without emotions
5) i feel like the boobs are way more defined in the american version even though when I compare them it kinda looks the same, is that because of the arm pose, an illusion or what is it?
6) I like the hair in the Jap one, it has a nice flow to it but maybe the yank hair looks better in motion / more realistic
