Taki's Replacement Revealed?!

Such a disappointment,such a character can never replace Taki.
I guess there is still a chance that Taki might not get replaced,the characters of SCV are trash so far..
 
People are seriously hating on her because she's blonde and has what could be loosely interpreted as a smile. Must be a outcast-in-highschool-white guy thing. I swear I should've gotten even more fucked up tonight before I came here.
 
taki was a serious type maybe they just think there should be someone with a more outgoing energetic attitude. they probably got tired of the whole demon begone thing. plus she is a teenager probably so she will be somewhat immature which makes sense because of the feminine but somewhat childish twist on her clothing. i like her. she could also be one of those "i enjoy what i do" or "appearance is decieving" type of people. when we see her fight we will know.

Dude, what are you talking about? Are you saying it's a dumb design? Your line about sexism doesn't really connect. Are you saying she looks dumb as in mentally? Pretty sure that would make you the one generalizing dude.

i'm referring to the fact that in japanese (popular) culture, women (and girls especially) are often portraited as being the naive, dumb (+blonde) pink poodle that this new fella embodies quite accurately (at least visually). taki was pretty much the opposite of that and men usually aren't portrayed that way at all. i honestly can't think of any such male character in a fighting game right now...

i've lived through such a transformation in several game franchises. take ling xiaoyu from tekken 3 versus ling xiaoyu from tekken 5 or 6. they just aren't comparable personality-wise for the later ling is much more naive and "cutesy" as some like to put it here.

and btw: as you can obviously infer from my posts, i'm not very fond of that kind of concept.
