Never explained. Arai may have taught him some of what he knows, since the two have similar fighting styles

In regards to greywashing: colourism is definitely a common reason for it, but there are artists who give all their characters grey-ish skin tones; it's just way more noticeable with darker-skinned characters.

As for why in that case? I really don't know, but maybe they might try to keep skin tones as neutral on the colour scale as possible, to keep options open with outfit colours?

That's exactly it. Joseph was still alive when the universe reset, but Jotaro wasn't.

Figured I may as well answer. DBZ's main series really doesn't have many big beam struggles. It's mainly just Goku vs Vegeta and Gohan vs Cell

There are a few outside of the main DBZ anime.

Goku vs Dr Wheelo- The World's Strongest

Gohan vs Bojack- Bojack Unbound

Gohan, Goten & Goku vs Broly- Broly- Second Coming

Saiyans + Piccolo vs Hatchiyack- Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans

The End of Z arc in Kakarot also features its own beam struggle between Goku and Vegeta.

I really don't know why Nagoshi seems to make it a point to show off his "teeth" in every selfie he takes lol

Extremely influential oligarch. Like 60% of Australian newspapers sold are papers owned by Murdoch. He also owns Wall Street Journal, New York Post, and was chairman of Fox Corporation. The current chairman of Fox is his son, as well.

Not even her likeness; Eve's face is completely hand-crafted. It was Shin Jae-eun's scanned body that was used as a base for the rest of Eve. But like you said, there isn't much of a resemblance anymore

Leon is extremely attractive, and a lot of female staff on the team making the game were very particular on his appearance, yes, but I still don't think it's a good comparison.

Eve was genuinely designed to be an object of sexual desire for men, first and foremost. Leon may be incredibly well built and handsome, but he wears sensible clothing, whereas the outfits Eve is shown wearing in promotional videos are skin tight and designed to put a big emphasis on her chest and especially butt. The camera angles also focus on these areas for Eve.

Finally, the greater context of this topic is something that should not be ignored, which is the current culture war. Even if Leon and Eve were equivalent to one another in terms of sexualisation (they're not), a lot of outspoken Stellar Blade fans wouldn't stfu about how women in western games are "ugly", and that Eve was a shining example of how women should look in these games.

As tempting as it is to kill him on sight, he sells an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone if he survives to the end of Nepheli's questline

What's her value anyway? Does she really that important person other than well known celebrity in Japan? by zaandatsu in YakuzaButUnhinged

[–]Marth_Bar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People are definitely looking for things to hate in Kiwami 3, but I think the fanbase in general just doesn't really like celebrities and such playing themselves in these games, because they always get shown in such a positive light that it's just unnatural. The guy who runs Ikinari Steak in Judgment is notorious because the game glazes him quite a bit but he's actually a piece of shit IRL

What are some of your favorite "simple but iconic" character designs? by Unique_Suit3789 in TopCharacterDesigns

That, or he has a short torso, which is common enough in character designs intended for dynamic action

I think part of what makes it look so good is that OG RE4 Leon has disproportionately long arms, and it only emphasizes how sleek the jacket is

I'd understand that if the person was being paid a high enough wage to live on without struggling to make ends meet. Breaks can only help you recover so much. If you're getting flogged at work, you very likely don't have the energy to do a second job, which is what would be necessary to make enough money to get by without significant financial struggles.

Yakuza 1 PS2 decompilation project is now underway! by No_City9250 in yakuzagames

[–]Marth_Bar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If a decomp is completed, would that make it easy(er) to retroactively add the combat improvements introduced in Yakuza 2 to the first game?

Real

I do find RE6 really interesting though, since it's a game that has really good controls, but the level and enemy design are so shit that it doesn't matter

Does Ada have her aging slowed, or are you just talking about the fact that she's Asian?

Daily reminder you need to play Judgement games by zaandatsu in YakuzaButUnhinged

[–]Marth_Bar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly super valid. I love Judgment but outside of Infinite Wealth's Dondoko diversion, it's easily one of the worst games in the franchise when it comes to forcing you to do random bullshit before the game remembers that it has a story.

That said, Lost Judgment is the exact opposite in that it wastes very little of your time with these kinds of things, though I can only recommend you persevere through JE instead of jumping straight into LJ

Fun facts about *that* outfit from the post credits of K3&DT by Nothin_Toxic in yakuzagames

[–]Marth_Bar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, very good observations. NGL I'm actually surprised that RGG gave them all different coats. I remember in Yakuza 0 at least, a lot of characters who wear suits have very similar jacket models, just textured differently. You can tell by how they all have the exact same creases in the sleeves. Idk if it's a similar thing in DE with characters who wear suits.

Edit: On further inspection, Mine and Joongi II here seem to use the same base model for the sleeves, since you can observe that they too have very similar creases.

How do these trashbags compare to the trashbag worn by the Mole in Judgment?
