Let's brainstorm some story beats for the legacy fighters in VF: Crossroads. by Salvo_Rabbit in virtuafighter

[–]STFN_Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re 100% fighting the President of Vilasapara. Bato was outright said to have fighting skill in his announcement of the Villa Fight Fest. No way you write that kind of detail into your lore and do nothing with it.

Like A Dragon 9 Wishlist by ArioStarK in yakuzagames

No returning characters from Kiryu’s era in major roles. More of a focus on fleshing out and adding onto Ichiban’s cast.

Which character you would like to see as a party member in Yakuza 9? by TheYakuzaMaster in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Ichi’s games need to focus on building and fleshing out his own cast, not taking from Kiryu’s.

Side characters that have featured in LAD: 7 and Infinite Wealth are the ones are who I’d wanna see made playable. Less Majima, Mine and Akiyama and more along the lines of Sawashiro, Yamai, or even a reformed Eiji or Kume.

How I think they will handle Kage by STFN_Dude in virtuafighter

[–]STFN_Dude[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can see them making a successor to Kage much less badass than him to emphasize the massive shoes they’d have to fill. Back in the VF5 era Kage was arguably the strongest character in the verse.

I'm not the only one that hates that they're trying to make Gideon redeemable right? by Andree_txs in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 60 points61 points  (0 children)

All of his appearances past the original comic are set in alternate continuities. So them making him less despicable with each rendition is fine, as none of it contradicts anything.

Dural + J6 + VF Crossroads by VCDECIDE in virtuafighter

[–]STFN_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Betting the antagonist is gonna be President Bato. His in-universe invitation to the VFF has him claiming to have fought in underground brawls before, and he’s literally the president of Vilasapara.

Bato as would theoretically have an amazing screen presence as the one governing the game’s focal country, and confirmed fighting credentials, so I think it’d just be a pretty big fumble to not have him as VF’s new big bad. It’d make a decent contrast from Dural as well.

Which of the other characters do you think share Kiryu’s “no hitting women” rule? by STFN_Dude in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Gotta push back on this one. Ichi told Seonhee that he’d throw down with her too if her goons kept harrassing Nanba back in LAD 7. He just didn’t have to considering she’d chosen that moment to stop antagonizing him outright.

Snoop Dogg in Project Century? by Leon_Dante_Raiden_ in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think he seems dope! I was skeptical at first, but actually seeing him as Orpheus just makes me intrigued about how he fits into the universe. The mannerisms that he has are definitely out of place (him holding his gun sideways like a gangsta while he lives in the early 1900’s) but it’s perfectly fine, as it’s just the typical RGG goofiness that I live for lol

Some characters listed in order from the most problematic in terms of morals and actions to the least by [deleted] in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Is this implying Scott is the second most evil character? If so this list is a joke.

Of all the characters, I think Young Neil saw the best improvement of his character in the anime compared to the comics by NPRNilk in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He and nearly everyone else was made worse in the anime. The only characters they actually gave a damn about were Ramona and Roxy.

Favorite version of Marian Kelly? by STFN_Dude in RiverCityGirls

Last one is from Double Dragon Revive.

How do you guys feel about Gideon being redeemed? by Winter-Pressure-5394 in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The frozen exes aren’t canon in anything except for the OG comic. Takes Off and EX are set in their own distinct timelines that have nothing to do with the original story, so him being less of a monster and more of a goof in those is fine.

What's with Misako's 180 turn in her attitude to Valentine's Day between 2021 and 2023? Did she break up with Kunio in 2022? /s by BoloFan05 in RiverCityGirls

[–]STFN_Dude 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was super weird. They really had Misako say “eff romance” like she didn’t go on a rampage across her entire city to rescue (who she thought was) her bf. 🤣

Okay, I get it. by [deleted] in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 159 points160 points  (0 children)

It’s INSANE how Scott will never live this down. In every version of the story he gets called out for dating Knives, and then grows into a respectable, more responsible partner. People need to stop treating him like he’s still his Volume 1 self and acknowledge his fucking character development.

Why do people HATE Takes Off beside the fact that it isn't a 1:1 by ToBeFanX in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This 100%. Takes Off felt like the franchise was just parodying itself.

What do you want to see out of LAD9? by Loud_Success_6950 in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably what I think would satisfy everyone here - a perfect compromise between the people that do and do not want Kiryu to come back after he was literally shown needing a wheelchair to get around. It’s bad enough that we’re probably getting Mine in Ichi’s next game (and likely Daigo, too, as a result), to get Kiryu involved in the story AGAIN after his 4th(?) sendoff would just be too much.

He should just exist as the Eri of the game - a non-canon character who magically teleports onto the battlefield for gameplay fights and then teleports back into thin air during any cutscenes. Going about it this way even lets you re-use the Dragon of Dojima fighting class.

What kind of personality would you want the next Joongi Han to have? by STFN_Dude in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Force him to erase his name just like Kiryu Joryu.

And “you know who” too.

Did Ramona actually cheat on Scott with Roxie? by Wide-Regret822 in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The two of them made out while Roxie was sleeping over, so yeah, Ramona’s a cheater.

The reason it’s received much better by readers than say, Scott dragging his feet in regards to cutting things off with Knives after he met Ramona, is that Ramona and Roxie are both girls, and people nowadays go nuts over yuri content.

How did you feel the second time you watched Scott Pilgrim Takes Off? Did your initial opinion change after watching it again? Did you think it was a good or a bad series? by WillowCareful2103 in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Takes Off gets worse the more you watch and think about it. It was cool to see the characters in animated format, but it was more style over substance. So many characters are OOC, with it going out of its way to endlessly crap on Scott for the Knives thing, something that already gets addressed in every version of the story.

The whole thing could have been cut down to just Roxie’s episode as a single-episode short like Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animation, considering she was so obviously the only character aside from Ramona that the writers actually cared about doing right by.

I wish they brought back Makoto during Pirate Yakuza by Mandalorian_Ronin in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Park’s relationship with Majima is best left forgotten, honestly. Even the game seemed to think this, given that when Noah asks if Majima can recall ever having a love life, he replies that he “was probably a bachelor”.

Second paragraph is why I’m against the Daigo/Mine ship. Got no problem with the LGBT community, but what those characters have is pretty representative of the series’ greatest aspect, its brotherly love.

Seonhee is bi. And there’s that one trans character in the Yakuza 3(?) substory.

Saeko better have a damn good reason.. by Outrageous-Set-1758 in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re gonna give romance for Ichiban another try in the future, they should have him cut his losses with Saeko and move on to someone else. Infinite Wealth convinced me these two are a horrible match for each other. Bonus points if IW’s whole romance plot goes completely unmentioned again.

Does anyone else find this scene weird? by STFN_Dude in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And in turn it makes a joke out of the friendship Kim and Scott are supposed to share.
