He's easily the most forgettable playable character in the Final Fight games. I even played FF2 way more than FF3 yet I remember the newcomers in the latter way better.
>>11909657 (OP)
I know a lot of people like him but I've always thought Waluigi was sort of lame. I know he was created to give Wario a doubles partner in Mario Tennis but I dunno, he just feels redundant.
>>11914472
That's only because people liked him ironically for so long. People pretended to like him as a joke because he was a crappy character, then everyone not in on the joke started thinking people actually liked him and jumped on the waluigi bandwagon.
>>11914546
There are people who unironically liked him from the start. I had a friend that has been a fan of him since back when Mario Tennis was new. He's still his favorite Mario character.
>>11909657 (OP)
I have no idea who this is but because he already has sort of a cowboy outfit look I think he needed some sort of stylized cowboy hat to commit to this strange western ronin look
>>11915339
His name is Carlos and he's from Final Fight 2... I have no idea what they were going with the Canadian Tuxedo+Samurai Sword+Yellow Cowboy Boots combo. I think most people dislike him because he replaced Guy and Cody. Maki gets a pass cuz she's a hot ninja chick. Final Fight 3 also has a similarily dorky guy, Dean
>>11915460
I think some sort of a cowboy hat like I said could tie it together maybe an eyepatch also but this is me trying to make it into a cowboy samurai.
Half on topic, but I used to think Bubble & Squeak had such a cool cartoony design, I used to think it was based on something because they felt a cut above video games, like something in a European newspaper comic.
Turns out nah it was just for this one game, but I still think they're pretty neat.
>>11914546 >>11915070
At the start, Waluigi had nothing and it was a struggle to find any reason the character should even exist outside of "Wario needs a secondary". Power Tennis and Strikers did a TON of heavy lifting to get Waluigi up to being a character people actually enjoyed. But those first few years were rough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5O745C7gAw
>>11916061
Nah fuck off they are based.
The basketball nigga is fun to play as and the one in the middle has an attack that the AI cant protect against.
>>11916007
Kind of reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes. >>11916061
The sports team should have been recognizable guys from other Neo sports games. Maybe the German golfer guy from Neo Turf Masters
>>11916331 >Tecmo >Thinking that after Final Fantasy "III" and with Chrono Trigger and EarthBound on the horizon, people were going to play an RPG that looks like an unreleased NES game and localized like somebody was mashing the keyboard
Really?
>>11916649
Considering it’s A. A game nobody gives half a shit about and B. There’s multiple Tecmo games on the service already I would say it’s NSO fodder
>>11916194 >>11916195 >>11916280
Only Nomura can pull it off. As skilled as the Death Note guy is, only one man can do this and still have it be bussin, litty, and drawing dimes.
For sure they lacked of creativity while creating this character. I can imagine how it went:
Capcom artist 1: "hey everyone, we need to create a boss for the bay area, any ideas?"
Capcom artist 2: "thats easy, simply change the head of a andore, the color of his clothes for white color and give him some more speed and a few new movements, and thats it".
Capcom artist 1: "hey, what a great design idea you have, i will simply "copy paste" a andore and in a few minutes is ready".
Note: i know many enemies in final fight are "copy pastes", BUT those are normal enemies.
The fact a BOSS is a "copy paste" from normal enemies fells like lack of creativity.
>>11915663 >Carlos is just inexplicably there without any reason
He was renting out Haggar's basement and seemingly had nothing better to do.
Carlos is a enigma.
Hell, Maki in Final Fight 2 is nothing at all like her future depictions. CVS2 Maki is based off her appearance in Sakura Ganbaru.

Speaking of Capcom, Area just comes together so badly for her concept I've never seen a single person say they like her. You'd think Japan would nail "glasses nerd with enchanced cybernetic robot arm" but everything about Area just comes together into a mess of a design.
>>11919602
i don't mind her overall design, but everything involving the head is just a disaster.
she's just kind of ugly.
she's a little bit cuter in EX layer.
tho for some reason her character art is drastically different from her in-game model
>>11921063
Canonically she got obsessed with fighting so her genius scientist dad said "well I can't stop you so here have a giant robot arm and roller skates".
>>11925353
What exactly do people hate about this guy again? I don't like it myself but I all MK designs are kinda lame to me except for the ninjas. Is it the backwards cap?
>>11925353
if you met this guy in real life he would fuck your wife and you'd do exactly nothing about it. i know this for a fact because i am that guy.
>>11925358
He’s very 90s in a bad way. Also the tacticool police officer wasn’t really a thing yet so he just look a like a dork in a baggy t shirt. The weird futuristic cyber cop he became in Armageddon was pretty bad too but MK9’s redesign was decent
>>11925353 >Tacticool gear + shoulder holster. >Tonfa, pistol, grenades. >80s motorcycle gloves.
Fuck off, Stryker is based. Not exactly the regular MK character people were used to, but he's good. His later design were soulless and generic as fuck.
>>11909657 (OP)
Be honest mario sucks ass.Like they stuffed some pixels in a square and went what will we call that mess and someone shouted out a plumber from...eh.... italy?
>>11926110 >tacticool
Lol.
How difficult is to fuck up a cop-ish costume as hard as they did with Stryker's? Most of the other costumes for the digitized actors also feel like scrounged from Goodwill and halloween stores, but even on that context even the laziest intern could have found something more convincing.
