LansingWolverine Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Reading the SNK wiki does things to people's mind. O_O Apparently, Ash is a guy, (I already knew that) but Shion is a guy, too. I think that's going a little too far. I have a theory that in Japan he/she (i'll just call Shion "it") is male, but everywhere else, it's a female. Even better, in the American verison, Shion's voice is of a woman. What do you guys think? LansingWolverine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeoKitsune Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Looks can be deceiving, Shion came as a surprise to me; SNK have done this in the past though (Such examples include Bao or Chris, I initially thought Bao was a girl). I ascertained that Ash Crimson was male when I first played KOF '03 (I must admit the headband was misleading). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazagami Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 It's something called trap Tons of other medias, fighting games or not, has these type of characters Gotta admit i mistook Shion as girl too, but i'm not really surprised when the profile said male.

Werewood Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Gameplay-wise: - I prefer Ash much much over Shion; Shion system is too complicated for me to use........ Graphics-wise: - the first time I saw Shion I already considered him a male. If Shion was not a sub-boss, then I probably would not have included him in my data/select.def Nonetheless, Juke Kisaragi did a professional well-done MUGEN job with Shion!

Demitri Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 If i remember correctly, SNK planned for Shion to be a girl but changed it for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. KOtik Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Shion is male? Well its not as shocking as when i found out Bridget from Guilty Gear is male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LansingWolverine Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 IKR! Looks can be decieving, but I'm still confused about the voice thing. In Japan, Shoin sounds like a guy, meanwhile, here in America, it sounds like a woman. I think even SNK of America got confused! But Genesis is right. Apparently, according to the SNK wiki, Shoin was originally a girl. But they scrapped that idea. It was supposed to be a daughter of Ignes, i think... But yea... SNK of Japan is a serious lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAGoodName Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 How do I feel about these characters? I hate them. Androgyny is something that the world could do without. On the bright side, it's better than Capcom's love of obnoxious and monsterous characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazagami Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Androgyny isn't a crime man ._. So does Monstrosity and Obnoxiousity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LansingWolverine Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 I actually like the monstosity Capcom makes. ^_^; I didn't read the second part... But I do know androgyny isn't a crime, it's a unsolved wonder... It's sort of like teaching a puppy to meow like a cat, but still look like a dog.

Kazagami Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 That's what made a system unique. It's called diversity. Something distinguished from other things. You don't want all the characters on your fighting game is generic guy with headbands and gi lol. Only my humble opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LansingWolverine Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 I glad someone said their honest opinion, and for that I respect you. I do agree with you, but I was born under a house (and the year) where that was awkward...but yea. But yea, no generic chars ftw! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
