attacks

lol...I'm serious

[Titiln]

you could provide some examples

[Monday-Night-War]

ummm.....

1.Fighting Games being centered around this huge tournament that everybody wants to be apart of....
2.Fighting Games are full of racial stereotypes and don't represent certain nations properly at times.....

etc, etc.....

[Titiln]

those arent exactly new

[Monday-Night-War]

my bad...I meant to say "that new fighting games continue to follow"......any ideas now???

[Nero D.]

They aren't really cliches either.

A cliche would be, instead of a stereotype, a character type: for example, the wandering warrior, the hot blooded bruce lee clone, the chick, the big guy wrestler, those are cliches.

Then again, without those, the game would be stale as shit.

I think they've just become the staple of fighting games in general, like they've actually become a mechanic to designing and developing fighters.

[Titiln]

yeah having a chick in a fighting game is really cliche

what the fuck

But isn't that boring??? Shouldn't all games come with a fresh feel instead of seeming like a repackaged and redesigned idea???

[Foobs]

Play more generic doujins.

Nah I'm talking about the token one chick with the high speed and low strength.

Cammy and Blue Mary balanced it out by having strong power moves along with decent speed.

What he means is Chinese women who are capable of doing Martial Arts along with stuff, and being very combo efficient.
Like Chun-Li being a detective
Jam being a cook
Litchi being a Scientist/Doctor (can't remember which.)

When was the last time a female was the Juggernaut?

Also, what I don't particularly like is ShotoClones. Unless I'm playing SF.

Heck, we can just refer to TVtropes for all these "tricks" in character designs.

[Nero D.]

Yeah pretty much. Then again, when I think about it, these aren't really cliches either.

TempesT pretty much worded it best.

all of these are more elaborate than "chick"

[Nero D.]

Would "token chinese girl" be a more appropriate title?

[kakkoii superhero]

a hero character,

they all just fight craving anarchists, there are no hero among them

Chinese Female Fragile Speedster would work better.

Ok.
They're Protagonists.
Protagonists can be villians or heroes, or nothing really.
They're just the main character.
