Man, Valk is so fun to use. He plays like haku + tao and his pressure game is great.

I'm sorry I don't want to sound like I'm dragging on about this and I agree with what you are saying. I just want to say my main point is that this Litchi is "equally good to everyone" is something that these people came up with in their heads as they were completely ignoring the one and only important reason that she's in the story, the fact that she's obsessed with Arakune and trying to save him. And just because she's acting selfishly doesn't at all mean that she's inherently evil. She just happens to have gotten herself entangled in bad guy affairs. The only reason you would ever feel "betrayed" is because you really weren't paying attention to any of her story from CT leading up to this, which is why I'm confused this is even an issue anywhere. But then again, I have a feeling you guys get this. This would do better to be posted on GameFAQS However I feel like I'd be talking to a brick wall. About Tager being more involved in the story: Well I'd pay for a full length motion picture of GOLDEN TAGER X piloted by Makoto :D

Yea he did. It was his suggestion that influenced Litchi to join the bad dudes. What I'm getting at here is that these haters don't know how story telling works. Also that it's their loss.

So I'm the only person who thinks this makes litchi more interesting? It's called a dramatic twist. They keep characters from becoming that stale 1 dimensional anime character. I feel that people are forgetting that they are trying to tell an interesting story here. She was, after all, quite boring and useless to the story without this predicament. The way Bang and Hakumen are virtuous is cool because they are overly heroic and epic about it. That thick-headed, sometimes self serving, and overly dramatic style is my favorite archetype for a hero character. Litchi wasn't that interesting as just someone who was there to be nice to everyone. She had no business being in the storyline at all, she would have just been the busty fighter game chick, which by no means is a bad thing of course. If people think this is coming from left field then I have to ask if they were even paying attention to how obsessed she was with arakune since CT. You had to figure something like this would happen with a villain as manipulative as hazama. All I should have to emphasis is that it's a story, not real life. In a good story, the characters and their flaws are there to keep the story going and keep it fresh. I realize that this is a fighting game, but if you are going to have a character-centric story then the characters are the plot devices and they must be interesting and evolve to make the story work. Also, the return of her drunken perverted lesbian cosplay fanatic antics just adds to my love for her. Does that make me weird?

It shouldn't even be about that. Flaws make characters interesting. I thought Tsubaki was boring as hell, the stoic overbearing perfect supporter of the NOL she is, until I played her story and she ultimately succumbs to her less heroic emotions and attacks everyone she loves. That's story telling! Evil characters are also very interesting. Hazama is probably my favorite character, but it goes without saying he is a monster. He just goes about being evil in an entertaining way. I don't think people realize that these are all story elements. Story Writing 101: it doesn't matter if the protagonist is ultimately just as long as that character is interesting!

Wait, wait. People hate litchi because there is the possibility that she has shaky morals? Why would this be a reason to not like a character? So I'm guessing they all hate Hazama? and Ragna, Jin, Arakune, Nu, and most of the cast? If anything her inability to let go of her love is just part of her personality, it actually makes the situation more interesting story-wise and makes her easily influenced by the villains, adding more to the story itself.

Was it at Digital Press?

Of course I know Greek mythology. That win quote still seems pretty cryptic though.

Very interesting read... so Ragna isn't the reincarnation of the black beast which is what I thought was going on but the future body for the black beast...in the past... There is one thing that still confuses me. Hakumen's win quote against Rachel mentions something about a person named Icarus and "dolls" as if rachel isn't really who she appears to be, but I guess that it will be addressed in BB2.
