For me it'd have to be Caesar from New Vegas, he would definitely argue some shit like star level homelander and pull out the stupidest calcs known to man. And if you slander his goat he would definitely have you killed.

Now, who else would be a terrible scaler?

I'm gonna preface by saying i'm black, and how black characters are represented in media can honestly make or break it for me. And my standards aren't even high, you just have to put in some effort in my opinion

But holy fuck Elena is such a dogshit and embarassing design even with her redesign in 6, she's supposed to be fronm Ethiopia but...she has white straight hair and blue eyes??? Like i know yeah, it's Street Fighter, expecting realistic designs is kind of like wanting burger king to start selling steaks and caviar. But man, what really pisses me off is when people (who usually aren't even black) say it's a good design and good representation when like...no black person is walking around like that (and please don't do the whole WELL AKSHUALLY SOME BLACK PEOPLE DO HAVE BLUE EYES like it's some big ass gotcha, that shit is rare as fuck) and it just feels fetishistic as a whole, why was she essentially wearing underwear and it's giving off some fetishistic ass colonizer vibes.

Compared to Kimberly Jackson in Street Fighter 6, the most recent entry and capcom actually reached out to their black employees and the like for what they should do with her design, and honestly? One of my favorite character designs in recent memory and i love her personality, and who actually has the kind of hair i'd expect someone with melanin in them to actually have? And yeah while here is some parts of her design meant to arouse, it doesn't feel as exploitative as Elena does.

Lemme just preface this by saying as a black man, i do like good representation, mainly when it comes to visual elements on characters. And Kimberly is legitimately one of my favorite designs in recent years compared to some characters in this series (I've always hated Elena's design and Balrog is one step away from a racist caricature, i know i'll get some hate for that opinion but idc).

In case you haven't played the game or don't know about her, but in the lore she is a student of another character named Guy (who's pretty much a ninja) and uses the same fighting style as him, and adds some cool elements like a walkman and using spray cans as smoke bombs. Plus she is EXTREMELY fucking fun to play.

Capcom actually worked with PoC in order to get their design right and i have to say IT WORKED! I love how all her hairstyles are something that actual black women would have. And while there are some gooner aspects to her character (this is Street Fighter, that's gonna be there) i don't really feel as if they are all that egregious compared to some characters and she has a build that fits her character and fighting style.

And honestly? She's really adorable, i wanna give her head pats.

I need some ammo to start using against 40k aside from the obvious. I was thinking "Huff...Huff...Bring me more lower scale settings! Helldivers, Mass Effect, The Expanse! Where are you!?"

Also fuck it why not, 40k slander thread. Because that's a universe that needs to be slandered to hell and back

In my opinion it has to be Joker mains.

First of all, this character hasn't been good since season 3. And people need to realize that. Also Scarecrow fills the same role and niche he did and does a WAY better job at it. Yet it seems in half my games there's a joker main that absolutely refuses to switch off even when their fucking going 1-20, and when we lose it's everyone's fault but theirs. "My superman was throwing!" (I had to babysit the supports you said weren't healing you when you kept going in 1v5, plus ITS MY JOB TO PEEL AND PROTECT MY SUPPORTS AS SUPERMAN DUDE! MAYBE IF YOU PLAYED OTHER CHARACTERS YOU WOULD REALIZE THAT)

Secondly, his players are fucking larpers. Like bro, telling "dark" jokes in team chat isn't funny and i've lost count of how many i had to report. And YOU DON'T NEED TO LAUGH AFTER EVERY FUCKING KILL, WE GET IT MAN. YOU'RE THE JOKER.

Don't even get me started on the Joker/Harley e-dating duo stacks man...
