Wind?I hated Talims personality in SCIII onwards.
I miss ass jiggle physics
Hearing her damage noises is really unsettling.
Her design comes down to being and banking on being pure and cute, and people probably liking the novelty of a kid fighting grown ass characters and characters like Astaroth and Nightmare for instance.
Talim's English VA is actually Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go's Starfire, Princess Bubblegum (Adventure Time), and Nia from Gurren Lagann's voice actress.wow she does sound like Lisa Simpson
Truth. Sure, I do like her designs, (most of them anyway), but the thing I like most about Talim is her playstyle. The idea that you can pull off a string of moves and spins and jumps, so that, in theory, you can force your turn on your opponent. And of course, look stylish doing it, lol.What I disagree with you (and I won't be an asshole to go around accusing you of being asinine just because we have different opinions) is you're inferring there is some less-than-moral. reason why men would like something "innocent/pure/cute".
I like puppy dogs, and I don't think that makes me a monster.
Most of whatever Talim does has always been very obscured because of this and her lack of an objective, personal motivation to her character which I think can be a bit of a weakness if people want more than just the 'goodie-two-shoes' character she kind of is, but being a child/prodigy as Raphael refers to her being a "little one needing a nap" I could see her naivety being her appeal. Though I she should have just gotten with Yun-Seoung and had a kid in SCV just to wrap up that "will they or won't they" thing they had in SCIII.I think that they did a disservice to Talim by having her story revolve around Yun-Seong and Seong-Mina because they were “low tier characters”
Talim and Pyrrha could have fit the same archetype but what they tried to do with Pyrrha is what Talim avoided. Talim is more of a genuine character (though I prefer her in SCII), while Pyrrha ended up being gratingly whiny and moe. I get Talim's gimmick is being cute and innocent but, I do miss her assertive, wiser characterization in SCII. Though which do Talim fans really prefer?Talim’s a unique character, in that, her personality revolves around helping everyone. She’s down to earth and doesn’t seem to want to fight even apologizing for striking much like Pyrrha, minus the evil shards and the intimacy with her family members.
I could have sworn every website source said that Kate Higgins did the voice, so its not that people are just guessing that. Though Scheherazade in SCIV is credited to Stephanie Sheh, even though the voice sounds nothing like her.Talim's English VA is actually Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go's Starfire, Princess Bubblegum (Adventure Time), and Nia from Gurren Lagann's voice actress.
I've seen people egregiously list or think (because they fail to decipher voices on a basic level) that Talim was voiced on Soul Calibur III and IV by Kate Higgins. No. No she was not. She was voiced by Hynden Walch.
Had they actually listed English voices and not unlisted them in the credits for those games for some reason, it wouldn't even be a discussion or "debate," even though there's nothing to debate. That's Hynden Walch.
Debatable. I mean Talim's character in SCII was different than it was in SCIII. The moe thing that Talim has now was really her shift in SCIII, as opposed to her more generic but passable character in SCII. Still, her marketing on just being the innocent character is still more self-supported than it being an innuendo most of the time. Amy on the other hand, is much more overtly sexualized for some reason by PS, looking at how PS advertised her in LS with those hentai outfits and Seoung Mi-na's P2 outfit, plus the fact she is treated more like a CAS character than any other official character is. Talim is at least taken more seriously by PS than Amy is.I hate to address an elephant in the room, but.... Talim is underage and wears mid-rift clothing and a tube top in her first appearance on SCII. See through pants later on SCIV. I don't want to group why she has a big fanbase or who they entail strictly down to one reason, but you can draw your own conclusions pretty easily why some do like her, which has to do with her being a lolibait type character.
There are female Talim fans that are more open about Talim's return and people talking about her being the only Filipino character, etc but it is hard to argue as a grown man your demand for Talim on the character traits she has (cute, naive, spunky) lol. Thats considered quality woman traits in Japan but in the west, I can't argue that without specific context, its hard to demand her for just that or even using that as your argument. Then again, what could possibly be said about Amy's character that wouldn't be creepy? Amy is (Cute, Quiet, Docile, Shy, Condescending) etc. You just can't do it. lol.IGrown men liking her as adamantly as they do always made me raise an eyebrow. I know she's very popular with female fans. Which you can deduce is because she's a cute, spunky kind of character and female gamers are statically drawn to characters like that. But I'd be lying if I didn't say her fanbase of guys kind of always gave me some bad vibes at times because I didn't know which side of the fence they sat on as to why they like her, so to speak. lol
