...and WTF, no Poison in Street Fighter V = no buy![]()
I think it's hilarious that people choose to ignore Roxy, the identical palette swap of Poison sans dick, and continue to want Poison to be a chick.
That's my favorite part of this retarded debate.
So either way, Poison has an XY chromosome. Is Merc telling us he would fuck a dude who mutilated his penis to look like a chick?
Four years later and nothing's changed.
Merc should come back and make some more batshitcrazy threads, for ole time sake.
I don't care what people think, I still swear by this...

There's just so much eagerness behind whomever designed that sprite, in Final Fight ok she was there but this sprite design...OMFG...
There are 2 poisons around here now.
I'm gay for Poison...
...good, 'cause all I think about when I look at that sprite is how many licks does it take to cover every inch of that body...def keeping the handcuffs...hat is optional...but it will get tossed on the wake...Poison is the sole reason I pick Hugo...
The cosmic certainty has reared its head again.
This is from the article, a quote from Ono:
I don't care if some people want to discredit Ono because they don't like him or he wasn't around back then or not. It's likely the guy has a pretty good bead on Capcom's development history.
I disregard all the myriad mythologies revolving around the character beyond the original intent because it's too fucking byzantine to sort out.
Capcom has waffled on this so many times that I just can't take anything into account beyond the original version. Not even when manuals printed by that company cite things. You just can't take it seriously because Capcom continues to contradict the issue and leave it muddy.
So wash it all away, push the reset button, do whatever you like. Clear away all the shit and wash all the muddy confusion off and you have the original concept.
That she was supposed to be a woman.
That's good enough for me.
