Y’know, I’ve never really thought about having a “top 5″ in this category. Hmmm…

Obviously, Chun-li makes the list. I don’t know when, but at some point she just became the go-to character I use in Street Fighter, though she’s kind of weird in SF4.

Maybe Samus Aran, though I waffle back and forth on whether or not she’s a stereotype. That’s mostly because of Zero Suit Samus, who I’m very suspicious of – I know we had the “Justin Bailey” stuff for a while, but Nintendo really started pushing the Zero Suit as “ooh, isn’t Samus sexy?” to appeal to the Japanese market, where Metroid historically didn’t sell very well. Which makes her feel icky. I just don’t like it when they push her sex appeal to the front like that, especially with Other M also doubling down on the monotone, droning voice. It feels too trope-y. But the character can still be cool, sometimes.

Morrigan from Darkstalkers can be pretty cool if handled correctly. Like with Samus, I guess it’s about how much people are going to focus on her as a sex object. Morrigan is a succubus, though, so her whole thing is sex. It’s much more in-character. I just think she has a cool design. The bat wings in her hair are a nice touch, and she can be a fun character otherwise (I like her in crossover settings, like Puzzle Fighter, where she changes her clothing to mock or cheer on other characters).

I like Zoey from Left 4 Dead. I like that they paint her as a horror movie buff. Valve was, at least for a while, pretty good at making women with three-dimensional personalities. Zoey isn’t defined by being “the only girl.” One of my favorite lines is from I think Blood Harvest – “A cabin in the middle of nowhere? I know how this movie ends.”

Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, you have to send this to- or tag- ten of your favorite followers 🌸 

1. My artistic skills in a needle and ink, even though I’m still somehow in denial about being creative.

2. Got that memory of a selective sponge... Catch me saying lines before they’re said in things.

3. My strength and spunk. 

4. A sense of humour few have, but many understand. 

5. Ability to harmonize once I’ve figured out the singer/band. 

I sincerely didn't know this and would like to know more
