"piece of junk, who cares?" *Poison gives the most disgusted eye roll and dismissive wave ever and flounces off* That cracks me up every single time I see it. XD I love Poison, best part of this game.
Fuck the haters, Poison is an awesome character! She cracks me up with all her scheming and crazy plans to become famous. If she's a transsexual it just adds to her zanny eccentric personality imo.
You know, the whole controversy with Poison's gender actually made me learn about her, and I have to say, she's my favorite fighting character of any game now. Simply from interest, and the over the top performances in Street Fighter x Tekken... thats quite over the top and hilarious.
Poison's creator has stated that Poison is a girl (in Japan) and the only reason why she was stated to be a "newhalf" was to avoid being sued in America for depictions of violence against women by feminist.
Yeah, for some odd reason people like to debate whether or not she's a Male/Female Trans-gender/Post-op. But it's nice to see other people's point of views. This video is second most viewed to my channel. My number one is the Jin/Xiaoyu video.
(Part 2) Since they are best skilled in the art of professional wrestling... together they form their own wrestling association known as the H.W.A. Hugo and Poison push their way into other wrestling competitions, and force whoever they beat to join their association. Whether or not they succeed in becoming the strongest wrestling association in the world all depends on Poison.
(Part 1) Poison finally obtained Pandora, but unfortunately there were no press there to witness her amazing accomplishment. Failing in their mission of becoming famous by obtaining Pandora, Poison goes back to her original plan of having her and Hugo gain fame through sheer brute force.
I wonder why the Rival Fight in Poison and Hugos Arcade wasn't a Rematch against King and Marduk... after all, that would have been an awesome opportunity since they already appeared to have a little rivalry from the Trailer. (Also I would fucking LOVE to kick those guys faces to smithereens for that cheap victory :P )
Nope, her being male to female is why she became popular and what created her larger fanbase in the 1st place. It's best the keep non-broken things the way they are.
Facts, love the fact that she is a trans girl just like me!, she might as well be my role model for crying out loud, she's been a trans girl since day fuckin 1 I heard it in a video I watched soo ya, she is a trans girl and people should shut up and deal with it 💗💗trans girl power💗💗
Who cares if Posion is a guy a female or a transgender ? , she is hot , she knows what she wants and she is damn proud of it, THAT is the only thing that matters in my book...
A lot of media states her as transsexual, from a man to a woman, but if you really think about it maturely, and look into how she became to be, she is clearly female, but everyone in the Street Fighter Era say that she is as strong as a man. Ryu mentions that, also Chung Li. The creators said that she can be either or, which is stupid. So with that, I believe that she is a she that is extremely strong. Played with her whenever I can and she is really fun to play as.
She's possibly Capcom's most controversial character. She first debuted in Final Fight, where her gender was listed as 'newhalf' (which means male-to-female pre-op transwoman). However Capcom has said that in North American releases of their games, she's to be considered a post-op transwoman, rather than 'newhalf'. Of course they also say that part of the charm of the character is the gender ambiguity. After all, a lady has to keep some things secret, no?
Eh, I prefer to take the same stance as Capcom, and leave her ambiguous. A) because it maintains the interesting history behind her character, and B) she is a fictional character, so I'd like to think she's whatever to whoever.
Mad Gear was one of the best lore of Capcom until Cody came along. We need to bring Mad Gear back to its former glory!!!!! Basically Capcom needs to make another Final Fight game dammit.
I always thought the whole Hugo is so strong that no one want's the be his partner thing to be silly you would think people would want the be his partner because all the would have to do is sit back and let him do all the work
It's officially stated that Poison is indeed a transgender. In america Poison is a post op trans, meaning she was once male whom got an operation to become female. In Japan she simply tucks away her business to look female. In my opinion I don't give a flying fuck if Poison is a male, female, transgender or whatever! She is hot, badass and i love her! Also i'm glad she is transgender because it makes her different and Street Fighter after all is about the diversity of fighters around the world.
In the original concept art of Poison, before final fight was even release, she was considered a new half which in Japan means a transsexual or transgender woman.
Poison and Hugo are based off real wrestlers. Poison is based off "Hollywood" Jeanne Basone from GLOW. Hugo is based off Andre the giant back when WWE was called WWF. Of course I know what Poison actually is, but it's not those years anymore. She's still strong and hot.
Awesome as always. Hey, I know it's a way away (stupid Sony and their Vita) but provided they make it to 360, will you be doing the "DLC" characters too?
It's a myth many people fall in: in the official Final Fight plans,she was originaly planned by Capcom to be a transgender or ''newhalf'' as they wrote
Street Fighter IV's producer Yoshinori Ono, when asked in an interview about the matter, stated "Let's set the record straight: in North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual. But in Japan, she simply tucks her business away to look female."
Poison was Originally female. When the game got ported to north america, there were concerns about americans having trouble accepting the idea of a woman getting beat up in a video game, so she got turned into a transvestite. But the americans still didn't like it so they swapped the character sprites altogether, but the transvestite idea stuck. So basically, it's region specific. If you're playing this in Asia, it's a female, if America, it's a male.
but seriously, ANY VIDEO where you have more than a minute of footage of Poison the comments become a whole gender argument! Similar to how its the same concept with videos' of Aeris's death scene. Its insane!
I'm going with Poison actually being born with both and thought it was more appealing being a woman. But, yeah, apparently it's offensive to a transsexual who identifies as a female to call her a "trap"...
You're 100% correct, she was always transgendered. The difference is in Japan she still has male parts, in north america she got sugury. But the bottom line is that she started out male.
