Withered Chica will always have my favorite voice lines with her saying “I was the first, I have seen *EVERYTHING”* implying she was the first of the missing children
Even though I'm not a big fan of SB I really like how Steelwool chose to animate her "attack mode" similarly to how Chica was depicted in fnaf 1, with her wonky eyes and her head almost always resting on one of her shoulders. It's a nice little reference to the original games.
Honestly interestingly, it DOES kind of lean towards the idea of "if it werent for the circumstances, she'd also be an ally" too... Moving by far the most "robotic" of them all.
Honestly, despite Chica being a background character compared to the rest of the cast and being overlooked frequently, I do quite like the Chicas. From Withered who is a mix of slightly goofy and slightly creepy to Glamrock Chica who is “garbage, consume” they’re all relatively fun (except Phantom, but that’s just a Phantom thing and not a Chica thing)
Chica in Security Breach is like, the most normal and fine. While still affected by the virus, she's still just a gal who likes to eat. There's no extreme personality glitches, just a difficulty controlling herself. This is, while not ideal, still a far more well adjusted flaw than Monty's ridiculous anger issues and Roxanne's tragic self image issues.
Chica is the creepiest FNAF1 animatronic to me because of how she fits into the uncanny valley visually AND mechanically. I always figured that the animatronics had the souls of the missing children in them after seeing the poster, and Chica acts the most like a child when she's just bashing around pots and pans in the kitchen. She seems like she's aware of the fact that she's an animatronic but that she is too childlike to prevent herself from trying to pig out on food while trying to kill you and it's always felt so sad to me. The way she stares intot he camera with her mouth open is also terrifying to me.
Chica feels like the most overlooked character of the original four throughout the series but I always liked her. I always used to find her the scariest out of the bunch, maybe it's that beak with teeth or that I was and am a wuss.
Nah, you're not a wuss. A bird with teeth is always scary. It's why people are terrified of demon chickens AKA geese. They have teeth-like spikes lining their beaks. (Also, anyone who has raised chickens know that they're vicious little demons in their own right 😂)
I always liked the name Carl for the cupcake (similar to how people liked to call the toy one either Cherry or Charlie, before Charlie became the Puppet's soul name), but this is just a fan made one; it always has been called "Mr. Cupcake" in merchandising and wikis.
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Don't worry it's okay it doesn't make a lot of difference, a lot of people think that's the canon name anyways since "Carl the Cupcake" feels more complete than just "Mr. Cupcake" (and the overall video is perfect soooo that's a win ahah). 🧁💕
Chica's presence is so important despite going unnoticed and you can tell because back when sister location was announced chica wasn't a fan favorite, but everyone freaked out when she wasn't there
She may not be distinct in her mechanics but she is interstitial to the vibes of the games She's not only the Girl she's Chica, and bands without one of their members just never feels right, especially with a replacement.
lol and literally 1 game later Scott just threw her in our faces like "There, here's what Chica would look like if she were in FNAF5. Happy, squeakers?"
I honestly think all of Glamrock Chica's maliciousness is strictly from the virus attack. What we can gleam off of her is that she is caring (seen running to Freddy's side when he collapses on stage), and takes her job seriously, rocking out like mad in her own room during her downtime. However her habits also tackle a metaphor many rockstars deal with. Chica loves food, especially junk food like pizza. This leads to her filling her chassis up with junk which often is even spilling out of her mouth like she's vomiting. A rather disturbing habit some stars do in order to indulge in their desires of eating food they like, while also keeping their shapely figure, is to vomit up their food after eating it. Chica ends up being a mirror for that disturbing side.
My favorite part about Chica is her beak. It's always changing. Hollow and soulless in 1, it being missing or bigger in 2, the inward curve in 4. glamrock is basically an evolution of funtime, which introduced the lipstick and more appealing looking teeth.
Me too! That is like, so fitting for Chica! Though it would’ve gotten annoying at some point but it’s funny. Maybe there’s still a chance they’ll make her a valley girl in the next game. Not Security Breach, I mean a different game. Maybe a joke game, like Fury’s rage.
I haven’t said this yet but: for some reason I love it when people do deep dives on characters where they like talk about their entire history. 😊So thanks for making these so well, cuz you mention everything. Even mini games which are forgotten half the time.
Yellow feathers symbolise that the chicken is a child and white feathers symbolise that the chicken is an adult. Security Breach in a way allowed Chica to age.
I now remember that in SL everyone was discussing who is the animatronic we're inside during night 4, and it was largely speculated to be an unused funtime chica. Since the plates *do* match I still think its her
I'm just glad Chica's been getting the love she deserves as of recent! She's always been a favorite for me, even usually the scariest animatronic out of them all
C-H-I-C-A I'm never gonna go away I look through your right window Yellow's all you're gonna see today I'm a chicken with a nasty bite I'm a girl with an appetite The other one is just some party girl I've got more fight, just ask the world
Y'know, It would have been cool if Chica was the character to help Gregory around in Security Breach. While personally I don't like the idea of any of the animatronic characters helping Gregory(rather I'd just have him on his own, or with some other person), I do think Chica would have been a better choice than Freddy, reasons being unlike Freddy who had the franchise named after him, Foxy who was a fan favorite from the start, Bonnie who had a game focused on a Bonnie variant(Springtrap), Chica never had anything major to her name. Also horror/thriller franchise's usually aren't named after a protagonist/supporting character, so Freddy should have been a villain in Security Breach. If any of the animatronics should have been Protags, Chica would have been a cool one. PS at 22:10 Charlie got that 5 o'clock shadow tho ngl
Makes more sense, she's probably the weakest of the four so, despite being a robot is at a disadvantage against the main cast, her smaller frame means no mecha piloting so tension can exists and, well her personality to me is more interesting, imagine discovering the layers beneath that bubbly personality as game progresses, showing her repressed and less family friendly side and bonding with Greg as they grow closer (only for Chica to get disassembled in most endings, nyeheheheheh).
Honestly, i could see both Freddy AND Chica being the "friendlier" of the two. *Especially* compared to Monty and Roxy... Among the Core Four/FNAF 1 crew or such? Yeah that'd be a total mystery. Maybe Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy? Or simply just Bonnie and Chica...
Something missed: Toy Chica is believed to be the one who caused the bite of ‘87 Her beak is missing, she says it’s in your forehead(frontal lobe), and even tho there is allegedly another MCI if we take that Chica was the first then no wonder she has beef with Silly Willy and tried to end him
Chica and all her variants have always been my favorite out of the original four. I can't even put it fully into words why, I just love her so much, and withered Chica in particular is one of my favorite animatronics in the series. Her design is fantastic, and the lore her UCN voice lines are so intriguing to me Also personally I fucking love the Valley Girl accent for Glamrock Chica. I just like that accent on characters in general though so that's a heavy bias lol
Honestly, general preference here HAS been towards the Bonnies and Chicas here, yeah. Though the Glamrock Chica is definitely THE best of her appearances... For Bonnie, it'd have to be FNAF 1, unless we get an un-damaged Withered variant sometime to compare against...
should be noted that the valley girl voice for glamrock chica wasn't her original voice, some of the steel wool devs confirmed in a gamejolt interview that the dialogue was for a cut joke mode called "80s mode" which only changed the voice and nothing else lol
Oh, Chica, my beloved. She’s been my favorite character for y e a r s now and she’s so constantly overlooked and honestly hated on by some people I know, and it makes me sad. Amazing video, it makes me happy to hear people talk about her, at all, but the quality of your videos definitely makes it even better :)
My favorite detail about FnaF in space 2 is that chica is overtly a Samus Aran stand in, which if you're a Metroid fan youll get how funny a bird being Samus is.
One thing not mentioned about Glamrock Chica is that if you get close to her while in Freddy, you can hear faint sounds of crying, implying that she's aware under the corruption and distressed by the actions she's being forced to take against Gregory.
8:33 "We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty." Also, I really love how dedicated this fanbase is to this game to telling these stories and going over the details. I look forward to your videos a lot! I love the way you do them. Also, Withered Chica is utterly terrifying. ALSO, also, watch your pizza because she's a bird who likes to eat, om nom nom!
i love chica!! she's one of my favorite reoccurring characters in all of fnaf! i think she has some of the most fun personality traits and designs, as well as a lot of cute character interactions. i love how she and the puppet are together in ucn, possibly implying that they're friends (which is adorable and a little heartbreaking when you remember susie and charlie are possessing them 🥺), and her story in fazbear frights is so wholesome and bittersweet. while i'm not always happy with the direction a specific game may choose to go with her (though that's usually only when she's used as thirst/fetish bait), i still love chica and it makes me really happy that she's stuck around so long 💛🐥
Why does the first lines of classic chica’s voice in the song sound like the actress ‘Jennifer Coolidge’ who I ironically joked about voicing chica in the fnaf movie with a few friends?
Chica literally ages from chick to hen 1. Chica 2. Toy Chica 3. Funtime Chica 4. Rockstar Chica She went through bird puberty From disgusting chick to foul bird
Admittedly I have an unnatural amount of love towards glamrock chica and its entirely because of the bugs. I love that stupid teleporting chicken so so so much that I wish with all my heart that it was just canon that she could teleport. Also in the opening cutscene I noticed that all of the other band mates are doing their show routine, meanwhile chica just has this look of absolute grim determination on her face. Like she knows whats going down that. That the others are going to largely useless with monty just spending the majority of the time in his golf course, roxy crying in her room and falling through walls/floors, vannessa not during her job and just dancing around tposing in a bunny suit. Its fun to characterize her like she’s that one member on the group project that has to do all of the work while the others just goof off. And then there is Turbo chica, the name DJ sterf gave to chica when she decides that enough is enough and just rapidly teleports around the gremlin including when you enter cutscenes causing gameovers and when your inside of freddy. Unlike giga monty who is just one differently coded monty any G chica has the ability to manifest her turbo state and it can lead to some of the most terrifying moments in the game. Your inside of freddy, power slowly draining, you try to move towards the recharge station but chica is just teleporting in your way like she’s boxing you in. Like she has figured out a way to turn the rules of the game against you. Despite not being as run ending as giga monty or tva moonman, I see turbo chica as the most dangerous thing in the pizzaplex solely because any chica can enter that state and the scariest part…. we have absolutely no idea what causes it to happen. Sometimes she will flicker away and delay the teleport for upwards for ten minutes, and then just randomly go turbo on you when you least expect it. I just love that terrifying teleporting chicken and always am rooting for her to stop that gremlin before he escapes and breaks the rest of reality with his presence ^^
@@Rigmor_ “No more games…” Is my favorite quote in the context of her teleportation. Its like the thing a boss in an action game would say before going into their desperation attack phase. Itd just so fitting and Im so excited to see what type of way she will break in ruin
Chica has to be one of my most FAVORITE animatronics EVER. My favorite part of the fan base was watching everyone argue whether or not she was a chicken or a duck lol
Funny enough, she is the one that notices Freddy is glitching out in game and is the first to check on him when he collapses. Then again, the Security Breach animatronics all seem to have complicated personalities. Some of her worse traits in the game maybe from the corruption
The most significance N. Chica has is that one Markiplier clip where he goes “Night 1 is never really that bad in any of the games…” shortly before dying at 5AM to her and ending his first run of FNAF4.
Chica was always my favorite since I was a kid, probably because she was the only girl at first and since then she has always been my favorite in any of the games.
Well, you certainly weren't... *_chicken_* when it came to talking about Chica. (I'm sorry!) One thing about the classic Chica in FNaF 1 that I always found funny is that when standing outside the office window, and during her jumpscare, she's got derpy eyes. That, in combination with her mouth always gaping open and her being a giant chicken wearing a bib, makes her the "comic relief" for lack of a better term if you ask me. Anyways, great video on the history of Kentucky Fried Chica, now I gotta go eat some pizza.
I really like your videos, they're so easy to comprehend and contain a lot of information which is nice for someone like me who is new to fnaf. I have a grasp on the story but I don't really know much about the characters so it's cool to have videos that explain it. I really liked Chica in security breach and it's nice to learn more about her character. It's a shame she's overlooked in favor of other characters
I think one thing people always forget when discussing these characters is that they're, like, robots. They're animatronics. Haunted or not, they're literally robots, their personalities are programmed. So I'm not sure how valid it is to say she has an 'unhealthy fixation on food' as if it's an actual character flaw she has - she's programmed that way to help sell pizza. Really don't get how the animatronics (specifically the animatroncis) are meant to even have 'character', given all this unrelated, but Chica was the most disturbing animatronic in FNAF1 and even FNAF2 and her turning into a joke character saddens me
True, but her literally putting herself and others in danger to reach food is definitely not what they were intending when they programmed her. I'd classify that as unhealthy. And things like Freddy being aware and questioning if he's unique and being capable of mourning are why people who deem them as having character. Especially since with Fazbear Entertainment's lazy and confusing practices, personalities could easily be 'happy accidents' over intentional design. Since they can't or won't fix any possible bugs beyond throwing the whole thing out.
Nightmare Carl’s jumpscare is actually just nightmare china’s bedroom jumpscare, which occurs if you leave nightmare chica sitting at your door for too long
Wow I am so glad that RU-vid recommended your video. I love the way you lay everything out very cleanly and go game by game and even reference back to what was mentioned previously. Makes it all very easy to follow, and you speak very clearly so I can understand you even without the subtitles, though they actually turn out to be very accurate because of how well you speak. Really love finding such accessible content for something so important to me. It’s a pretty big accomplishment with all the chaotic threads of FNAF lore! This is truly incredible thanks so much for putting the time and effort into making this ❤
The original Chica is probably one of, if not the best design in all of FNAF. She's creepy and since she looks so similar to actual animatronics it makes her even more scary.
"I 1 I WAS T TH3 FIR2T I I HA AAVE SE EEN EVERYTH 1 NG" is the best voice line in my opinion, when i think abt it i think of she and toy chica arguing over who is better
I wanted to give some clarification on something you missed: Nightmare cupcake isn't an alternate jumpscare to nightmare Chica. If you don't clear out all of the freddles before going back to facing the front of the bedroom (let's say there's three on the bed and you only cleared two), the cupcake will jumpscare you. So that's why you have to clear out *all* of the Freddles on the bed before going back.
Toy Chica has been voiced by Amber Lee Connors ever since FNAF World. Yes, that Slippy Toad like voice she has in Foxy Fighters is technically canon. Also, Phantom Chica doesn't appear in HW. The only phantoms that appeared in HW was Phantom Freddy, Phantom Foxy, Phantom BB, and Phantom Mangle.
Damn this is amazing! Despite me having a pretty bad voice I've been considering doing my own little mini-series like this. Speaking of I do like how you included EVERY version! Alot of people forget about Coming home and/or FNaF world. Overall this is awesome. You should do more of this stuff. also what editing software do you use? I use capcut despite how simple it is. makes video editing really easy.
Thank you! 8D And you definitely should! I'm pretty lukewarm about my voice, but it gets the job done. XD I use Movie Maker. Out of date, I know, but I haven't found a replacement I feel comfortable with yet. Might check out Capcut though.
Bonnie also does not come back as his own Funtime. Anyway I always liked chica thought she had a pretty well made design in all of the games, Thanks for the great video!
I never really realized how messed up of a character poor Chica is. Her heavily disordered relationship with eating and the sick encouragement of pushing garbage food by the company... All this really hits home about how little the company cares about the customers' health if they can squeeze out profits and how screwed up capitalism is.
Of all the SB animatronics I'd want to hang out with pre-corrupted by Vanny, I think it'd be Glamrock Chica, she just sounds like a genuinely nice person to hang out with, if not a bit indulgent.
I’d like to hang out with all of them, Monty and Roxanne are great too, I mean they are being controlled by Vanny too even tho it doesn’t seem like it, I bet deep down they’re softies. And as wholesome as Glamrock Freddy is, if he saw Roxy crying and doubting herself and Monty all angry and upset, he’d comfort them and motivate them, Freddy is a good friend.
In my opinion, Glamrock Chica’s valley girl voice is much better than what we got (not that the one we got was bad). It gives her so much more personality and makes taking her voice box way more jarring. It also fits with her design more.
I found it a bit funny that chica being an animal with a gluttonous trait was sort of indirectly carried to bendy and poppy playtime in the forms of Boris and pickypiggy. real-life wolves are capable of eating copious amounts of food in one sitting and Pigs are more omnivorous than most domestic animals, and like most meat livestock have been bred to put on weight quickly. That's why in fiction pigs are often portrayed as gluttonous beasts whose favorite thing in life is eating - eating a lot, eating all the time, eating anything that moves and that doesn't. Between chica, Boris and picky, I'd say Boris is the odd one out for three reasons: 1. Boris is a carnivore while chica and picky are omnivores 2. Chica and picky are animals associated with farms while Boris is an animal associated with forests 3. Boris is completely black and white while chica and picky have colors.
I remember when I first found out about FNAF, I was still kinda young so I basically just liked Chica cuz she was the only girl in the original cast 😭 but overtime she's become my main girl, I will defend this fictional robot till I die lol
Only now noticed that chicas eyes are yellow in that trailer video where they perform on stage and may be the only picture source of Chica that the creators of the action figures could find was one where the lighting made the yellow somehow look orange because of a red/pink light? That might have been visible.
I honestly got the impression that Chica, especially in Security Breach, had an eating disorder. Probably not intentionally but that's how she came off
I think it's funny that her special delivery version is described as "one of the ready ones appointments Bonnie" because I've personally literally never beaten Bonnie in that game lmfao
Where is all that food Glamrock Chica eats go? Does it clog up her circuits, and the technicians have to clean her up? Because if so that sounds like an absolute nightmare for the staff.
OMG I love this video. Btw, weirdest question. Do you ever think you'll do like a deep dive into the lore of fnaf, like your personal theories on the story? You probably did and I need to watch it. Sometimes, I get confused on like what's actually cannon at this point. Still slightly upset that Gregory is Patient 46, which I thought Vanny would be be a better fit for.
I might! I think the closest thing I did was my three video tangent on the retcons surrounding the Puppet. 😅But someday I might tackle the whole shebang.
@@OutOfNameIdeas819 You know, in my mind, Vanny is Patient 46.i don't care. I'm going with my gut and ignoring the books.Seriously, maybe i need to write the story at this point.,
@@bjj9986 Honestly, biggest problem is it makes *no* sense for Vanny to be 46. Vanessa is already 71. Why would a split personality check in before the "main" persona, with no comments when the second registers a good time after, then AFTER Vanessa's moved away to become a security guard, Vanny is still there somehow? And going through even more Therapists :V
@@higueraft571 Hmm, alright. That makes sense. Thank you for explaining that. Tbh, I probably forgot that part. I do hope that we will ge tto learn more about Vanny as time goes on in the games mostly, rather than in books. Because at the same time, I cannot tell if it's cannon or not.
