might have been MI 1) does go into a tiny bit of detail on her grandfather training her to move silently and bribing her into that with anything she really ever wanted, and how that even impacted her with the beginning of MI2, where she uses training from her grandfather to throw the letter at Andy, catching him by surprise. its all focused on wow lol she fell in love w andy super early on and thats IT really. or even the enormous weight of being the last shiranui ninja. we never learn how she handled her parents death. a canonical creep and lecherous old man trope to a T) and training andy impacted her. but they really dont ever elaborate on how her grandfather basically passing all of her training off to his friend (who is yk. sure we get info on how her grandfather trained her and the tiniest inkling of stuff on her parents (that theyre dead) and how andy came to train with her grandfather when they were both pretty young. So what rly irks me (this is not number one but girls need to get their thoughts on her past out somehow and by god im doing it here) is how her past isnt really ever touched on except for tiny hints here and there. but she really does have more than that of just genuinely being a very kind person and very goofy, as well as a very talented and dedicated person. a tiny note on how she gets along w the womens team/terry and joe). tldr of it is wow shes cheerful, 2 full paragraphs dedicated to how much she loves andy, shes a "traditional and ideal japanese beauty" and like. that one really felt like they were treating her as a footnote and butt of the joke (which happens a lot of people being like wow girl you are crazy about andy) but it feels like in some of the endings (2003 comes to mind, where you get a tiny hint of woah theyre putting in that she cares about her friends and then its like no lol actually its just all about andy)Īgain i understand how the way that she is written doesnt really allow for a really good read on her as a character (her personality section on the wiki is fucking abysmal. not even to get into the team stories which are normally a bit better (96's has made me INSANE for weeks tho) but esp 99, that was really disappointing. So many of her endings are just either SO andy centric or just her getting drunk. get tiny hints of it but rly not much), or literally ANYTHING outside of the few traits we very vaguely get. i feel they really ignore a lot of things they COULD touch on (ie literally ANYTHING with her past, how she gets along w literally anyone on andys team outside of andy (we again. occasionally they try and throw in a bimbo angle. overthinking pro here, ill elaborate later if i remember), in LOVE with andy, and hot. 4 traits should work: mean to other women sometimes (mostly over appearance), SUPER irrational (which i dont believe but im also like. it really bled into how a fair bit of fans treat her as just a hot body and never really consider her personality or literally anything other than how her clothes fit or how they can make her outfit worse.īut it really to me feels that the devs were like ok. make her a sex symbol (which worked a little too well imo). like i understand fully that they are trying to yk. esp considering her development section on the wiki (of heres who her boobs and ass are based off of, how when they introduced her ""swaying bosom", the developers were awestruck". Now i know that its like a part of her character that shes super in love w andy and SUPER feminine (other than the ending for fatal fury special where she remarks that she needs to be less masculine) but it really feels like SNK just poured all the budget and effort into seeing how sexy they could make her/the physics of her animation (again iykyk). im biased due to hating andy (due to how he really treats her a lot of the time and just how her character is so so based around him instead of letting her be an actual character) Any other time its just maybe 45% "kyaa andy" and 5% lets have her have a nice time w her team. like its 50% of the woah shes a conventionally attractive woman and thats all the character development and depth shes given. Hi teehee kof rant (mai centric bc i have a problem etc) below the cut and all thatīurden of being a mai fan is having to see a million horrible pieces of content in each kof game (and fatal fury too my god) but it genuinely drives me insane how they write her in a lot of the games.
