How do you do a strong female character right?

Attached: 1586352925573.png (800x840, 89.63K)

Like a male counterpart would be she shouldn't be ugly or a crybaby or trying too hard to prove she's a badass

Just a chick with a job to do

Simple, write a male character and then replace them with a woman.

She absolutely HAS to be a virgin, nonnegotiable

Make her a 10/10 in looks
Give her a personality
Give her a well written backstory
Give her genuine flaws

Terra is the perfect example of a female protagonist done right

Remodel her shithole

Why do all Samus pics posted have that ugly mole?!

i never saw terra as a STRONG female protagonist though

You... don't? Instead, you write a smart character or a jaded character or a naive one. The point is to make someone that will work in a story arc you've created even if the game is just a hack and slash. 'Strength' shouldn't be the goal of a character because that decreases tension, even when you are building her up that should just open new struggles for her and new threats.

You just don't.

Let the gameplay and to a much lesser extent, the story dictate that over trying to advertise the character as le strong and independent womyn who needs no man

1: make her hot
2: make her kill them bad guys
3: make her NOT talk
4: make her game good

Go to /lit/ and complain about retards using softcore porn images for the OP. There it is a real problem.

Put her in a woman's role instead of a man's.

Historically haven't most strong women been ugly af? I don't think that's have much in the way of strength, physical or spiritual

If you want men to like your strong female character, make her sexy. That's it. Everything else is a bonus.

Do the exact opposite of what Samus is.

Genuinely good question that warrants a lot of discussion.
Alright, everyone, serious glasses on. It's time for braintalk.

This guy here brings up an interesting point. Strength comes in many, many different forms. Remember that metaphor "Real strength comes from X?" Well, yeah, because we don't know what counts as "Strength" in the first place.

this this this

didn't they say they wanted to focus on more realism

which metroid were you filtered by?

You don't.

Men are always going to want to fuck her no matter what personality she has.

By remodeling their shithole.

It can't be done in modern society.

Dom material.

people dont really get it
for the time it came out, metroid was pretty groundbreaking since it had a woman in a role typically reserved for men, but society has covered a lot more ground since then and the desire for nuance has grown
not that its possible to have any sort of nuanced discussion on a laotian software development forum

What do you mean by “filtered”? All of them are casual trash that are easily beaten by button mashing.

Only brainlets think Metroid games are good. They’re JRPG tier in terms of low IQ bait.

Let's see some links then, friend.

Don't make her a feminist /thread

The biggest mistake is trying to make "[put any existing strong male character here] but female".

what would be the high iq alternative then?

Whatever you do don't include a scene in the story (if applicable) where she's about to be rped or sexually harassed. For some reason this tends to happen and them getting out of it makes them strong or something, avoid it if possible.

If a "strong woman" is "woman who do things man does" then it is shit.

She's strong because she found a reason to continue living & not commit suicide

give her big muscles

realism = grafix

them not getting out of it in full graphic detail is great though for character development

This.

Why are snoys so cringe?

I agree some of the games having the player repeatedly mash the A button to shoot a target continuously can get repetitive. I guess it depends but shooters generally play this way.

Girls can't be strong, equip them with science.

Quite literally by writing as if it's a dude then going back and changing all the 'she's to' he's. And by not making her looking like a subspecies of goblin.

make her constantly bully the player character

It's because it's a thing all women are afraid of, so a female character surviving past it emotionally is meant to prove her strength. Depending on context, this is an ok direction, but hack writers use it for every female character because it tricks stupid people into thinking the writing is mature.

If she can't knock you out with a single fart then she's not strong, simple as

Fighting games, Real-Time Strategy, anything competitive.

But if you have to play a game by yourself, then Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania (before Metroid cancer), Megaman, DMC, etc.

Except you have to aim in shooters.

Prime games have auto-aim. You cannot get more low IQ than this.

Please look up "sexualized" in a dictionary before you post something even dumber.

You're comparing a teenager that was barely starting to explore her sexuality with a grown woman with enough experience to be respected by the galactic police. Nice troll tho, I have a feeling TLOU2 will decide how good she really is.

Nothing fictional about that picture brother.

Everyone should be afraid of rape, even men can be raped if the offender is significantly stronger.

The Last of Us 2 is one of the most anticipated sequel in vidya history.

Meanwhile, Metroid 2 remake sold less than Fire Emblem 2 remake. Fire Emblem is considered a niche franchise, what does that make of Metroid then?

Only fat, greasy neckbeards that jack off to Samus play Metroid. It’s more niche than fucking Fire Emblem, what a joke. Yet Metroid nerds in this very thread would swear Samus is as iconic as Lara Croft or Chun-Li. She isn’t even as iconic as Lucina.

I can tell you never played all of them, even on the games not designed specifically for aiming there were occasions where you had to aim.

>6'3"

I agree

means "to be made sexual".
ellie is sexualized because there is literally no reason for her to be kissing some random girl in a reveal. In fact, there is no reason for her character to be lesbian at all. It's absolutely worthless and specifically designed for the lgbt crowd (a bunch of sexual deviants). Sony has admitted to this pandering.
Samus is pretty hot, but does that really mean she's been sexualized? It's just her character. I'm petty sure these trantoids complaining about Samus being sexualized are only angry because she's not a carpet munching lesbo freak.

Why do hate women so much Yas Forums?

Granted, but due to most men being straight and men being genetically designed to grow more muscle mass than women even without exercise, it's thought of as a female fear, thus why it almost always happens to female characters when it happens.

Samus is a blank slate and does not count as a character.

I could make a female avatar on Runescape and it will be a far more interesting character than Samus.

They're very different games though, I guess up until now Nintendo has not delivered a Metroid game with a solid story to accompany it but the games were never about exploring Samus's character too deeply to begin with. There were a few like Fusion which handled Samus's character more respectfully than Other M did. Besides those, we still don't have much else. Metroid is and plays like a game, Fire Emblem has a lot of lore and characters to carry the franchise.

because they are mean to me

Stick it in a suit of armor and pretend it's a male.

strength is not a female characteristic
that's why you always hear about "strong women"
my mother was a "strong woman", I'm a "strong woman". They need a qualifier
meanwhile if I say I'm a man you assume strength off the bat

so instead of trying to create a man with tits in your game, if you want to have an authentically female character she SHOULD be weak. you can lean into that with gameplay by being outmatched by everything

nigger she is a videogame character
having a recognizable design and being in a good game is all that matters.
in a game like metroid, her having a personality would only detract from it
no one cares about link or doom guy being blank but samus is a woman so no no no this is misogyny, lets give her le character development arc to make strong woman story

>strenght is inherent in a man
coming from someone in this place is even more ridiculous kek
