there's always been a huge debate/flaming war about her so I wanted to show this video here.

If your trying to show a video, you just paste the url of the video and it should auto convert.
Works for youtube and a few other video providers.

But yeah, Poison is a trap.

Watched this vid a while ago, right before SFxT came out. Yep, Poison is a trap

It's weird. You can show people all the proof in the world... and there are some that refuse to believe it. Poison isn't (and never was) a natural woman. She's been a New-Half since day one. I don't get what's so hard to accept about that? I think it makes her story kind of unique. I mean how many transgender characters are there in fighting games (or most games for that matter)?

Personally I'm a fan of Poison and the new-half thing doesn't bother me. Never has.

I don't really care about Poison's gender, she does not looks like a man, she does not act like a man, and she does not seem to have the shorts content of a man (I mean she may have done a sex change surgery). And this make a variation, because in many game characters, whose is a "new-half" or an homosexual? Only her.

I see what you did there Ace

But seriously, it never bothered me what Poison's gender is. I'm usually more concerned with gameplay styles than backstory when it comes to fighing games

ehh i dont care anyway either cause i will still use her wether in mugen or in sf x tekken. but the back story on poison creation been said before, i said somethin about in a debate awhile back on here , poison was actually a woman first came out but because some executive heads raised eyebrows on the whole Man beating up on woman thing ( early 80 politics on gaming standards) they changed her to transgender to make it seem ok. But to be clearly real about what a real backstory on Poison is, there isnt one. Poison will forever remain an enigma. Best Idea

my brother said it pretty well for me in our discussion, " Poison isnt a woman, isnt a transgender, poison is whatever the imagination of the player wants her to be from the characters illusion on the mind and whatever capcom wants to either make you believe which she is or is not. Posion in the mind games. "

but

Naw Lando...

Poison is indeed NOT whatever you want her to be...! She's a DUDE! And always has been from day one! That thing about American gaming politics was a huge rumor that some idiot made up. The guy even shows you on the concept art before she was even made into a sprite!! DUDE! It's even in the instruction manual!!!!

rofl just like the video,"people will still protest even when evidence is right b4 them."

one could debate the video.......

i aint even debating that poison is really a dude.

. i am cool with just how posion is period. the whole newhalf thing doesnt matter to me cause i like playing as posion in the game. anyone that has serious issues with posion being a transgender has some self issues with oggling a transgendered dude to woman and may feel some sort of weird way which is why they want her 100 percent woman.

. hey to each his own but i do think its cool and interesting how they done this and i will keep playing as her . But yeah no love for roxy is just wrong.
