Hitomi "The Fist of Innocence"

Monday, June 7, 2010 by Yoshinen | 0 comments

I just had a flash back of when I was still pretty much an arcade gamer. The days when tokens are the real hype. And then I remembered the only "fighting game I played -- next to Tekken -- which is Dead or Alive. And now I present to you... Hitomi!

Hitomi is a German-Japanese High School girl and a karate expert from the Dead or Alive series, debuted in Dead or Alive 3. She has been practicing the art of karate under her father's tutelage since she was a child.

Hitomi entered the Dead or Alive Tournament either to prove her skills and/or to see Ein. It is unclear whether she actually knows that the amnesiac, martial art prodigy that she once knew was actually Hayate, a shinobi master and leader of the Mugen Tenshin clan.

Although Japanese, Hitomi has a more western appearance than Eastern overall: she has bright blue eyes and shoulder-long brunette hair, which is styled with long side-bangs and a front fringe, normally pushed back with a pink headband. Throughout the series, her height and bust measurements have change, through only by a couple of centimeters: In Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, she's 161 cm tall with a 89 cm bust; in Dead or Alive 4, she's 160 cm tall with a 90 cm bust, and in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, she's 158 cm tall with a 89 cm bust.

Her clothing also bears a western-feel, consisting mostly of jeans, tank-tops and denim jackets, complete with protective fighter's gloves. A running detail on her jeans is that the back label always bear the initials of the game she's in; for example, in Dead or Alive 4, the ladel reads "DOA4." Hitomi also sometimes sports her own embalm, mostly printed on her top or the back of her jacket. The embalm, in its simplest form, is the shape of an eagle with fanned-out wings. More detailed versions of the emblem show the eagle in greater style, holding a banner in its talons with Hitomi's name upon it. Phrases like "Thanks for the fight" and "My fists are on fire" may also be printed on it.

Hitomi can be considered the successor to Ein, in terms of fighting technique and statistics. However, Hitomi is slightly faster, compared to Ein's strikes being somewhat more powerful than hers. She has the strongest punch techniques amongst the females characters.

Hitomi's fighting style relies on quick, medium-damage strikes, and her recovery time frame is excellent. Her tell-tale "wind-up" shared with Ein, however, is a popular counter-attack weakness for her, and the majority of her attacks lack good mix-up's, which means that most high-to-mid holds are effective against her. Her "interruption attacks" however (such as the Tsubauchi) are competent in keeping the opponent off-guard, as well as making Hitomi preferable for aggressive players.

Tifa Lockhart

Friday, June 4, 2010 by Yoshinen | 0 comments

For my character of the day... My favorite game gal of all time, I give you Tifa Lockhart!

Tifa is a Female protagonist in Final Fantasy VII. She is Cloud's childhood friend -- the game's main character -- from Nibelheim, and a member of AVALANCHE, an eco-terrorist insurgent group. However, her personality is much more laid back and selfless in comparison, with a motherly streak concerning all her friends and her attitude to others. Tifa is quick to hide her own feelings from people, her shyness is the key aspect of her character, and she is caring and loving to a fault. Tifa owns a bar in sector 7 of Midgar, names 7th Heaven, which also serves as AVALANCHE's hideout.

Tifa was named the pinup girl of the "cyber generation" by the New York Times, and since has been compared to Lara Croft, as an example of a strong, independent and attractive female character in video games. IGN and UGO.com have both repeatedly praised both the character's appearance and strength as well as one of the best female characters in gaming, while Play named her "the most adored" of the Final Fantasy series' female characters. In 2007, Dengeki Playstation named her the eighth best fictional character of all time to appear in games for Sony Playstation.
