Also, here's some concept art for Star Wolf from there.
>>388917230
Star Wolf looks utter shit.
>>388917147
>that star fox pose
>"tell me about star wolf, why does he wear the mask?"
>>388917230
>that Leon
>>388917230
Pig just look like those orc from dojins
>>388917787
Nah Pigma is consistent in design. Wolf got different eyepatch.
It's Leon who's massively different. Like holy shit.
>>388917404
>>388917565
Honestly I'm more surprised by them wearing capes. I was sure they were wearing jackets.
>>388918071
We never actually see their full body design. Assault was the first game to actually feature their full body render.
Also nips sure like drawing Leon very effeminately.
>>388918138
>Also nips sure like drawing Leon very effeminately.
Isn't that because of how he talks in the JP version?
>>388918460
Nah he talks similarly in English (there's no "cold calculating" shit people kept saying like in the English dub of 64, he's still sadistic and crazy in 64, just a bit more subdued)
I bet it's the legs and his shoes
Character bios for anybody here interested.
>Fox McCloud
>A capable leader who commands the >unquestioning loyalty of the Star Fox team.
>Falco Lombardi
>An ace pilot who enjoys a friendly rivalry with >Fox.
>Peppy Hare
>A seasoned veteran whose cool head and >wisdom holds the team together.
>Slippy Toad
>A somewhat jittery type who is prone to errors, >but it's hard to dislike him.
>Miyu
>An advocate of the old maxim, "The best >defense is a good offense".
>Fay
>The daughter of an aristocratic family, she has >relinquished high society and taken up arms to >defend her home planet.
>Mysterious Mercenary Squadron, Star Wolf
>Not much is known about the shadowy squad of >unscrupulous mercenaries known as Star Wolf. >Bankrolled by Andross, this four-person team >are wanted and feared throughout the galaxy, >and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
>Wolf O'Donnell
>This despicable criminal will betray anyone for >the right price.
>Leon Powalski
>An inscrutable and sinister alien.
>Pigma Dengar
>Arrogant and cruel, and possessed of a fiendish >strength.
>Algy
>Rumoured to be the most devious creature in >the cosmos, he exploits the weaknesses of his >targets with merciless precision.
>>388918654
Leon's bio in the Japanese stragedy guide calls him cold and heartless though.
>there are people who think the left one looks better
>>388919531
Yeah but they never match up
I mean you got stuff like how Wolf was supposed to be "Fox's old friend" but they never elaborated on that.
>>388920213
Where did you see posters say the left one is better?
>>388920532
elsewhere, basically because "muh original design"
>>388920213
fucking sexy man
I just want Miyu and Fey to be recognized at characters from now on and get an smash trophy and maybe appear in future SF games
>>388920815
I don't know. It looks rough but it is a rough draft. I could be swell if drawn by another artist.
>>388919256
Interesting. So Wolf's and Pigma's profiles aren't switched?
>>388922271
>>388919256
I find it hilarious how they literally have swappable personalities in the old game while later reincarnations gave them more defined personalities.
>>388922271
Going from his bio SF2 Wolf was supposed to be treacherous and greedy. They must have kept it for Pigma in 64 while making 64 Wolf more of a worthy rival for Fox.
>>388922465
all of them have variations of sinister, evil aliens
>>388922742
Wolf's dialogue makes him sound like he's yelling at Star Fox to get off his lawn. There's that.
>>388922956
all the more reason why he is inferior
>>388917230
That's one creepy lizard there.
>>388919256
>Algy
>When his Kana here >>388917230 clearly says Andrew
>>388923074
>>388917230 is early concept art
It doesn't have to match the final game
>>388923248
it's not even SF2 concept art, notice how they look more like their SF64 outfits
>>388917147
They gave Miyu a huge ass rack
>>388922984
I figure Star Wolf's (or Wolf's anyway) early version was supposed to be goofy and repeatedly getting mowed over by Star Fox. Team Rocket as space animals. I mean, Wolf just runs away while the rest of his team blows up.
>>388923305
If you look at the bottom right, there's a date there
It's hard to read but it looks like 94.5.29
It's SF2 concept art
>>388923517
Star Fox 64 started development when Star Fox 2 was also being developed. It's not a stretch that they made new designs for them that stuck. Especially since SF64 was a reboot.
>>388917147
>game manuals will never physically exist anymore
>game manuals will never be this in-depth or full of hints and tips anymore
>game manuals won't feature neat artwork that you can't really see anywhere else anymore
>game manuals will just be a fucking weblink that goes to some single sheet control scheme layout and games will continue having shitty long and tedious tutorial sections instead.
So which is a better look for the team:
>Poncho Star Wolf
>Space Biker Star Wolf
>>388924378
Wolf wearing nothing.
>>388924378The Star Wolf that's in Star Fox's pants.
>>388924757
togepi pls
>>388924378
the one who molests Fox
I want to commit a crime.
>>388919256
>The daughter of an aristocratic family, she has relinquished high society and taken up arms to defend her home planet.
I always thought that was just a common fan interpretation. I wonder where that originally came from since I don't remember any character bios from around the time the game was being developed.
>>388925829
how big is the age gap between the two
MIYU IS A FUCKING WOMANLET
>>388926401
I'm thinking she was based on Fara Phoenix from the comics with Itoh.
>>388926483
6-9 years
basically older than Fox but not to the point that it'd look like Card Captor Sakura creepy
>>388926483
He was an aquaintance of James McCloud while Peppy, James' friend, is shown as aged.
And for what it's worth, Wolf's intro dialogue when you fight him in SF2 makes him it look like he way older too.
>Brats! It's time for punishment!
>Detestable punks!
>>388926992
does that mean Wolf is daddy material? huh, I guess this means I have been fapping to dad x fuccboi
>>388927195
and there's nothing wrong with thatwe all ship them here
>>388927579
I mean, it makes it sounds like Wolf has some "intense heat" with Fox because of James or something, like some weird rival-con.
What is going on in this thread
>>388926784
Does that mean Fay was potentially going to be Fox's love interest?
>>388928069
Oh, also, I'm trying to load this PDF but for some reason all of the pages are blank. Is anyone else experiencing that?
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals/starfox2/imgeu/pdf/CLV-P-SADK.pdf
>>388917230
Leon looks like crap.
>>388928069
Maybe if she made it into the 64 Canon.
Actually, it might be they took from both Miyu and Fay (with Fara by proxy) when designing Katt. Miyu's kittyness and flirting (see her blowing a kiss when you click her) with Fara/Fay's romantic act (but put Falco instead of Fox).
>>388927813
>falls in love with father
>falls in love with son
nani
>>388928487
thank god Falco is asexual
>>388928652
it's in the genes
>>388928854
yeah but Fox is a fuccboi, I bet Wolf lets James top him
>>388928652
Wolf is a rival-sexual.
Speaking of Wolf, is he an underrated Nintendo husbando? I mean, does he pop out frequently when it comes to video game male picks?
>>388928936
wolf would be a perfect power bot for james
>>388929118
I see James as a top personally, unlike his son who screams "pound me" that even Krystal probably would dom him.
>>388917147
>that pose
>>388929208
would james be disappointed with his sonor take advantage of it?
>see thread when it had two posts, check in, cool stuff
>check thread now
>gay furry thread
This is why Miyamoto made Starfox Zero.
>>388929572
well a see a canid sandwich
James -> Wolf -> Fox
>>388921017
I don't like modern Wolf's costume. It makes no sense for a pilot. A captain of some kind maybe, but as far as we know Starwolf only has their individual ships
>>388929617
go blame the shitty Star Wolf art
>>388929637
in Assault, he was leading what seems to be the head honcho of a station full of ne'er do wells
>>388929051
Often enough, considering the state of his series.
>>388929617
miyamoto made zero to retcon krystal
>>388917230
Leon's feet!
Star Wolf looked so much better in the other versions.
Still hyped, though.
>>388917147
interesting that they even put up some of the design documents
>>388928142
Shows up just fine for me
>>388920213
Both are shit. I don't know what it is with Nintendo and this series. How hard is it to design appealing cartoon animals?
The fuck are they gonna do if (never) they make another Starfox?
Follow Zero? Or follow this game? Or reboot again?
>>388932420
Nintendo didn't do the sexy Wolf on the right.
>both are shit
>>388932908
star fox 2 remake perhaps?
>>388932908
Gay furry visual novels.
I like Krystal and Miyu
>>388933518
>that fanon where apparently Wolf and Lucy got together because the rabbit in Fox's team has Wolf's color and demeanor
im-fucking-plying Wolf fucks a girl
>>388933606
It's ok to be gay, Anon. But that doesn't mean everyone is.
>>388934070
yeah but like, Wolf never obsesses with anyone but Fox
in Command he even acted like some tsundere prostitute towards Fox.
