MKGirlism Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I was recently playing through the Japanese and American versions of Star Fox Assault, and I've noticed something very interesting. As you might have known, in the international versions of the game, the Aparoid attacks Krystal during the cutscene. However, in the Japanese version, the same Aparoid in the same cutscene attacks Slippy instead. So, what do you think? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Carson Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Well... I would say go with the version that was released first... But I've always interpreted the international version as the Aparoid attacking Krystal due to her psychic probing of it's mind. That seemed like the most reasonable explanation at the time, and still does. I don't know why it would choose to attack Slippy though... Then again, this game has a badly written story as it is. It doesn't surprise me that it would have consistency issues internationally. Doesn't surprise me at all... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylono Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I don't like the idea of Slippy having the uncanny dodge perk, so yeah, what Carson said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Orange Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Maybe the Japanese just really hate Slippy. Like with a burning desire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snys93 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I guess they figured that English speakers would identify with the damsel in distress thing, than an idiot, slapstick comic relief toad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Slippy having the uncanny dodge perk makes more sense than Krystal, he's a ten year vet on her noob tier experience :V But yes I do like the idea it shoots at Krystal because she's all SUCH STRANGE THOUGHT PATTERNS and its all CHARLES NO GET OUT OF MY HEAD also fuck off everyone calling Slippy an idiot, motherfucker built a tank out spare parts meant for a jet, I don't see any of you shit heels with even an iota of that amount of creativity or intellectual manpower >:V 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his voice wasn't in most cases so damn grating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Slippy's not a shit pilot, he's an over eager spastic pilot. The fact he even keeps up with Fox and Falco's talent or Peppy's experience says a LOT, and most of the time he gets chased because he's trying to pick fights and cash checks his tush can't cash. (Fact: slippy has less scripted chases than Falco or Peppy in 64 or Assault. So take that for what you will too.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylono Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Well, if you're going to be pedantic about it... Still dunno mate, I'd have an easier time believing an Arwing probably makes up for most of that keeping-up-with-the-rest of-the-team point you made.

Robert Monroe Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Yes, because a highly advanced vehicle requires no effort or personal input from a pilot to make effective use of it. That's like saying any idiot can be a race car driver with a fast enough care, don't be fucking dense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe not a professional race car driver, but I played enough GTA to know that street racing is a neat skill for some mad rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKGirlism Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Guys, calm down. I'd say, Slippy isn't as much of an idiot. I mean, can idiots invent and/or repair technology? Can idiots give a proper analysis of the enemy you're fighting at that moment? Well, in my opinion, both can make sense to some extend. On one hand, Krystal can be seen as a girl in distress, which happens very often in video games, but on the other hand, she would have seen that attack coming before it would happen. Slippy, even though he's a highly technical guy, is still a worse pilot than Falco or Fox, so if the Aparoid would attack any of these 2, they would have dodged the attack much more smoothly, and without yelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snys93 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Personally, I felt this would have been a perfect moment to kill off an inconsequential character, leaving a space open for someone more useful...just saying. By that I mean Slippy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 >inconsequential >slippy if youre baiting congrats you baited hard if youre serious then holy balls I don't even know where to begin with you who would even take his place? You would literally ahve to create a new character to fill his niche, which is like bad writing mistake 101 - never create a character to just replace another character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez ese, calm down and shut the front door. Take a chill pill, take a slow ride and take your shoes off, Mr. Edgelord.

Dr. Orange Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Personally I like slippy in the Tank better than in the air. He's a good pilot, just his VA annoys me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The VGM Lover Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 ... You know, we could just say that Aparoid doesn't give a flying pig who it attacks first. And yes. For once, I wanna see Slippy drive a tank in a Story Mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
