Robert Monroe Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I don't really hate her, as much as her effect on the series. XD She is Base Breaker, The Scrappy, Spotlight Stealing Squad and The Artifact. And being Ms Fanservice all the while with a Most Common Superpower doesn't really help endear her either. This is a very old fandom issue - just get used to it. X3Except Krystal did nothing to the series directly, not even cause Peppy to retire, as he was retired at the start of SFA before Fox even knew who Krystal was. If anything she's untapped potential as a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkyway64 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 We all know Dermot only hates Krystal for taking up Fox and ruining Fox/Falco and Fox/Wolf shipping. It's hard to hate cardboard unless it papercuts you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when she was, I was like, "Hell no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD And also made it less likely Fara would appear.To be honest, in some of my early fanfic ideas in the 1990s, I had Fox dying, and James coming out of his interdimensional exile to lead Star Fox again.

It's just he wasn't getting chased anymore. And Fara isn't really game-canon. She wasn't going to appear with or without Krystal, most likely.

They may have chronologically not intersected, but they were written as part of the same story. So, in essence, Peppy was retired to give Krystal an introduction as his future replacement.And while Fara didn't appear in any game other than an early beta of Star Fox 2, she still appeared in the highly-influential 1993 comic series, which was released in gradual installments as a companion to the first game. She was spiritually present, even if not scripted in the first game itself. X3Fara was interesting and dignified as a character. Krystal struck me not only as "the not-Fara", but also as having most of her personality in her breasts and rump. My female friends from the old MouthOff scene cannot stand Krystal, and neither could I. XD Star Fox games need more character development that doesn't involve pointing your eyes downward or playing cheesy sexophone music.

When Rare wrote SFA, it wasn't intended for Krystal to be a pilot. Peppy was written out as retired as one of the first conversions of Dinosaur Planet to SFA. You are making a fallacy of association As for Papetoon, I mentioned it because it became canon in Command, and it originated in the SNES comic.

Milkyway64 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Robert already covered the Peppy issue.Fara was interesting and dignified as a character.

My female friends from the old MouthOff scene cannot stand Krystal, and neither could I. XD Star Fox games need more character development that doesn't involve pointing your eyes downward or playing cheesy sexophone music. Only Krystal has everything she needs to be respectable, it's just nothing has been done with it yet because StarFox is not a plot heavy game, as opposed to comic books which are nothing BUT a story. Fara has had an "unfair" advantage to being developed.As for Papetoon, I mentioned it because it became canon in Command, and it originated in the SNES comic.Well damn.

Vy'drach Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 hm , lets also make it a happy ending command was sad also kyrstal's character was perfectI hope to all that is holy, unholy, and in between you aren't saying Krystal's character was perfect in Command. It went against everything in the earlier games, instead of "Being of a kind nature," she was stoic and sometimes outright aggressive. Some others have gone so far as to use the wording, "Raging bitch." Though I wouldn't say that (Mostly because I don't want to say that about Krystal).
