Isn't Eagle (FS, and CvS 2) suppose to be Irish? Hmmmm.... I can't really think of anyone else though...

Let's picket and block traffic and form an anti-defimation-of-Irish special interest group and attribute things to racism that have nothing to do with the subject! just kidding of course.
um.... Krizalid is Irish. That's all I can think of right now.

Yeah, we need more Irish characters and.... AAARGH! I spilled my coffee in my lap while I was playing GGXX..... so it must be the game's fault! Let's go sue Guilty Gear XX!

He is. This is JJJ we're talking about here.

It would be shameful if they put an Irish fighter in fighting games.
They would probably make him a red-headed, green clothes wearing, Lepricon sounding, Big buff dude. That drinks beer a lot.
You know, they'd stick every steroe type in there.
P.S. I have nothing against Irish dudes.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.

the hell are you talking about?
oh yea, and i gave it some thought ... and if my theories are correct and the islands fit their countries in Eternal/Skies of Arcadia (Ixa'Taka = the Americas, Valua = Spain, Blue Rogues = Pirates of England), then there's a good chance that Aika may be Irish. what do you think?

Amen to that!
Yes,there should be more Irish in games. All I can think of is Krizalid.
Yes,Eagle is English.
Oh,there is another one. From this dumb game called Black and Bruised for the PS2. Shitty ass game. >< I forget his name,though.
Actually,JJJ,thanks! You just inspired me! I'm gonna try designing an Irish character.

You mean all that effort to start up a petition for a game based off of the Leperchaun movies has been wasted?
Pedro Voice: So very NOOOOOOO!
And we've forgoten what most games lack in terms of characters, and that's a playable Satoshi_Miwa. I feel I am being discrminated against by not being in games, and that if included in said games I could be a very fun character...

What's up with game designers today? They don't represent the Swedish midget population properly. Damn racists! Midgets aren't good enough for them, I guess. WE NEED MORE SWEDISH MIDGETS IN GAMES!!!
Somebody should start a midget petition, to get it through their heads.

It just occurred to me, we need a fighting butler and a fighting farmer in a fighting game. They aren't accurately represented!! We need more political correctness in games!
, posted Mon 17 Mar 09:09
we also need more Jewish characters in games, why isn't this race represented? same thing with the Australian race, what's up with all this racism and stuff?

Oh hell yea! His moves from his opening monolouge alone is enough for a movelist.

You could just imagine N. Prince from Super Punch Out! is Conan. They look almost the same.

Here's a question for y'all. Would this be a bad character design? Is the only reason why this would be bad because it has characteristics associated with Irish? If I made an Irish video game character should he have no Irish characteristics so as not to be a "shameful stereotype"?

Man, I say do whatever. There's no way you'll please everyone. Especially in America, where our national pasttime is getting "offended."
