I know shotos can get boring, but c'mon boring characters are at least better than wannabes or copy cats
People whining about this confuses me. Yes, K9999 is an homage to Tetsuo. Tetsuo's seiyuu does his voice, his SDM is straight out of Akira, and his lines with Kusanagi in 2002 are pulled directly from the film's script. I suppose the question is where does the line between homage and ripoff end. Personally, I'd like to think that if they're not trying to hide the fact that he's almost exactly the same, it's an homage.
Or perhaps people just like complaining for the sake of complaining.
Oh, and UD Fred, she's supposed to be making bull horns with her fingers when she blows a raspberry. It's most likely another pro wrestling reference/in-joke...

For the record I'd like to add that the Moon DM is also taken from the movie, I'm not sure from where, but if I remember correctly is when Tetsuo is fighting the army.

My problem with K'9999 is that he brings nothing new to the table. In the past when other characters have been appropriated for games there has been an attempt to give them something to make them a new character in their own right. For example, Benimaru may have borrowed his fashion sense and hairdo from Polnereff but they are still seperate characters. When I look at K'9999, however, I don't see a character that is inspired by an outside source instead all I see is Tetsuo with two problem arms instead of one.
