"The Kyoko Minazuki thread" , posted Mon 15 Dec 17:38

I've been thinking about it, and I really think that she's my favorite character.

Kyoko Minazuki, the "devilish school nurse" as she's refered in Evolution 2, a somehow classic character, that really worked in the three Rival Schools games. She has many of the factors that I like in female characters (not being an annoying little girl, glasses, sexy attitude, high heels...) and her gameplay is really interesting as well.

Anyway, I'm making a sprite rips site, and I've mirrored what I've captured on Kyoko in here (since I won't direct link to my sprite rips site, I don't want to kill its fragile Geocities bandwith limit).

What are your views on her?

Fun character, and has a neat play style and one of my favorite team up supers. But I think I like a few other Rival School Characters more (Akira, Zaki, etc)...

Still, I'd kill for her to be in another game. Or in a Rival Schools 3...

Your rips inspired me to play through Project Justice again in her team's story mode (among others). Pity the series isn't more popular because even if we couldn't get another game, we could at least get an anime. There's definitely enough story here to support one.

Of course there's doujin... but those don't take the story where I want it to go. :p

It's funny to play Kyoko vs Momo-chan. Because of the difference in height she can barely hit the little shrimp.

Kyoko's character model for the board game in Project Justice is also very cute, but then all the SD versions of the female characters are cute.

She was the first character I really learned how to use in Rival Schools, and is one of my anchors, so to speak. Then I branched out and ended up with some variant of Kyoko-Edge-Akira-Zaki-Daigo-Gan-Natsu team in Project Justice (oh come now, you can totally tell which Story mode I play through all the time just looking at that).

I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.

One of Capcom's best character designs... not a big fan of the game.

You know I totally love her. As you said, the attitude, the looks (sexy glasses!), and the gameplay (but, why fooling myself, mainly the first two :P) makes her one of Capcom's best female designs.

Also, thanks for the rips, because I've only played "regular" RS, so I didn't knew the images in the Evolution disc. And some of them are really good! :D~

EDIT: Don't you just love her step-grab super? I surely do, specially when I see the frustration face of my friends after being grabbed for the nth time!

Most of the rips are from Evolution 2 actually, a seond RS game that never was released outside Japan, and was basically an improvement over the Japanese Evolution disc, with a better school life more (more dating sim-alike than ever) and unlockable goodies. It also introduced Ran (great!) and Nagare (blah), and Raizo's "sexy" clothes (argh) that Burning Batsu uses in PJ.

I totally do not mean to be a jerk with the following statement. I'm just bringing it up because I like Kyoko too.

Isn't it Kyoko Minaduki, Minadzuki or Minatzuki, however you want to romanize it? du = tsu with dakuon (the two little marks).

It was romanized as Minazuki in the US versions of the games, and I've never seen an official romanization on japanese official sites, so...

A nice mature woman design. But not too much my kind of gameplay...

And you forgot an important part about her : her voice.

Ah, Kyokyo. How she can manage to kick while wearing heels and that skirt is beyond me. Nice job on setting up the screengrabs of a very nice character.

I was just playing PJ today mainly trying out my created characters against Kyoko and I found she has an alternate outfit (chosen with Y button) where her coat is black instead of white and her hair is the same color at the girl in Rid's sig. Like an evil version of Kyoko. I'd really like to see some 2d art of that version. :)

Really? Wow :)

I really like to play with her, especially to see her bouncing backbreaker super.
And I agree that she has an awesome design. Killer long collars banzai!

Being the local RS resident here, I couldn't pass up this topic.
Ms. Bounce as we like to call her is one of the more intersting characters capcom made.

She has some great moves and some funny comments in the evolution games ( and she could out drink any man ). However I find it even funnier that they gave her a hidden option in RS1. I know it was to test out the dule shock controlers, but geez! Anywho it was funny, and my cousin love to play it.

btw nice sprite rips ^_^

Nice to hear from rsnetwork's daala -my mates and I have always been rabid Justice Gakuen fans, and Kyoko's topnotch among a really entertainingly-designed cast! Getting your suspicious-looking back massage in the middle of battle in Justice 1 with Kyoko's Two-Platon teamup move, along with the whole fighting-in-heels thing was always impressive! The only cooler design in the whole game's gotta be Daigo, who'd never need to see the nurse. (Then again, friends were taking to using Raizo "just once, for fun" last time we played, and sometimes winning. Yikes.)

the first time i saw rs was at the arcade game show (aou?) at the makuhari when they were just revealing it. when i saw kyoko and that fat glasses teacher do the street fighter anime movie ending double team i creamed my pants.

too bad the actual gameplay mechanics in rs are so buggy / choppy. if the gameplay wasnt so flippy, it would be one of the best capcom series' ever.

i think that show was also the one where tecmo showed doa2 (with the new tag feature). my god that was an amazing game show for fighting game fans.

Just an extra I did, Tiffany rips right here. Funny thing, she has easily some of the best clothes in the school life mode, and I like all of them more than her in-game ones.

In most Japanese to English dictionaries they'll tell you that tsu + dakuon = zu.

Minaduki? Sounds like a Russian-Japanese accent to me. O_o

Love the character though.

In the modified Hepburn system, which is the system every good fellow with a pure heart use, tsu + tenten = zu.
After Sailormoon, there is no pure heart left in Japan.
