>Make a female mecha driver character >Make her Korean intead of Japanese
I don't get this
>But user Koreans make lots of mangas too like noblese and such
Yeah but most of it is porn(not complaining there) or fighting mangas, I have not seeing a single Korean mecha manga yet. My guess is Blizzard just wanted to appeal to Koreans since is their second biggest market, but why not use Mei instead?
>China is taking over the film industry soon and video games may follow soon too so why not start now?

What the fuck? The only way people would know D.va is Korean is her bio, she looks white as fuck. Kill yourself.
Bentley Powell
You realize autistic Koreans are most of Blizzard's playerbase
Justin Fisher
They made her Korean because they felt like it. There you go.
Robert Carter
I'm guessing in the future video games took the next logical step and were turned into RL arena shooters and shit. There's probably a lot of mech teams and since koreans play a fuckton of videogames why not make d.va a korean
Sebastian Garcia
She's a nod to blizzard's Starcraft players
Jonathan Nguyen
Yes, because your quality thread about shit no one gives a fuck about because you get off to anime samefaces is really inspiring.

Then why not put her in a dragoon power armor thing or something then? It'd be more or less the same thing, right? But all Starcrafty.
Mei looks like a white girl too, you can't even tell she's supposed to be Chinese. Which is weird, since when you look at the Asian guys (Hanzo and Genji's human skins) they're clearly Asian looking. Why are the Asian girls whitewashed?
Jose Mitchell
They couldn't just make Asuka right down to the personality, make her a nip, and have the reference be that fucking obvious. Also they allready got 2 other Jap. Stereotypes so is right.
At least the next patch will make her play like the first part of pic related, instead of the second part where the Defense barrier / AT field gets fucked and she gets wrecked.
Its funny how she's basically Asuka in playstyle too, you let people see failure instead of bosting away then you're fucked.
Jaxson Miller
She's not piloting a super robot that's why.
Jackson Anderson
I dunno, they probably had a dozen different concepts for her and just went with the mech through group-decision.
Brandon Lopez
>this fucking clickbait of a thread I swear to god if this thread reaches 100 posts
Daniel Sanders
She's Korean because she's a Starcraft 2 player.
The Koreans, like many other countries, used unmanned machines to fight wars, but when the Omnic Crisis happened that wasn't a viable option. Koreas method of dealing with this was that they reworked their existing mechs to be piloted.
Of course piloting a mech is a complicated procedure that requires fast reflexes with computer interfaces. Which is why the three-year-undefeated, highest ranked Starcraft 2 player, Hana Song ("D.va") was chosen as one of the pilots, because she has insane APM.
Her shield in game isn't even a shield. When she uses it she's actually shooting down every single projectile that goes into it, individually.

I recall seeing some concept art floating around and DVA was always going to be in a mech. The thing was she was going to be like 14 or something, but she was aged up to 19 now. People believe this is due to all the porn Overwatch generated quickly, but who knows.
Lincoln Rodriguez
You people are fucking retarded
Levi Reed
They wanted her to be a kawaii Japanese mecha pilot but they thought people would complain about MUH STEREOTYPES especially since the other 2 Japs are stereotypes so they thought to have their cake and eat it too by making her Korean instead.
Dylan Hall
You know the process of creating a character, especially at a studio like Blizzard, is to create like 6-10 different concepts internally and then you compare and contrast between them until you end up with the best one.
Jackson Rogers
>spreading cancer to a throbbing tumor Not much to whine about. Yet you do it so well.
Gabriel Lopez
Wait, but part of that APM is practicing the same game over and over until you basically live the game. Unless the entire mecha is controlled via mouse and keyboard with the same hotkeys as Starcraft, it's not like you can pluck a player out of the game and shove'em into battle. That's like saying "America as recruited the best Call of Duty players into the military and every single one of them are fucking awesome"
Kayden Robinson
Her whole thing is that she's one of those autistic Korean Starcraft players. Sure, the joke could work with a Japanese person as well, but it works better with a Korean. Also, who cares?
Leo Jones
>It's already cancer Yeah, because you're still fucking here weeaboo. Great logic.
Angel Baker
Yes, it's silly. So are many of the other character backstories in OW.
Joshua Diaz
Mei does look asian. I used to think otherwise, but then I saw a porn flick with an asian that looked like Mei and it was obvious.
Dylan Johnson
how video games and mecha even relate?
Christopher Russell
It's almost like the game is a work of fiction or something.
Connor Mitchell
I dunno, I think the only really silly ones are maybe Winston's (genetically modified gorilla from the moon) and Zenyatta's (a robot buddhist monk)
Liam Gray
Isn't this something the US military actually tried?
In any case a Korean mecha pilot is the most realistic option. If there's any company in the world capable of building battle mechas it's Samsung, specially compared to all japanese tech companies who have been belly flopping for decades.

Logan Howard
As long as diversity doesn't mean shoving niggers and kebabs where they don't belong I don't see how this is a problem. "Muh diversity" is pretty much the whole theme of this game so it's not like it's forced and out of place here. Besides, what's bad about adding chars from a bit more obscure cunts? I don't see anyone complaining about the medic chick being from Switzerland, and Switzerland isn't exactly the most relevant cunt in the world. >inb4 plebbit/shill I don't even own this game and blizzard can suck my dick

>Super Robots
wat, if anything Americans love super Robot more than Japaneses do, Japan is more into the political aspects and military aspects of mechas, reason stuff like gundam is so popular over there, even through the gundam is overpower itself, is not even close to a super robot.(at least in the UC universe)

Just now?
The plugsuit? Defense matrix looking like an AT field knock off? White rabbit skin is basically the 3.3 plugsuit for Asuka (plugsuits music and visuals being the only good things about that movie) it even changes MEKA to be similar to the Nerve logo.
Jesus its got a huge -03- on it too.

/m/ already agreed that the line between super robot and 'real' robot is pretty indistinguishable nowadays. Meaning you wouldn't be wrong to claim that a large percentage of Gundam and Mobile Suits/Armor are Super Robots in all but name.

>just realizing this now
Nearly every character in the fucking game is derivative, either in gameplay, design, character, or some combination thereof.
Nicholas Roberts
Why the hell is an RTS pro chosen for Overwatch, the skill doesn't translate AT ALL. Even in comparisons of video games, pretty much NONE of the starcraft pros got anywhere in competitive fps games.
James Jackson
game would have too many Japs if they made D.Va one
Anthony Thompson
that because /m/ is retarded, and even then you still see debates over what is super robot and mecha all the time there, is a flame that will never fade.
For me Mechas will always be sci-fi that your imagination allows you to think it can happen in real life, almost every military aspect of most gundams shows have this. You have to be a child if you can't see the difference between the sci-fi shows like Evangelion, Gurren Lagan, and Big O portraits as opposite to shows like Gundam, Macros, and code geas.

It looks and sounds spectacular.
But it was the last chance to shove some decent character development that didn't rely on the original, and they didn't.
I like that Misato and Asuka have walled themselves off emotionally like Gendo did, but there needs to be an ova during the timeskip for shit to be salvaged at all.

It's literally a white girl speaking Korean. They're about as Asian as the average weeb learning to speak Japanese

Parker Price
Son, this is a game where professional snipers joke about aimbots, and cowboys have belt buckles that say "BAMF". This is a fucking retarded game world. It's not serious at all (which makes the attempts to be serious in the promotional videos seem even more retarded than Blizzard's shit usually is).
Thinking about it will just make you angry. If you can't get over that, then I'd advise not playing Overwatch. I know I'm sure as hell not playing it.

Koreans absolutely LOVE to rip off Japanese culture.
They claim they hate Japan but in reality they're the biggest weaboos in the universe.
Virtually from their traditional culture, custom, arts, sports and cuisine to modern technology, economy and pop culture came from or was inspired by Japanese culture. Fucking Koreans have done nothing original in their lives. Even modern China is more original and unique than Korea.
D.va is a joke on this reality.
Also she sucks ass and is pretty much a containment character for waifufags and she's not even best girl.

How does South Korea even afford a mech program? Especially when Dvs is blowing them all up.

It not so much as a ripoff seeing as how the japanese fucks have basically tried to force their culture on them alot of times in history. Also manwha is the shit because it has color and better character designs.
Adam Watson
Japanese are literally, figuratively, physically, culturally and aesthetically inferior to the Koreans.
