Opinion of Krystal

[Dermot]

This poll investigates an old and always-controversial question in the Star Fox fandom.

For obvious reasons, please keep comments as civil and respectful as humanly possible.  In fact, try not to comment at all unless what you say is conciliatory and enlightening.  In particular, respect the opinions of others, no matter how much those opinions may differ from your own.

The underbrush is highly flammable - only you can prevent forum fires.

I say that we focus on her character,

rather than her looks... (althrough you

may differ).

To me, it is cool that she is as... 'unique'

as she is. I mean, she is the only SF team

member than can actually use magic or something

related to it, plus the addition of not-uberized psych

powers. But this is me. I can not say that I do not

like how she looks - but hey, Slippy does not look

like a 'Really cool' guy and he IS. Even if he is not

a skilled pilot, he is the one that made the Blue Marine,

fixes the Arwing and Landmasters, after all.  ...

What I mean is that every member of SF has a 'special

trait(s)'. While it may seem not that important to some, to me

it is important to remember those traits, not simply the looks.

Allthrough I have to admit that the looks do add a certain

feel of 'coolness', it is NOT everything - After all, just because

you look cool does not means that you can defeat Andross...

You have to get in an Arwing and defeat him, the hard way

preferably. 

So my vote is strongly like. But, to clarify, I 'Strongly like'

ALL SF characters... I said this somewhere else, I think.

Maybe not in the same 'category' -

but they do have their cool, yes.

Pigma for example could be a fat**s and a greedy liar.

But, to me, he is comical, and that is where he shines.

"Long time no sime, Peppy old pal!" his voice added to it.

Andrew too, I see him as a comical character.

"Uncle Andross!" - The first time I heard those two I

went LOL!, really.

We never see James 'doing' something really cool,

be it is that mistery surrounding him that 'makes him'

cool...

Just some examples. But that is me, after all.

I voted for strongly like. She is my second favorite character after all. I don't like her to the point where I 'want' her or want to marry her. I like her for her character, not her design although I admit it is appealing.

[Asper Sarnoff]

A bit between "Somewhat like", and neutral. I voted for "Somewhat like", because I think it's a tad closer to that.

Yes I focus on her Character the kindness the caring although her looks aren't that bad ,but i don't focus on that subject this is why I prefure Kursed she's not going to be seen as much as a sex icon.

Strongly like  she is my favorite sf character because dagnabbit she's the only female currently consistent with the series since adventures. This brings me back to another thing that's been bugging me

BRING BACK MIYU AND FaY

[Guest FoXXX]

I bet you guys are just dying to see what I got to say

I like her because she's unique and a bit of a mystery, also, she's Fox's girlfriend

I also like her body :)

["User"]

I like her because she's unique and a bit of a mystery, also, she's Fox's girlfriend

I'd think you'd be jealous of that as opposing to liking her because of that fact. 

I also like her body

Indeed

As for myself I voted strongly like.  She's the one that got me back into the series after a long hiatus which started around 2000 or so.  I never ended up playing Adventures until around 2008 since I wasn't into Gamecube back then.

Oh...and yeah, she's hot :P

[Guest FoXXX]

I'd think you'd be jealous of that as opposing to liking her because of that fact. 

Fox is my favorite guy So I automatically like his gf :)

["User"]

Fox is my favorite guy So I automatically like his gf

"Automatically" eh?  That implies you would like any GF Fox had...no matter how...well, you know :P

[Guest DRL]

"Automatically" eh?  That implies you would like any GF Fox had...no matter how...well, you know

Unless it is...

'Amanda'.  :lol:

["User"]

Unless it is...

'Amanda'. 

Indeed

I'll wait for FoXXX to reply before I put my witty sarcastic comment :)

[Mr. Foxer]

Really doesn't need a poll. Anyway Krystal's fine with me, might just be 'cause I'm a furry.

[Guest FoXXX]

Unless it is...

'Amanda'. 

Fox isn't that crazy, only girlfriends he has had that I know of is Fara (In the comic) and Krystal...

[CrypticQuery]

Somewhat like.  I prefer Fara *slightly* more, but Krystal is still awesome :P

[Scott7]

Strongly like,

She has good physical appearance but like Kursed and DRL i like her for her personality, a Pure soul which most people in our world don't have, and her mysterious backround. (which i don't care about as much as i used to since i have a feeling i already know it)

But i worry the speculation surrounding her may be the cause of the absence of the series. after finding out of how much disgusting fan artwork of her is all over the internet it would only make sense that Nintendo wouldn't make another game! (especially with their new policy for keeping things "family appropriate" which makes me want drive my head through a concrete wall)

But even if the series does crumble, i'll still see her and the rest of the team as my Childhood Heros :roll:

To be honest, I'm not sure Nintendo was ever fond of her.  They didn't really create her.  Rare did.  Star Fox Adventures started as an unrelated Rare title, then retrofitted with the Star Fox license - the only real change Krystal underwent in the process was turning from a blue cat into a blue fox.  Krystal proved popular in the Western markets, and stayed on board in the next two games.  But she proved a divisive character.  Immensely popular with new fans, she was received with far more division among the older fans and in the critical Japanese market.  Nintendo writers didn't really know what to do with her, and they have been increasingly unkind to her.  Depending on the path Star Fox Command takes, Krystal is treated well, or is cast out almost entirely.  Unknown which (if any) of these endings will be canon.

That's why I set up this poll.  I'd noticed in the least popular character poll that (at that time) 9 out of 38 users had voted Krystal their least favorite character.  I was curious exactly how these statistics unfolded in a deeper dimension of measurement (rather than mere stark extremes of most popular or least popular).

[Guest FoXXX]

I wish the Japanese would like Krystal like I do :(

[Matt Macdowel]

Strongly like

She got me into starfox and she also in my video game the conqurers. I love her atteted and skills!

I already knew about Dinosaur planet and its progress, but you do raise another point that has begun to worry me even more... 

but i'm not worried to much about the cannon, in the beggining of command the path you take is pre-set and must be finished before you can pick your own. to me thats the sign of the true ending so its likely that the other story's were just an added bonus, though i could be wrong....

I wish the Japanese would like Krystal like I do

Eh.. each side has their own oppinion on the series, i really don't think the country's make much of a difference for how the games get prepared (or started at all).

heck, thats sometimes the reason why they make a game for one side or the other. So for all we know the next starfox could made for only the united states! XD

A minor detail, but Krystal was...

Violet/Purple in Dinosaur Planet.

Also, I really think that the

whole 'divisonal' thing is rather

foolish/stupid. I know, Dermot,

that you and many others do not

like her, but that does not means

to me thaqt Krystal is the problem.

To me, it was the fans lack of...

Understanding towards each other

that made such thing. Plus,

there are TOO FEW Star Fox games

to please everyone. What I mean

is, there are lots of Mario games,

spin-off and whatelse, but Star Fox

ha only 5 games, plus a leaked beta,

which to say, it is not as much as the

other series Nintendo has. Even Zelda

has more games, and we should point

out that it has been the same thing

over and over again in most cases.

Same happens to Pokemon, yet,

it still has lots of games.

Trouble is, that being so few games,

it is easy to affect it's fanbase, which

to say, is not as large as the other ones.

Not entirly true, but is still a valid oint at the same time.

i remember going through the museam in brawl and noticed that kirby had alot more games then most other's on the list, including maroio and pokemon,  :P

[Dermot]

Oh, just because the base is broken, doesn't mean there should be a holy war. :3 The camps must just coexist.  Anyone should be allowed to like or disfavor a character without triggering an online backlash for that fact alone.

While Rare did design Krystal as a 16 or so year old cat-girl originally for Dinosaur Planet, it is because of Nintendo that she is here, especially in her current form. Rare was going to scrap her when they were refitting Dinosaur Planet, but Nintendo told them not to do it, and to make her a 19 year old fox instead.

It seems to me Nintendo had at least some form of plan for her, but it remains to be seen whether that plan comes to complete fruition.
