Dermot Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Pay no attention to the art styles - imagine the necklace being there (or not being there) no matter who the artist is or what the style is.Note that these are not pearls - they look to me more like Buddhist prayer beads. To me, they make Slippy look like a spiritual person.With necklace:Without necklace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Flare Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 OK, now I am definitely confused about Slippy's gender...... But seriously, he looks better without it. It's less misleading for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asper Sarnoff Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I say he should have lots of golden necklaces, tons of them. And a mohawk. :trollface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol-Ratcht Saporro Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Weeeeelllll, here's a possibility, both Slippy and Amanda are capable of reproducing asexually. Gender has no role. I don't know how they get orange, blue and violet kids from just pink and green. Must be a genetic thing.To the question at hand, Slippy looks ugly the same with or without the necklace so I chose "I don't care". I think we all can say that his hat is more of his trademark look.

Dermot Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 The only game I know of where Slippy had a high-pitched voice, was Star Fox 64. In Star Fox, Star Fox 2, Star Fox Assault, etc., his voice is recognizably male, and even baritone. Star Fox 64 was also the first game where his necklace was absent. It's not a girl's necklace, it's a necklace of prayer beads. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol-Ratcht Saporro Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Whoops meant to say prayer beads, because typically when I say necklace I think the common "girl-fashion" necklace. Most of the pearl like styles all the beads are the same size. There are some styles that look like prayer beads but they are still kept at a small size. Prayer beads are 5x the size of a common necklace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Why does no one like Slippy's old prayer beads? They were one of his trademarks. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew McCloud Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Well -I- like his prayer beads Dermot. Hell, Miyamoto thought up Starfox when he was at a Shrine in Japan afterall didn't he? That's probably where it comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even moreso when you remember they're full of KNOCKOUT GAS.Slippy is a hell of a motherhumper.I was hoping someone would remember this! If you're going to be a dude wearing any sort of beads, they kind of have to be badass, or you just get pegged as a dude wearing a pearl necklace (as this poll kind of proved).

Asper Sarnoff Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I actually forgot they were full of knockout gas. I ought to dig up the old Itoh comic and read it again some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
