Speaking of the one-eyed character in arcade games, who first comes to mind? The first thing that comes to mind is classic characters such as "Warring States Blade" Ayi, "Samurai Shodown" Liusheng Ten Guards, "Punisher" Nick Fury, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Xiahou Huan and other classic characters, and the lost eyes of Lukar and Hadiran in the "King of Fighters" series have also had some more interesting plots.
Lukar asked Storm Gonitz to transfer to One-Eyed, while Hadron asked Lukar to transfer. Eventually the distant member Shroom forcibly takes Hadelan's blindfold and transfers himself.
In many anime works today, there have been more classic blindfold beauties, such as the more familiar garden lily suzu, Nakatsu Shizuryo, The Bird Yu rokuhana (color pupil), Tokizaki Crazy Three, Sakamoto Mio, Mizaki Naru, and Ayapoli. Of course, these goddesses who wear eye masks are not really blind in one eye, and the role of the eye masks is often decorations, increasing attributes or sealing ability.
I remember the first time I saw the long waves of the "Kuiba 3" ship, I really thought that she had lost one eye after a long time, until she explained that she could switch it herself, we didn't understand that her eyes were good.
There have also been many beautiful women with eye masks in arcade games, and their eyes have an unusual experience. Today, Xiaobian will summarize with you that the popular "eye mask beauties" in arcade games are super popular.
The real mirror name Mina
In your memory, are there games that you have not played, but are very familiar with the characters of the game? The samurai shodown series of color, the real mirror name Mina and Iroha, Catwoman, Molica and Lily in "Demon Warrior", and the now popular 2b sister. These highly popular female characters are not only the core characters in the game, but also the favorites of the illustrators, and it is for this reason that these classic characters have become household names.
The Samurai Shodown series has seen many classic characters, such as Nakoruru, Limlulu, Cham cham, and Charlotte. At that time, snk did not intend to use the eye-catching method to gain popularity, so the personality was decent.
Later, with the market demand, SNK also began to create some eye-catching classic characters in the Samurai Shodown series. For example, Angelette in Samurai Shodown, Saya Kazuma in Samurai Shodown, Samurai Shodown 64, and Iroha, the first swordsman in Samurai Shodown 6, these highly popular characters have expanded the popularity of the game.
The real mirror name Mina is a character who first appeared in Samurai Shodown Zero, and her mysterious backstory and simple and brutal attack methods have become the most popular characters in the game. Unfortunately, Samurai Shodown Zero was only released in the age of arcade games. If it had been five or six years earlier, the popularity would have been comparable to True Samurai Shodown and Samurai Shodown 4.
In fact, in the original original design, the real mirror name Mina even had a more simple shape, that is, two pieces of cloth were included. It seems that the designers at that time also had a relatively large heart, eager to create a role with super popularity.
After this, the true mirror name Mina became the representative of samurai and participated in a variety of game parodys, and was also a very popular character in the game. He even participated in some fan works, which greatly satisfied the curiosity of the audience, and it turned out that gao leng zhenjing was also an approachable girl.
By the time of Samurai Shodown, The True Mirror name Mina joined the game as a dlc character. Once made many players crazy, you know that the figure displayed in the 2D era has been so hot. Under the 3D effect of HD reset, it is not an eye-catching blockbuster. The final release of the effect did not disappoint the player, the flesh of the body with the classic shape, to meet the players for many years of fantasy.
However, to the surprise of the players, the real mirror name Mina actually wore an eye mask. What really happened during this time?
In the opening scene of Samurai Shodown, we can learn that the eyes of the original mirror name Mina were invaded by evil qi, and then the blindfold was put on. So where does this evil gas come from?
In the ending of the previous work, Chaburu, the little pet of the true mirror name Mina, is awakened by the evil qi and transforms into a demon again, at which time the true mirror name Mina realizes that the murderer who has been searching for many years is actually it.
It was in this form that Chabru destroyed the entire village. The Mirror who discovered the truth could not accept this fact, but had to follow his promise and kill Chabru with his own hands. After losing Chabru, Makoto felt that he had no point in surviving, and finally chose to commit suicide.
By the time of Samurai Shodown, this ending had been slightly modified. After years of strength, True Mirror and Chabru have established a deep relationship, so True Mirror absorbs all the evil qi from Chaburu's body into his body, and then uses a seal to attach to Chaburu's head to keep it in this form forever.
After the evil qi invaded, it was eroding the body of the true mirror at any time, her eyes were corroded by the evil qi, and the true mirror had to wear an eye mask to avoid the leakage of the evil qi, and she understood that only by eliminating the source could she truly be liberated.
After defeating Shizumi, Makoto finds that the evil qi in his body has been taken away, and he has also ushered in a new life. Unveiling the real mirror of the blindfold, he took Chabru on a new journey.
Mai Zhuo
It is estimated that even Snk himself did not expect that Wei Si and Mai Zhuo, who were killed by the eight gods in "King of Fighters 96", would actually have such a high popularity. However, it has been announced that they are too dead to appear in subsequent works, so for many years Weiss and Mai Zhuo can only participate in some versions without plot or sequels, such as "King of Fighters New Wave", "King of Fighters 98", "King of Fighters 2002" and other games.
In the "King of Fighters 12" period, there was actually an image of Mai Zhuo wearing an eyepatch. People who have generally declared their deaths are unlikely to have new looks! Each time the King of Fighters series completes a chapter, it will launch a version of the brawl without a plot, such as "King of Fighters 98", "King of Fighters 2002", and later "King of Fighters 12". However, when 12 was launched, the distant chapters were not yet finished, so everyone thought that the comeback of Mai Zhuo and Wei Si was promising.
In "King of Fighters 13", Mai Zhuo and Wei Si really returned, and they also appeared in the plot and teamed up with Hachijin-an. At this point, we learned that the reason Why Mai Zhuo put on the blindfold was that the blood of the Great Serpent had awakened, and the location of the Great Serpent's mark was in the left eye. Therefore, in order not to divulge this secret, she had to wear an eye mask, which would only be revealed for a moment when it was opened.
In fact, when Madrasson and Weiss were killed in "King of Fighters 96", we thought they were just small characters. However, after seeing their awakening power, I knew that the Eight Jie Ji was indeed worthy of the name.
Spider-like
Spider's eyes are blinded during a terrorist attack, after which Seth installs a feng shui engine for her. With this feng shui engine, the combat effectiveness is greatly improved.
During the "Street Fighter IV" period, Han Spider-Li's combat effectiveness far surpassed Chunli, Jamie and Gu Lie, and all three of them suffered heavy losses under her, and even Chunli was almost killed.
By the time of "Street Fighter v", Han Spider-Li, who had lost the aura of a newcomer, was weakened a lot in the plot, and there was basically no difference between him and other fighters, and he could no longer kill others. In fact, it is because in "Street Fighter v", the feng shui engine in the eyes of Wei Qiangxing was taken away, resulting in a decline in spider li's combat effectiveness. This is where Spider Li put on an eye mask.
Although Spider Li found a spare Feng Shui engine in sin's secret base, the effect was much less than before, and it was necessary to re-collect battle data.
DiCapri
DiCapri is a new character in Super Street Fighter 4 and a member of Vega's Women's Guard. He has been brainwashed and controlled before, and has the ability to fight no less than Jamie. According to the synopsis, DiCapri is a clone of Jamie.
DiCapri has been wearing a mask all along, and she looks cool. But players don't know why she's wearing the mask, which is to cover the scars on her face.
For the wound on her face, the original painter had made several plans. There are scratches, burns, bumps. There is also a design for a real blind eye, but it doesn't seem to be used.
In Street Fighter v, DiCapri has regained her freedom and regained her consciousness.
Today, when we see these games again, we always lament that the years are not sparing. Arcade players of that year have long passed the age of establishment, playing games less and less, but the nostalgia for the game hall is growing day by day.
Oh, yes! I am very fortunate to have access to so many arcade games in the past, and the bits and pieces in the game hall are still fresh in my memory, after all, this is our best youth!
