Its just a shame I'm not too fimiliar with MK characters. If I was, I probably wouldn't need any incentive to draw them.

DEV said:Actually yes Poison was considered a transexual after Capcom of America changed her from a man to a woman because they were worried about the fact players went about beating up women.
In conclusion I hope you like manly women TicklekillerPoison is a "new-half", meaning a person who got a sex change. Poison
is a GUY. A guy with breasts, but a guy. This is official. This has been
official EVER SINCE FINAL FIGHT ONE EXISTED. However, most USA players
wouldn't know this at all, due to lack of storyline publications in the US
and the fact that Poison didn't even EXIST in Final Fight One for the USA
version. Capcom of USA thought that Poison was a girl (they STILL didn't
know she was a guy by Final Fight Revenge, for crying out loud), so when
Final Fight 1 came to the US, they changed Poison and 'her' pallet swap,
Roxy, into generic male punks, Billy and Sid, because censorship was high
back then and they feared people wouldn't like the idea of hitting girls.
Poison and Roxy in the planning stages of game were female. But a rep
from Capcom USA told the developers in Japan that USA won't like guys
hitting girls. So before the game came out, Poison and Roxy became
new-halfs. Capcom of USA didn't realize this and thus changed Poison and
Roxy to Billy and Sid, anyways. Methinks someones' got a communication
problem, there...
If you think Poison can't be a guy just because 'she' looks so 'woman',
no offense, but you really need to study up on Japanese Anime culture some
more...
Poison MIGHT have gotten a sex change for Final Fight Revenge and is
now a girl and not a guy (All About Capcom states "Could he finally went
and have gotten a sex change?" or something like that). As stated, Capcom
of USA still didn't know that 'she' was a guy, so they made her a girl when
they made Final Fight Revenge. It seemed that Capcom of Japan decided to go
with that, and officially state that she possibly got a sex change and
became a full-fledged woman for Final Fight Revenge and beyond. Although
in actuality, it was a joke. Apparently Capcom of Japan was just toying
around when they said Poison might have gotten a sex-change. A friend
(EscoZG) recently went to work for Capcom on a nondisclosed game (he said
it was possible to guess what that game was, though...) and spoke with
Capcom's Atsushi Iwasaki (a storyboard artist/animator) and several other
Capcom employees about Poison. They gave him the same story stated here in
this guide (that Poison was a girl, Capcom of America made them change her
into a man but they did NOT change the sprite so she was a transvestite,
then Capcom of America changed 'her' to Billy and Sid). They also said
that 'she' still officially was a man, so I guess in truth she didn't get
that sex-change for Final Fight Revenge, after all. The quote about the
sex-change for Final Fight Revenge in All About Capcom is probably Capcom
of Japan making fun of Capcom of America's ignorance. Oh, and on a random
side note, Atsushi also designed Morrigan's sprite. When asked about how
he felt about that sprite still being used after all these years, he got
kind of uncomfortably quiet, stated he had some storyboards he had to draw,
and left without answering the question... ^_~
The band Poison (lots of Final Fight characters have musical
references in their names) was known for its members that were guys but
looked like girls...
Poison's voice in Final Fight 1 kinda sounds like a guy trying to
sound like a girl. Her voice in Street Fighter 3 is a lot more
realistically female than her voice in Final Fight One, that's for sure.
However, I learned more about new-halfs and truth of the matter is that
a sex-change does not change your voice. New-halfs must train themselves
to change their own voices over time to sound more like the opposite sex,
which might be what Poison is doing (training "her" voice to sound
more feminine).
oriyaborealis said:The reasons aren't clear for why the change because it is possible the rumors surfaced after the Super Nintendo version was released (this is making discernments from the Super FAMICOM version) with Poison and Roxy being changed to some shmucks named Sid and Billy
Any arcade releases do not feature any changes as far as the game is concerned
But here is an excerpt of the Street Fighter plot canon guide
In conclusion I hope you like manly women Ticklekiller
