This really annoys me

That grey bit. It's bugged me for years. Arg!

If you look at the image, you'll see that it is desaturated at varying degrees in many different spots for whatever reason.

esteban · 02/26/2010, 02:56 PM

Yeah, I hear ya Paul!

But, for me, the edges of her hair have several spots that aren't as "sharp & clean" as I would have liked them.

I think it was intended to help create continuity/consistency with the background images... or something like that?

_Paul · 02/26/2010, 03:29 PM

It's probably time for a banner change anyway. I suggest this alternative.

Nah. If I was picky I'd complain about the way the gradient at the top doesn't match.

You could bitch about the 'random anime chick' being so prominent, like some clown did many moons ago. What's she doing up there anyway? She's not PC Engine related.

A blast from sunteam's past:

LOL Sunteam! Is that Jack Nicklaus, hero of the TurboGrafx-16?

QuoteI was picky I'd complain about the way the gradient at the top doesn't match.

That is amazingly easy to match, though a new banner would need to be created.

TheClash603 · 02/26/2010, 05:52 PM

You have brought out the OCD in me and now I can't stop looking at that spot. I agree, it needs to be fixed.

_Paul · 02/27/2010, 03:44 AM

Fixed both

PCEngineFX · 02/27/2010, 08:47 PM

You know that "random anime chick" isn't random....that is Rolfee, the PC-FX mascot...so she is very much NEC related.

Joe Redifer · 02/28/2010, 03:57 AM

She is, but she does look pretty generic, you gotta admit. NEC could have picked a better mascot... well maybe not for the PC-FX. All of the other characters on the banner have a uniqueness about them.

_Paul · 02/28/2010, 05:02 AM

It's a shame Peachboy isn't up there, he deserves to be.

There should be a rule that a "mascot" automatically forfeits an appearance in the banner if he/she/it were featured in an E-BOARD GAME of any sort. No?

Plus, Momotaro is ubiquitous. We need a mascot to be unique, awesome and friggin' special

Momotaro = UNWORTHY.

Kato & Ken = WORTHY.

_Paul · 02/28/2010, 07:45 AM

Ah but Kato and Ken are not original creations.

Perhaps the bald army dude from The Kung Fu would be more appropriate. If we could photoshop him having a fight with Guy Kazama while the ship from Deep Blue floats past in the distance that would be awesome.

You had me at bald army dude! I love the entire mural you've composed.

Quote from: guest on 02/28/2010, 07:45 AMAh but Kato and Ken are not original creations.

I guess I meant more along the lines of this: Properties that were exclusive to PCE, therefore, making the two inseparable from each other.

Hence, KATO & KEN!

Of course I know who she is. I was mocking Joe's past complaints concerning her.

I think a jailbait anime chick going ^_^ fits the "white dating sim box" pretty dang good myself.

my only complaint is that she didn't have a girlfriend to be all lesbo-with.

Joe Redifer · 03/14/2010, 10:56 AM

LOL @ the first sentence. Was NEC trying to be another 3DO with this thing, with real games being more of an afterthought?

JoshTurboTrollX · 03/18/2010, 11:51 AM

That banner needs more Guy Kazama..

And wow, thanks. Now that I've seen the bit of grey hair on rolfee... I cannot unsee it.

:C

guyjin · 03/19/2010, 12:49 PM

god damn it, I never saw it before, but now I can't stop noticing it! AARG! You ruined PCFX for me, Paul!

_Paul · 03/19/2010, 03:19 PM

It wouldn't take a second to fix (I already posted the un-grey version) but I think Aaron has forgotten all about this site.

I would hate to see Kato & Ken without also having JJ & Jeff.... because one pair would only make me long for the other.

As inherently hilarious as these guys are, there should be a way to get 'em all into the banner!

Momotaro is a folk hero / legend in Japan and is as common as little red riding hood here in the US.

Kato & Ken on the banner would be like poison. In my eyes.

I've been wondering about Rolfee as well, My vote was for "Random Anime Cheerleader".

Maybe Sofia from the Dragon Slayers? Or Pyrra in Xanadu (2)?

Momotaro is a folk hero / legend in Japan and is as common (and therefore, totally generic and utterly devoid of an exclusive "PCE personality") as little red riding hood here in the US.

Kato & Ken on the banner would be ~~like poison~~ supremely pleasurable. In my eyes. In my heart. And in my unworthy soul.

I fixed that for you! You are welcome

All is fair in love and war, as they say.

...but, I was still pretty harsh in my corrections. Sorry about that.

Anyway, who else should grace the banner at PCEFX, people? Come on! Surely there are some underappreciated characters we have yet to mention!

For example, when it comes to totally unique, PCE-special characters, I always think about: the bunny from Rabio Lepus Special (holy crap, I just learned of the PS2 port of Rabio Lepus. Does anyone have it?).

Now, I don't expect him (her?) to be popular enough to be on the PCEFX banner, but... who are your "underdog" nominations?

PCEngineFX · 04/07/2010, 02:47 AM

You know that's not HAIR right? The white in that area is Bomberman's reflective round nub of a hand.

And as far as the banner is concerned, I'm open to changes in the characters....

Yes, but the pieces of Rolfee's hair in front of the white part of his hand are gray instead of blue like the rest of her mane.
