KOF issues, vol.3 "BENISTINKBOMB"

"A real big issue in KOF is a genuine lack of non-gay characters."


Not that I have anything against gays, but by and large, KOF has apparently grown to become a series by the gays, of the gays, for the gays. What's wrong with being straight? They don't even have straight attacks in KOF, for crying out loud!

I'm not biased against gays, but here is what I see when I look at the KOF Japan team. A highschool kid with a buttcut; a shirtless grabbler, and BENISTINKBOMB. What is the real point that SKN is trying to make here?

BENISTINKBOMB as his name implies, is one of those characters who can't be classified as a shoto, or a charge character, or a grabbler. That makes him "different". And "being different" is synonymous to being gay.
He shoots an electric ball from his fist, which is more annoying than it is damaging. He also does a flip-kick, which is sometimes a charge motion and sometimes a dragon punch. Because KOF is really a puzzle game, I guess.

Before I forget about how gay BENIS is, let me talk about his spin-kick. He spins around kinda like his day job spinning around a pole at the go-go bar, only this time it's minus the pole. Sometimes his Stinkoo Kick will hit just once, and sometimes it will keep on hitting the opponent, and sometimes some electric balls will spin around with him.

"BENIS and his electric balls."


BENIS also has this great move where he grabs his opponent and gives them an electric shock therapy. For this, you have to make sure that you're standing close enough to give your opponent mouth-to-mouth, or it won't work. This move comes in really useful in typical situations where the guy you're playing against can't do anything because he's paralyzed from the neck down.

He jumps straight up a lot, and can fly over the entire screen in like 2 jumps. This makes it impossible for BENISTINKBOMB to do jump-in chomboes, but let's face it, who does jump-in chomboes in KOF?

Don't confuse BENISTINKBOMB to be a lousy character. If you think he's a failure, you haven't tried the other 34 characters in KOF.

"Don't forget to come over to my place tonight, darling..!"

I can't believe you wrote an article about BENIS' gayness without mentioning the shirt.
