You should explain
why that is, instead of just saying so.
i'm tired of these people who are in charge of 2D games wanking 18 just because she's the female character
It's not the people who are in charge "wanking" her, it's the playerbase. It's very common for players of anime fighters to want to play as their "waifus," and #18 is simply the best candidate for that role the series has.
i DO NOT CARE ABOUT HER. you can't force us to play as her,
It doesn't matter whether your care about her or not, and nobody is forcing you to play as her.
she's so lame they have to give her 17's moves and are using 17 as a way to promote her.
They're taking two incomplete and unsatisfying halves and combining them together to make a character that feels whole. It's pragmatic.
17 and 18 aren't "clones" they never fought together in canon,
They may never have fought in tandem, but they were always faced as a duo. One was always in the presence of the other, except in the Boo arc when #17 was written out of the story completely. So it's natural to have them as a tandem character in this game.
and anyone who says they're clones and shouldn't have seperate slots then you're a huge hypocrite ! why ? because you're okay with Goku and Vegeta having a seperate slot for different transformation and with Gohan and his other versions.
Geez, generalize much?
First of all, I'm not necessarily OK with SSB Goku and Vegeta having their own slots but that's because I don't want SSB in the game at all for the purely selfish reason of not being a fan of Super. But in the context of the game I can live with it because of a simple fact: SSB Goku and SSB Vegeta are
waaaaay more important than #17, who by comparison is a minor and insignificant character.
As for Gohan, it's a different scenario because his different forms are of different ages so they naturally play differently from each other. Kid Gohan is a tiny little kid, while adult Gohan is a grown man. But I don't really want either of those versions of Gohan in the game.
but 16 is more unique, uuh so ? 17 is unique too ! him being 18's twin brother doesn't make him less unique than 16 who had a 2 minute fight in the series or his sister who's only major battle was with Vegeta and she never fought again all she has going for her is "oh she's female"
#16 is inherently more unique than #17 just because of the way he's built. He may have only had one fight scene but it was enough to establish him as a grappler which stands in stark contrast to the other characters in the game. #17 has nothing of the sort going on. He's built identically to #18, there's only so differently he can play from her.
People want 17 in the game !
Doesn't matter. There are people who don't want #17 in the game, and people who don't care either way. It's a silly hill to die on.
I mean, really thinking about it though, what other female characters are even likely to be in the game? Videl? Maybe. Bulma? Not likely, possibly in a mech. Chi-Chi? Not incredibly likely. Mai? Improbable. But anyway, obviously, the ideal choice is to have both androids in, but how different are their fighting styles? I wouldn't have guessed 16 would be in, either but he has a very unique style of play as a grappler. Goku and Vegeta have their SSB forms as playable because their fighting styles change between SSJ and SSB; of course that's not to mention the fact that those slots are hilariously easy to market from a merchandising standpoint. Early access of these characters are incentive to pre-order the game, which would not have been possible if they were just transformations or alt skins.
