Warning! Big wall of text where I do that thing I do where I anylized something for a bit and slowly pick it a part. Do not take this as a jab at you :P
I still think SCV's basic fighting engine was REALLY good actually better then SC2's which I have been playing recently because of the HD version. Though SC3 is STILL my favorite. SCV was rushed mainly because it almost did not even happen. HELL it took Harada to help it get green lit
to add to the Pyhrra Pat thing. Now at the start when she gets attacked THAT made sense. Pat is an arrogant asshole at the start but develops and stops being one by the end of the story...IE he has character development. Pyhrra believes Tira when EVERYTIME PEOPLE DIE AROUND HER THIS GIRL SHOWS UP AND TELLS HER TO KILL PEOPLE.
After being with Pat for a bit she murders a few people pretty brutally. When she fights to protect Pat she transforms into a demon the same kind Pat is afraid of. She then SLOWLY WALKS TOWARDS HIM WITH A BLOOD STAINED SWORD while he is BEGGING HER to leave him alone for a second so he can figure out what is going on. She then is SHOCKED when he runs away in fear from the FUCKING DEMON. She then believes Tira is the only one she can trust(you know the girl who tried to kill her a few days ago and always tells her to kill people. She then proceeds to COMMIT ONE WOMAN GENOCIDE.
However this one line is what bugs me the most. As I said Pat develops and his early kills that he thought were just had become something he sees as a horrible action he has committed and takes the blame for pretty much everything. While trying to break Pat out of the ice she says "I am sorry I did not forgive you." Pyhrra has NO regrets with any of HER choices AT ALL.
This tells me that she feels nothing for the countless lives she has ended and has learned NOTHING. This tells me something simple. With how many people she has killed, how she violently killed people early on(defense or not) this tells me Pyhrra is NOT against killing but rather enjoys it. She is a psychotic murderer but must have a "reason" something that to her makes it "not her fault." In other words even at the end of SC5 all she needs is an excuse and she will murder again yet she is treated in the story as having done nothing wrong(this makes her a Sue)
The only reason I feel she has as many fans as she does is because she fits that "moe moe meek waifu" type...and the skirt. If Phyrra and Pat had their roles and personalities switched, Pat would be hated and we would be talking about how awesome Phyrra is and her character development.
