Things I've noticed about the Viper games.

[Hyperguy]

Though you probably can't find it on the menu at Anne Mitters, if you line up Karin, Saki, and Akira's breasts you'd effectively have sizes for small, medium, and large.  Saki is underrated.  Her breasts are almost as big as Akira's and much bigger than Karin's.

When I think of Raika, I think of Akira's main characterness mixed in with Narsha's hair style.

In Viper M1, when you're walking around Rei's castle in each hallway there are statues on the wall that look like Ratty, Carrera, and Mercedes dressed up in togas.

Chomi's breasts are easily some of the biggest in the whole Viper series, and are as large as, if not more than, Cala's, yet she's one of the least famous Viper characters.  Strangely enough, she's also among the youngest Viper characters, and still has one of the largest racks.

In Gunyarock-R, one of the characters has a green Pikachu type pet.  In Viper Islands, some Viper characters have Pokemon stuffed animals in their rooms.

Angel Dust, the story from Viper V12, which is basically a hentai version of Dirty Pair Flash, had character designs by Takahiro Kimura, who also did character designs for Dirty Pair Flash.  Kate and Yuria aren't carbon copies of Kei and Yuri, but are meant to be similiar.

To date there have been three different Sakis in the Viper series.  Saki from V16 Rise, Saki from Viper V10(the psuedo-Rambo woman commando story), and finally, the purple haired Saki in Viper F40(the one who rapes Mark).  There's also another Saki in Advanced Variable Geo 2, but since it's not Viper related he won't go into that, but it's worth noting that she was created by an artist from the Viper series.

Ratty is decidely more adult in the OVA series.  I think she was originally meant to be around 13 or 14, but when the OVA series was released they instead made her a petite adult in order to have her participate in the sex scenes.  There are a few pictures of Ratty undressed, but they were probably made before Japan raised its age of consent from 13 to 18.  I'm not sure how or why it'd affect hentai, but there might be a connection.  Highly doubtful though, since lolicon is still made today, but then again, for a 'big' company like Sogna to release lolicon might alienate some of their market.  That might explain why Afternoon wasn't recreated when they made Viper V6 R.  Or not.  It's speculation at best. O_o

Even with all of Seed's magic and power, Akira still whupped his ass.  This is only further proof as to how powerful the fighter class can be.  And her breasts might even be heavy enough to be considered fighter only armor.

Even though Makoto's for the most part based on the character design for Jun Kubota based on her size I doubt we'll ever see her perform a Kubota Buster anytime soon.  Nay, her style of dress and stature suggests that she probably perfers more raw, hard hitting moves than grapples.

Though there are plenty of male characters in the Viper series, there are very few male heroes.  Captain, Bravan, and Elan immedietly come to mind, but for the most part the character roster for Viper games is female dominated.  I guess it makes perfect sense considering it's a hentai game series.  Strangely enough, there's no shortage of penises in each sex scene.

Cala gets raped.  A lot.  And that's if you're going for the good ending!

There are no real descision branches in Viper F40.  It's probably the most linear Viper game since none of the descisions you make have any effect on the story aside from which place you visit first.

The scene in Viper M1 where Gramps tells Mika that she must carry on his legacy of protecting the earth and where she replies to him with "Don't shirk your responsibility!" is freakin' hilarious.  Leave it to a teenage girl to prioritize dating over saving her town.

Akira may not have the biggest breasts out of all of the Viper characters, but she certainly has long hair.  Maybe even the longest hair, and long hair's sexy.  Don't quote me on that(the part about having the longest).

You can count the number of times you get to see Ogawa's face in the Viper games on one hand.  Even with his redesign in the OVA, you still rarely see his eyes.

Alphina's fucking pimp.  In the OVA the angel's refer to him as "The White Devil" and he even hooks up with one of the angels in the Viper GTS novel.  Plus, he can change into battle armor Legend of Dragoon style.

The 3 Marukome's from Northern Lights show up in the ending of Viper GTB.  Speaking of cameos, Viper GT1 plays out like one big cameo, with characters from M1, V12, and others stopping by Anne Mitters for a bite to eat.  In one scenario, even the monsters from the Bravan series visit the restuarant to abduct Akira and co. to do naughty things to them.

Speaking of Bravan, the phallic tortise is probably the most digusting, creepy, and just downright wrong hentai monster I've ever seen.  Itss head is a penis, the spikes on its back is a penis, and it even shoots juice at you when you fight it.  Disgusting and nightmare inducing even. O_o

In some way or another, two of the henchman from My Mothers bear a resemblance to Voldo from Soul Calibur.

Also about My Mothers, Rei's pants are unique in there's a zipper that leads from the back to the front--y'know, for easy access.

Viper Imagine has got to be one of the most generic stories in the Viper series, period.  You play as a 20 something Japanese male who goes to school and occaissionaly meets girls, which sounds exactly like 90% of hentai games made in Japan.

The stories in the Viper games have touched on many, many different genres, including...

Magical Girl
Tokusatsu Super Hero
Exotic Girlfriend
Horror
Giant Robot
Fantasy
Science Fiction
Shojo
Shonen
Military Drama
Cosplay
Detective Show

There's probably more, but these are the most that came to mind.

This is actually enough for an article.  Maybe I should have posted it on the main site instead.

*literally quotes*

 

Wow, pos rep =]
Mention Raika s'more. xD

Though you probably can't find it on the menu at Anne Mitters, if you line up Karin, Saki, and Akira's breasts you'd effectively have sizes for small, medium, and large.  Saki is underrated.  Her breasts are almost as big as Akira's and much bigger than Karin's.

I think you mean large, large, and very large.  After four years to the GTB/GT1 timeframe, Karin's are about as big as Saki's were in V16.  Both are about 19 at those times.  Gotta compare apples to apples (or melons ot melons, if you prefer.)

In Viper M1, when you're walking around Rei's castle in each hallway there are statues on the wall that look like Ratty, Carrera, and Mercedes dressed up in togas.

Check the door.  From Magical Gambler Totocal Chomi, you'll find Kyou on either side and Sai and Koro above the frame.

Chomi's breasts are easily some of the biggest in the whole Viper series, and are as large as, if not more than, Cala's, yet she's one of the least famous Viper characters.  Strangely enough, she's also among the youngest Viper characters, and still has one of the largest racks.

You're slightly mixing up the transformed Chomi with the untransformed Ruri.  But yeah, since they are the same person, technically Chomi is only 9 or 10 years old.  Parallel Serial Hi-res Pixel!!

Angel Dust, the story from Viper V12, which is basically a hentai version of Dirty Pair Flash, had character designs by Takahiro Kimura, who also did character designs for Dirty Pair Flash.  Kate and Yuria aren't carbon copies of Kei and Yuri, but are meant to be similiar.

Similar enough to be considered parody.  I'm surprised Sogna didn't get in alot of trouble over V12.

To date there have been three different Sakis in the Viper series.  Saki from V16 Rise, Saki from Viper V10(the psuedo-Rambo woman commando story), and finally, the purple haired Saki in Viper F40(the one who rapes Mark).  There's also another Saki in Advanced Variable Geo 2, but since it's not Viper related he won't go into that, but it's worth noting that she was created by an artist from the Viper series.

Lest ye not forgot two Ryuu's (the hero from Demon's Night, and a suspect in F40) and two Yuki's (main character in Children's Play, and one of the girls in M3)
If you include the V series doujins, you pick up another Akira.  She's the girl (who's actually a guy) living with her/his grandpa and who's house is destroyed by Asuka.

Ratty is decidely more adult in the OVA series.  I think she was originally meant to be around 13 or 14, but when the OVA series was released they instead made her a petite adult in order to have her participate in the sex scenes.  There are a few pictures of Ratty undressed, but they were probably made before Japan raised its age of consent from 13 to 18.  I'm not sure how or why it'd affect hentai, but there might be a connection.  Highly doubtful though, since lolicon is still made today, but then again, for a 'big' company like Sogna to release lolicon might alienate some of their market.  That might explain why Afternoon wasn't recreated when they made Viper V6 R.  Or not.  It's speculation at best. O_o

I thought the age of consent is 16 today.  In any case, Sogna breaks that barrier in other games too.  Karin can not be more than 15 in V16 based on other canon facts. 3 years and 9 months pass between V16 and GTB becuase Seed and Kiese are abducted during his 3rd birthday party.  GT1 explicitly says Makoto is 20, and that takes place a few months after GT1. Akira is about a year younger than Makoto (generally believed to be 19 but I've never seen any canon material that says for certain), and Karin is not older than Akira (and generally assumed to only be a half-year younger, since they went to the same school and were in the same grade)

Even though Makoto's for the most part based on the character design for Jun Kubota based on her size I doubt we'll ever see her perform a Kubota Buster anytime soon.  Nay, her style of dress and stature suggests that she probably perfers more raw, hard hitting moves than grapples.

Official GTB artbook states her "occupation" as grappler.  I find it highly probable that "Bazooka Udon" would merely be a renamed Kubota Buster.

Though there are plenty of male characters in the Viper series, there are very few male heroes.  Captain, Bravan, and Elan immedietly come to mind, but for the most part the character roster for Viper games is female dominated.  I guess it makes perfect sense considering it's a hentai game series.  Strangely enough, there's no shortage of penises in each sex scene.

Lost your head and totally forgot all these fellas, didn't you:  Ogawa from The Devil Came, Senpai from Children's Play, Tsubasa from M5, and Kenji from M3.  Ryuu from Demon's Night could be counted, but he doesn't do a very good job as hero.  Toshiyuki from Imagine and yourself from GT1 don't count becuase there's no heroism in those and fully first-person.

There are no real descision branches in Viper F40.  It's probably the most linear Viper game since none of the descisions you make have any effect on the story aside from which place you visit first.

F50 is the same.

Akira may not have the biggest breasts out of all of the Viper characters, but she certainly has long hair.  Maybe even the longest hair, and long hair's sexy.  Don't quote me on that(the part about having the longest).

Sorry, quoted anyway.
FYI, Akira and Karin's both go to mid-thigh.  With no ponytail ribbon, Akira's goed a little below her knees (one of the bad endings in GTB gives  agood shot of her laying down with her ribbon loose).  With no braids, Karin's should go well below her knees, but the artists kind of blow it in all the unbraided pictures and keep the length around mid-thigh.  So its a push between the two of them for second place.
But Saki (V16) wins this crown. Her hair goes well below the knees, almost to the tops of her ankles.  She doesn't have the volume of either Karin or Akira though.

You can count the number of times you get to see Ogawa's face in the Viper games on one hand.  Even with his redesign in the OVA, you still rarely see his eyes.

I think I can count it on one finger.  His head, from the front, is displayed only in the Paradice expansion games, IIRC.  And perhaps only in Violet.

The 3 Marukome's from Northern Lights show up in the ending of Viper GTB.  Speaking of cameos, Viper GT1 plays out like one big cameo, with characters from M1, V12, and others stopping by Anne Mitters for a bite to eat.  In one scenario, even the monsters from the Bravan series visit the restuarant to abduct Akira and co. to do naughty things to them.

That scenario sucks.  I'm not sure how you avoid it (other than shear luck) and if its hit, you automatically get a bad ending, becuase you're only choices are to do nothing (in which case they presumably get raped and you don't witness it) or go to rescue them (in which case they get raped and you see it happen.)  You can't save them.

Speaking of Bravan, the phallic tortise is probably the most digusting, creepy, and just downright wrong hentai monster I've ever seen.  Itss head is a penis, the spikes on its back is a penis, and it even shoots juice at you when you fight it.  Disgusting and nightmare inducing even. O_o

Its "cousin", the tentacle plant from Demon's Night is just as scary.  Its tentacle can instantly became a barbed set of spikes.  Just the thought of what that would do to Leeza's insides is enough to make Ryuu quit resisting.

Viper Imagine has got to be one of the most generic stories in the Viper series, period.  You play as a 20 something Japanese male who goes to school and occaissionaly meets girls, which sounds exactly like 90% of hentai games made in Japan.

It tries to teach a lesson. Toshiyuki expects the girls will all be virgins (like alot of other hentai games) and is conflicted when he discovers Haruka isn't.  I think Sogna was trying to get the point across to other game makers to make the girls and the relations to them, how shall we say, more realistic?

This is actually enough for an article.  Maybe I should have posted it on the main site instead.

Not at all, I love threads like these.  Viper forum needs more of 'em.

[Echelon]

Sorrowful beat me to that one! =D

Anyways, my insight ...





The Viper Girls are very sexy.


^_^

But seriously, that was an awesome read HGuy.

[Hyperguy]

So, did we manage to get Saki's rating up high enough for the Christmas season, for when Sogtendo releases the new saKii console complete with intuitive remote control/vibrator with groper extension?  I feel like she may have gone up a few points.

I think it'd be more than a few points if this "saKii" is ever developed/released.

For a second there, I thought you were talking about their breasts.

[Snorlax.RAYZR]

Haha! Same!

Just give it a few decades.
