Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 4: Pai Chan (Saturn) review"V is for
|
Pai Chan’s story is a little bit tragic. A child prodigy in Mizongquan martial arts, she trained relentlessly with her father, Lau, until the death of her mother. Realising that her mother’s death was due to the extreme physical and emotional burden of supporting her family while they endlessly trained, she alienated her father to whom she attributed blame. From there, she used all her martial arts talents to become a movie star in Hong Kong. Despite her huge fame and adoring fanbase, she was unable to discard the hatred she felt towards her father so, when he entered the first World Fighting Tournament, which would be the stage Virtua Fighter was set upon, she followed suit. Determined to gain a measure of revenge by defeating him.
Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 4: Pai Chan captures exactly none of that. None of that at all!
I can’t say I’m honestly surprised; previous CG Portrait titles ignored Sarah Bryant’s brainwashed state to instead show her getting wasted poolside in a bikini, or portrayed seriously serious I’m-nothing-like-Ryu-please-stop-saying-that warrior Akira Yuki as a wandering vagabond constantly stalked by small animals. Pai’s unique chapter has some brief stills of her flapping her arms around in what, I guess, might be considered some kind of martial arts training, but it mostly tries to showcase her as a germ-phobic dullard.
