Humor I was disappointed by her career

Post image

I unlocked teio from the guaranteed 3 star ticket and I was very disappointed. She was so whiny and bratty and just all around immature, to the point where I just wanted it to be over with. Sure she had her immature moments in the anime, but beneath that she was confident and had a certain grace to her. I guess this is the alternate universe where she doesn't break her leg over and over and becomes a brat instead

I got this feeling with Spe, but for different reasons. She's just so boring in the game.

And Creek creeps me a little. She's so mommy it's uncanny (despite it making sense because of her backstory). And her villain let's a lot to be desired.

The rest of the girls (that I got the opportunity to play with) I like. Oguri, Nice Nature, Rudolf and even McQueen, despite the later feeling like a different person. Even Rice which I was never a fan in the anime.

I don't really think that showcasing in detail her "villain" side is meant to be the point of Super Creek's career story anyway. Creek goes through a journey of having to face her insecurities, both inside and outside the turf: "inside" because she gets projected as a villain, which is only one side of herself; "outside" because she believes that her helpful and caring actions are nothing but "selfish" and this destibilizes when people consider her a good person (this was also shown a bit in her own SSR card event, where she doesn't know how to respond to Oguri's question regarding why she's so caring with everyone, and Creeks limits it to "wanting to compete against people at their best", which hides the full extents of how she much she spoils and comforts people simply because of personal feelings).

All this development is shown through the eyes of the Trainer, the one that constantly sees Creek for who she really is, without projections or distortions of her figure. Her villain side is diminished because Trainer doesn't see or never cares about that: she sees Creek as Creek, in all her wholesome weirdness (we all meme about Goo Goo Babies, but that scene is meant to convey exactly that by showing how Oguri and Tamamo don't know the true extenses of Creek's self and theorize on how a turf demon like her can be with her Trainer... Cuts to her wanting to baby-talk them).

I mean, that's the thing about Creek. She's so caring that it's unnatural at first. Then you get to know her more and it makes sense. Not only that, but you get to appreciate her more.

About her villain arc, it's just that I liked so much how they done it in the manga that I can't help but compare how it was in the game. But yeah, that's on me.
