Eh, that GENERALLY isn't how it goes, especially not with ST... MAYBE Hyper or something, although Gouki isn't in that. Besides, Gouki is banned in tournament play. You're more likely to see a lot of O. Sagat, Bison (boxer), or Balrog (claw)...

◆The XBLA version of Braid is now available for download, if you have 1200 pts (15€ in Europe). Still no exact release date communicated regarding the PC version. I can't wait to be done with work.
◆Now, regarding some recent posts on ic, first there is the Takeshita interview:
http://www.insertcredit.com/archives/002467.html
Christan did miss one opportunity, as "the man behind Megaman 9" is the third disciple of Fujiwara (creator of Mega man and Makaimura) with Mikami and Inafune. He has been at Capcom for ages!
Takeshita is quite likeable for being absolutely cursed with his games: he was the main guy behind BOF and although many people agree BOF5 finally redeemed the series' existence and a daring effort from capcom, it sealed the franchise's destiny for good.  Then he held the entire Gokumakaimura project on his shoulders and even managed the impossible (to get Fujiwara back at Capcom in order to supervise it), yet the game failed to find an audience twice and possibly would have sold three times as much if released only a few months later. He was the patron saint of Takarajima Z (Zack & Wiki), which failed to attract anyone in the US or Japan and barely saved its ass thanks to the European market, despite raving reviews all around. Oh and let's not forget he is the main guy behind Eldorado's Gate. x1000
More specifically, it would have been super interesting to have him compare his experiences on Gokumakaimura and Rockman 9, given the obvious similarities and differences between the two projects.
◆Also, two things about Ikatan:
http://www.insertcredit.com/archives/002471.html
Regarding your question about cross-dressing protagonists, the heroes of Princess x Princess on PS2 qualify, I believe. However I believe this is not an original game but the adaptation of a yaoi manga/anime. Also a number of protagonists have cross-dressed in video games (outside of H-games, I mean, but maybe Zepy can shed a light on that). Out of the blue, I can remember cloud of FFVII and Kaoru of Mystereet (mentioned on your site in 2006).
The full title of the game is not Ikamono Jiken but Ikamono Tantei (you are mistaking 事件 and 探偵). It has nothing to do with squids; "ikamono tantei" means something along "the faking detective". The joke of the first image comes from the shorted title, "Ikatan", which on a first glance, and knowing this is from cyberfront, looks like the game would be about a loli squid. But that was only a playful red herring (←Iggy trap!).
◆Cat waggling! Acquire is awesome.
IT'S THE BLACK PUDDING!

I do not really know anything about the percentage of heterosexual men among crossdressers.
Neither do I. I could imagine the main character not having any love interest would solve all problems at once (the player could imagine whatever suits her while keeping all the benefits of a yaoi characterization).
quote:
I have really little knowledge on the subject but I was under the impression crossdressing was culturally more relevant in Japanese culture than in most Western cultures, so I guess there could be typical archetypes of crossdressing that would only apply to Japanese culture.
Ah, I haven't thought of that; I was thinking about two (french) persons I knew.
One was really... special (transgender, heterosexual when he was a male crossdresser, lesbian afterward, and in both cases a powerful Zabel player even with nails 4cm long) so he may not really apply (but who knows).
The other one was "maybe gay"; he was more of a "gay by default" because he had to answer something to the question, but otherwise didn't really care about sex and was mostly interested in a private fantasy world of his own, which had strict boundaries with the real world (there were times to dress up like a guy and act like one, for work, school or broadly social activities; and times to dress up as a woman, with friends, to go shopping, or for general stress-inducting situations).
He had different behaviors according to his clothes, the shy and reserved guy, and the self-assured, fearless woman.
What I perceived of him (I didn't know him very well) looks rather like what I understand from that game (that I have never played and probably never will).
But then, further rules of Japanese crossdressing may apply.
