Topic: Guin is not King

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Someone has tagged all picks with King from Namco's Tekken with "Guin" and "Guin Saga". King and Guin are not the same characters and should not be tagged as one character. Any pick depicting Guin should have tags "King_(Tekken)" "Tekken" and "Namco" removed from them, and any picks depicting King should have "Guin" and "Guin Saga" removed from them.

Your logic would be sound if not for one of several MAJOR issues revolving around your idea. Firstly, Guin came Before king, and King took major inspiration {See almost flat out ripped off Guin}, making it borderline impossible to tell the two characters apart from one another {Both wear leopard masks, both are very bulky, have the same skin tone, and wear loin cloths.}, ontop of that, both characters are directly inspired by the old aztec jaguar warriors, which came long before either. So, how do we differentiate between "Aztec Warrior" "King" and "Guin" when they all look pretty much exactly alike?

Here. Guin's head is an actual Jaguar head and covers his shoulders with spots moving onto his skin. He can also close his mouth. Guin wears a loincloth with a leather shoulder strap and is sometimes carrying a sword. King is a Latino man wearing a mask. He cannot close the mouth on it and the mask does not merge into his skin. He also wears wrestling attire, and he sometimes wears a dress shirt with slacks.

Also notice here how King's mouth never closes:

See? Wasn't that hard to post reference links? Now we can see exactly what you mean. Not trolling. Really. Just a tip. Well, at least, for the people who don't know these characters. Like me.

And to the point.

Looking at the posts tagged king_(tekken) (Luchador) and guin (Cheetahguy) it's a bit hard to diferentiate between both, the only difference I see is the mask. Besides, most images have both characters, so they still get both tags.

Either way you can edit posts' tags (just don't abuse it) and add or remove the tags that are relevant or uneeded. Also you will help other users to find what they are looking for by fixing the tags.
