Not only was Sypha's character icon (in the status bar) feminine, so was her wounded SFX. Trevor says, "oop!" Grant says, "Oof." Alucard says, "Ungh." But Sypha has a much, much higher voice and says, "Ow!" No, I'm not making this up. I just spent the last 3 hours playing CV3 with no music -- just sound effects. Konami never tried to hide anything from anyone -- Sypha was a girl all along. It was just a really shitty localization and most of you were gender-confused little children. Sorry to break it to ya.
