As if Japanese games are a bastion of design brilliance lmao
I'll take Tekken's character designed bullshit over the bullshit NRS or Iron Galaxy's bullshit any day of the week.
That's always the case
"OMG SFV LOL TRASH GAME DEAD GAME LOL FUCK YOU CAPCOMbut let's watch it because reasons"
I thought so too. Orchid looks a 1000x better than any female NRS has ever rendered.

i like the design in all three of those games. but when most people are just looking at "who has the hottest waifus?" of course the western companies are going to be less impressive.

Overwatch waifus are on a different tier than even anime
Western designs are typically very boring and bland but Japanese designs often veer into aggressively awful territory. I generally like most of Guilty Gear's designs but a lot of the new characters are sheer waifu bait.
I think Japan's crappy economy has effectively forced Japan to design characters to appeal to people who are willing to buy and play games outside mobile games and these people, by and large, are otaku. The fighting games with global appeal tend to have a variety of character designs whereas there's several fighting games that are essentially Japan-only with rosters comprised almost entirely of schoolgirls.

I find this to be quite accurate.
They are leagues way better than anything NRS does. Tekken 7 FR is a clear case of this.

Has more good than bad. The biggest thing is they are based on tropes what you migh hate another likes was an aspect of the characters
The only meh ones imo are mu-12, ragna, and mak needs her jacket
Half a character design in a fighter is how they attack/animate as well
The trope excuse is bad and only BB apologists bring it up to defend the god awful character designs. Same excuse as when Lucky Chloe is brought up.
Sure not all of them are bad but there are enough bad ones in there to put off a lot of people.
Not everyone likes the anime aesthetic just like not everyone likes the NRS aesthetic.

he just listed as many female characters as he could and added amane
its cool though, blazblue has snarky muscular men for him
Posting that Kokonoe image only shows how bad that design is. Like generic animu waifu bait mixed with cat/glasses fetish.
You can put her in a random low level anime these days and she wouldn't be out of place.
Though mind you the game play design of these characters are excellent but of course that's not what we are talking about here.

Believe it or not I criticize SF because I am probably a bigger fan than you guys are. So it saddens me to see capcom failing to deliver. While I am a mega fanboy I am not a blind followed either. When a product under deliver I call it out. Also SFV could have been bigger than sfiv when it comes to brining in more causal players into the franchise. But well we all saw how that turned out.... Maybe for sfvi capcom will take their time and release a finished product.

Then she'll fit right into low level anime released 7 years ago.

I think Blazblue was supposed to be like a parody, thats why so many of their character designs are awful.
Resorting to name calling because I went in on your sacred cow. Classy.

your attempts to insult the game have no basis whatsoever though
"generic low tier anime" has no definition and nothing to draw comparison to. So bravo
