You're attacking an argument I didn't make (that SF has never had sexy female designs).

The original statement from Inuhanyou was:

Capcom has always had fanservice of their female characters by artists from the inception. Its not exactly new

You replied with:

Hence why I said I don't know why they had to go full DOA.

To which The Lone Dragon replied:

They didn't "go" anywhere. They've always been there.

Your reply was:

This is so disingenuous, lol.

This was followed by examples that, to quote Inuhanyou, are "not exactly new." I was simply providing additional examples--examples that are older and a bit racier than your own--that negate your claim that The Lone Dragon's argument was disingenuous. THAT was the argument I was addressing. They haven't "gone full DOA," whatever that means. As you said, they've always had racy designs.

 

[Primethius]

If this is garbage, then show me to the nearest landfill.

Gotta ask Capcom where they're storing SFV copies.

 

[Giftofgab24]

Gross.

 

[RM8]

Good god, I keep forgetting that garbage Laura costume is in the game.

Well, that may be because Street Fighter has literally always been this trashy. Or so I've been told!

 

[SDBurton]

That Chun-li cover + those abs... phew

 

[Xeteh]

Some from last year:

Need to get shiniez to do artwork for SF at this point.

No escalation whatsoever



Dang, this is quite a decrease in my tolerance for fanservice!

Well Graphics have improved so I would expect the character models and animation would as well.
Bikinis don't mean full Doa , Showing skin does not mean full Doa

Tell me when they start selling thousands of dollars worth of g string outfits and paradise videos of female characters on a beach rolling over then you may have a point. I don't believe that any of this optional stuff makes the game any more exclusive to anyone. Unless they are the weirdos who call for outfits to get banned from tournies.

 

[jediyoshi]

There's no class to it. The FGC, while full of different minorities, it's infamously seen as a "boys only club". This sort of stuff, in the biggest fighting game franchise of all, certainly doesn't help.

That's just the echo chamber talking. Stating any individual group as a "boys only club" in the gaming context is actually a joke.

[MiguelItUp]

I haven't laughed this hard in a GAF thread in awhile. Thanks for the comments everyone. That being said, I have NO idea what is up with that cover. That looks ALL kinds of messed up. Especially Juri, like, her proportions are all over the place. What is going on with her? Lol.

Graphics have improved, so everyone gets bigger breasts? Graphics have improved, so the females get close ups to their butts and breasts? Graphics have improved, so the females get porn parody-like costumes? Graphics sure seem to improve only some things

I'm not talking about inclusiveness, honestly, I'm talking about Street Fighter feeling cheaper, more tacky now.

See, this is how the only female in SF2 was officially depicted:

You really won't make me agree that nothing has changed, lol.

glad we agree

on some things

 

[Inuhanyou]

I don't know what kind of culture Japan has that a woman was the one who drew SF3's character art like this

Zone is the only girl artist i know who would draw things guys would see in in fetishes

Yeah most of them just draw yaoi.

 

[RM8]

How about, since we're now talking about SF3, we get some characters like Makoto in SFV? I'm 200% sure she'd get bikini-ed for the first time ever this time around, though.

no doubt
something like this would suffice

 

[Ravi_elite]

Wait..so this isn't coming to STREET FIGHTER V? Got my hopes up for nothing

 

[RecRoulette]

Makoto is a perfect fit for SFV because Tanden Renki fits perfectly with the V-Trigger system. Seems like an easy fit for Season 3 (because Season 2 is all newcomers and Akuma)

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

I'm not too against this on principle but the promo art is hideous and it needs more dudes.

Better dudes, too. The Ryu piece from last year has him looking way too scrawny and demure. Don't be giving us teen idol Ryu, give us gay underwear model Ryu!

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Did we forget that Capcom had a huge beach scene poster for SSF2T in like 1995 with Chun-Li and Cammy front and center?

They were pretty restrained with Ibuki's swimsuit DLC so it could happen *shrug*

They had these swimsuit specials before. I remember one of the older covers aped a Marvel swimsuit cover.

Those are some funky proportions. Elena just looks scaled up entirely, not taller than the others. Also Chun doing the T&A pose, of course. 🤔

None of those swimsuits are present in-game, though. Even though Elena's might cover more skin than her default, lol. I think two separate discussions are taking place - I'm strictly talking about in-game designs, proportions, camera angles, etc.

But I guess it's not the thread for that, since this is also about additional media and not SFV the game.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Best thing in the thread, would make an excellent avatar if cropped properly.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

This is not good.

 

[Yazuka]

.

Who is the artist for this? I recognize the style.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Im totally cool with the idea, depicting the human body is something I like and sexy merchandise isnt a crime buuuut that Juri drawing really doesnt hit the mark and that Chun Li anatomy is hilariously bad

I wouldnt have minded being part of the book though, my piece for their megaman book was pretty good I thought :|

 

[T.O.P]

That Juri one is hilariously bad, the others are great tho

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Back in the day I'd collect most variant covers but these would be a hard pass if I were still buying. Pandering is one thing, but these are just... Unappealing as art.

 

[fhqwhgads]

At least Capcom remembered that Morrigan and Felicia aren't the only darkstalker characters..so there's that.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Probably more people than wanted to get Street Fighter 5.

Let's not get too crazy. This isn't selling more than Batman. Hell, I can't see this selling more than Squirrel Girl. It'll be lucky to hit 50K max.

 

[sixteen-bit]

At least Capcom remembered that Morrigan and Felicia aren't the only darkstalker characters..so there's that.

Lei-Lei made it to MvC3 tho

 

[Hyun Sai]

Oh well, I thought Chun Li would get at last some DLC costumes...

 

[lucebuce12]

Oh well, I thought Chun Li would get at last some DLC costumes...

Lord knows she's been lacking on that front.

 

[Tizoc]

Don't mind me, just posting the GOAT Capcom character in swimwear

Spoiler

If there was never a pinup of Nagare in any of these swimsuit specials, this universe has failed me

 

[Gentleman Jack]

If there was never a pinup of Nagare in any of these swimsuit specials, this universe has failed me

That would require people at Capcom to acknowledge that Rival Schools was ever a thing.

I look forward to Nagare's cameo in the next water-themed stage in SFV in season 3.

 

[Foxy the Fox]

This is some BS.

Juri isn't that stacked.

Ibuki by the other hand...

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

If you're gonna do fanservice why not make it look good? Because that Juri art is nightmare fuel.

 

[Fersis]

Gross as f*ck.
But pretty much in line with most of the SFV female characters designs.

 

[joe2187]

At least Capcom remembered that Morrigan and Felicia aren't the only darkstalker characters..so there's that.

Isnt felicia naked already?

Why would she even wear a swimsuit...

 

[bman94]

That first cover is fucking terrifying.

 

[fhqwhgads]

Lei-Lei made it to MvC3 tho

She had her 15 seconds of fame and she sure as hell ain't gonna be in MVCI. Plus it's not like we'll be seeing anyone like BB Hood or Anakaris anytime soon. You can't make fanservice out of them so they're not a priority.

 

[L Thammy]

Shouldn't they at least have gotten someone like Isutoshi? Not a fan of this route, but if you're going to go this way at least do it well.

 

[Yukinari]

Isnt felicia naked already?

Why would she even wear a swimsuit...

I mean if she wore a sling bikini that would appeal to me a lot.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

How did they make best girl look so bad...this should have the opposite effect on my penis.

 

[joe2187]

I mean if she wore a sling bikini that would appeal to me a lot.

But...she's naked already...You're actively covering her up if you put her in a Bikini....

 

[sixteen-bit]

midnight bliss, breh

 

[joe2187]

midnight bliss, breh

She turns into two underage twins in pajamas.....

 

[Foxy the Fox]

Also, looking at the SF4 official japanese site, most of SF girls have big breasts.

Juri looks gigantic in those pics but she is only 83cm while Ibuki has 95cm in breast size, that is a J cup in Japan and lot of back-pains.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/sf4/ibuki.html#character_btn

Somehow she always seemed normal size in the games.
