Which SFV newcomer do you think will stand the test of time?

Laura is such a garbage nothing character.

The only thing she has going on is a terrible haircut and her tits hanging out.

Doesnt help that in the story she acted like she has a IQ of 10.


Rahidoooo is the breakout star of SFV thats for sure.

People hating on FANG's design clearly have low kung-fu flick knowledge.

Yeah, Capcom's original design philosophy was ripping off 70's kung fu flicks and 80's manga. It was nice getting a character that, at least visually, looked like they were created by old Capcom.

FANG - one and done. Some might like his personality but many will be turned off by how low tier he is. Also don't see much story need for him anymore.

Laura - she might make it back due to fan service but I don't find anything attractive about her gameplay, physical, or personality wise.

Rashid - best of the initial batch by far. Very high chance to make it back.

Necalli - opposite of fang where he's strong gameplay wise but has a personality of a rock. What a huge disappointment in the story. Don't see him coming back for gameplay either since he's pretty boring.

Kolin - she seems to be quite popular and has an unique play style. If SFVI finally moves past III she would be important story wise.

Ed - once again unique PlayStyle but this time with his inputs. I can see capcom wanting to iterate on him in later game since he's lacking a bit in V. Also big story tease with him.

Abigail - very divisive of course but I really like the dude. He's the only big/grappler character I've enjoyed playing. I think the initial hate early on sours his chances even if it has eased up a bit lately.

Overall for chances imo:

Kolin > Ed > Rashid > Laura > FANG = Abigail = Necalli

T-shirt and shorts...oh the horror.

Elena is wearing even less clothes.

Why are you body shaming Laura just because her bust size is bigger? Natural human anatomy, how does it work.

Have you ever met a woman wearing a t shirt and shorts

In terms of making it past SFV..

how the hell is Rashid not in Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite is a question myself and a lot of people I know have. He looks like he is perfect for it!

Capcom side literally only has 2 new characters at launch. MvCI doesn't have Rashid because as much as I'm looking forward to it, the roster is dumpster fire.
 
I actually like they have minimal SF characters in Marvel now I never liked them taking up slots in those games. I know they "have" to have Ryu and Chun-Li but I wouldn't mind if they took them out too..

There should be at least 3 in every game, probably 4 given the fact that it's Capcom's biggest fighter and one of their top franchises.

He comes off as a goofy knob, he's not really sinister or threatening. His poison ability is inconsistent. It can sometimes kill but sometimes it doesn't. His proportions are odd, they could have made a much cooler looking take on this premise.

That isn't a tee...
It is. It's just very short in length but it still has the sleeves.

Googled short t-shirt

Laura's is just shorter than some people would like.

This is just an overly long version of the exact same thing you said earlier, so again, get out and experience more. Maybe travel a bit? Since you're basically saying that thicc, curvy Brazilian/Latina women like Laura exist only in cartoons. Seriously, go see the world.

No I added and explained myself, but you don't seem interested in reading

Also I do travel, I'm never going to see a woman like Laura, or any SF character, Or tekken Character, or most fighting game females, except for the faces in IJ2

They are literally, perfect doll people with perfections real woman, and real woman who are "thick", don't have. They are idealized forms, meant to incite. They are created, she is a cartoon lady who is not real, with cartoon porpotions. That's kinda the whole point. The guys too, though you see more of them allowed to have to have imperfections and to be built around them from time to time, but mostly it applied to them too

So please, Could you stop accusing me of being uncultured, because you have deluded yourself into thinking the by design impossibly perfect cartoon video game woman with cartoon faces are some how representative of actual women. Especially those doing martial arts. And stop with the whole " condescending ".

Yeah, I never understood the hate toward Laura default costume, especially when Mika and Cammy's asses are in the open to be taken. Gaf seems to hate boobs.

Why the Kolin hate? I like her.

Also Fang is awesome.

By the time she came out some people were frustrated with how many sexy females and light skinned blue eyed blondes the game had. Cool (lol) fightstyle and I don't think she's actually hated, but her physical design is just so redundant at this point and there's not many pro players who use her to get people to care about her.

If the issue is "too much skin", I wonder how they feel when they see a girl wearing a bikini, if that's even happened, lol.

I use naked Urien all the time and am still waiting for banana hammock Birdie.

But I've seen girls in bikini's.

Its almost as if.. hear me out. I don't want to see that all the time. And woman can be more than things in bikinis. And can dress different ways.

Just a thought,

Maybe not everyone who doesn't want to see that isn't some prude or allergic to woman. Maybe they want variety. Maybe some of them, are women themselves.

I know , its hard to understand.

Give me concept art, birdie
 
None of them, nor the garbage redesigns of older characters

You don't say...

Is this is why Capcom decided to give every character including Laura alt costumes, so you don't have to see the same ones all the time? It all makes sense now.

Why concept art Birdie? If women can have swimsuits why can't men? Is it because Birdie is fat?

Also, if you mean this concept art Birdie

Its not about men in bikini's because I sure as hell use thong urien, and would use thong ed.

But its the concept art with Birdie with a cut top with a union jack on it where you can see his abs and he looks super fit

Birdie.jpg



Also fit birdie in a Doll outfit I would assume would have his legs exposed.

Like what is this? No new character has ever been as close to a SF2 character as Rashid is. Just fucking blind hate.
He probably plays Reaper in Overwatch

I do like that alt so at least we can agree on that. I doubt they'll change his physique though

Her default outfit is fine honestly. It's the story outfit that goes a bit too far.

Then again I'm a fan of Cammy's SFV default where a strap is literally pushing up her breasts so what do I know.

You hating on Ken, Vega, Karin, Balrog, Guile, & Urien's redesigns? It's bad enough that you're hating on Rashid. Plus Balrog & Karin's redesigns are leagues better than what they had before.
