What did skullgirls do?

The ass slap was amusing. Ass physics are funny.

Her design is still ridiculous, so this benefits nobody.

The dumbest part of this change is the the ass slap was the least offensive part of Mikas design. Why get rid of it? It was hilarious.

 

[Rajang]

Im hoping its only the NA version.

There are offensive things about Mika?

 

[LycanXIII]

I think her now emotionless face is worse.

 

[mollipen]

Thanks Capcom, it was offensive

Good lord, no it wasn't. You ruin the actual meaning of the word "offensive" saying things like that.

Unless you're being sarcastic.

 

[Alucrid]

People are freaking out over nothing and blaming some nebulous group of other people for supposedly freaking out over nothing.

This is how it all ends.

nebulous group? those people who did that thing that lead to this here know exactly what they did

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

It's US fault

 

[SolarPowered]

What does this mean for Hot Ryu?

Only his upper half is exposed. I'm more worried about Urien being put in a burka.

Spoiler

No one cares when men are sexy.

The dumbest part of this change is the the ass slap was the least offensive part of Mikas design. Why get rid of it? It was hilarious.

Seriously

I'm not a big fan of her outfit in Alpha or here in SFV. Something less titillating (I'm so sorry) and garish would have been nicer.

 

[Coffee Dog]

What about the people who are easily offended by a creator making their own decisions about their own product? Are they wack as well?

Yes, I'm sure the time spent putting in ass physics was all an accident, right? Lol

They caved to pressure. That's the reality of the situation. Own it, but don't act like it was what they intended.

 

[jerry1594]

Wow I can't believe Capcom is censoring Mika's personality like that

 

[Dennis]

First they came for R.Mika's ass and I said nothing.

 

[Kinyou]

What does this mean for Hot Ryu?

Eye for an eye

Cut. The. Beard.

 

[Barakov]

I think her now emotionless face is worse.

That's probably what she thinks of the change.

 

[Crossing Eden]

It will always be in our dreams.
Rip. Buttslap. 2015-2015.

Fuck people who see sexism everywhere and can't deal with human body.

Ok... For the love of god...no one who supports altering things like a camera zoom in on a butt slap:
-can't deal with the human body
-is a puritan
-wants to censor everything
-is too easily offended


That comes up every time whenever people misuse the word censorship.

 

[NotLiquid]

What happened with Skullgirls?

What did skullgirls do?

Edited one or two animation frames for some of the characters to show less panty shot. People made such a big deal about it that they started asking for refunds and the developers felt the need to respond.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Also is this confirmed to be from an improved build and not just reusing whatever stuff was in the beta a little while ago?

There was a Capcom event today with the most current build. The videos and news being brought in are from that.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Damn, when internet outrage stumps creative freedom it really has gone too far.

Seems to me like it's Capcom exercising their own creative freedom. No? xD

 

[Flowmoney]

Guys that is not censorship , it is called localization.

 

[Trickster]

They better fucking not

 

[Werewolf Jones]

It's US fault

A lot of the core designs are more Americanized though so it's probably true.

 

[Battlechili]

no costume was changed. it's not even out in japan

I corrected myself; I don't follow Street Fighter so I hadn't realized. I feel silly now.

Why would OP post this then if the game is still in development? Its extremely misleading.

What happened with Skullgirls?

What did skullgirls do?

Some animation frames were edited to remove panty shots (not all of them. There are still plenty of panty shots). Just a few, although from what I've heard it was done because the team felt that some of their animation frames weren't up to par with the rest and the frames looked awkward and out of place. Not actually done out of any desire to censor things. Or so I've heard.

 

[ClintonBowman]

Wow I can't believe Capcom is censoring Mika's personality like that

This wins the thread, man.

 

[Numb]

I don't think Capcom can pull a Bob Ross.

Gotta go back to my happy place and forget this.
Wait. That was my happy place.
Capcoooom!

 

[Dali]

Seems like such an arbitrary change. Between camy's thong and look at my ass win pose, Laura's thong, Mika's thong and death by sny snu critical art, and super jiggle physics the thing that went over the line was the ass smack?

 

[Noaloha]

I do not give a flying shit. Just do me a solid and make me a game about fighting, Capcom. I don't need or prefer a game about titillating fighting.

 

[EvilKatarn]

I think her now emotionless face is worse.

Looks like a wrestler who's sad because they were told to tone it down on stage since the network keeps getting complaints.

 

[Noray]

Yes, I'm sure the time spent putting in ass physics was all an accident, right? Lol

They caved to pressure. That's the reality of the situation. Own it, but don't act like it was what they intended.

What pressure? Can you seriously point to like a single article or something of people being mad about this?

Good lord the only people easily offended here are people who are SO MAD at little changes like this.

Keeping the outfit and everything but removing the butt slap is silly though.

 

[SolidSnakex]

What about the people who are easily offended by a creator making their own decisions about their own product? Are they wack as well?

Ono seemed to like it quite a bit since he posted this when she was announced

 

[Anticol]

The dumbest part of this change is the the ass slap was the least offensive part of Mikas design. Why get rid of it? It was hilarious.

What's offensive about Mika? please explain if possible.

 

[kadotsu]

I hope Teen Wolf gets canceled in retaliation.

 

[DangerLocker]

The dream is dead

 

[CelticVegas]

But this is perfectly fine people!
Jesus.

 

[K.Sabot]

Make it canon.

 

[Basketball]

What does this mean for Hot Ryu?

 

[orochi91]

Good.

It was really trashy and over-the-top.

 

[GuardianE]

Guys that is not censorship , it is called localization.

What pressure? Can you seriously point to like a single article or something of people being mad about this?

There actually was some blog outrage, and a bit of outcry in SFV Beta and reveal threads. They were definitely outnumbered, but they were there.

 

[Kinyou]

Guys that is not censorship , it is called localization.

Not like we know if it's still in the japanese version

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

Glad I'm on the PC version... they'll just mod it back in... along with fixing all the play dough hair and maybe replacing that tutorial/story art with something more serviceable.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

But this is perfectly fine people!
Jesus.

Capcom made MK?

My mind is blown.

 

[ApharmdX]

She's Japanese tho

PAAG, then.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I mean, it's a dumb Super, but unless you replace it with something better, you might as well show the whole thing.

Well yes, its supposed to be a dumb super. She's a wrestler. Her costume and everything about her is supposed to be dumb.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

SF V coming for NX confirmed!

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Edited one or two animation frames for some of the characters to show less panty shot. People made such a big deal about it that they started asking for refunds and the developers felt the need to respond.

And let us remember, the people angry enough to demand refunds over some removed underwear shots aren't the crazy ones. They're the normal ones. It's everyone else who is crazy.

 

[Geek]

Damn there's some serious butthurt in this thread

 

[Orochinagis]

What happened to Chun li face?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Good.

It was really trashy and over-the-top.

So, like professional wrestling?

 

[kadotsu]

Damn there's some serious butthurt in this thread

How would you even know with the new camera angle?

 

[Sayad]

I'd get it if they dressed her better, as is, this change is pointless.

I think her now emotionless face is worse.

You can see the sorrow in her eyes, she does not approve.
