Some of those Birdie and Karin costumes seem like missed opportunities, wonder if they'll be DLC down the line.

no worries, i bet they'll be sold later.

 

[spindashing]

BRUH Karin C tho

That Ryu is godlike

 

[Mat-triX]

Wait, if the screenshot is from the Japanese artbook, why is dictators name "Bison" and not "Vega"?

 

[PandaPedinte]

I like the Karin B style.

 

[RM8]

I like what we got, but the more "3D fighter" looking screenshot looks really cool. Ryu should have really had another default, and casual Birdie looked so awesome. On the other hand, all Karin concepts look awful IMO.

 

[Matrix XII]

I kinda like that Karin better.

 

[dragonzdogma]

i thought scans were a no,no...So whats the loop hole here?
awesome ryu costume btw

 

[Cyber Caesar]

Street Fighter needs a good visual kick in the ass. Have no fear...

 

[mollipen]

That meganekko Karin oooohhhh mmmmyyy ggggoooooooodddd.

 

[TheSeks]

Birdie and Karin look way better than their SF5 counterparts here.

Ryu looks like a flaming dumpster fire here, along with that horrible UI/M.Bison in the first shot. Blech.

 

[Sulik2]

Ha the early previs tests look better then the actual game.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I thought Ryu overcame the Satsui in SFIII?

Is sf3 canon anymore?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Is sf3 canon anymore?

Sf3 is set after 4 and 5

 

[Lights and Waves]

Any of these designs are better than what we got tbh.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

These Karins look like rejected concepts for Bayonetta. The one we got is much better especially her alt costume:

 

[Skilletor]

I thought Ryu overcame the Satsui in SFIII?

He overcame it by the events of SF3. This is before that. It's pretty prevalent in the story.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Are the SNK guys still working for capcom
That ryu stance is exactly like kyo, and yeah I also see krilizard (kof 99 boss) there.

 

[Ophelion]

These Karins look like rejected concepts for Bayonetta. The one we got is much better especially her alt costume:

Dude, c'mon. That alt costume is sooooooooooo boring. Colorless, single flat fabric. No layers or depth. I thought Karin was supposed to be some kind of rich girl fashionista. You can't lay out pleebs looking like you're dressing up for junior prom. It's unseemly.

 

[EulaCapra]

There could still be a Hot Shirtless Bandaged Ryu?

Thank you Chris Redfield fans!

 

[hikarutilmitt]

Gimme Karin A as well as Karin B with the glasses and shoes from Karin C.

 

[Piers]

Sf3 is set after 4 and 5

Unspoken rule: no game is allowed to be set after SFIII

 

[Kinsei]

I would buy disco Birdie. Capcom please have it on the store in March.

 

[Camp1nCarl]

First screenshot looked like the Tekken x Street Fighter crossover.

 

[pillowtalk]

Karin's default hair design bothers me way more than these concept costumes.

That bison reminds me of the unused Superman Lives costume.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Dude, c'mon. That alt costume is sooooooooooo boring. Colorless, single flat fabric. No layers or depth. I thought Karin was supposed to be some kind of rich girl fashionista. You can't lay out pleebs looking like you're dressing up for junior prom. It's unseemly.

What. She looks classy as hell in that costume. I take it you don't get fashion.

 

[Ogawa-san]

We were SO close from having a modern SF with characters without body proportions of a balloon animal...

Oh well, at least 5 is not as bad as 4.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Karin C and suited Birdie are fairly fantastic, tbqh.

 

[Wild Card]

Karin's default is way better than any of those alts, glad we got what we have now.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Unspoken rule: no game is allowed to be set after SFIII

At least not until they bridge the gap, which I hope SFV will eventually do

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Them suspenders on Karin. Lordy.

 

[Alienous]

Sf3 is set after 4 and 5

It is?

I thought SFV was after SF3 (white-haired Bison, Charlie Nash, etc)

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I've just noticed the "MACAU" letters in the background. Early Fang's stage?

 

[hikarutilmitt]

At least not until they bridge the gap, which I hope SFV will eventually do

Which is when we have Karin and Sakura take over as the main 2 and Ryu and Ken become the old wise men.

It is?

I thought SFV was after SF3 (white-haired Bison, Charlie Nash, etc)

Nope. SF3 is the end so far. We need it to go further, of course, but that would also mean there are a good number of characters that would have to update like 5 to still "make sense" in the context.

Thankfully SFV has done a good number of updates to things that it may well happen at 6 or something.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

dude that dapper birdie is the stuff of my dreams

 

[Sayad]

Prefer the costumes Karin got in the game, but I need that hair style.

 

[Ophelion]

What. She looks classy as hell in that costume. I take it you don't get fashion.

Classy is a kind way to say out of date. I'll take costumes with character any day of the week. That boring black dress is not fit to be used as a washrag by Karin's butler.

Spoiler

Breaking character: I'm being mean about the dress for amusement's sake. I'm not out to get anyone. You like it if you want. We have alt costumes specifically so everyone can get what they want.

 

[Red Fire]

Karin a and b look goooooooooood wish we got one of those. Karin c looks like shit tho.

Ryu looks dope. Bison too.

 

[Pyramid head]

Everything here looks better than any of the alts we got so far.

 

[Remapped88]

What if that Bison ties in with

Ed

and his

Psycho Power

in the full story?

Pretty sure

Spoiler

Ed

was the kid in

Balrog's(Boxer)

SFIV ending. I was legit surprised when he showed up in SFV since I guess that it's true that Capcom really did want the storyline to go somewhere. I expect that he might be future DLC.

[The Bankslammer]

formal, casual, and dolls birdie are all excellent

i think karin's default is perfect tbh so i'm glad we got that. not really a fan of these, but i guess i wouldn't mind C as an alt

 

[RedAssedApe]

ryu and bison look awful there. keep your tribal tattoos away pls

 

[A.E Suggs]

I fuckin love Karin C

Why did we get the plain shitty dress for the alt costume (((((((

Um I actually love the dress, I don't know why you hate it since it fits her to a T. I'll take a better design of karin C, give her some buisness clothes like a full suit.

That said on the issue of the artstyle of in those pics I'm glad they didn't go with this overall style, its just not SF. Every fighter nowadays has its own style and you don't see them changing it.Tekken and MK have always been more realistic and you don't see them doing a style similar to SF for a reason.

 

[Frimaire]

Man, Karin lucked out with her final design...

 

[qcf x2]

Did they just toss the stage or...? Because it looks way better than any SFV stage.

 

[synce]

Karin got downgraded :/

 

[Slamtastic]

Wow, that Ryu vs Bison shot is so much more interesting than the final game.

Also where the hell is my classic Karin costume, Capcom?

 

[jstripes]

Capcom played it waaaay too safe with costumes for SFV.

It's like they thought people wouldn't think it's Street Fighter if they didn't wear virtually identical costumes to their previous appearances.

(But then there's Ken.)

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Ryu looking boss!

I thought Ryu overcame the Satsui in SFIII?

Street Fighter 3 to Street Fighter is what Toykyo Drift is to The Fast and the Furious, it happened....eventually, so let's makes games that go around that timeline, lol.

 

[GoldandBlue]

Easily prefer the Karin we got.

Disappointed we didn't get that Ryu.

 

[The Hermit]

When it was first revealed I though it was too much like IV, but now I realize we got the better end of the deal.
