What track event has you wearing a bikini?
What track and field event does Ibuki play? lol.
A non-lewd Laura costume
Hell has frozen over
Well...less lewd, anyway
Rashid looks dope, this should've been his original outfit.
....why?
why would an unreted sports costume that has nothing to do with his character be his original outfit?
...There is nothing lewd about that outfit...
Laura's unnecessary cleavage says otherwise.
Edit: Unless there are female soccer leagues where the players have awesome cleavage that I don't know about
I'll hold that L. I don't watch track and field.

Besides the name, a footballer throwing tornadoes with his feet and doing dives in the air doesn't scream middle eastern to me, and his ethnicity has as much to do with his character as anything else.Because it looks a lot better. Afaik his abilities define the character, not his scouter or garb.

It's indoor volleyball, and no they don't have that much cleavage. Capcom couldn't help themselves.

Really? On Capcom's blog they're saying it's a football costume, but w/e. If they were designing a luge costume for Laura I'm sure they'd give her a boob window or something

Capcom fucked up. Laura's is volleyball, Rashid's is football and Ibuki's is track and field or whatever it's called.Really? On Capcom's blog they're saying it's a football costume, but w/e. If they were designing a luge costume for Laura I'm sure they'd give her a boob window or something
Laura as an indoor volleyball player is so inspired. SFV might actually beat Overwatch for the Lifetime Cosmetic DLC Award (which is a real thing that I just made up) at the end of this gen.
Yeah, a UI overhaul would be nice, and they should also include the comments from their CFN site. They have content there and don't take advantage of it, it's ridiculous. One shouldn't need to go to the CFN site to check how the colors you want to buy look on the costume.I just wish Capcom would highlight the damn costumes and colours in a presentable way in their own game before they pick up that award.

Laura's costume is perfectly´ok.Laura's unnecessary cleavage says otherwise.
Laura's costume is perfect.
I hope she has some color variants with a darker SF3 Sean-like skin tone, like she does with her default.

Ibuki's costume is just so... hnnnng.
Laura's, while I hate the character passionately, is great. Incredibly accurate to the sport as well as a subtle nudge to an otherwise unimportant character trait. And I'm also in love with women's volleyball, for both the competition and yes, the plot.
Rashid's is easily the best though. Not only is the costume itself amazing, but it's just another example of how much Capcom really cares about ME representation. I say that as an Arab-American myself that otherwise doesn't at all care about being racially represented in games.
Shaheen in T7 is such a boring and generic character. "I'm Arab. My VA is a generic Arab cartoon dub voice. My life is based on honor and peace. All of my costumes are traditional Arab garb. In case you couldn't tell, I'm Arab". Meanwhile, Rashid nails nearly every subtle point imaginable. He's a guy who does crazy shit to have fun. His theme, much as I hate it, is a mix of both traditional instruments and electronic in the style popular with most young Arabs. His default is based on technology, something more fortunate Arabs love to collect and interact with. His story alt is just a street dude with sweet kicks, representative of Arab sneakerheads (of which there are a ton). And this outfit manages to perfectly represent his dedication to his favorite sport, which is obvious if you ever actually visit the ME, but you'd never guess it from a western, and likely oriental, POV. Trust me. Arabs might even beat Latinos for their dedication to football.
Shaheen seems like he was designed by an outsider trying to fish for Arab buyers. Rashid, however, was designed by somebody who has studied Arab pop culture extensively, or possibly even is Arab himself.
In fairness to you and the other guy, I can see how people not familiar with track and field would question such attire. But apparently it's supposed to be for aerodynamic purposes, removing air drag and such.
Coincidentally, Laura's cleavage is also designed to remove air drag.

Cool read, I love Rashid too. Capcom gave him a heavy focus in the storymode as well. Here's hoping he gets into Marvel.
