Amazing how those costumes are more expensive than in any other fighting game, given that they're releasing about 3 every 6 months...

 

[Lord Azrael]

When I saw the title I was hoping it'd be all business attire. Ryu in a suit would've been badass.

Firefighter Alex

That's a stripper outfit if I've ever seen one.

 

[Forearm Star]

All this fight money and no costumes for my main to spend it on

Firefighter Alex

I know someone on this forum will be happy with this lol.

Unfortunately non-story costumes are not purchasable with Fight Money anyway.

The fight money system is so odd.
The again you can't buy KI characters with KI gold so it's like the opposite problem there.

 

[Pejo]

Wonder what a pie chart would look like for costume spread. Chun Li > Ryu > Juri > rest of cast combined, is my guess.

Just as well, Capcom doesn't want my money

 

[YianGaruga]

Stop this madness Capcom. Sex doesn't sell in serious franchises like Street Fighter

 

[Neoxon]

Stop this madness Capcom. Sex doesn't sell you know

To be fair to Alex, Hot Ryu gained quite a bit of traction.

 

[RedAssedApe]

"Firefighter" Alex? Nah, that's Stripper Alex.

Yeah but no manly men would buy the costume if you called it that. Since it's a "firefighter" outfit tho it's ok. Lol

 

[nachum00]

They just keep adding superficial crap and ignoring all the problems this game has.

 

[LiK]

Alex looks like a male stripper.

 

[NastyBook]

Cheerleader R. Mika

That midsection. Ready? OK!

 

[Gunstarheroes]

I mean, having see the costume shop for DOA5, the fact the female characters (and more so a few specific ones) get way more costumes doesn't shock me. Weren't the swimsuits the best selling costume, or at least really close when they first talked about which ones sold the best?

 

[LakeEarth]

With this update, Ryu, Juri, Cammy and Mika are tied for second at 6 costumes each.

 

[pizzacat]

Just what sfv needed

 

[SolidSnakex]

They just keep adding superficial crap and ignoring all the problems this game has.

The people making costumes would not be involved in the gameplay and features anyway.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Chun doesn't need more costumes.

Missed opportunities:
- Grocer Ken
- Janitor Bison
- Beer Vendor FANG

You forgot "Hobo Ryu" although I guess being a hobo is more of a hobby than a job though.

also, how would it differ from his default costume?

 

[Ban Puncher]

I'm just here to complain about chun getting more costumes. Please give some other characters some love.

Oh so Chunners get's a School Outfit and a Work Outfit.

Thigh Bias at maximum over at capcom.

I hated in SFIV how the vainilla characters had one more costume than the rest of the cast

Now with this game I flat out have OCD with the disparity between Chun Li and the rest of the cast

Chun needed another costume

Also doesn't Chun-Li already have her day job costume in the game? She's a cop, not a business lady. I guess they could have gone with some sort of sexy meter maid outfit if Chun must have more costumes but at least keep to the lore Capcom!

Finally another Chun costume. She definitely needed more love.

How many costumes does Chun have in total now!?

Not that I'm complaining seeing as she's my main.

Actually I am complaining a little as I would like some parity with the whole cast.

More love in the character balancing department maybe

Correction, they do 2 at a time + 1 for Chun. Seriously, the only costume packs that Chun wasn't in was the Halloween and Christmas ones.




This will be her eighth costume.

As I mentioned in the previous thread, note that Balrog, Birdie, Dhalsim, FANG, Guile, Bison, Rashid and Urien still only have one premium costume. Chun has six.

Another Chun costume for MOV. I don't think that many people play Chun now right?!

That Mika outfit has me close to spending money...

 

[kunonabi]

firefighter Alex is excellent although I prefer the top right concept. Probably his best look until the nostalgia costumes release. Assuming they ever do that is.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Why does Street Fighter have the worst costumes?

 

[Ban Puncher]

Stop this madness Capcom. Sex doesn't sell in serious franchises like Street Fighter

Crossing Eden's alt account E X P O S E D

 

[shira]

The people who work in firefighter outfits like the one Alex is wearing aren't firefighters.

I'm surprised the hose isn't more phallliclike

I am officially giving up hope. My heart can't take it anymore...

 

[Malice215]

It's a shame that the other characters are being left behind for new costumes, but Chun-Li gonna get this work!

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'm surprised the hose isn't more phallliclike

modders will fix that.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Seems like fighting games these days are giving some characters more costumes than others.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Will Birdie ever get any fucking outfits?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Will Birdie ever get any fucking outfits?

If anyone needs a classic outfit/look it's him

 

[Hubb]

.

I actually like this Chun costume, I am just salty my main isn't getting more/good costumes.

 

[Numb]

Will Birdie ever get any fucking outfits?

If it ain't a nostalgia one that gets rid of his ugly fat redesign then they shouldn't bother

 

[Ceallach]

People complaining about lack of costumes should start playing DOA5. You can spend literally thousands of dollars.

 

[KaYotiX]

glad i kinda stopped playing SF V, i main chun and id have to have all her costumes because....reasons lol

 

[Platy]

I feel like every other week there's more costumes being announced. But hey who doesn't like fighting game dress up?
Edit: R Mika looks like the girl from Arms.

Alex looks like the most intense male stripper ever

Basically my reaction

 

[HStallion]

Ryu's costume should just be his normal Gi because we all know he'll never hold down a 9 to 5 job. Wandering around as a martial arts vagrant is his true calling.

 

[sixteen-bit]

If it ain't a nostalgia one that gets rid of his ugly fat redesign then they shouldn't bother

There's a mod for Alpha Birdie.

the bigger problem is his goofy animations, because they don't go away

 

[Chairhome]

R. Mika's cheerleading costume is more conservative than her regular.

I need to start playing again

ESPN-ready!

Default Mika costume remains her best.

Even her beach outfit is more conservative -_-

Best design in the game.

 

[Hellshingu]

So is this the "still to-be-announced content coming to Street Fighter V at the end of April" from Harrison's blog post yesterday?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

 

[nachum00]

Best design in the game.

It honestly is. He also has the best animations

 

[Saint Gregory]

More patches plus one of those bags of hobo food on a stick things?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

All jokes aside, Chun-Li getting all the costumes isn't surprising. The Queen of Street Fighter and female character costumes sell the most.

Nobody plays her though. She's near the bottom in the list of most picked characters.
