On the contrary, it's boring because it's such a creatively bankrupt cliché.Oh please.
I'll accept the stupidity, but boredom has got nothing to do with this.
Well, of course, that's the main issue, it's just compounded by the fact that it's a ridiculously awkward pose to begin with.Boob/butt pose is an annoying pose to see (for some people) because it's yet another flag for gender inequality in society through objectification and sexualization
In a interview with Director of Brand Marketing and Esports for Capcom, Matt Dahlgren... the changes were made because Street Fighter is a family friendly franchise and to keep a T rating.
Family friendly. <nods>
Well, this makes much more sense than Ono explanation (unless something was lost in translation) and as the changes were made around the rating approval, it was not very difficult to guess. Good to have the confirmation.
To be fair, the ESRB can be dicks about this kind of stuff. We lost a Tharja trophy in Smash 4 because of them.In a interview with Director of Brand Marketing and Esports for Capcom, Matt Dahlgren... the changes were made because Street Fighter is a family friendly franchise and to keep a T rating.

America makes up a lot of their sales, so I wouldn't be surprised. If I recall, it was the ESRB who didn't take kindly to the upskirt shots for Peach & Tharja's trophy.So they changed the game for everyone, because of the american rating system? I don't believe this.

Don't forget guys and gals, the ESRB doesn't just slap a T or an M on a game, they also have the full content descriptors and it's likely the ass slap was apparent enough to add a "sexual content" tag on there that may not have otherwise shown up. I seem to recall they had a rating done a couple months back that had this board convinced the 2P bounce was there to stay so perhaps Capcom just wants to remove that from the equation ?
I still don't really understand the big deal. I got into the stress test on thursday for a few minutes and didn't really notice the difference. Certainly it doesn't linger so low for so long but between the animation and sound effects , there's no mistaking what's going on there. Literally all that's missing is those 12 frames of jiggling butt cheek , which are still happening, just below where the camera is looking now.
But here we are, 2 threads and hundreds of comments later.
No, because nobody gives two shits about other very common poses, like crossed arms or whatever, and they certainly don't become "boring clichès" because of that.On the contrary, it's boring because it's such a creatively bankrupt cliché.
Bait for what exactly? I think I explained myself below that paragraph you quoted. Yeah, her ass is used as a weapon in the rest of the move, in a comical fashion, but the SLAP specifically was something more of a kinky extra, imho - and since that is the thing being removed, either Capcom or PEGI has the same thoughts about that.
Here's the full quote:
Ah yes, "family friendly" fighting game Street Fighter where random strangers beat the crap out of each other in the most ridiculous ways possible.
That's what they say but it's the most ridiculous claim in the world and probably just PR. There are dozens of games under the sun with T ratings containing far, far more content than something like Mika's animations, even fellow fighting games like Guilty Gear or DoA are T-rated. The ESRB are lenient when it comes to this.
This would have made most sense to me, but:Don't forget guys and gals, the ESRB doesn't just slap a T or an M on a game, they also have the full content descriptors and it's likely the ass slap was apparent enough to add a "sexual content" tag on there that may not have otherwise shown up.

There was no sexual content tag? Then how did the camera change help the ratings?Actually....

ESRB Rating: Mature with Blood and Gore, Intense Violence. It seems that Street Fighter 5 may have received a preliminary ESRB rating of Mature for the first time in franchise history, which is big news for the development of this new title. Though Street Fighter has its fair share of violence, it has never skirted above a teen rating, with "gore" being completely new for the franchise as well."
So yeah, it seems like it was quite possible this was done to ensure a T rating. It still seems a bit odd that a buttslap would bump it up to M but then I've heard the ESRB tends to be pretty inconsistent anyway.
This would have made most sense to me, but:
