Ken confirmed for Street Fighter V

Man that stick is lazy as fuck.

- No Touch Pad.

- Re-used Chun Art that Capcom already put out nothing new.

- Logos just look horribly placed.

Looks way better.
At least none of the buttons cover her butt so there's still something pretty appealing to look at there ;)
 
What the hell, all these people complaining about Ken's hair. He hasn't looked this awesome since Alpha.

Way, way better than his douchey-ass face in IV.
 
This takes place before new generation right? If so, maybe the rigors of parenthood took hold and changed him physically? Could explain the face. This could also be him trying to get back into fighting shape. Training suit and all that.
Except his face looks nothing like that in the III games, or any of the char select portraits from those games.

True, he could've gotten in shape between this game and NG (assuming V actually takes place before III) though.

No I think the issue stems from that particularly bad snap of his face from character select screen and not how he looks in-game. This is easily fixed so I'm not worried.

Overrall he looks and plays awesome from the vids.
 
Almost certainly before finals. I can't speak for stream watchers but when you're there, the ballroom clears out quick as hell as soon as finals end. Plus Ono always shows up before to take a picture of everyone doing a shoryuken.
 
Who the hell is modelling these characters? What the flying fuck is that hair? Nash's hair looks fine, Ken's... it's fucking play-doh. I really really really want to hear the justification for this.
 
And also, english voices are not mandatory for retail release. What are you smoking ?

As for recent exemples, they just released Jstars with no english voices.
 
Someone on Tumblr made some modifications to Ken's new design.

Made some tweaks to Ken’s new Street Fighter V design:

Lose those ugly bangs!
Enough with clean cut; let’s give the man some scruff.
If you’re gonna put seams all over a shirt, have them make some sense!

G’head, Capcom, this one is on the house ;)
 
Yeah they really gotta redo that hair completely.

Less yellow
Get rid of the banana bangs completely or just have a few hair strands.
Hair shorter and bun smaller

Pretty much like that above pic
 
I feel like they've done just about everything right with V so far. Ken's design is the first major misstep IMO.
 
I like the new Ken, just his face is horrible. Loved the hair, I think it's a pretty modern haircut.

Yes, he could do it without the bangs, but I think they are there just to show the great animation =P

 
The snarl on that new character. It has to be Akuma.

I love his design. Face and hair still need a little improvement but that's about it.

Black hair/dreads, yellow eyes, shoulder pads (or something), huge facial scars or face paint whatever that is, yep, sounds like Akuma.

I did think the same at first but that was before I saw an actual still of him
 
The only thing I don't like about SFV currently is the sound effects. Don't like how there is that constant "bing" that minimizes an already not as hard-hitting sound compared to SF4's sound effects.


The new stages will get more work done on them just as the China stage was upgraded so there is no worry there.


The characters mostly look great. Ryu, Nash, Chun, and Bison all look about perfect. I think Cammy needs slightly more defined eyebrows and the hair strands on both her and Ken need a little work. That could just be from the clay look SFV has going. Both of them look awesome in motion, it's only the up close models at certain parts that don't look as good as the other 4 characters. Either way, not really a big deal and in Cammy's case, they could just leave it as is and it would be close to perfect. Loved how they changed Ken.
 
Hyperbole on Tumblr. The design is fine, just needs a little more fine tuning to the model, which both Ryu and Chun-Li got between their first and second trailers...I'm sure it will get tweaked and cleaned up.
 
Wut... why didn't Ryu get this much attention to his moveset... jelly. Character looks amazing though and I'm sure they will tweak his looks considering the game is like 9 months away.
 
I really don't see the problem. It ensures a retail release & you have the option to change the voices if it really bothers you. But considering that most of the VAs had time to improve as their characters, English voices are honestly a non-issue. That reminds me, who would you guys cast for Charlie & Birdie (since they weren't in SF4, & I'm going on the assumption that everyone from SF4 will reprise their roles)? Like I said, I'd cast Matthew Mercer as Charlie, but I'm not sure about Birdie.

What's so hard to understand? I can't stand the english voiceover at all and i can't choose what to hear when i watch a tournament, if they didn't had the english voiceover at all then this problem to me wouldn't exist, yes i know this is a strictly personal problem.
That's all, i was just commenting on that.

The "needs english voices for retail" is an idiotic rule that could even affect the creator's vision of a game (this is not the case) but i wasn't arguing that because i wasn't even aware of that.
