R.Mika confirmed for Street Fighter V

I like Mika, but dudes. She's literally wearing a thong. You can't be legitimately confused at those who don't want to support every female character in the game being unapologetic fanservice.
 
So I'm interested, is there any characters that if put in SFV would move people to purchase it? I've seen several people holding out unless X character is in the roster.. I remember buying SSF4 for Guy, but I also didn't have a PS3 or Xbox360 when SF4 came out so it made sense just to get SSF4...

Not confused. Disagree with sex appeal necessarily being wrong.

One sided sex appeal is wrong. So either neuter it or give women some Jojo like characters lol.

How about having (at least) one Makoto for every Cammy, though?

Roster hasn't been revealed yet.

You mean, like Vega? Or Necalli? Two characters whose designs could easily be in Jojo?

Okay, done.

Urien and Gill rumored to be in, too? Doesn't get more Jojo than them.

BTW, it's presumptuous to assume that "women" don't like Mika, too. I've seen a number of female gamers online who are quite hype about Mika, bewbs and all. Women, as it turns out, has just as varied tastes and notions of "sex appeal" as men.
 
People are unsurprisingly reacting to the roster as it gets revealed. And lol at Necalli being anything close to a male Cammy or Mika. And they even gave Vega a shirt, lol, can you imagine the backlash if they had given Cammy pants?

They aren't really pandering designs.. They may be attractive characters, but they aren't posing for the female gaze (if that even exists in media lol). But I don't really want to tread over this argument in this thread for the 50th time...

Cross your fingers for Urien, he basically is a pillar man. It's rumored to either be him or Karin anyways, and she is a rather classy female.

Maybe if they give Urien a crotch thrust attack lol. But Urien is really about male power fantasy so I'm sure Capcom wouldn't want to add a crotch thrust. It's kind of interesting how people are all for women showing and expressing their sexuality as a sign of power, but we haven't really seen any male characters do that who are considered strong male characters..

He should get the Indra Bridge Darun Mister had. It's at 45 seconds. Even better a combo at 1:40 haha. The only crotch I can think of besides this is Jaycee from Tekken Tag 2. I would think hitting something with your crotch would be more painful than your ass though, wouldn't matter if your a man or woman.

Go watch an episode of "Free!", then tell me if "female gaze" exists.

Also, you have no idea what the intention behind the designs of Vega, Urien, or Necalli are. Your argument basically boils down to "they aren't designed to appeal to women, because they couldn't possibly be design to appeal to women." The basis of your argument seems to be the conclusion of your argument.

Uhh...Vega thrusts his crotch directly at the camera during his win pose. For the straight male, obviously.

The ultimate option select!

Female does it -> Male Gaze

Male does it -> Male Power Fantasy

I guess you're right that he thrusts his crotch in the win pose, I'll give you that. But Necalli I don't see at all.

But you are strawmening my later argument. I don't think Urien or Necalli are meant to be sexy at all. And male power fantasy is pretty obvious for both characters because they aren't doing anything that could be perceived as sexual.
 
I'd like to know why you think Necalli is a pandering design? He looks like non-green Blanka to me. About Vega, yeah, he's basically the one male SF character that's canonically attractive (or is there another one?).

Sorry for the quasi double quote on you but this sentence brought an interesting thought, since I originally came just to joke about Jojos. But I when I gave this a thought, this actually is a common trope within anime/manga. It's the bishonen, who normally are pretty strong and central heroes. For example if you play Blazblue, the likes of Jin exemplify the bishonen archetype since he is handsome, and gives a lot of fanservice within the game (also has that creepy BIG BROTHER fetish of his). They also know this and merchandise it by releasing official body pillows and stuff like that. King of Fighters does this a lot too. Benimaru is a ladies man who shows off his abs, while he is also a pretty competent fighter, being part of Kyo's Hero Team. Ash Crimson is extremely effeminate and panders while also being canonically winning a lot of fights within the plot.

I think Street Fighter likes to play beefcake more than other fighting games, so you see a lot less slender handsome types of males. Just look at the body mass of the typical street fighter character, pretty much all the females have more defined muscles than Mai. The skinniest character is Dhalsim and he still has defined muscles. I think Remy is the closest to the bishonen in a mainline SF game but he never played it up like Benimaru or Ash for example (and doesn't seem to have much of a personality).

That title screen jiggle and that ending round super. When she hits the ground on the super her boob is about to fall out. I swear it's a different animation. Ono gonna Ono.

¿And did not offend Necalli? ¿A guy who is only in a loincloth?

Actually I'm aware of Bioshonen men lol,but I can see that King of Fighters has a little more fan service in that regard. You're right that SF doesn't seem to appeal to that other than a couple characters. Either way I feel we would probably never have the equivalent male version of Mika.

The faces in SFV still feel kind of off, definetely not NRS levels, but they feel dead inside to me.

The person I was originally responding to implied that women enjoy Jojo-like designs, and I cited Necalli as one. And, behavior aside, he's definitely not a grotesque monster like Blanka:

Oops, forgot this part.

Ken. Probably Remy. Patricia has a crush on Alex, so probably Alex (check out the artwork from SF3, drawn by a woman BTW:
8XvFduJ.png

#DatAss

BTBTW, all the victory screens from SF3 were created by Ms. Kinu Nishimura...including the infamous Elena lose pose)

Gill and Urien are supposed to be "Greek statuesque"...so probably them, too.

I think Charlie isn't supposed to be bad looking, either..

And, according to Karipaku, the female SF4 player from Japan:

SRK: What initially drew you to playing Cody in Street Fighter IV?

Karipaku: Cody is so handsome, I loved him at first sight!

Lol, it's no surprise that that Alex artwork was drawn by a woman indeed. I'd probably add the twins, I think Yang is one of the only SF characters I'd find attractive IRL. I don't agree about Urien and Gill, though :x But, different strokes, I guess.

I hear the twins are quite popular with the ladies. More Specifically yang, not yun for whatever reason.

I'd agree Chun Li's face suits her, but R Mika's looks odd and so does Cammy. Nash, Ryu, Bison are fine too I guess, much better than SF4.

They all look like the character art. Mika looks especially like the illustrations of her from A3

LOL, For those of you don't know, there's a gravure idol who models for Razor, and she is known for her "assets". It's a running joke that she takes a picture of her butt with RZR Fuudo awkwardly in the background. (Sorry if I ruin the joke by explaining it).

Capcom is never subtile , with designs. though I think Yun and Yang are more based off actual professional extreme sports athelets, than those two. Like I believe the guy yun is based off of has a pony tail and wears fitted caps

C Viper is just strait up black widow, and Juri is strait up Jolyne

Like he pointed out, it's not even subtle
