So, it looks like SFV will have a vocal theme song

Wow, that looks amazing. And definitely reconfirms how absolutely shit the Bengus art is in that training mode demo (I still have hope that the rest of it will be better).

I still believe that Bengus is not related at all to these assets. They are too bad compared to his work in previous Capcom games and the artstyle is too different.

They announced the cover of the special edition box we are getting here in Korea (art by Shinkiro). Not sure if this is Asia exclusive..

It's cover for the SE box, not the actual game case cover.

I want this. What does include? Do you know its price?

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

Best news ever.

(Great OST though)

Stuff of nightmares.

The art style is quite similar to the Alpha Anthology boxart which Bengus did.

Maybe homie's been phoning it in for a decade?

Its Bengus.
Heres some recent artwork. Similar style.

Besides, I think they already said its Benugs

well you're wrong.

Yes, looks similar to the tutorial, which obviously means that this cover is crap.

Besides, I think they already said its Benugs

Yes, they said he's Bengus. But I don't want to believe he made the tutorial crap. For me Bengus did godlike art like this:

Sorry for this one, someone with really bad taste destroyed the original artwork using Photoshop:

He was too good to end making that crap. As a huge Capcom fan since the 8 bits, who even ran a Capcom fan site during years and who became making games for a living partly inspired by their games, SFV tutorial art assets are almost offensive for me.

 

[Nephtes]

That cover is crap.

Please share with us your awesome Street Fighter fan art (that you personally made of course)...

I like how Fang is tiny, and Dhalsim and Birdie are barely visible. Can't have people let see the ugly weirdos, I guess. I wonder why they keep adding these kinds of characters if the marketing is going to pretend like they're ashamed of them.

Tiny Fang looking like he's perched on Ryu's shoulder is hilarious, though

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

I'm sure back in the day in England there was a sticker set for Street Fighter in this style.

 

[Skilletor]

Please share with us your awesome Street Fighter fan art (that you personally made of course)...

Always makes me laugh when people suggest they need to be able to do a thing to have an opinion on it.

That art is a lot worse than many things bengus has done. I think it's crap, too, and no, I can't draw as well as any Capcom artist.

a person isn't alllowed to think a video game cover is bad without being able to make a better one his or herself?

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Assuming that Bengus is doing artwork for the entire story, then I think its fair that the quality of the art might not be up to his usual standard. He likely had to do tons of art in a short amount of time.
And "crap" is a pretty big exaggeration, imo. Was the tutorial art good as his previous work? No, but I wouldn't call it crap.
Now that Alpha cover? Yeah, that's pretty bad for numerous reasons.

Its the difference between am artist that only draws covers and one delivering panels for a book on the monthly.

Still think that cover is crap, though.

I'm all about critiquing art.... When there's an actual critique being made about technique or perspective or... Whatever.

Just dropping off a random "this art is crap" is a d-bag move to be sure... Especially if you have no artistic talent of your own.

It is possible to not like something while also not taking a shit on the creator...

GMG has a 25% off promotion I think (forgot the end date). The 20% new year promo should still be up though (until the 18th).

Beta 3 build? Must be pretty old by now.

Not beta, but some presentation build. Fang is playable, but probably not final tuned, and they don't allow people to play him.

 

[Village]

Capcom likes them.heck its problably why they aren't dlc. People arent going to pay for them

 

[Clawww]

guys i heard FANG is banned!!! we can bring tback that oni meme

 

[Seijuro]

So, it looks like SFV will have a vocal theme song

I really liked the corny charm of Indestructible, at least it was memorable! Looking forward to it! Seems like Man on a Mission did the ending track to Mad Max Fury Road's japanese release. Will give it a listen after work to find out what we're in for!

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Wow that Zangief finish. He seems pretty cool.

 

[Neonep]

Did they ever fix Ken's V-Skill, that thing was useless.

 

[Neoxon]

Season Pass Get!

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Digging the Laura love on that Korean SE box art.

In the other art, it sometimes seems like she's an afterthought (though, understandibly, not EVERYONE can be front and center).

 

[Qvoth]

man with a mission? ehhhh their songs are kinda meh imo

 

[GuardianE]

It's cover for the SE box, not the actual game case cover.

What the hell is that symbol in the corner?

 

[Akiyama_AE]

Can anyone tell me if Balrog is in I haven't been following the game

 

[BadWolf]

Can anyone tell me if Balrog is in I haven't been following the game

Not in the launch roster but he will be in the first round of DLC characters.

 

[sixteen-bit]

What the hell is that symbol in the corner?

reminds me of mega drive genre indicators lol

 

[Tizoc]

will the stage hazard shown upon the game's reveal over a year ago still be there?
I want to play as noodle hat chun and ryu :/

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Not in the launch roster but he will be in the first round of DLC characters.

I can't wait to see him and Ibuki.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

Not in the launch roster but he will be in the first round of DLC characters.

as long as he comes one way or another I'm satisfied thanks

 

[GorillaJu]

I didn't like Indestructible but I like the original Japanese version. Cheesy lyrics are always so much more tasteful when they're not in your native tongue.

 

[Neoxon]

Can anyone tell me if Balrog is in I haven't been following the game

He's in the first wave of DLC.

Now that Alpha cover? Yeah, that's pretty bad for numerous reasons.

Art is certainly very subjective, but I absolutely would call the tutorial art "crap." If I met somebody at a bar and they told me they were an aspiring artist and showed me that, I would ask them what else they're interested in pursuing. It looks amateur hour as hell.

[BlizzKrut]

I for one really like the tutorial art, looks clean and simple and it has a certain style that I appreciate.

 

[nded]

I don't know if I would call the art fundamentally "crap", but it certainly looks unfinished.

 

[Vice]

Yes, looks similar to the tutorial, which obviously means that this cover is crap.

Those were 20 years ago. Maybe he just decided to change his style up to something simpler.

 

[Momentary]

Whatever. Their Gundam Hot Blooded Orphans opening is so damn HYPE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-UN6uRMBRw

I be squattin' 405lbs to this song.

 

[Shadoken]

Imo Bengus has done some of the best artwork ever for Street Fighter.

I think it has a lot to do with Time and Money. Obviously Capcom would pay and give him more time to do just 1 asset for a boxart or something.
But for the entire games story mode? Yea I don't think he would have gotten as much time. I wouldn't be surprised if he had some Artists under him.

Those were 20 years ago. Maybe he just decided to change his style up to something simpler.

Nah , Its all just a matter of Quality vs Quantity.

 

[Galdelico]

I don't know if I would call the art fundamentally "crap", but it certainly looks unfinished.

This. Are we even sure those artworks were final, rather than preliminary sketches/placeholders? Honest question, I'm not assuming they are.
