They will combine there gimmicks. Karin will get a charge move where she stretches a hair curl to snap at you and Mika will get a rekka that makes her twerk towards you.

If Alex, Urien, Karin and Mika all come back, I do all hope they get character design updates. Not really interested in a plain copy & paste job into this game (which I mean just recreate their models in 3D of course).

Yeah, they could use slight (in Karin's case a big one because 20+ and sailor uniform is weird) alterations. The good thing about these characters is that they're so underused they practically feel new.

I just hope Capcom continues to show old characters first. Everyone wants new and shiny things but bitch up a storm when a veteran is missing. The new guys can be left for last so hype for them stays fresh until launch.

I tried looking for a fighting game booru but I got a LOT of nsfw stuff instead. I vaguely recall visiting the website when I browsed /fgg/.

Yeah I don't think it was a booru either.

I remember that they had entries for games where they gave basic information (system, year of release, developer and so on), and listed all the characters in that game - if applicable, also with mugshots. You could go to those characters' profiles where it listed all available info, as well as all the games that character has appeared in.
It even had a "characters similar to this one" thing going on. I remember it like, listing Yugo from Bloody Roar on KI's Sabrewulf page and such.
 
I should clarify that I mean that I don't see them changing visually in any sort of drastic/redesigned sense.

Basically the same way they treated Cammy. Overall same appearance with maybe some slight changes.

Mika needs more than slight
 
Why does Mika need a revamp? Joshis basically still look like she did back in the 90s. She's just a slightly over the top version of that.

FighterGAF, I need your help.

I'm looking for a website that indexes a lot (if not practically all) fighting game characters. It even has tags where you can look for various categories, like what weapon they use, or various attributes such as nationality or "female", "wears glasses", "barefoot" and other things as such.
And it's not Fighters Generation or some sort of wikia for a specific game. It's even got like super obscure games that only came out in specific regions.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm slapping myself for not bookmarking it and can't find it anymore.

I vaguely remember this too... Hopefully someone remembers the site

I honestly don't see them changing any of them. Visually, anyway.

V finally changed Chun Li's hair from brown to black. I guess for the sake of her looking less cartoonish.

If the rumor is true, I think there's good chance that Mika and Karin won't be blonde characters. For one, they're Japanese. Two, with Nash, Cammy and apparently Alex in the cast already, I could see them wanting to change things up.

Probably how she looks like a porn superhero and attacks with her butt, has nipple hearts, boob window, and a lot of thong goin on. I'm honestly surprised Cammy isn't wearing leggings as deeply as they wedged her Thong.

I know its the classic look and all that, but if they overplay a look like Mika's it might draw some heat online. Course then again...DOA.

Just Announce, R. Mika a new move that makes her twerk towards you AND also gets the Birdie treatment and becomes an Thick Asian, and the world thanks you and capcom for it

Apparently they didn't for DOA lol. Otherwise Team Ninja would be burned at the stake for some of those outfits.

Though if they designed a new female and she was as over the top as Mika it might be a different story since it couldn't argue "classic design" and any new character is bound to draw criticism in general in a major franchise. It is a fighting game though...these games get silly. Especially SF. Its not exactly a story intensive drama like Metal Gear where such over the top characterization draws instant fire online.

Meh no matter what Capcom does, they will draw heat online. Also I think the Japanese give no fucks.

This really is how I see it. That said...twerk rekka. What would you name it?
 
Real talk: Fighting game characters is one of the few areas where creators don't consider adding being raped as a background note in their story.
 
If Mika does eventually get announced, that thread should be interesting whether they change her design or not.

Well, duh. Cause everyone in fighting games can kick the shit out of regular people.

They turn red when they get pissed, have demon hair, carry anchors on their shoulders like it ain't no thang, and some have over 9000 weapons hidden in their sleeves. I'd argue they're the LAST people you want to run into in a dark alley late at night.
 
It's not a sex appeal thing, its just a character progression thing. When you are actually trying to represent the flow of time in a series, it just looks weird as hell to have character age X years but look no different for it. It's just weird if Karin is a 20+ year old in a school uniform. It just looks weird if R. Mika never changed her costume in like a decade(is that the time frame between Alpha and V?). The same issue of progression applies to Alex and Urien too though for them this game would be a prequel not a sequel. As a new platform, SFV is a good place to define these characters moving forward, there is no reason to have them locked into the 1990s. Also I feel taking all these designs from disparate games and eras and not trying to get them to mix well together doesn't look great in a non-crossover game.
 
I expect R Mika to be redesigned, but come on. This is a game that already has FrankenNash, and Fat Birdie, she's not that weird, even if they bring back her SFA3 look.
