I'm confused... people think she looks ugly? Is this that Cammy BS all over again?
No she's ugly though! I mean, look at those very specific unflattering angles!
The whole of sfv is ugly now?
that's a totally valid opinion, but at the same time this game reallys benefits from being seen in person. I know that's kind of a whack thing to say, but it really stood out to me during the beta in a way that it just does not even in HQ 60fps footage

I was just about to post this here. Good thing you did.
Yeah. Either they've done away with the 3d in game models being the portraits or the faces are the newest faces that are yet to be updated in the playable builds.

THIS.
Am sorry but in motion SF 5 >>>>> GG Xrd. GG looks amazing in screenshots , but in motion SF 5 just animates sooo fking fluid. Its like butter melting in your mouth.
GG on the other hand looks gorgeous in screens , but animations are sub-par.
Just go watch that Karin trailer in 1080/60FPS , its a work of art.
I know I'll probably get destroyed for saying this on gaf, but I've never really liked how Xrd looks.
She's Japanese.

I didn't either, I prefer SFV's higher contrast look.
Is this why I don't get the complaints? Every character has looked great to me from the get go. (save for some choice screen grabs but you can get a bad one from any game)
Eh. It's kind of apples to oranges. Xrd for sure looks good, but I'm of the opinion that nothing touches SFV for animations. I also greatly prefer the "action figure" look to a straight up anime aesthetic and it's for sure more unique.

Did you like how older GG games looked?

Nah it's true. On twitter,on news sites, and 2ch they mostly call her ugly. In fact before the recent alts were shown they were calling SFV "Busu 5" or Ugly 5 in English. It's due to not just the female characters, but also Ken.
Completely different artstyles. I think SF5 looks better in many ways than Xrd. I do love the way Xrd looks.
So, no, I don't think it looks way better than SF5. Most of the characters are just as roided up in the conversion to polygons as the SF5 people, but since they look closer to the sprites that so many people love, that gets glossed over. imo imo imo.
Yeah, this. I'd be hard pressed to say which one I prefer.
I disagree SF4 looked great as does SFV, I really think the complaints are crazy for the looks but I have for pretty much every single comment on the look of the game.
Guilty Gear looks good but it doesn't look as good as SFV even just from the beta I played.
It's literally like watching an anime since that's exactly what they were going for. Doesn't really have the same charm or same level of unique SF5 has. And SF5's animations are leagues ahead.
SF V is proving that animations can still be king in a 3D modeled fighting game. I always liked Xrd's art style but I felt that the gameplay was stilted stuck in 2D. Capcom's last few fighters have always given the player an unbelievable sense of movement and control in my opinion, and sets them above the rest of the competition.

I always thought her parents gave her a Western name. From an out-of-universe perspective it'd go well with her Western hairstyle.

Not even close. Unless you prefer jaggies and bad animation. Yes I know intentionally bad for gameplay reasons.
I don't know if you realize this but SF4, MvC3, TvC and Xrd use the exact same method of clipped animation.
If you don't do clipped animation you get whack-looking moves like Ryu's sweep in SF5 which looks awful in the context of an unrealistic fighting game.
Agreed, Dante was so perfect I wished that I could just play him with my arcade stick in DMC3. A 3D arcade action game meant for arcade sticks would be hella tight.
I always thought MvC3 looked amazing. Capcom captures character and personality through movesets so well.

Nah. Karin (Kah-Rin) is a normal Japanese name.

The only person who looks hideous is ken at the moment everyone else is fine.
I agree completely. The art direction in MvC3 is incredible. Visually, that game is going to hold up forever.
V Ken is a huge step up from IV Ken, IMO.

Unrivaled, really. I wish ASW could do attack animations half as well as Capcom.
haha, I've imagined the exact same thing. smash gameplay in the form of an action game would also be dope.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was better, IMO.
Still, I am preferring SFV over SFIV's art direction... with the sole exception of Ken, whose banana hair won't stop bugging me.
This man speaks the truth.
I much prefer SFV, the animation in the game is on another level.

Called it.
I'm sure this has been asked, but have we seen any new Cammy footage since the DLC pictures? I'm still hoping the change was all a misunderstanding.
Sure. Admittedly, I only ever really played GGX though.
SF4 Ken looked a lot worse and didn't get nearly as much hate for some reason.
I prefer SF5 Ken any day, and his face seems upgraded already too.
hopefully everyone has an alt out day 1, not just the pre-order ones we've seen. the others got totally new hairstyles, so ken will surely have a good alternative.
NRS definitely improved on that.
It all depends on the angle, Kitana for example looks a lot worse in her winning pose unmasked than here. But still, cant deny the improvement especially after seeing your examples.

You're crazy. I hate Marvel, but even I will defend how it looks. Marvel made quit the fgc weekly thread for a while because it was filled with nothing but Marvel.

Wow he looks better, now all we need to fix is the hair. Personally I don't mind the hair style but they gotta fix it somehow.

Hum. What do you think it lost, then? I feel like the visual style transferred exceptionally well.
qcf AA, IMO.

So long as Karin continues to act like the biggest snob in the world, all is well.
I don't think Chun is in any danger. She looks good as is and all they've done so far is make her face a little thinner.

Face looks great now, but they need to fix the hair. Nothing against the hairstyle but it still looks like bananas.
I could see people not liking the art style of MvC3, although I disagree. I think for the hardware the game balanced its graphics and performance well.
Saying MvC2 looked bad though, I can't see how you could say that. Playing that game on a Dreamcast with a VGA box and a scanline generator is a glorious thing. It had a style of its own, with amazing sprites and 3D backgrounds for its time. Plus it's colorful as fuck.
Hair is the biggest flaw in sf5 so far. Except for Ryu and chun, it all looks bad.
Mvc2 is nothing but a bunch of sprites from lots of games with a fraction of the animation they originally had. It absolutely looks horrible.

The sprites were awful in tandem w/ the 3D backgrounds (which were fine). It was very jarring, and the frames of animation felt like they were at an all time low. CvS2 looks like shit to me for the same reasons. The style of these games is fine, the execution of the visuals though, awful.
