Balrog is going to be in the Street Fighter V June update on Friday

There's plenty of gratuitous skin in SFV, one character not having that in her default costume shouldn't be a huge deal.

For the record, there already is "one character not having that in her default costume."

Karin, who is almost completely covered up in her default.

Actually, Chun, too, since she's wearing tights and a dress.
 
Dead serious. One character that appeared at the end of a generation and skipped the next. I'd say Chun-Li is cheesecake but these sprites are barely even graphic and are still super tame compared to any of the girls in SF5.

Dude. Cammy is literally the second girl (IIRC) added to the SF roster and her win pose was her ass sticking out to the camera. In SF Alpha, Chun Li's outfit was a skin tight outfit. in SFA 2, Sakura was the school girl trope with flashes of underwear. In SFA3 there was Cammy showing her ass again, R. Mika's outfit, and two dolls. In SF3 series, Chun Li's outfit was her traditional outfit (yay thighs!), Elena isn't wearing much, Ibuki's outfit is cut in several places, and they couldn't even resist showing a tease of Makoto's bra.

I don't even have to mention the bunch of shirtless dudes, big arms, all the abs and such with all of the dudes in the series. Capping off with Urien and Gill saying "fuck it" and fighting in undies because they are awesome.

It is what is and I'm certainly not condemning it. It's fantasy fighting. But you're blind if you don't see the cake. =)
 
Not a big fan of the new Juri.

Well, she's not bad but her old design was better and more stylish with nice details like the spider pattern and stuff.
Her new outfit just looks like "yeah bodysuit! yeh cleavage!", so yeah I think it's just meh.

(and wtf her boobs are bigger, that wasn't necessary lol)

I made Urien more palatable for western audiences. Waiting for my job offer, Capcom.
 
Loved the trailer.
Huge improvements for the three character models, good music, Balrog seems fun, Juri looks fantastic, and Urien looks like a boss even with that weird voice.
That Karin stage and alt are pretty cool too, unlike what she got before. Same for the Balrog alts. Amazing update we just got!

And for the hot topic there: I love Juri, I don't mind skin showing at all, but the black latex is actually a great design choice there. Seriously.

I don't think that game has every been considered awesome. At least competitively.

Also, SF has never really beefcaked the men. Hell, it wasn't even that cheesecake heavy until 4 and even it wasn't as blatant as 5.

You'd be wrong in both cases.
 
So I come back after a day of moving house (again...) while being excited for Balrog and his stage, to find out we're getting even more stuff and even more stages!

I say: WOW! That Beach stage looks incredible! People standing in actual water!? Rival Schools cameos!? A MONKEY SURFING PAST ON A SEA TURTLE!!!???

And you know what might be better still? The fact that Urien and Juri are both standing in front of what seem to be 2 more new stages (assuming all of this art will be translated into a stage at some point, as many if not most of them have). Ohhhh mama!

So this update has the following

Ibuki
Balrog
Stage Interactions added
Las Vegas Stage
Beach Stage
Alternate Stages
Full Store Finally Open - Access to all Premium Costume
Karin Premium Beach Costume
Cinematic Story Mode
Juri ans Urien Preview in Story
Targets/Daily Challenges
Better Matchmaking and less wait times

This is quite a big update nearly a relaunch. If only Capcom just waited until now to release this game. Hopefully if they deliver word of mouth improve the sales.

What a list indeed! If new stage interactions for the old stages are actually a part of this update as well, I'd be over the moon. Not sure if this is happening though, even when it seems wasteful not to use them from the new story mode.

Edit: ZeroJul, help me hold all of this excitement!
 
Your wording implied that there were NO characters that were not showing gratuitous skin in their default outfit.

Even if that wasn't your intention, I was making it clear that that was not the case.

Oh, I guess you're right. My bad, that wasn't what I meant. I'm kind of retarded. I find it silly that we have one official image of Juri and people are already photoshopping her clothes off and acting like its some travesty that she's covered up.
 
Here's a glimpse at Balrog's story (including what's likely Urien's story alt & confirmation that the white suit w/ gold gloves will be Balrog's story alt).

Urien: "And that's the end of that chapter." *scarf toss*


Bengus is outta control with them Rog lips.
 
Oh man, that Karin bikini alt is incredible

Not even saying that in a thirsty way — it just looks classy with her hat, shades and curly locks

it is silly and too funny. aw

i keep refreshing this page look for more stuff on Balrog since eventhubs.com/SRK.com are blocked at my work

this thread is still very entertaining.
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";208505856]Urien would actually look pretty good in a black turtleneck without the jacket. Tech company CEO-style.[/QUOTE]

That would be kind of hot.

It's also annoying how often 'censorship' is being brought up too, like yeesus people.

And yeah Urien in a turtleneck would look sick. People seem to forget that re/designing a character can actually involve adding clothes.
