I think that's the riding crop Judgement girl.


Vegas & this stage will be one of the few where I don't insta-mod out the NPCs.
 
I dunno, Ibuki's ninja costume is iconic and now she's a generic schoolgirl. I quite like Juri's new duds.



No, it's definitely not a choice. It's clear his workload is insane and he doesn't have the chops to work that quickly and that loose. Proportions are all over the place and he is making anatomical sins left and right.

This is Rob Liefeld-tier terrible for professional art. She's a grotesque snake-woman. Look ar her right HAND. That is not a "style."


That picture looks like Street Fighter fan art by a third grader.
 
My heart is about to burst looking at those images. Goddamn, I never thought Capcom would be the ones to make my fighting game waifu. Just nudge Laura's limp body a few feet further into the ocean, Karin.

pls
-Youre assuming this is his only task. hes a very senior artist so he probably has to deliver concepts, direction, managerial duties, etc

-Doing story art is easily one of the most time consuming tasks in any game, hell in Skullgirls that was one of the biggest issues in order to get content out on time, which is why the art style is kind of sketchy and that game has way less story art than SFV does

-Look at the feature as a whole, Capcom is saying takes about 4 hours to finish, then youre looking at 4 hours or more worth of art, and just one artist? Thats a tremendous understaking considering the amount of unique art each character had in the prologue alone. They are banking more on variety of content than polishing a small amount of images

-Bengus is rushed because the stories for all original characters still needed to be finished and he needs to work ahead of time so that art production is not an issue for the engineers and rest of dev, publishing team. This is something fans have a hard time relating to and if you wanna say "well fuck it I want shit to be pretty all the time fuck these assholes" thats all fine and good but Im just giving you information on how this shit actually works, especially from Japanese devs who make a routine out of working way harder than anyone in the industry, by a mile.
This got me curious, so I went ahead and checked the art compendium. I'm actually impressed by how much story they managed to tell with the sparse amount of art in vanilla Skullgirls. They really kicked it up a couple of notches with the DLC characters, though. Most of the DLC character story art has got two or three times the amount of work/images compared to vanilla character art. It walks a nice line between SFV's looser story art and BlazBlue's super clean art. The sort of painterly backgrounds in Big Band and Eliza's story modes were fantastic artistic directions to go in imo (my very uninformed opinion).

Yeah, no one at EVO is going to pick this stage if they risk not seeing below their knee.

It's more like just above ankle area, but there's a distinct difference between where your feet hit the water and the stage floor. It'll be a major problem for Tournaments.
 
This looks really good, but I'm not sure it fits her character. She seems like the modest type as far as showing skin, so I'd have thought this to be the time to cover someone up. It makes sense for her. Maybe the bikini with a waist wrap or something of that nature. Instead, they hide the tits of a character that has zero qualms with showing some of her assets and put Karin on display.

I love the hat though.


Even if Laura doesn't get a Summer premium costume, modders got u fam
Embracing that shit. This looks really good for her.

This update is truly magnificent. I wonder how Urien will be introduced in the story. Would be so good with him kicking Bison's ass just to show how much of a true boss he is. I love Bison being my main character and all but I really want to see that.

Damn, Karin in those pictures has a similar body as a girl I used to date earlier this year, and she is of Japanese descent. Damn you Capcom, my heart can only take so much in one day.
 
Karin is far from the modest type wtf.
I'm just talking about her fighting attire. She even has on shorts underneath one of her costumes doesn't she? All of it is extremely covered compared to everyone else's, isn't it? Was it not like this in Alpha? I really didn't play that game much since I hated it.

I just wish the majority of the update didn't consist of content I have to pay for. I might play Story mode two times for the Fight Money, that's it. Since Alex and Guile were temporarily free, we still have to get them, too. I don't have 400k Fight Money for 4 characters, let alone for the stages and story mode costumes.

I also don't want to buy the Season Pass, the game is not worth $90.

4 characters is 400k fight money.

karin's the type to have a private beach though. there's something to be said for royalty not having modesty, and karin is along those lines in character.

But given its nature as a fighting game, you don't actually have to buy anything to take advantage of it. I have 0 interest in playing Balrog, and won't even consider buying him, but fighting against him is something I'm very much looking forward to.

There isn't a modest bone in the body of a girl that laughs like a real Oujo-sama. Her bikini look fits her profile as a rich girl for reasons I'll explain below. Makes more sense than a British spy that runs around in a leotard or whatever it is that Chun Li wears on the job.

I think he is confusing modesty with a sense of continuity and stability in her design.
I'm just talking about her fighting attire. She even has on shirts underneath one of her costumes doesn't she? All of it is extremely covered compared to everyone else's, isn't it? Was it not like this in Alpha? I really didn't play that game much since I hated it.
Her character is supposed to be all about high class style more than modesty and it shows in the frills, drill hair, the expensive looking attire, her behavior and her butler(s)/lifestyle. Unlike some other Street Fighters Capcom has actually done a good job of updating her original aesthetic/persona, so she really stands out compared to the cast in that regard. On the other hand that doesn't stop her from wearing a bikini or tussling with hobos/martial artists and fake wrestlers. Her beach alt has got quite few accessories (many of which are probably expensive) and her hat/glasses look like something a pale rich girl would wear for sun protection. It's subtle and she walks a fine line, but her character remains intact.

I still think a skirt would fit her character better. Not because I can't imagine Karin showing any skin, but just because it would look classier, imo.

Something kinda like this:

Has this ever actually been displayed though? She is certainly confident, and definitely elitist. Karin is better than everyone else because of status, ability, lineage, etc... so I get that. She just doesn't seem like the type to show too much skin because she she is "above that".

That what I always felt anyway. I have no idea what her actual story is though.

Yeah, not a fan of Juri's toes in that outfit, it made sense in SFIV, not here where she apparently rides a bike.

Her new outfit is dumb, even by SF standards. At least cut the heel out so it looks like strirrup pants. Having just the toes out is odd.

I liked her SF4 one better, because it still kinda looked classic SF-ish due to the pants.

I would have said it will most likely be a DLC outfit, but Ibuki's classic ninja costume is MIA, so...
 
I just hope Juri gets a hair down with a decent alternate. She looks better that way and had an alt with hair down in USF4 but the costume itself could have been better though.

Dem feet.

Juri would look so much cooler with her zipper up.

yea i dont see it at all.

Even his personality is pretty much Souther's. His outfit is inspired by Ancient Greeks, like his move set. So no.

What do you think the Pillar Men were based on? He is both Souther and the Pillar Men.

Also after a quick googling I just realized Souther was inspired by Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner, lol.

Japanese trailer. Good to hear Eri Kitamura's Juri again..

Japanese Urien sounds good, but they need to apply a filter to make his voice sound similar to whatever it was they used on his 3S voice. Japanese Urien better yell "Crush! Kill! Destroy!" too or I'll be disappointed.

Hell yeah shit gettin weird as fuck!
Been trying to get over this girl for a couple of weeks now, Capcom ain't helping man :'(

Karin's defining personality trait is that she thinks she's perfect and superior to everyone else. Showing off is perfectly in character for her.

It's like a political cartoon for the Rio Olympics.

Meh. I've never had any issues with leaving the voices in english. They've always sounded fine to me.
