So holiday costumes for the males, holiday lingerie for the females.

Yeah, pretty much.

I'm down with the occasional sexy outfit, but like the others have already mentioned, you make a sexy Ms. Claus outfit without going for sleazy.

 

[JayEH]

that gief one might actually be my favorite.

 

[Pics_nao]

Why is Juri so best?

 

[Menitta]

But they aren't tied to the holiday pack?

Oh. Oops. My bad.

 

[Secret Character]

Did they leave Bison out again?

It would have been too easy?

Hell, give me a gingerbread man Dhalsim or antlers for Birdie. Something other than bikinis.

 

[GoldandBlue]

Being Holiday dlc, they must be free or can be obtained through fight money and not cost 5 bucks each, right?

Mika's costume literally looks like actual pro wrestling attire:

It's actually pretty bad@$$.

 

[E_Darkness]

The only good costume their is Mika and I don't even play her. So far both the seasonal content packs have been fairly meh. I would love to throw money at some good costume DLC...

The thing is with DOA you know what you're getting into. You know that the game is made to ogle half-naked girls as they fight. That's why it's fine for that serious – it's what it's always been about.

Street Fighter has quickly pivoted to pandering to weeaboos that jerk off to video game screenshots and it's annoying. They could have been creative and made some silly costumes using elf, snowmen, reindeer motif.

But no. Every girl is wearing a reveal Santa bikini.

You held Street Fighter on a higher pedestal than DOA. This was a mistake. SF has always pandered. It pandered before we took to the internet to complain about pandering.

Its their only source of revenue now.

 

[Menitta]

Added more details to OP.

 

[BlackGhost]

Jesus that foot bend looks painful.

LOL was thinking the same.

 

[myco666]

Ken - the "stylish" character of the series - continues to get the worst, most unflattering, and un-stylish alts imaginable.

I don't even use Ken but come on man.

I honestly think this outfit is fantastic. It is so stupid that I love it.

 

[DrArchon]

Couldn't one of the ladies' costumes not be stupid sexy? Couldn't Karin get some nice Holiday dress to wear? Nope. Gotta be bikini tops and short shorts (or less in Laura's case).

Whatever. Go with what sells I guess. The market has spoken.

Street Fighter had fanservice, but it didn't "pander" until much later on in the series. Now it's just a joke.

Quickly pivoted? R.Mika wasn't created for SF5. There was a chun-li nude scene in the 90s street fighter movie, capcom showing naked females isn't new, it's just a lot easier for them to do it now.

That chun-li costume I don't mind either, it doesn't look that bad but they sorta don't realize that cartoon sized thighs don't fit into non-cartoon sized jeans. Also the heel being painted unto her foot so it bends with the foot...looks terrible.

Again, the very first female character in SF was Chun-Li, a character whose panties were exposed whenever she kicked (and kicking was her primary attack function). The second female character was Cammy, a character who wore a thong leotard. These costumes are absolutely nothing new to the series.

 

[Scotia]

wtf

 

[Hellshingu]

The Season Pass made it pretty explicit what you get. It's basically a Season 1 character pack with a Battle Costume for each.

And they added in the colors plus that Guile stage for free.

Not really sure how I feel about these costumes. Ken's looks funny to me and Gief's is pretty cool and actually looks like he is in winter.

Surprised Juri got both a Halloween and Holiday costume.

Guess we figured out what Ono's special announcement is. "HORIDAY PACK AVAIRABE RIGHT NAO!"

 

[Kashiwaba]

Taken from the OT

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Mika and Gief's costume is the best of the bunch. Ken's is so hilarious, its good. A Santa cowboy? Sure, why not.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

These are awful.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

No Santa birdie is the biggest tragedy.

Yup. I was going to say Gief shoulda been, but he's already been covered recently anyways with a great costume.

 

[robotzombie]

The blog post says the first season two character will be playable at PSX (obvious Akuma confirmation)

 

[Augemitbutter]

that chun constume will invoke new fetishes and that's all you'll see in 15 years!

anyway, i never like santa dlc. always irks me to see people wear that, even on virtual characters.

 

[lucebuce12]

No Santa birdie is the biggest tragedy.

Or a FANG Reindeer.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Laura's is actually really great this time, design wise.
It's basically a Brazilian carnival outfit Xmas style.

 

[joe2187]

And they added in the colors plus that Guile stage for free.

Because they completely borked the "Zenny" system and had to delay the DLC character for that month for another whole month. So it was the only way they sought to make amends.

 

[Ninjimbo]

Laura is love.

 

[Hellshingu]

At least they did something. They could have very well given us nothing.

Cammy.

Super Street Fighter 2

 

[GekigangerV]

I'm just happy that Capcom's actually doing a bundle for all of the Christmas DLC. They definitely heard our complaints about the Halloween DLC.

Yep, still not an amazing deal for the costumes though. I really like Zangief's look. Maybe I will just buy that and use my FM on the stage.

 

[Brian_FETO]

That Mika outfit is actually awesome. If I played her I would definitely buy it

 

[MoxManiac]

I want a holiday thong for urien

 

[Shig]

The creative bankruptcy is palpable.

You can have Xmas costumes without every damn one being a Santa suit derivative.

Or a FANG Reindeer.

Fang would be a christmas Tree.

 

[sixteen-bit]

candy cane print would be godlike

 

[EmiPrime]

Give the cheesecake a rest Capcom.

 

[lucebuce12]

Fang would be a christmas Tree.

And I'd buy it just because they actually made a costume for FANG.

 

[Tizoc]

I think I'll just get Santa Gief and Rapper Ryu.

This so much. Like Mika I get, that looks like what a wrestler would wear, (and maybe Yuri since she has that whole vamping thing for her) but the rest? Would the head of the Kanzuki family really wear.. what appears to be a bikini-top-coat and short-shorts? Really?

 

[RK9039]

wtf

Whatever that is it needs to get nerfed.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

They just made a majority of Santa costumes which is a shame. Add in a Reindeer, some elves and maybe even a Grinch for variety.
That Mika costume almost makes me want to main her. I have no clue how to use her lol.

Let me take you back a little farther to the past

I'm starting to think Laura doesn't understand how clothes work
