Birdie being fat isn't an issue for me so much as his design being ugly as fuck.

I hope they don't add more SF II reps. Four is more than enough.
It's like the Avengers of games fans want that will never be released.

She blew half a bar of a resource with as of yet unknown potential of utility. We don't know how good her V trigger is and if it would be in the player's best interest to use half a bar like that. I mean you can see it as being free but that doesn't make it free. It's way too early for this kind of talk.

Well I'm just bringing up a point. That it has to be costly for being that good conceptually.
If we're not suppose to comment on what we see and/or know then whats the point of talking about SF5? Its a valid concern.
But then again I guess we could just talk about Cammy's Ass all day long. It seems like the thing to do. That or birdie being fat.

I hope JWong picks up Birdie.

Gotta agree with Dahbomb, Horizon just blew me away. Game of the show easy. Hopefully it comes out tomorrow.
Cammy looks super quick now. Charlie still the best though.

whoah, whats wrong with bob?
Killzone 2 was pretty great tbh
He's obese as fuck.
No I agree it's a valid sentiment. There's just not enough information to really be able to contextualize the few things we've seen so far. After tomorrow thought I'm sure there will be plenty to discuss. I'll tell you what my concern is and I think it's been glazed over in all the hype. Ryu can parry everything. Everything. That is a potential huge red flag. For a myriad of reasons.
One game lol
Didn't click with me when I borrowed it from a friend.
Dahbomb hates him because he enjoys the freedom he'll never have.

Yeah that trailer totally wasn't misleading

It's a videogame, who gives a shit
All you need. They've proven they can make a good game.
...what does the trailer have to do with the quality of the actual game
Nah, it was a fluke.

They can't all be pretty boys and bishis ya know.
Hyped for Birdie but I wanna see moooooooooooore!
It's a video game forum last time I checked.
Whatever you say man. The game looks real interesting, we'll see if they can deliver.

I'm being serious, though. In a game filled with giant cyborgs, undead fighters, sentient training dummies, and literal ogres, a fat guy is what makes you blush? Get real. Your stance is entirely stupid.

It means you should take staged pre-rendered E3 "gameplay" trailers with a massive grain of salt. Not just for graphics downgrades, but they usually set up situations that aren't really reflective of actual play. The last couple of Ubisoft games are prime examples.
You could have just said his design sucks.....but noooooooooo.

Juri's the only thing that'll get me to buy a copy of SFV. It's all I want.
Of course, but arent you talking about the Killzone 2 trailer released all those years back?
If you're talking about the Horizon trailer, Im not interested in it because of the graphics. It's because the premise and world seem pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure that's why most are interested in it as well. I never take anything literal from trailers unless it's direct gameplay footage.
You know it's gonna be Birdie
It doesn't make me blush, I just think it's stupid. Just like I think QTEs are stupid or Lucky Chloe.
I'm pleasantly surprised with both Birdie and Cammy after the reveal. Pre-reveal--fuck 'em both.
After the reveal I'll deal, and I do like how they designed Birdie a LOT. Quite unique character, and a good ton of changes from Alpha for him.
Cammy visually got some boosts, her moves look "slicker", but two issues:
1) She's doing duck face now in photo's I've seen...
2) She still should have been DLC imo. She would sell fine, and I'd rather get more "Birdie" like in the initial roster. Karin or R.Mika would've been a much better choice, but oh well.
I'm excited for this beta to try out the characters.
Is this all we'll get in the beta you think? We have rest of June plus July. EVO will take place and CEO right? We could potentially get 1-3 new characters before beta ?
Fuck...gimme Alex, Urien, Karin, or someone completely new before beta capcom!

Sumo wrestlers actually have some level of musculature on them and look like they can actually fight. Like E.Honda is acceptable levels of obesity if you want to make a fat character. Beyond that you are just being "lol look at this fat guy it's so funny that he's so fat lol". There's extremes to designing characters and Rufus/Birdie are the extremes of the fat character to a fault.
Bob is the least "bad" of the three. Rufus and Birdie are morbidly obese with a massive beer gut that look like a patient with severe ascites and on top of that look idiotic visually (as in even if they weren't obese they would look awful). Rufus has a shitty playstyle as well. Haven't played Birdie to know what he plays like to comment on that front, I can only comment on the design and it's terrible.
If I had a character like the image below, I would be excited to use him and not think, "oh, he's gone over the acceptable fat limit."
I want more fat characters but with respectable designs and personalities. Bob sucks because his design is garbage and his playstyle is literally annoying. Not because he's fat. They made a slim version of him in TTT2 and he still sucked.

Rufus is like the Wario of Capcom.
Wario is actually loved, though.

By the sick-minded, just like Rufus.

Waluigi would be a more apt comparison.

Wario is great. Fuck Rufus.
Yeah, only legit crazy people actually like Waluigi.

I actually wish E.honda was bigger, taller and fatter, more imposing.
