Genei Jin isn't so bad in USF4

 

[Sn4ke_911]

The hair is weird, looks like she's bald.

Capcpom pls

 

[maomaoIYP]

That's Karin's thing alright. She's the epitome of Oujou Sama anime and manga tropage that Lili also has in spades. Lili is missing the drill hair that is absolutely essential for this type of character though, i forget if you can customize that on her in T6 or TTT2

Yes you can, she's the only character who has it.

Spoiler

I LOVE IT

VesperArcade breakdown for anyone interested.

They're never balanced.

They can't be balanced.

Honestly I think they are just broken by concept and cannot be properly balanced.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I think she's doing that "A-hooo ho ho ho" laughter that you see in aristocrat archetypes in anime.

 

[jerry1594]

Yang's Seiei Enbu in 3s is not bad, and honestly if Genei Jin had a longer bar I don't think it would be that bad.

I think kof 13 showed that they can be balanced.

AKA combo strings longer than Tekken double bounds lol.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I think kof 13 showed that they can be balanced.

Giving everyone insane combos with the caveat of needing considerable meter isn't my idea of balance lol

KoFXIII is a great game but HD stuff was hella dumb

 

[DaSorcerer7]

With the way Capcom is introducing the female characters I was half expecting Karin to come in with ass-less chaps or something.

Great idea for an Alt costume.

Oh right this laugh.

If you can't do a Noblewoman's Laugh Ojou-style after full body-spinning your opponent and then giving them a one-inch punch, when CAN you laugh like that?

I definitely prefer the brown eyes (*avatarquote*), but I see "where they're going" with gold.

I have a better idea, have her become one of the first street fighter characters to be killed off in story mode.

 

[Brainiac 8]

But she's already in...

Sorry, I meant Sakura.

I swear they're holding onto some secret hair tech intentionally. they're gonna save that shit for later and blow everyone away with the upgrade across the board for all characters

heh

'articles' do that for any subject anywhere nowadays, though.

That's how it works for everything and every country.

Want to prove how controversial something you hate is? There's a tweet for that.

Even if it's 4 people, they're all right though.
People must have some seriously low standards for 3D art nowadays if they let her current appearance slide. It's rather inhuman looking.

 

[Toxi]

I think she looks fine in motion... Not so great in that one still where she looks like a goblin.

Still better than poor Vega.

Well, four people in Japan at any rate.

 

[Clawww]

Not naked enough. This one bad shot of her face isn't my fetish

I loled when I saw this on twitter.

I guess you can say...

It's an Alpha Counter.

technically none of the characters look human they're exaggerated like cartoons

 

[qcf x2]

heh.

Probably. Though for now they could just go with hair colors that look more blond and less yellow 5. You can see hair texturing w/ her but you have to really look, since it's all one default yellow color it looks like a showercap.

 

[Clawww]

at this point I've come to terms with the uglies. even some of the characters that aren't as outright funky like nash look quite ugly from certain angles (his nose/chin is just unattractive in his win animation).

the rest of the animations (the muscles!) and lighting etc. look fucking great in person though. videos don't do the game justice in that regard.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

People need to relax. No one in this game is Mortal Kombat level fugly.

 

[Producer]

They do need to work on angles during the intro and win poses imo. They changed Chuns for example, the original intro her eyes just looked weird and kinda crosseyed.

 

[Clawww]

some of them are just weird. like nash just kind of puts his hand on his hip and convulses for a second before putting his glassed back on and showing off his nasty pout face. wtf?

People need to relax. No one in this game is Mortal Kombat level fugly.

some of the characters look totally great, which is why the funky ones stand out. cammy, bison, birdie, mika are all perfect to me. I'm sure they'll get the others up to snuff.

The muscles look kind of fucked up actually. To me anyway

 

[Inuhanyou]

Its not just 4 tweets. You will have legions of people calling characters(the girls in particular) 'gorillas' and 'ugly' looking if they arent a particular brand of moe style.

It was the same with Cammy as well, R.Mika and even Chunners when they were revealed

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I actually liked the original Cammy :/

 

[Weeaboosuke]

Cammy got changed? I'm out of the loop.

 

[Momentary]

Like how they picked the worst angles possible. Her face looks great in motion.

Is there any footage of Cammy at TGS on the Character select screen?

 

[Gbraga]

I really can't see what's wrong with her visual, not even a "she's not that ugly", I think she looks pretty good. Both in character select and in-game, which is a rarity for this game, it seems.

Except for the hair, it's a bit weird, but whatever.

 

[depths20XX]

Yeah, why is Capcom going with this super yellow color for all blonde characters anyways? It's like one shade and looks rubbery.

 

[captainpat]

Cammy got changed? I'm out of the loop.

Seems like it

 

[Momentary]

Character models are still probably being worked on until release in March.

They have about 7 months until release. Let's see what they do. I think once movesets are done they have their modelers do touch-ups while having their mechanics team work on balancing. Hopefully the UI team starts doing something soon. Also sound design.
