Officer Chun-Li costume spotted in latest SFV beta, also some other lame costumes

I have exactly ZERO issue with someone not liking the designs. If I was a strait female I probably wouldn't be crazy about a lot of them.

But the non stop ridicule that comes in some of these threads because some guys like to look at tits and ass is getting hella old some times. Saying, hey these designs don't work for me and I don't like how sexualized they are. That's cool no issue. Its when people say stuff like "Wow only a teenage boy could ever like something like this" or try to make people feel ashamed about it I have an issue with.

I'm a very successful married man. And I like tits. Oh well.

Didn't say only teenage boys could ever enjoy it, I said the models are clearly designed to pander to them, because they're the demographic with the most positive reception for that sort of thing. That's on you if you're ashamed of it.

I would LOVE to see a legit long range study done proving this.

Because if it was answered honestly I highly doubt it would be "Teenage Boys" who respond best to it and not "Male Demo". Because I bet just as many late 20's and early 30's dudes like it as much as the next teenager.

It's because if they let the women do the designs, they would be even lewder

I get your point, but that ain't even that lewd. Not as gratuitous and thoughtless as the stuff we're seeing in the game.
 
Do you?
Have you seen Cammy played?
Looking through multiple beta videos by players infinitely better than I am I can not see one Cammy player practicing such behavior.

Really, let's please not get petty here.
I am just making a point about the logistics of the slow movements that were intentionally being done to expose something in that original video.
I am not trying to sidetrack the thread.
It sounds like it was a glitch anyway.


I understand , and every character is played differently though the base game is the same.
I was referring only to Cammy in this case because Cammy was the one in the video that this was about which now seems to have been a glitch which makes this all redundant.

This Cammy is awful and doesn't know Cammy basics 101: use backhand to get through fb's.

It's not that clear to me. The models "pander" to people who like female bodies.

There's a lot of us

I feel like this is some kind of old meme I've missed this whole time. I see it often, when some folks insinuate boobs and ass in games are specifically for "teenage boys". Coming from myself who's 27 and married with a child; digital T&A are still fairly nice to look at lol.

No one is telling you to NOT like it.

It's pretty telling from some of the posters in this thread refuse to believe that people can, and are pretty creeped out by some of the alternates. Going as far as to pull out ridiculous strawman arguments, writing them off as 'you don't HAVE to use them' and other passive aggressive comments at the 'mentality' is some grade A horse shit. But then again, I shouldn't be surprised. It's the same people in every thread like this on GAF. What can you do, right?

I like titty and dick as much as the next individual but I can empathize with people who don't.

Laura's costume is still garbage.

There's nothing wrong with liking T&A. I like D&B (dicks and balls). But I don't really need to see a softcore version of that while playing a fighting game.

I could be wrong, but I feel like it's common knowledge that teenage boys are the ones who are most influenced by sexual suggestion, what with puberty and everything. It's like, if I saw a teenage boy with pictures of scantily clad woman plastered all over his bedroom wall, it'd feel more expected/typical than if a grown ass man did the same thing.

I get your point, but that ain't even that lewd. Not as gratuitous and thoughtless as the stuff we're seeing in the game.

Ya, I actually kinda feel the same way. Not sure why, maybe it's because there was more emphasis on their faces? I dunno, the art was good.

Truthfully this thread really hasn't been that bad about it. Not at all.

There just have been some really aggressive ones in here in the past. But yeah, no this one isn't that bad, and I myself have said I clearly understand how some wouldn't like the outfits.

The whole DLC thing "only pandering to teenagers" is also flawed since they don't have near as much buying power as 20-30 year olds.
 
Teenagers can find all the T&A they want on the internet for free. This might have been an argument 15 years ago, but not today.

This is made for the mature connoisseurs of the digital T&A with the buying power to back it

Wasn't saying he said I'm not allowed to like it. Was merely addressing his idea that the notion that skin showing from the female form in this game (or fighting games, any game in general really) was specifically made to pander to teenage males. There really isn't anything to prove or show for that at all. According to who? It's an implication that 'only teenage boys enjoy that stuff really', which I think is a bit disingenuous. I'm sure there are a number of men (straight, bi, etc) who aren't fond of it, no doubt, but I think there's a much larger percentage that do like the female form.

Honestly, I hope they do have options to block players for anyone who doesn't want to look at it all, fine by me.

This sounds like a very elaborate way of saying chump.

That doesn't sound like a very appealing demographic lol.

I think this is the best way to go about it, but that's like sort of admitting that they think some of the outfits are too much.

Well, some are, and more undoubtedly will be. Some of them will get in the way of seeing character movements, and I would like to not be able to see those as well.

Still breasts like water balloons.

Old version before the bug was fixed (because it has been fixed). Hackers are modding these changes into an old version of the game.
 
Agreed, lol its getting to be shameful now
Maybe Bison tortured her with hypno pants and that is why she refuses to wear them now. We truly will be ashamed of our words when story mode is playable.
Starting to? When has Cammy been anything but a character designed to pander to teenage boys?
Everyone had a silent agreement until her vacuum packed SFV model surfaced. Now it's pretty much undeniable though lol.
As a former teenage boy I can tell you that locking the door while you play video games just makes people's suspicions of you so much worse :p
Suspicion is better than the horny truth. This is something ALL men learn in their teenage years.
Same female artist:

Nishimura-san don't give a fuuuu...
Urien looks like he just walked into a room looking for new loincloths and knows he is about to be framed.

Sakura, once she's announced as DLC, is probably going to ditch the school uniform. Even her alt costumes were pretty different. Costume (and storyline-wise) I say go ahead and do what Udon comics did.

Finally Capcom's also smart. They'll make the school uniform be part of an alt costume pack. People would buy it up.

Well, everyone's a chump for something. That's just subjective value.
Oh I know
When viper is in wave 2 and brings the female pantsuit collection brought to you by viper and helena from re best capcom girl. I'll buy it. And edgelord gear imma get.

But dude comment sounded way too similar to some trying to convinve themselves that they aren't wasting money.

Just so you know, my post wasn't very serious. But that's hard to get across over the internet, I though it was exaggerated enough lol
 
SFV beta last night was my first real chance to get to mess with its gameplay in a analytical way and I really really liked what I played. Those cross counters, dat whiff punish game.

Shit never fails to make me laugh. T&A are only for teenage boys? Billions of grown men are doing it wrong then.
