Apologies for the long post, but I hope you will enjoy it.

The costume announcement made me curious to see what (if any) Capcom had used from the concepts that they had already worked on.
So, I cracked open the SFIV / SSFIV artbook that was released recently.

I selected a few choices left on the table, or that with any luck we may have revealed later.
Quick and dirty pictures follow.

Hakan
Santhakan, Can't-describe-awesome-kan, and Gladiahakan.
Any of these would have been amazing, but I'm also really digging the Turkish outfit.
Clearly, Hakan needs his own costume pack.

Ibuki

Juri
Capcom, I know what you're thinking, but no. Do this, really.
Normal hair, awesome costume. Sold.

juri.jpg


Ken
Vegas Ken? Used car salesman Ken?

Makoto
I'd love to see any of these of these, except the schoolgirl one. Far weaker.

Balrog
Channeling some Dog, for dat Bounty Moneys.

rog.jpg


Rose
Surprised here at how many great options they made for her. Let's hope we end up with one of them.

Rufus
Look at that, very close to what they ended up using.

rufus.jpg


Ryu
On the left, a variation of the outfit a few posts above. Also, fanservice.
It's too bad, my first impression of homeboy Ryu is that it's too out of character.
Not cool looking enough either, to make up for it.

ryu.jpg


Sagat
Blindfold Sagat. YES.

Sakura
Among about 50 variations of her gym / swimmer's getup, I found these:

sakura1.jpg
sakura2.jpg


Seth
Sharp-looking Seth, and finally, some clothes.

seth.jpg


Vega
Looking great, and I think it's been requested for a long, long time.

vega.jpg


C. Viper
The only drawing of an outfit that we didn't receive yet. Not bad, not bad.

viper.jpg


Akuma
Oddly enough, there was one for Dan giving him Akuma's haircut and beads.

akuma.jpg


Cammy
Sam Fisher Cammy, and this-is-how-you-do-pants Cammy. I believe the latter was this close to being made?
I'd have taken either of these before catwoman Cammy, as much a cat lover she is. ;_;

cammy1.jpg
cammy2.jpg


Chun Li
Videogame improbable police officer Chun Li, and uh, yes please? :0
Gives me a part Star Gladiator, part Shunya Yamashita vibe. Love it.

chun1.jpg
chun2.jpg


Dhalsim
So simple, and I would love to see this one made reality.

dhal.jpg


Dudley
I really hope the one on the left is off the table.
There is also a variation of the shorts one + bowtie. A gentleman to the end.

dudley.jpg


Fei Long

fei.jpg


El Fuerte
Several Lucha Libre variations, hope they take this route.

fuerte.jpg


Gen
It's probably out of the question, but I'd like to see a non-mummy Gen.
Notice how he's sharing the one on the right with Rufus.

gen.jpg


Gouken
The only unused piece of artwork:

Guy
DO. THIS.

After they dropped the ball on Dudley's first alt and didn't give us a yellow jacket, they need to redeem themselves. Tank top and freddie pants isn't enough.

All of that artwork is severely depressing..

look at what we end up with D: nothing even close so far.. Ryu's "homeboy" look is flat out dumb. They have some time to correct this, but why would they?

cammy2.jpg


how does that catwoman outfit win out over THIS?!?! and Guy Strider.. if that happens I'll go back to playing Guy full time.

At least they finally got the idea that people want Chun-Li's alpha outfit, but give us Cammy's Alpha outfit too, not some Catwoman getup.

Pants

Cammy should never wear pants

the outfit I just posted > alpha. I would say "wouldn't you prefer something different?" but that's probably how we ended up with a catwoman outfit in the first place....

by comparison, the catwoman alt is disgusting.. and that's coming from someone that was a huge fan of Batman Returns
 

Shig

Strap on your hooker ...
I'd love for Juri to get an alt from one of the bottom right batch of her preliminary designs.

<3 C. Viper's Leona alt

how do I slip unnoticed out of a gloryhole booth?
OH FOR FUCKS SAKE why do they continue to make such awesome concept art and not use it?

I never hated Ken's alternate 1 much. With some color variants it worked but if the alt costumes look significantly worse to the originals they're worthless. For instance, Cowboy Ken is just horrible. Either of the two artworks, would be significantly more awesome. Both of Bison's alts suck too.
 

Pandaman

Everything is moe to me
Gyrian just double perfected the thread.

all of those sak alts are acceptable.
mak and sak seem to share an outfit.

There's GOT to be something the good costumes have in common that they can't pull off in that engine. Maybe it's lots of flowing cloth, or lots of intricate folds and shapes. I don't know. But there is no other explanation for this.

awesomeness

Is the SFIV artbook import or Udon?

And all of those concepts are great. I wonder why they go left-field with the application. Ken's alts are terrible. Cowboy is funish and probably a nod to Pocket Fighter. But his alts should reflect his personality and rich upbringing. Vegas Ken is more in line. Or something in line with Robert Garcia.

Man, SNK has always been better at design than Capcom's left field.

All of this is from the SF4+SSF4 artbook

Oh man those costumes are fantastic. What artbook are they from?

And some of them better be in the game. FREDDY MERCURY DUDLEY!

Yeah, I can agree on that completely. They're doing his image a disservice with these outfit alternate's. Original is still best.

the explanation is simple:

WAIT FOR ALT #4 GUYS! :lol

the only problem with this is...shes a twig. this outfit is on a shaped body...her in game body is super twiggy.

She doesn't have the biggest butt, but she's bound to have some nice thighs and her sideboob indicates that she's big enough up top. I don't think "twig" suits her. Petite is more like it. It could work.

Oh shit. I need to not participate in costume discussions. My nerd is showing. =(

P.S. I actually like Ryu's new alt. It's something Sakura would make him wear if she took him shopping or something. :lol
 
Rentahamster said:
lol @ Dhalsim's new outfit. I must buy!

Agreed.

Been away for a buddy's wedding, but man it looks like I've missed a bunch of news over this Comic Con weekend. So to summarize as far as FGs go it's the following, right?

New Alts for SSF4
SF x Tekken Official

Is that it? Did I miss anything else?

I was a bit hyped for the crossover game already, but seeing it in motion was badass. Crazy background was crazy (servbot head lol). The new moves Ryu had, weird chains with the normals, and of course Kazuya and Nina onscreen had my mind racing with anticipation.

Korean people will probably cry out loud because it's too japanese-stylish but I DON'T CARE! I'll pay 1200 points solely for this fucking thing.

you're a few days late to the party but its ok. the current loktest build only shows 2 but its more than that.
They had to delay the game back in March and they probably have to release the arcade version before this holiday. I don't think they have enough time to polish more than 2 characters.

A little late, but yes, this one was published by Capcom Books in Japan.

I've read before that it's definitely confirmed for release over here, too.
It's very likely that it would be through Udon as usual.

It features virtually everything that was done for IV and Super, but then we also got a pretty nice portion of the new material for IV in the SF20 book.
The design pages for Juri and Hakan are rather awesome. Hakan's wife. Wow.

Any of these Chun Li suits would have been better than her lame Alpha suit, especially the cop one. I'm tired of throwbacks, let's see some original stuff.

...The Guy throwback to Strider would be nice, though.

Matter of fact I'm pretty sure people were asking for that when Guy was first announced
