Ono said he's gonna be heading down to Dubai on the 11th of Sept with Blanka to present some news. I'm betting on another reveal
google Joshi Puroresu , some female wrestlers in Japan have some flamboyant costumes and aesthetics (I like clowns so Kana is interesting to me)
Yeah, it's kinda crazy. I was at least hoping that some of the blondes would have a different shade. Maybe in the final version?
Ryu really shouldn't crack Naruto jokes around her...
Fucking shit yes, holy hell.

Mari Shimazaki is the character designer for Bayonetta.GameSpy: Action game players, I presume, are predominantly male. How do you feel that those players will react to the character? With videogame characters, many players dream of "being the hero." Will they instead dream of "being with" this hero?
Mari Shimazaki: Of course, from my perspective, being female, I see myself as Bayonetta when I'm playing the game. Conversely, when I play action games with a male lead, I don't think that I'm fighting "with" him. I still think of myself as him; I'm a guy when I'm playing those games.
I want Rose to, while i don't play her, because the only game that i have with Rose is USF4, and i dropped that game. But i always liked her design and skillset (And she being based on Lisa Lisa is a plus)If they can do it with out sexing her up, I'd agree. I'd also love a Rose at some point who I think is the best female character in the entire series, and she's not full blown sexualized either.
I also agree with the Mika as parody bit... but parody requires a juxtoposition which SF generally doesn't have so the parody is lost.
All this said, Mika does look potentially quite fun, and that's ultimately what matters. I just wish fighters had a bit more breadth to their characters.
Brings a tear to my eye.
This makes me think of how random the reasons someone may like or dislike a character.
Wiser words have never been spoken!
I'M IMPRESSED YOU MADE IT THIS FAR!
Joshi Puroresu is generally known for having outlandish, weird, and sexy outfits
to me, complaining about Mika's design is like going "darn someone should really tell these strippers to cover up" or something
Mika is there to be the personification of FUCK YEAH WRESTLING
let her live her life and let me live mine
Austin's going to be mad at Vega for not selling it though.
I suppose so
Wouldn't it be nice if people waited until every character has been announced, DLC and all, before complaining about character diversity?You're missing the point. It isn't her design that is the problem, it is that her design is reflective of the problem that there is no real diversity. Wouldn't it be nice if she was one of a selection of character types? You could play the fat, horned-helmeted opera singer named Ulga or the foxy, ass-out wrestler named Mika? But that selection doesn't really exist.
Wouldn't it be nice if the announcements made a hint of an effort to actually include said diversity?
I understand what you're trying to say and I understand why many dont like her outfit, but that's terrible reasoning. "Shown off for power" essentially means that he wants to show off his confidence in his body.....which esentially comes down to being confident in his looks.
They have plenty of time to decide whether to get the game or not. They can wait until there's a character that's right for them before getting excited for V. The same thing happened/is happening for Xrd.
Honestly while I agree to an extent, that's more of an issue with choosing a character based on gender (and I seriously doubt all the remaining females will be bootyful). More diversity within gender or race is great and should be striven toward, but it's shouldnt be forced either. Heck I'd love more chocolate and ladies in SF, but if suddenly all the characters we love or love to hate were suddenly replaced to satiate people who want a specific race or gender or lifestyle or whatever, then it gets to a point where design starts to feel forced and in-genuine in gameplay, visuals, and story.You're missing the point. It isn't her design that is the problem, it is that her design is reflective of the problem that there is no real diversity. Wouldn't it be nice if she was one of a selection of character types? You could play the fat, horned-helmeted opera singer named Ulga or the foxy, ass-out wrestler named Mika? But that selection doesn't really exist.
Right now in SFV, if you wanted to play a man you can choose to play the focused martial artist, the cocky martial artist, the fat rocker, the DBZ wildman, the half undead dude out for revenge, the evil dictator, or the beautiful sociopath.
If you wanted to play a female, you get the wrestler with her ass out, the spec ops with her ass out, or Chun Li.
Except that gameplay wise, Mika is showing more than chun or cammy, and this is coming from a chun main.Wait, what does circling the wagons mean?
But, either way, marketing is one of, if not the, most essential things that determines if people want to buy the game or not. If they don't show a variety of (good) women characters for a decent amount of time before it hits shelves, then people can only assume that that's the route their taking with the game for that time. And that's a massive spoil on some people's opinions on the game.
So far the line of female reps have been, in order: Chun Li->Cammi->R. Mika. And many, MANY people would argue it's been a massive degrade for each new one. I can't blame people for becoming disinterested in a game where the news fails to show anything worthwhile in a specific aspect that those people want to see.
Legit.
I really like cammy too. To be honest, i'm saying that now...I'm really digging Cammy's look in this version, yeah it's pretty much like her other iterations, but she seems a lot more defined and seasoned. During her stage entrance before a match starts, you can really see how defined her stomach and arms are, and even her face shows signs of slight aging and experience. I think she's turning out really cool aesthetically.
So there's no good reason lolFYI Cammy explains she wears that leotard to enhance her 'aerodynamics' since she is known for her sheer agility and is leg based as a fighter. She didn't wear it for the sake of everyone else in Delta Red/Shadaloo to get an erection. She actually gets embarrassed when wearing erotic outfits for the sake of them being erotic. She actually wears pants when not on duty.
Butt of course lol
I mostly agree, though the belly button indention is stupid imo. Does it need to be that deep?I'm really digging Cammy's look in this version, yeah it's pretty much like her other iterations, but she seems a lot more defined and seasoned.
