thats some BADASS character design here my dude

no its silly and overdone

its so silly and overdone to the point its so bad its good

It's growing more and more obvious nobody at capcom knows how to do character design anymore.

>Fang
>Birdie
>Juri
>Abigail
How many joke characters does this game need?

How do I achieve these gainz?

i used to do that with those little lego tires.

Are YOU a good character design?

at least his theme will be good.

I mean, I guess he's related to Hugo in some way?

I feel as if the season 2 characters were old faves it'd cause more hype.

Just gonna get these out of the way
>Bloodborn reference
>Tiny Soldiers reference
>big gay 4 ryu reference

HERES A NOVEL CONCEPT TO GENERATE HYPE FOR SFV

BRING BACK Q

REEEEEEEE

Compared to the SFIV and other SFV newcomers? Yeah.

Seriously look at Laura. That's as shit as it comes. Same with Ed. These designs are trash, and that isn't even looking at the likes of Rufus and El Furte. Capcom can't make new good characters to save their lives. They either keep making the same roided out shitters, joke characters, or they put big tits and thighs on a generic female and pray it makes them popular.

Drop the tires and it's fine.

But he likes cars and monster trucks, how else could they express that?

HIS HAIR IS A FUCKING LEAF.

Laura and Ed > Abel and C viper. Don't even get me started on Hakan. Gouken was like the only good SF4 newcomer.

By having him pretend to drive a truck into battle for his intro.

Why do you guys keep talking about him? Don't tell me that this 80's musclehead jobber is the most interesting thing from this evo.

Laura is shit. Abel is at least visually not horrible and mechanically he is fun too. He is probably the least offensive newcomer in years. Ed is also shit. He would have been great if he remained a skinny shota with psychic powers, but now he just blends in with the rest of the cast as some ugly roided up freak. Only difference is that his outfits are laughably stupid looking so he ends up looking retarded in every possible way.

You gotta love Japanese design philosophy. They can't into writing so the only way they can have characters express their hobbies and interests is by wearing it like a fucking flag.

>character design is basically a huge shitpost
>Moveset is full of counters and super armor
>is Canadian
>FUCKING LEAF hair

Capcom knows what they're doing. I'm gonna main this guy just for how mad he's going to make people that have to fight him.

Only literal homos want to play as a twink.

it's gonna be good but it's not gonna be that.

capcom.co.jp/sfv/chara_abigail.html

It doesn't even have to be anyone edgy like that. Sagat would do

When you're Character is as muscular as a parody of muscle men, you know you did something wrong.

or you finally got your fetish into a major fighting game

.....I don't know what I'm looking at....

>Seriously look at Laura. That's as shit as it comes
>stuff I don't like is BAD DESIGN

Sounds familiar

With the way capcom's been acting lately, I don't think they could add any legacy characters without fucking up in some huge way.

The last returning favourite was Akuma, and they've pretty much thrown the guy in a wheelchair. Fireballs don't go full screen, he's a low health character but now without a meterless reversal, KKZ doesn't hit on both sides anymore, his teleport doesn't go anywhere compared to previous games, and now he looks like a fucking potato lion.

Why the fuck does it cost $5 to make a character look acceptable? What reason was there to change him this much in the first place?

If they included Sagat, I'd bet they'd do something retarded like locking his fireball behind v-trigger. SFV does not take kindly to the idea of zoning, just look at Ryu.

Someone post his backdash

Ryu's zoning is trash because his normals are fucking awful and the hurtbox on his arms when he actually throws a fireball is bigger than Abigail and stays out longer than it takes FANG to jump. If he had a good low forward his ability to zone in the midscreen distance would not be an issue for him.

Not him, but Im spic, not BR but the overall culture has something with big hideous butts and tits and legs, I don't know if calling it THICC because the prefered circumference of the belly area desired is lower than most THICC girls I see, IMO THICC is just fat. I think the design is bland because of the trendy hair and standart spic attributes (brownish or black hair/eyes and the ideal that I mentioned before about cultural preferences in women. Can't tell if it's a bland copy-paste of a Brazilian woman or an amazing culture investigation about representing a region through their standart platonic ideas

>Its been 2 days
>people actually like Abigail now because hes got personality
>And a really good movelist.
>Quite possibly the best Brawler/Grappler archtype we've gotten.
>BIG FUKKIN DAMAGE
>Parries reward timing with combos.
>Armor out the ass
>but really bad wake up options.

While I understand its too early to judge it really seems that Abigail is a pretty well thought out character regardless of his looks.

for dumb barafags probably

>Juri
>Joke character.
She's cartoonishly evil but I could say the same about M. Bison and Akuma.

Her unviable play style is the joke

>that fonzy backdash

One thing in a large list of issues with SFV.

Fuck off, Fang is an old Kung-fu movie style stereotype evil guy, it's more of a reference than a joke and Juri is nowhere near a joke character

this costume is a little cooler looking

>Anymore
Capcom is crap at character designs and even worse at handling them.

remove the ankle tires and move the bracelets to his biceps and it's 9/10

>this will be Canada's SF rep forever
kek

He's shitposting in character form

...

rufus and fuerte fucking own fuck outta here

IT'S

SUPER

DYNAMIC

COOKING

Well, yeah. All the designers for the 90s games were gone by the mid 2000s.

TWENTY GODDAMN SCOOPS

TIME

Wow, this thread again. I think I saw this 4-5 times yesterday.

Why is (he) wearing pink lipstick and has a (her) name

Can't stop the Gail

Only related in that they both worked for Mad Gear

Man, they didn't do good with the tire-motif.

Could've just lugged around one big tire or something.

Hey DILF Ryu and black china dress Chun Li are pretty good so Capcom is still Capcom, they dick around with good and bad designs
This one doesn't look bad, why is it not the default costume?

Metro City stage looks great regardless but I'm actually pretty hopeful about Abigail. If nothing else he's so already so hated he's a guaranteed salt mine if played well.

Dhalsim and bison look better than ever just off the top of my head.

Well there he just looks funny in an appealing way.

It's so good, it's fucking BADASS.

Fuck off. They gave him grey hair. That isn't new. Dhal, looks like a literal terrorist. Which would be fine is magic tornado Islamic man didn't exist.

That dress skin was a fucking concept art piece from 20 years ago, and I know they'll never admit it but they stole the dilf ryu, from a pixel artist on deviant art.. he did a whole set of images they were identical to the skin this was before even SF4 came out.

>doesnt look bad
>tire bracelets and anklets
cmon son

The mask does wonders, and the tire bandolier just puts it so over-the-top bad that it's cool.

Dhalsim looks so good now that I forget how he used to look.

He looks cooler, but looking at him makes me feel like wanting to play as Jason Voorhees in MKX

Apparently people are saying now that Capcom might have fucked up and accidentally used the wrong model for his EVO reveal.

>he's slightly bulkier

He's a bigger guy.

but which is which?

The one with the blue sky background. It's from WSO, which was streamed today.

The smaller one is for sure newer, it fits better with the two costumes shown off, plus the ab region is better detailed. The shoulders were super fucking prominent in the trailer model compared to the costumes, first thing i noticed about them

I KNEW something was fucking up

I was looking at models between screenshots/new pics and was like, this can't be the same fuckin character

God those trailer shoulders were chunky

How could they fuck something like this?

...

Simple mistake. Ever worked in a fast-paced, high-demand job? Shit like this happens and it could be your fault.

Well fuck, that just killed all my hype. I don't want to play as some sissy girlyman, I want the full hulk muscles.

>We are NOT muscle buddies!
um wow fucking rude much, gief is so friendly, how could abi just shoot him down like that?

FANG sticks to the spirit of Street Fighter, an exaggerated stereotype. He'd fit in just fine with the SF2 cast
Birdie... Well i can't say his original design was that great either, joke characters are never appreciated, especially for a game with such a small roster.
Juri looks great, they just intentionally made her base costume the worst because they want you to buy the good ones, fucking kikes. Her base costume isn't that bad though
Abigail, can't defend. Maybe I'd be more okay with him if he wasn't the first Final Fight character in the game, but fuck. They also made his base the ugliest costume

>test the water with musclesfag
>they don't like it
>use the old model

Hopefully what they played today was an older build and the model from the reveal is the updated one.

well, the smaller muscles do look better.
but now it's not just Capcom being stupid thinking they can make an ugly character no one wanted, but it's also them being incompetent?

Dunno. Not a huge fan of the design, but his gameplay looks neat, just check this stupid shit out.

How will an exotic dancer in SF would fit like a island girl who uses hip and butt attacks

ESPN would never allow it

I'm pretty sure abigail's muscles enlarge during v-trigger, but capcom left it like that in the trailer to contrast his size from ed.

So if Elena made it back into SFV, what would they do with her default outfit?

make her hips HUGE and her hair going down to her butt

giving her spats or a skirt with a blackhole so no pervy angles.

Huge how? i don't want her to be fat or even deformed, not even chunli tights, but yeah, how she would fit as an exotic dancer fighter in SF, or even as an exaggerated stereotype.

well, there are no female exotic fire breathers in polynesia who wears those lewd mareos that show buttcheeks, only men wear those, but for exaggeration, she could be a Mai shiranui type of showoff girl in outfit.

I just think they're testing waters with the model.

"If the reaction is bad enough, we go for plan B."

That's plan B.

Damn whiners ruin everything

Oh, like Chug-Li in MVCI

whos bitch this is?

damn nigga aint even out yet and he's already getting nerfed

think wakfu

Just something i sketched out of boredom and trying some coloring tech-quines.

Perhaps new character design. Most of the returning cast looks better than they did in 4, the only exception being ken.
