KILL! The Urien SFV thread!

FUCK BIRDIE!!

That’s exactly what he’s wearing. I don’t know what picture “Hawaiian shirt” guy is even looking at.

birdie… well birdie gets changed in every game he’s in.
He’s basically design roulette anyway. And some actually grew to like the new approach to him

I am going to get this out of the way early before his new model gets revealed next week. Judging by the Street Fighter III characters getting new designs and no classic look trend in this game.

R.I.P Banana Hammock Urien

People who are against uriens classic costume are not even people in my eyes, trump should build a wall for them instead :smiley:

yup, with Ibukis Battle Costume revealed we can pretty much confirm that the hammock is gone… or Urien does not yet have it…? Because technically it’s before SF3…?

Maybe the story mode ends with Urien finding his hammock

Absolute blasphemy if it turns out to be true. I will write letters, express disappointment and despair in comments sections all over the internet, and finally camp outside Capcom HQ with signs that read stuff like “URIEN TROUBLE!”, “FREE THE THONG!”, and “DIE!”. I might also consider using verbal threats to random Capcom employees that have nothing to do with this (COMBOFIEND?! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!).

Ima gonna play through the story mode 100 times just to reach Urien’s stage to figure out everything he can do lol

I’ve been writing letters for years to get the suit in and the thong out. My prayers were finally answered at the expense of yours.

You know, you’re probably just going to be able to choose that chapter once you’ve completed it. Just like in the current Story modes.

Don’t count your eggs before they hatch.

Fixed.

About Urien costume

SF3 one will NOT be there
Alex, Ibuki, both got 3 new costumes

Urien will arrive and get 3 new designs, then at some point capcom will release classic SF3 DLC costumes

Same for Juri probably

The problem I have with this is that neither Alex or Ibuki’s fighting style is actually tied to their appearance like Urien’s. Urien literally becomes metallic for a fight, that is his superpower, and will likely want to show off his body ala Zangief as a form of intimidation.

I still think Urien’s going to be at the most shirtless during a fight.

For how i see it, Urien’s SF3 “costume” as much peoples don’t like it is perfect for his ancient greek pankration archetype, in the same way Ryu has a karate gi or Rog got boxing gloves

Never been a fan of SF get KoF style casual clothes, starting from iconic SF2 way SF design is ever been about characters have a design that work as “uniform” for some tradition archetype

What i was saying is that Alex/Ibuki (and Urien artwork) seem to indicate that Capcom is purposely avoid original design for SF3rs to be able to sell it later, they even said something similar iirc

Imho at some point they will sell as dlc:

-SF3rs original costume
-Juri (maybe Abel/C,Viper too in S2) SF4 costume
-Claw, Sim, Cammy SF2 costume
-Bison, Chun, Birdie, Karin and maybe Mika’s SFA costume

Watching Guile, Rog still have chances to get his original as story alt… if not SF2 for him too

Busines is business bro.

ye you are right, I hope this is the case here

Again though, Karate users and Boxers still wear Gis and use Boxing gloves today. But Pankration users DON’T still dress like ancient Greco-Roman wrestlers.

The problem I have is that that argument applies to Gill more than Urien. Gill’s red and blue skin is even more important to his design than Urien’s metallic skin.

Ultimately, Urien’s old look was just a lazy knockoff of Gill’s look. And since Capcom is making a concerted effort to make sure that no characters are just palette swaps of each other anymore, if only one of them gets to keep that look, it should be Gill, since he had it first.

You guys love to split hairs on shit. Ok it doensnt have a print. It just a bright purple open shirt with a gold suit jacket.

Still doesnt do the original character model justice.

And you can bet your bottom dollar SF3 Urien is going to come down the line.

The original character model was just a Gill palette swap! It didn’t do ITSELF justice!

GTFO!!! :’(
