I always thought they should have released a “cosplay” pack in USF4, where characters would dress up as characters from other Capcom games. That would have been a FAR FAR better idea IMO than the stupid animal/furry pack or “summer/beach” bullshit they came up with.
I never gave a shit about paid DLC costumes in either this game or SFxTekken, but would have happily done so if it was a cosplay pack. It wouldnt necessarily be hard to find someone suitable either, for example Cammy as Morrigan, Zangief as Victor, etc. In the case of the SF5 characters revealed so far I would say the following:
[list]
[] Ryu - Hayato from Star Gladitor or Ryoma from Power Stone
[] Ken - Dante
[] Chunli - June/Jill Valentine
[] M.Bison - Wesker
[] Vega - Kenji/Mukuro from Warzard
[] Cammy - Morrigan/Lillith, Mary Miyabi (from Cyberbots)
[] Birdie - Bowman
[] Nash - Kyosuke Kagami, Captain Commando (maybe this for Guile instead)
[*] Necalli - er… Kurow Kirishima?
[/list]
Other characters not annoucned could be for example
I imagine the first round of costume alts will be classic versions for all the returning characters in 5 who have different appearances. (Bison, Vega, Ken, etc.)
From there I’m pretty open for whatever. My preference is for more serious alts to come out first before we get crazy off the wall stuff ala the animal costumes in 4.
Necalli as medusa would be funnier, not because of the gender issue but because of his hair. Especially when he goes super saiyan mode.
I don’t really get Ryu as mummy though. I guess you just kind of had to find something for him but didn’t really fit to me. If you wanna be super racist you could have Birdie as King Kong, which works with the whole banana peel.
