It matters as Capcom likes to factor in a character’s nationality into their designs.

I really hope they add animal costumes for SFV.
Heck,i tried Gen just because of his animal costume lol.

And now he became someone i use daily.
Please, no. The animal costumes were the worst costume pack ever released for this game. At least the summer costumes were somewhat funny from time to time like Zangief in a diving costume but this? This is too much

I like the animal costumes, really, I do. But Gen isn’t evil at all…

1- The thing is with Juri’s final design is JUST THE FKING spikey hair buns and the spikes on her gloves. If you remove those, shed be 50% better in my opinion. Its like they were trying to recreate chunli or something. No! just no!.
I usually compare any new characters to SF2 and try to imagine, if these character had a 16bit sprite in the style of SSF2, would they fit into that game? If the answer is yes, then I usually like that character design.
Look at the more favourite SF3 characters for example, Makoto, Dudley, Elena, Alex, Urien, Ibuki - Karate, Boxing, Capoeira, Wrestling, Aincent Greek Wrestling, Ninjitsu (dont know if this is a real martial art tho). Remy’s fighting style is suppose to be Savate apparently, but he doesnt actually look much like a savate character. (The fact that he is basically a guile clone also doesnt help his popularity.)
Its also why I quite liked Abel & El Fuertes design even if im not too fond of their gameplay. They should make the final boss of this game some uber badass martial artists (think Geese!), who is cocky enough to just challenge the greatest fighters on earth. Because, badass fighting.
So in short, more martial arts looking characters please or at least less stupid/goofy ones. Limited the oddball characters to 1/2 per game MAX.

Sorry to disagree, but please no
As somebody who overall liked first Alts (specially first Alts 1 and 3, but 2nd wave was kinda good too), i’ve found terrible the last ones
-Genzoman’s 4 (but i save Elena)
All terrible imho
First ones at least seem to try keep some character link and general SF aesthetic, last stuff seem just shitty as concept design, understand the game artstyle, terrible colors and even execution
After some point was like they did’nt eve try do good stuff… do shit and hope for money
All when the official artbook got fuckton of awesome never used designs
Seriously wtf

OMG!
Regarding the animal pack, I think Hakan’s, Honda’s and Dudley’s costumes are pretty cool. Gen looks sick in that drawing^
Juri’s hair is my biggest issue with the character design - it’s like they’re saying “HEY! SEE THIS GIRL? YEAH, SHE’S EVIL, DUDE, YEAH, NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT”
That small hairstyle element is like the imitation of a demon horns - it’s looks plain stupid and you don’t need to do that to make a character evil, more so to outright say if he/she is one.
If they kept her hair straight - doesn’t matter long or short - there would be a certain element of mystical attraction you’d have towards her.
Like that longhair juri concept - you look at her, you see a beautiful woman, you don’t suspect anything about her, nothing really speaks that there’s something off about the personality
And then BOOM - she kicks you in the gut with a smile on her face as if she enjoys violence, and unexpectedly you see a crazy bitch type of character
To me it’s much more menacing when there’s a “looks can be deceiving” design attached to a character ,it makes him/her THAT much better
I see your point, but I don’t think that was the point Capcom was going after with her. They wanted her to have a venomous attitude and appearance, transparent. I don’t know if you are familiar with Bleach, but I’d say she’s comparable to a Kenpachi or Mayuri in that when you look at them, you know they are fucked up and that you are about to get fucked up lol.
I think Cody’s is the only one people STILL don’t know wtf he is.

I’ve always suspected it was supposed to be a Jackal or Coyote. Whatever it is, the costume was awful, just like most of his alts
Black Back Jackal
Coyote
This!

This is why I hate the final design they gave her in SF4, but at least her alt costume has slightly longer hair
My one big gripe about Juri’s design is that she’s way too tied to the idea of being nega-Chun Li. No joke when I first saw a screenshot of Juri, I assumed they pulled an E. Ryu and gave us Evil Chun Li. Their clothes and design are very similar just mirrored to good and bad. They play differently but the idea is still girl who kicks a lot. Hell, their backstory is even similar, it’s just that Juri went psycho instead of trying to avenge her parents.
Still, easily my favorite character from IV, though.
I think after years of waiting it’s time to give Chun-Li a police outfit with her hair down.
If she got a police outfit she’d need her hair to be up still. However I’d like it if it was like a traditional military 1 bun in the back thing. I would like another costume with her hair down though, a more casual look would be cool.

Just give her a morrigan outfit
Ken in a business suit would be great.

Doesn’t have the chest to wear that outfit though…
There was a post on the capcom unity blog where Ayano talked about how some people didn’t recognize some of the animals and cleared up confusions about them. I tried looking for it but didn’t find it.
Yes! Ono pls
Well, she’s bigger than Lilith at least.
Yea that’s cute. I just want to see one costume of her, where she has her hair down.
I was just gonna post this picture. =)
We need dat!
Ono pls.
Mmmmmmmmm…nah I don’t like it.
Question from: Anonymous
I’d like to know what the Wild Costumes are based on. There are a lot of characters you get just from looking, but some of them make me really curious.
Ayano: The ones that are hard to tell just from looking? Well, I think that’d be these ones:
Juri -> Leopard
If there were any other characters you didn’t get, I’m sorry!
Only 6 chars are explained, none of them Cody.
Well. Cammy and Decapre in SFIV are almost as flat as the Netherlands but they gave them the most revealing outfits in the game.
But seeing how both Chun-Li and Cammy gained a cup or two in SFV, I wouldn’t be surprised if Juri gets a bigger pair as well.
By your recent posts I can tell your account has been hacked!

True. And I believe Juri is the youngest, so she’s still developing
