Juri has flaws but her looks are not one.I really like her visual design in SFV. We have her nostalgia for her old look,even though it changed a bit ( we all miss the side boob ).Juri’s boobs are not big,if u wanna see Godzilla size puppies look no further then Chun,Laura and Mika.
With that said 5 looks much better then 4 in almost every way.
her model looks better not her design, I loved how she had those baggy pants in 4 to emphasize her kicks similarly to how they used big hands and feet for the other characters, she was sexy while still resembling a martial artist in a distinctive outfit, now she’s just an oversexualized bimbo in a bodysuit.
And they managed to ruin her nostalgia costume too
They did on purpose, I saw a video on YT last year where the Design Team explained their goal. They want females to be ‘hot’ and males to be manly on roids as possible. We still have hit-or-miss designs like Birdie and Fang, but in general they stayed loyal to want they said before. It’s a bit childish, but whatever. Juri previous look emphasize her Taekwondo martial art style more, but probably Capcom want people to fap at her outside playing the character.
Some models in IV were pretty horrid: Blanka like you said, and I think Zangief too was pretty bad. Others were definitely better though, I feel like the quality of the models in SFIV improved as time went on, just compare the Ibuki model to the Zangief one in that video.
Overall I don’t think that SFIV was an ugly game, it had a nice style to it even if some models and animations were a solid miss. SFV blows it out of the water though (even though I still think that Sakura feels better in IV compared to V).
I like that they are keeping the 4 Pointed Star symbol (I think it’s the Illuminati symbol but it’s unconfirmed), and the “butterfly” sigil of Gill on her arm like that.
