Ssf4 costumes discussion

for Rufus: Leather jacket, jeans and harley boots, also for his fight intro he should come out riding his bike

Rose’s Alpha series perfect victory gypsy gown please.

You’d probably love it if you’d only dare:lovin:

I still think that “bandage shirt” Abel’s original design was wearing could work as an alt for Makoto.

T Hawk is probably going to have a Baseball Umpire alt
Cody Better have his Final Fight Duds (seems likely, also only costume I will play as him in)

Now wishes

For DJ I wanna see him in Hammer Pants
Also I wanna See Ryu in a business suit.
Also Either Balrog or Dan needs to wear the SF4 Snuggee (backwards robe style for balrog, traditional for Dan)

Dan needs Sakura’s costume

seth should have an outfi thats an suit with shirt unbuttoned (to allow for his moves)

or rather then unbuttoned, rpped :stuck_out_tongue:

Ready for some real, serious and tasteful alt ideas?

* Abel - Alex tribute
* Cammy - Alpha
* Chun-Li - Alpha Outfit or 1 of her outfits from the ST endings.
* Dan - Robert Garcia Alt since his Default is Ryo.
* El Fuerte - Insert Luchador Here
* Fei-Long - Kato or Game of Death Tracksuit.......or traditional Kung-Fu Outfit http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll38/63110478/36-7.jpg or hell even Bruce in Pimp Mode!!!, http://butthorn.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/bruce-lee.jpg
* Gouken - Normal Gi!!!
* Guile - A Bomber Jacket and Jeans with a White T.
* Ken - Street Clothes
* Rose - Alpha Perfect Pose Gypsy Dress
* Rufus - Biker Gear 
* Sagat - Something with the Muay Thai armbands.
* Sakura - Full Gi?
* Vega - Geki Tribute
* Zangief - Something that has this damned hat, http://www.chapelbaitsupplies.co.uk/shop/images/HAT.jpg

Zangief and Bison should both get their capes back.

Balrogs cape actually looks quite decent and has it’s own physics and flow to it instead of it being static. If Bisons and Giefs were like that I’d be happy.

^ wurd, but for some reason I think SF4 Bison wouldn’t look right flying around the screen with a cape. It’d make him seem like some reject from the legion of doom. It looks great in the rival cutscene but not enough to warrant a whole new costume.

I main dictator but for the life of me I can’t imagine what his new costume might be. seems like all they can really do is add flourishes to his current costume like say tassels, more stylized shoulder pads or something but I want to see something more extreme. also love how in HD remix his psycho crusher changes colors based on his costume. that’d be a really nice touch. Any thoughts?

I also think they should give Makoto the bandage shirt from Abels old design, Makoto is also a grappler and it does make perfect sense. That or some sort of really girly outfit just for the juxtoposition.

Also, Bison had an alternative costume design in the art work bit on Street fighter 4, think you have to unlock it but it’s pretty cool.

^ man I think I know what you’re talking about and it’s f-ing ridiculous haha. He has some silly shadaloo helmet and giant tassles, but some sort of adjusted version of that would be awesome. Those giant armored shoulder pads from the 3d Contest a while back would look sick.

That unused costume looked ridiculous. You could just imagine how cumbersome it would be. “Now, face the stumble mighty stumble Bison”!
Bisons alt should be him shirtless, with syringes and ivs in his torso, charging him with Psycho power.

It also makes sense when you factor in Viper’s peculiar crotch bulge :confused:

Bison’s alt should be a truck driver as a tribute to the hilarious ending in the SF animated movie. :stuck_out_tongue:

This please!

As someone who liked Blanka’s alt, I’m in for some more “humorous” alts or just plain awesome

+1 for Cody as Strider
+1 for Vega as Geki
Gouken should get Retsu’s alt [Especially since they’re considered good friends]. He should at least get his monk necklace back
Dan - A suit which is basically filled/made/covered with his own pics in different poses, or even give him a different super taunt/taunt set with each alt
Cammy - Morrigan’s outfit
Bison - Cape and float/ Dimitri’s outfit
Zangief/T Hawk - Clown wrestler like outfit with makeup and all. Just imagine getting 720’d from a 7 ft giant clown :confused:
Sagat - Not exactly an alt but more of an addon, but give him that hood he wore in the SF comics - http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/ryu-and-sagat-comic7.jpg
Viper - Capcom said Viper should keep her tie, so how about a “Skater Girl” like alt? http://images.google.co.il/images?q=avril%20lavigne%20tie&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=iw&tab=wi style came to my mind
Sakura - Hinata’s outfit
Gen - Yun/Yang like clothes. Just imagine him with a baseball cap :rolleyes:
Balrog - http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Sylvester-Stallone---Rocky-III-Photograph-C12150466.jpeg Do I need to say more?
Chun Li - Alpha/ Cop
Guile - Official uniform - http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/guile-cfe-end.jpg Could be cool to see him with a beret on that hair
Abel - http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters2/joe_1.jpg
**Ryu - **Japanese male school uniform

In Gen’s concept art you can see sketches on a costume that resembles what Yun/Yang wears and Gen without his silly hat thing keeping his hair in. Wouldn’t mind seeing that in SSF4.

How about Juri in Hanbok (Traditional Korean Dress)?

Gief dressed like Hugo.

If we get Dudley, he should have a Union Jack themed boxing robe.

I think it’s pretty weird and a bad idea to give characters alt costumes of other characters.
Gief and Hugo are separate play styles and I really like the distinction, it’s a shame when they don’t keep characters as themselves.

I liked how the alt costumes were extensions of that particular character - like Ryu’s Oyama nod and Gief’s Haggar fandom. Those are a bit different as that’s who those characters were basically based on. Likewise, Dan is already half Ryo and half Garcia.

So, in that veign I would like to see:

  • Ken - sponsored US karate federation style Gi (or normal clothes like the anime)
  • Ryu - I thought his SF4 alt was perfect, but perhaps an Evil Ryu style adjustment would be cool.
  • Gouki - A bit difficult but he could look more like one of those warrior statues he’s based on.
  • Dan - the training gear was great, what about some weekend running suit.
  • Gouken - I’d also like to see a proper Gi with his beads back on.
  • Bison - We’ve only ever seen him in his tattered gear, perhaps an idea of what he looked like in his prime with no missing teeth, or his SF1 outfit (yes, Mike IS Bison).
  • Balrog - I thought his flamboyant spaniard alt was ok but it looked like interview with the vampire. He’s a trained Ninja, so how about some sort of Ninja gear for once. It would be a nice throwback to Geki without actually having to pretend to be Geki. He’s based on him anyway so why not.
  • Sagat - his SF4 alt was the best of them all IMO, but I agree some actual muay thai ring wear would be good, dare I say even lose the eye patch and scar… (this would make him too much like Adon but what the hell, a SF1 alt would be nice).
  • Adon - he’s crying out for some old school Ong Bak style alt.

    I think this is so obvious I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get it. So long as they don’t try and make him look casual and end up like some Cali loser:
    http://www.planeteasiat.com/images/shoot076ax[1].jpg
  • Abel - what was he like in his past? That spandex mankini from SF4 was ridiculous, get rid of it.
  • Guile - I’d like to see a drunk and down Guile, or perhaps some sort of Naval ops style jumpsuit. The Charlie thing from SF4 was ok but poorly executed.
  • Dhalsim - the guy in the back of his Zero 3 stage was basically Sim with no skulls and basically looked a bit poorer. India isn’t the third world but I liked that approach, could be interesting.
  • Chun Li - again, she’s crying out for some Zero style outfit, I much preferred that to her cosplay design, has anyone ever seen a kung fu outfit like that??
  • Makoto - seeing as her design is orthodox karate it would seem odd to modernise her, but maybe a more modern sports Gi could look good and fit (literally, make it actually fit size-wise!) with some gloves or something.
  • Ibuki - I saw someone suggested her regular clothes from the SF3 win animations, seems perfect as long as they are not too generic. Either that or a school uniform that’s not the same as Sakura’s.
  • Dudley - I thought stick him in proper black tie wear, suit and cumabund, then realised that’s basically what he already is. Perhaps he could have some sort of after work casual attire, like this awful example of Mr.Bale here. Yes, I’m fucking serious:
    http://www.freddieblack.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/bluesuit.jpg
    Dudley isn’t a professional boxer, plus even pro boxers here don’t have those kind’ve Steve Fox robes, I think that’d look pretty daft on Dudley.
  • Gen - His SF4 panto alt was ok but I’d like to see a proper kung fu master assassin, I’m surprised they didn’t do this obvious and cliche approach with him in SF4 as they did it with others:
    http://www.gilesbowkett.com/images/ancient_kung_fu_master_pai_mei.jpg
    Hakan - this guy is already sounding like one big stereotype. I’ll laugh at whatever they make I’m sure, and wouldn’t have it any other way.
  • Juri - if Juri is meant to be the doll of the same name give her that costume. If not, she desperately needs a proper TKD uniform. That correction art posted way back was perfect.
  • T.Hawk - dare I say proper traditional Native American clothes? I think that would be hardcore to the max.
  • Deejay - Make him look reggae yardie to the extreme I say, make him look dangerous rather than a grinning outdated stereotype. Like this:
    http://farm1.static.flickr.com/173/444702808_0d534e2934.jpg
    with a bit of this:
    http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2135/1492821075_e2040bd203.jpg
  • Cody - if he doesn’t get his Final Fight garb, somebody needs to lose a finger.
  • Fei Long - The Game of Death suit is so obvious it hurts. The briefs and laces from his SF4 alt were just, odd.
  • Rose - Make her look like any other regular hot Italian woman:
    http://cdn.holytaco.com/www/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/sara_varone_italian_sexy_sex_hot_italy_1.jpg
  • Cammy - Cammy needs her Zero outfit, cape and everything. Again I’m amazed they didn’t do this last time and instead made her SF4 alt some sort of ski jacket. Dumb.
  • Blanka - I like the Blanka art where he looks a bit more believable. Perhaps he could have a shirt and jeans that still fit in with his character:
    http://stachist.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/magnum-pi-camera-2-291x300.jpg
    hahahaha, Magnum was the only thing that even looked to close to what I had so bear with me on that one. In think he had something like that in one of his old endings. But as to why they gave him 1920s safari gear forn his SF4 alt I have no idea. He looked like Steve Irwin or something.
  • Zangief - I’d like to see his cape back for his regular outfit anyway, I think it’s a no-brainer to give him Siberian threads. He wouldn’t have to look like a soldier though:
    http://www.sovmusic.ru/jpg/posters/ussr0295.jpg
  • El Fuerte - his chef luchadore outfit was good but looked to similar to his regular, just needs to be more exaggerated I reckon.
  • Rufus - He needs biker gear badly, everyone can see this. Make him look truly awful.
  • Seth - Seeing as Seth is the precursor to Gill and Urien, I think something in line with those guys, a similar looking bandage pair of shorts or a business suit would be cool. I still think Urien is miles better, I’d take him over Seth to be honest.
  • Guy - Give him proper Ninja wear. I always thought he looked odd having that kit with a pair of sneakers, it really didn’t fit. The more Iga he looks the better in my book.
  • E.Honda - I thought his SF4 alt style Yokozuna was bang on, it just needed more exaggeration as it looked a bit too similar.
  • C.Viper - I always thought Viper was a half-assed design but her SF4 alt was even more half-assed. What would she look like when undercover? I don’t know what to say for Viper, the special ops concept art in the gallery was good though and much better than the slightly longer jacket she got as her SF4 alt. It reminded me of a female D.Dark or something, was cool.

I’ve used the proper names here, none of this nickname nonsense.
I’m still praying they put King Cobra or Sean in somewhere or somehow, he was probably the first decent black character design I ever saw come out of Capcom. You don’t have to be black for slightly racist stereotypes to get on your nerves, after 20 years they shoud know a little better.

Nice list LET, I agree with everything.
