if im not mistaken in alpha 3 his taunt is him taking off his cuffs. his fight style is now like that, he leaves them on because that is how he fights IE even if he didnt have the cuffs on he would still fight like that. so its not a big deal.
Even if he prefers to fight like he has cuffs on, it would look stupid if he was moving with his hands like that if the cuffs weren’t there… They’d have to change his walk animation, and probably some of his reeling animations, too.
This is a great point and could have been used in regards to ALL the characters. Excellent thought.
Except in the in the timeline we are past those events and cammy is longer a “doll”. She is part of Delta Red and past her influence from Bison. Soooo that’s why it doesn’t make sense.
This is just a minor note anyhow as the real complaint is that it looks retarded. They could have done so much better. What about the Red Hood image of her in the image gallery of SF4? That outfit looked really cool as well.
pic or link?
Ya, the unfortunate thing is that for a lot of the characters there are a lot of pretty obvious costume ideas that 95% of the fanbase would like, and then Capcom turns around and gives us Ryu as a sea captain or whatever.
Ryu’s new outfit seems to look like Ryu from Breath of Fire 4, I think it was 4 anyway.
Ryu’s costume reminds me more of a sleeveless goemon-esque samurai outfit.

I’m not sure if this is accurate, and i’m sure someone with better knowledge might be able to correct me, but from the small screenshot of ryu’s alternate is looks like what i think is called a “hakama”.
and…
He doesn’t fight like he has cuffs on, not at all. The chain is way too long to restrain any of his punch motions. If you are referring to his fighting stance I recommend you take a gander at any boxing match. Why you ask? Because Cody uses a text book boxing guard as well as throws boxing punches. In no way would removing the cuffs make Cody look awkward.
The weird thing with Cody is that the chain on his cuffs is LOOOOOOOONG in SSF4. I presume this is because when he gets stuck in a throw animation and his arms are waving around, at least it doesn’t look like he broke out of his cuffs. But of course this ends up making it look like he’s not even wearing cuffs in the first place because they’re not really restraining him. So making them invisible in SSF4 wouldn’t be much different from having them IMHO.
All the same, his cuffs are his primary weapon. Knife and rocks are secondary.
Using Ryu’s 2nd alt should change his Ultra from a Metsu whatever to a RAGING STORM!!!
Never happen…why give you the ability to make your own shit when Capcom can charge you for what they think you should have? The new costumes are nice, but i’m still down on the charging for costumes thing. What if all fighters start doing this shit? That’s a dangerous precedent, especially for games where characters have tons of outfits, like most other 3d fighters. I’d rather pay in-game virtual money for costumes or unlock them like we did in every other fighter up until sf4. If there’s anything I’d pay for, it would be more characters.
So far it sounds like we won’t be paying anything for the new alts… That is that the rumors are saying at least…
Well his f.walking animation wouldn’t make any sense, but other then that I can’t see the cuffs restraining any of his other movements. Hell, with the way his arms stretch so far apart in his animations, I sometimes forget he’s handcuffed. Kinda wish his moves had more emphasis on the handcuff restraints like in A3 since they’re gonna keep cuffs on him. If it wasn’t for the chain sounds, I’d think his cuffs were made of rubber.
Even in Alpha 3 his chain was uber long; his punches were never constrained by his cuffs. However, he did at least use the handcuffs in one of his throws in Alpha 3…
A hakama is that stuff you wear on your legs. Don’t know what the upper body wear is called, but yeah, it’s a traditional samurai outfit. I think it looks awesome on him.
I’d like to see THAWK in a leather jacket with those western tassles on the arms. Maybe Ken already has that though, I haven’t seen Brokeback Ken yet.
I main Chun li and I’d like to see her new alt get REDESIGNED becuase there is absolutely nothing appealling about it. It’s just loud and awkward imo. It MIGHT look better in a different color scheme but honestly…Chun already has two Chinese dresses and a third seems redundant to me.
Give her a stylized anime cop outfit, or something that reflects her professional side. She IS with Interpol after all…although sometimes I feel that Capcom forgets that.
Heh! Well I guess it’s not ALL bad but…ya. I feel like it would have been better to have given her something a li’l different.
I think they should give Juri a really conservative alt costume, sort of a suspension of disbelief thing against her character.
Chun’s is not interesting. As someone mentioned, the INTERPOL costume is what she should have.
Zangief’s is just…too silly and doesn’t fit the game.
AND Cody…fine, he keeps the jail suit, but make his alt the EXACT one from Final Fight!!! That’s the real Cody, not the jail suit. C’mon. White shirt, not sleeveless. blue jeans.
i read on this site that Gouken is getting a MK Raiden like costume(you know hat and all of it) http://ipremii.com/index.php?r=rabj
BTW can you please tell me where to find a GKN ultra in a decent quality…i only saw it like this http://ipremii.com/index.php?r=j4il
