SFV is now free to play of steam and PS4ā¦
What surprised could we get next? F2P SFV rather than SFV expansion?
The problem with SF ken is the change of majority of the color palette. You can even put Kenās color pallete to Ryu in early SF games and people would confuse Ryu to be Ken because of the majority of reds, but doing the other way around with Ken with Ryu pallete some would still notice it is Ken.
Thereās no problem with Kenās color palette to begin with, itās what makes him stand out to Ryu and the rest of the shoto clones. The issues of Ken being a clone is his move sets to be specific not his appearance to be clear.
Even in far vision looking someone with blonde hair and in red the perception is Ken not Ryu even without distinctive facial features. Thats were they were wrong. Even Max or other Ken fans dislike the change, because Kenās appearance is okay.
What they were successful about changing Ken was updating his movesets.
The successful change in SFV was Dhalsim, Bison, Claw, Sakura, Sagat, Blanka and Karin
Why did this get unstickied?
Fun thing i noticed watching the gorilla sketches is that if you watch the concepts of
NeoShadaloo Team A - NeoShadaloo Team B
The final Gorilla design is actually a mix of Gorilla A and FatGuy B (costume)
Same hat and geometric/circle circuit pattern on the belly

Sure thing. Once this thread gets to 5,000 posts either make a new thread or Iāll remind you guys to make a new one. After 5,000 these things start to be just a long scribe any way.

May I suggest āTSISFVST: 3rd Strikeā as a title for the new thread? 
Just keep the title similar as possible to the usual, So the previous guys that are not always active but are spectators from the more previous threads would still knows were to look or find their way home, because itās not just āusā here

@The_Shakunetsu You took those intials literally, didnāt you?
Iād like the title to be the same with the addition of ā3rd strikeā to the end.
Nah, I didnāt, Yet itās obviously too long to complete if it wasnāt in initials to begin with. Isnāt it?
Ryu Final new cover probably a re-issue

Nice.

They absolutely nailed Bisonās SF5 look. Give me some of those āPsycho Stabilizerā and Super Villain alt costumes though, and I will take definitely those upwards pointed shoulder pads and arm guards for SF6 thank you.
Man, WTF? Birdie has some of the most bizarre costumes ever. Like those half-nude and Doll designs. I canāt unsee them. 
Nice. Get a nice scanner so you can preserve them digitally forever!

The people at the centre of the SF series over at Capcom still have a soul and still have a lot of love for these characters. Somewhere along the way from them to us, something gets lost and muddied but you can see it if you look for it. Capcom did not lose themselves even though they have struggled on the business side in some years trying to capture the attention of younger audiences and western audiences as well.
