The pose is also not the best, so just doing quick edits leaves somethings out too. I like the pants much more in V2, especially keeping in mind that those kind of wavy samurai-like pants never really translate well into 3D.
I much prefer the raised collar in your edits too, tho a smidge higher, to make it more obvious could be better. A high collar also goes with the anime edgelord the design is kinda supposed to be but a bit more toned down of course to be in the Street Fighter spirit.
The thing with the jacket is that in no way does that thing look like it could close. I know it’s probably in order to make the scar more visible, since it covers his whole torso, but it looks way too small for the guy.
I hope Capcom just does Capcom Fighting All Stars for good. With all the characters that should’ve been in it (so Akira with a dual stance would be guaranteed), plus others. My dream would be Zangief, so we finally could have a showdown between him and Haggar. I’m fed up with Zangief never getting to be in a game with Haggar, and vice versa… as they could even play somewhat alike. Ken and Ryu have been almost indistinguishable for years, and no one ever batted an eyelid.
Agree, Haggar already evolve differently it’s like Haggar is the Ralph and Gief is the Clark. Even there body builds and movement has change. Haggar is more Colossus in body built if he was ported in MVC2.
This is also why I want Necro in SFV. I always wanted SFV to be like SF3-vs-SF2, but it felt unlikely to happen now.
Just make Rival Schools 3. You can also throw in there all the edgelord or hip anime designs you need, since it fits that series much better than Street Fighter. Akira is a cool design, but none of those kids fit into Street Fighter, while Rival Schools can use all the sports, breakdancing and all those non-fighting fighting styles to perfection.
Want I want is crossover costumes! Batsu Ryu, Roy Ken, Akira Cammy, Boman Dudley etc.
Not enough international audience for Rival Schools 3, but I hope a couple characters can join Street Fighter or maybe some crossover games.
I just think it’s a pity Akira hasn’t come back. Every character from CFAS (except for originals like DD and Rook) were given a second chance in further crossovers: Haggar in MvC3, Demitri in SvC: Chaos, Alex and Batsu in Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Poison in Street Fighter x Tekken, … but not Akira
She deserves to be in Street Fighter V.
Akira and Batsu was also included in SFO mouse generation. So likely they are some of the characters that Capcom is also favored and considered for future crossover titles.
I know midgardsorm or bakfromon pointed out that the Sakura in RS is not the same in SF because of the blood type. So probably the one in Karin stage isn’t the actual ones in RS but a different counterparts that probably isn’t a fighter. Correct me if I am wrong.
Yeah but everything in Japan is with Japan, were things are more tied in and legit because of communication and influences. Even the external media like manga directly influence the video game more often than western media.
Someday I wanted the whole SF4 Pachinko series videos leaked in the net with high quality. It had a story of Gouken and Ryu training then the later the sequel were about Seth. They are designed under the Capcom JP supervision of the department.
I’m not sure I trust them to do good Darkstalker sculpts. They’ve done a good job with realistic-ish and tough looking dudes, but they haven’t made anything close to Darkstalkers in style. Chun Li, which is the cleanest character they’ve made, is their worst so far.
Oh, I hadn’t seen the Toy Fair pics. Their Lobo actually gives a lot promise for the possible male Darkstalkers they may make, and Cammy seems a huge improvement over Chun Li.
Good showing. I really want to see their Tyris Flare now.
but a bit more toned down of course to be in the Street Fighter spirit.
