Tbh i got no much problem with colors being only 2, but i will have loved color #2 to be personalized for each char, using their classic color schemes

Only SF2 and maybe 1 had “regular” sized hands/feet. Maybe the EX series. I felt the newer cap vs snk had an excellent balance.

You are right. It was post SF2 that the change occurred.
Capcom has gone over this in one of their talks about SFV’s art direction. Characters have pronounced extremities because it makes punches and kicks easier to read. While I’d argue it’s a bit redundant so long as you properly highlight limbs via color spread, that’s the route they chose and I don’t see them reversing course.
Holy shit, why is this game so much better than Street Fighter IV and V?
I know that, but it’s a poor excuse. Other games dont have huge hands and feet and players can still read the strikes. Plus SF2 didn’t have it and players still compete in that game to this day

SF2 had that stuff though.
It’s just the way Street Fighter does stylization, you’d think people would have figured it out by now.

Yeah I have no problem with SF hand and feet.
It’s the musculature that I think it straight-up awful in SF4 and 5

Speaking about muscles and body shape. Anyone else think Fahkumram in T7 is actually based on the remnants of what was suppose to be Sagat in TXSF? The body shape is very similar and even alot of the moves look like tiger knees

With the way game development and reuse of assets go, that would not surprise me and it seems likely
You beat me to saying that. The whole over-the-top muscles looks so ugly in SF4+5. They look more bloated and sick than actually muscular as they were in Alpha and SF3.

SF3 had the best SF art style for me. As far the muscle issue, Alpha is where it went off the rails. Cody, Akuma, Sagat, Zangief and Bison are the biggest in the franchise in Alpha. The size different between Alpha Ryu and Alpha Gief is significantly greater than the size different between SF3 Ryu and SF3 Hugo.

It looks bloody awful
It looks especially bad for the female characters, cause the male ones already have huge oversized muscles so the comparison is less jarring. But these female chars have petite arms and then the huge XXXL sized hands, looks so terrible

Agree to disagree then, to me it’s just part of the stylization.

Origins: The son of a soldier, Alex was orphaned at a young age. His parents were killed in a plane crash. Tom, his father’s best friend, took Alex in a raised him along side his daughter Patricia. The loss of his parents made Alex an angry youth. Tom started training Alex to instill discipline in him and help him channel his rage into something positive. After a short time, Alex came to view Tom and Patricia as family. Over the years the highlight of his day was going to Tom’s gym to train. Sparring with the various fighters that came to Tom for coaching and pummeling anyone that disrespected his “sister” Patricia.
One day when he entered Tom’s gym with Patricia, he saw strange man leaving. He was half blue and half red. Alex saw Tom in a heap on the floor. He ran over to check on him. Tom was badly heart but still alive. Alex told Patricia to call 911 and he ran outside to find the strange man. When Alex got outside, the man was long gone. As he and Patricia rode in the ambulance with Tom to the hospital, Alex vowed revenge. Tom, briefly regained consciousness and told Alex that “it was a fair fight.” but Alex wouldn’t hear it.
On the internet of all places, Alex saw the strange man fighting another fighter. His name was killed and he used the battle with a fighter named G to announce his presence to the world. Gill made it know that he would be organizing a martial arts tournament and he would face off against the winner. Alex wrote a short letter, placed it in an envelope, and left by it Tom’s beside. Alex would go on to defeat Gill but the victory felt empty. He could tell Gill was holding back. Still he returned to Tom with the news. He was simply see that Alex was okay. Patricia scolding him for leaving without saying goodbye. Alex described a fighter that he say to Tom. A man with a red head band that felled the massive Hugo. The man disappeared after an encounter with an one armed fighter. Alex was impressed with his skill and sought him out. The fighter, Ryu, thoroughly outclassed him. Although he never saw him after that, Alex used the memory of that fight as motivation to improve.
After several years and multiple championships in various organizations, Alex still could not find out what happened to the mysterious Ryu. He wanted to rematch him badly. Bored he took a fight with an upcoming MMA fighter from Holland. Alex made quick work of his opponent. A misunderstanding post fight, ended up with Alex meeting the woman that would ultimately become his wife.

Occupation: Kickboxer/Striking Coach
Likes: Her Family (Alex and Aleida), Elbow Strikes, Roselle Hibiscus Blossom Tea
Dislikes: Traditional Dutch Kickboxing Rules*, Being called Alexandra (Her name is Xandra)
Fighting Style: Muay Thai/Dutch Kickboxing
Tone: Xandra is brash, supremely confident, and borderline arrogant.
Origins: Xandra was named after her father Xander. He was famous Dutch Kickboxing champion. At the height of his popularity, Xander was called out by the Muay Thai Emperor, Sagat. Xander fought Sagat under traditional Muay Thai rules. It was Sagat’s technique, clinch work and elbows, not his size that gave Xander the most trouble at lead to his defeat. Instead of returning home, Xander stayed in Thailand. He was frustrated by his lack of preparedness. Xuwicha, a master at nearby Muay Thai school, was impressed with Xanders performance. Despite not possessing all eight tools, he was strong fighter. While training under Xuwicha, Xander fell for and married his daughter.
Xandra spent the majority of the first ten years of her life in Thailand. Her father would bring her Holland through out the year to visit her grandparents. At the age of ten, her parents moved to Holland so that her father could open up his own kickboxing school. He wanted a school that taught the traditional Dutch Kickboxing he grew up with as well as the Muay Thai he had studied for the past 15 years.
Xandra grew up learning both styles. Due to her proficiency with elbow and clinch work, she preferred Muay Thai. Inheriting her father’s size, Xander is 6’8” (2.03m) tall, Xandra faced little competition from the girls her age. She preferred to fight boys as they could actually put up a fight. By the time she became a teenager, she was easily the strongest fighter at her father’s school. Xandra was 5’11 (1.8m) tall at 13 years of age. She’d often sneak away to enter underground fighting tournaments while masquerading as an adult. Her parents were dismayed when they discovered this. On the recommendation of his wife, Xander sent Xandra to live with her grandfather to instill some discipline in her.
Xandra returned five years later, now 6’2” (1.88m) tall, with every championship Thailand had to offer. It only took three years for her to repeat the same feat on the European circuit. Unable to get any fights, no one would fight her, Xandra began working as a striking coach for an up and coming MMA fighter that had trained previously at her father’s school. He was training for a fight with world champion. A fighter from America named Alex. Alex was an impressive fighter and made quick work of his opponent. Xandra approached Alex to challenge him to a fight. He did not speak Dutch and she did not speak English. She asked one the other coaches to translate for her. Instead of challenging him to a fight, the coach told Alex that Xandra thought he was handsome and wanted to invite him to dinner. Xandra was confused by Alex’s sudden blushing but the coach said he accepted. When Alex arrived for their “fight” he was well dressed and carried a large hibiscus flower which he handed to her. Confused, she beckoned him to come inside. To her surprise, there were two extra places set at the dinner table by Kanda, her mother. She later found out that mother had arranged to whole thing.
Despite the initial language barrier, Alex and Xandra would hit off. Their shared passion for fighting bonded them. Slowly she learned English and the two would eventually marry. They would have a daughter, Aleida, a short time later. Although Alex’s Dutch remains poor, Xandra has become fluent in English. Due to Alex’s influence, she speaks in a New York accent. Aleida is five years old.

Sky Knie Raid – Charge B,F,BF+K: Xandra rushes through the air toward her opponent with a right-left flying knee combination that pops her opponent into the air. She then carries her opponent skyward with a barrage of six alternating left and right knee strikes. On the final knee strikes, Xandra sails past her opponent before driving them head first into the ground with a diving knee strike.
- 510 Damage (2x90, 6x30, 1x150)
- 190 Stun
- 4 Bars of Z-Gauge
Reasons to be in SFVI:
Outside of the occasional exhibition, Xandra has not been able to get a sanctioned kickboxing fight. Essentially, she is involuntarily retired from the kickboxing scene, Xandra looks to the world of underground fighting to find a challenge as she did in her youth. The world martial arts tournament is the perfect chance for her to cut loose against the worlds best and hopefully find herself a rival. Plus it’s a chance for household bragging rights.
Notes:
- Dutch Kickboxing does not allow the use of elbows and limits clinching. Xandra excels at elbow techniques. Hence her disdain for traditional Dutch Kickboxing rules.
- Xandra’s father Xander is 6’8” (2.03m) but her mother Kanda is only 5’5”(1.65m)
- Xandra’s despite growing up in Thailand and Holland, speaks English like a native New Yorker since she learned the language by speaking with Alex.
- Hates when people thing her name is Alexandra or when people combine her and her husband’s name into Alexandra.
- Both the Thai flag and the flag of the Netherlands are red, white, and blue. Her upper body colors mirror the flags of her parents.

At times I wonder if it is just fetishes of Capcom’s designers showing through.
Consider Chun-Li’s ever-increasing thighs. Yoko Shimomura said that when she asked Akiman about the size of Chun-Li’s legs, he started shouting about the appeal and telling her about his fetishes. Ono apparently credited SF4 Chun-Li’s thighs to character designer Daigo Ikeno being into “thick girls”.
Has anyone besides Ono explained the large hands/feet as existing for readability? I don’t really doubt the existence of the excuse, even though I doubt the actual effectiveness of the practice, but Ono came into the picture after the practice started.
