Officer Chun-Li costume spotted in latest SFV beta, also some other lame costumes
- Thread starter Warxard
- Start date
That also just comes down to preference though. There are a few I think are pretty bland too. Like Laura's is lack luster but I think Cammy's looks great.
You'll get your stranger costumes as time goes on anyway like we did with sf4.
They don't seem to be going to crazy for the first wave of costumes (besides Necalli who is just a rock monster now) and instead going for more casual/professional looks for the characters so that those who want an alt can at least get something that is different than the base look but not too out there.
Stuff like Djinni Rashid and the return of Mecha-Gief will come in due time once people have had time with the game and find mains they want to spend money on for weirder costumes.

Some of these costumes are seriously so lazy and unimaginative.
That's what I hope, at least. Putting it that way, I guess it makes sense that those types of costumes wouldn't be the ones included in initial promotion and would be further down the road, post-launch.
Man. Capcom is totally going to make us pay to make Birdie not too much of a joke character.

Looking forward to 7 years of Mika combo videos set to Back that Azz Up by Juvenile

Yep. I guess the first alts usually are though.
Can't wait for the Wild costumes for 5 though. They'll look so goofy, really hope they do them again.

I feel like this is a minority opinion in the West
I have no real qualms with the man's work but its certainly.......divisive.
I mean, not everything he does is a winner, to be sure. But man, LOOK AT THIS! Imagine if we were getting more stuff in line with this than, "yeah, she's in a shirt now. Overcoat, no pants though. I don't know". Take some risks with your alts capcom!
That looks awful. Lol.
Sex sells.
You look awful.

Can't speak for how attractive Skilletor is but they're right.
Glad you're not in charge of the alt costumes.

...You joke but this is actually something I want to see.
no forks no spoons no knives
eat that booty up like ravioli
I love you, too. <3
I like Hyung Tae Kim, but that's one of the worst pieces you could have chosen.
Go away.
Seriously.
I would ask if this happens every time a new game or fighting game comes out but I already know the answer.

Oh wow, very happily surprised. Officer Chun is sick, and uniformed Cammy is cool though it's getting silly with the whole no pants thing.
Disappointed in Laura's, it doesn't look that bad in the screenshot, but as others have said it's just boring and rushed.

That's why there should be an option not to see alts online.
But then that would dramatically disincentivize players to acquire the alternate costumes, because part of the appeal is showing them off to opponents.
I've always seen it as the fact I get to see them.
I don't care if anyone else sees me using it.
We've had gore and swear toggles, so I guess a sex toggle is the logical next step.
I think there are a good number of players who consider that to be the only appeal, but it's undeniable that the costumes would become significantly less popular if other players didn't get to see them. It's the primary factor that drives these aesthetic options; the kind of stuff people always bring up in loot driven games.
I think it looks good. Not for a fighting game, but still, the point is to be risky.
I don't want to get to the point where we just throw everyone in a quipao and call it a day either.

I've never understood this mentality. The reason I want to buy an alt is because /I/ want to see it. I don't get why people care if others can see the alt or customization they've created unless they're just trying to annoy people, in which case, even more reason to make it an option.
I don't want to see Blanka in a mardi gras outfit. Some of the alts even get in the way of the readability of the characters. I'd rather be able to turn them off online. Colors and customizations, too.
People use forks for ravioli though

Or Final Fantasy 15
Gurl needs more thighs.
Nice to see Cindy design still being the absolute worst, also Noctis "dancing" makes the whole thing hilarious
Yeah, but Capcom won't put as much effort into alternate costumes if more people don't buy them, and I bet more people won't buy them if they know that a lot of people might not see them. At least, that's what I think based on the talks and effort surrounding the Dota and LoL models. It could be wrong, and having a toggle wouldn't impact how many people seek the costumes out.
The outfits are excellent. Capcom has done a great job.
Suddenly way more hyped for FF15 now
I have to wonder when people say things like this do they actually mean it?

Man do I love this game's powerful, bombastic and curvy style. Amazing.I like Cop Chun, but hair down Chun is much better

Haha not really. I was already going to buy FF15 long before I saw this gif. I certainly don't mind the fan service, though.
You are now seeing a dick bulge.
Ugh, it's so boring...
Well, personally, I do think it's weird that a gif of a side character's tanlines would make somebody interested in a game that's likely to be 30+ hours long and won't feature said character in said gif very much.
So, no, not a crap opinion, but definitely an odd way to decide how to spend 50-60 bucks.
