Is HOT RYU the most significant event in videogame history?

This thread is about bearded Ryu being hot, which he totally is.
Yeah, sexualised females in major franchises are a dime a dozen, this is different.
The discussion is mainly focused around Ryu's beard.

That's E-Honda, geez can't you tell??I found Hot Ryu
Oh man, it's a preorder bonus? And they had almost sold me a copy. Oh well...

Neither hot nor significant.

I see it.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I love that they've made Ryu look even hotter at the same time that flop Ken got beat with the ugly stick for SFV.
Although Chris Redfield >>> Ryu though.

You can still buy it, it's just a bonus if you get it from the specific retailer.

I like your boycott idea. You're smart. Lets rally on this, everyone!
Your perception regarding to asian might be wrong.

I agree! The thread title is hyperbole and I'm not sure this even warrants a thread. I'm just responding to the people that can't see the difference between why someone would find this alt more alluring than the one in SFIV.
Besides the awful artstyle, I mean.
Beard thirst is indeed a real thing, though I'm not at liberty to elaborate

Whatever gives new and novel excuses to shame Kotaku for such hilariously shallow sanctimonious double standards in the less than a week since R. Mila was unveiled.
Why do most game beards make it look like the characters have shit caked on their faces?So Hot Ryu is a thing now. Daddy has taken the world by storm.
Does anyone else think that this could be a watershed moment for equal inclusion of eye candy? Capcom have dabbled with this kind of thing before (mostly Chris in RE) but never this forwardly and with their most significant character.
Maybe now the floodgates have opened we are entering a brave new world of videogame fanservice? Discuss.

They're catering to the yaoi/bara crowd with manly Ryu and pretty boi Ken in SFV 
But seriously, it's a good look for him. Does this game take place chronologically later in the story? Is he supposed to be older?

Capcom needs to one-up that Dante's Inferno tech.
This
Is this supposed to be inclusive to a female audience... or a gay male audience? If the latter, then it's still just pandering to the male audience. In fact, it would give more excuses to these developers that have big boob jiggle physics all over the place because of male bulge/butt jiggle physics. Anyway, I'd love to hear what Anita would say.
Most real beards make it look like the person has shit caked on their faces. Fuck beards.

That's pandering to a male audience that is distinct from THE male audience.
You are a bad person. You should feel bad. Beards are lovely.*

Just because you find a model attractive doesn't make it noteworthy.... unless this is a first crush kind of thing. You never forget the first crush. To me he just looks like a dude who let himself go. If you touch him, he looks like he would be sticky and smell like onions.
FACIST!
Could be both, in a way. If you try to pander to male gays, you'll inevitably get the attention of the fujoshi part of the female audience.

Isn't this more male titillation? How many posters in this thread are female?

most gaf threads are 99% men. that's what makes the sexism discussions so funny...they rarely, if ever, have any women in the discussion outside a few tokens.
Get out. My beard is magestic as hell.

In this post straight men = gay men.
Gay men being catered to in a mainstream franchise just a little is part of the problem of women being exploited in games for straight men's entertainment? Or something?

They were certainly considering it for SFIV, at least.
A shame they couldn't have used a beard closer to the one in that design for this costume...
That is a beard I can get behind.
I guess this will be the to-go argument when "it's just a power fantasy" can't really be said with a straight face. Devs just can't win.

Neither can minority audiences, apparently.
Yeah, was about to edit the post with "and also apparently gay men have tons of content of this nature made for them, if this can be dismissed as just more male titilation", then I saw your post
So you can feel it rubbing on your face when he's embracing you.

Ryu looks like he's from the middle east now.
