Street Fighter 5: too provocative

I think Capcom should just try to stick to their guns and see wether these depictions drive away their core audience.

Kowtowing to social justice - Not even once

Forgot quotations around provocative.

I am probably the biggest SF fan on these forums and this is whatever. As it was mentioned these are things in development and things are subject to change. It is one of the reasons why I don't like playing betas. Watching something constructed instead of seeing the fully finished product is a much different experience.

What do you mean, I can't take my pants off after seeing a digital character smack her own butt.


Real talk though, her breasts are still hanging out all over the place. Not saying they should change that, but targeting the butt slap over that is hilarious.

[unfilteredJW]

Honestly, the butt slap move would be hilarious if it was two wrestler dudes.

Missed opportunities

Playing a sexy deadly female is a fantasy for quite a few girls, not just guys.
One thing I think gets mentioned too little is how often things are seen as JUST male fantasy. I honestly
love playing a great looking female that can kick guys asses, so for me it qualifies as female fantasy.
(My impressive 5ft height will let me do no such thing, so I can only dream!)
Like with hunky guys, women like looking at them and men like pretending to be them, only this is the other
way around. Let the girls that enjoy playing a sexy deadly female keep the ones we have, there are other
nice options for those wanting to play a more conservative female.

It's just so Capcom doesn't have to deal with NA game "journalism" websites bawwwing about sexual fetishication of fictional characters who can survive a piledriver on concrete.

It's self-censorship in the name of $$$$.

Sigh.... Ok that Mika and Cammy's animations were fanservice.... but can't we have a one frame butt slap anymore without offending tumblr? And i find more ridiculous the double butt slam in Mika's super than her "provocative" gesture, which is in her character....

Oh, i'm totally offended by Zangief's dong and air chest, Capcom, fix it.

And today in "Extremely minor changes to a game that make no significant or meaningful difference that people will get upset by"

The tweet linked in the article is correct. There are a ton of changes that go on during development that people have no clue about, sometimes they're minor camera adjustments and other times they can be late overhauls of a system or character.

Honestly, of my friends that are more into the fighting game scene, this rates extremely low on their list of shit they care about for the upcoming game. They're far more interested in like, actual gameplay. Especially considering like, you know, the outfits are still delightfully ridiculous (Mika's especially) and the fanservice still very much exists.

[unfilteredJW]

Yeah, it seems like they are worried about the wrong kind of boxes.

[Sammonoske]

Funny that they censor the butt slap but the crit. art ends with R.Mika and her partner smashing their opponents head between their butts.

I believe they usually call that "marketing"

[zEmini]

Holy shit this game looks awful. I use to be a big Street Fighter 2 fan and I dunno what to say here ....

The outfits ... the body shapes of these characters ...

Completely and utterly lubricious.

Going to have to agree. Tag team butt pincer attack just looks stupid.

I'm the opposite. I love stuff like this because it demoralizes the opponent.

The goofier, the better.

[Nachturnal]

Surely there isn't anything else to complain about? Who cares if it's provocative, the game looks like it sucks. I would think gameplay was more worthy of note rather how much thigh meat a character shows.

[Usagi Senshi]

While R Mika is a fun character and such antics fit her theme (reminds me of Mai Shiranui+Athena), I'm not playing SFV for fanservice. I admit to being a Chun-Li and Karin fan though. :P

[Volitar]

Stupid but doesn't really matter tho. Remove the funny/silly butt slap all you want but shes still ramming her G string ass into another guys face.

[Orby]

That butt thing had me in tears of laughter, its so over the top!!! I can see why people might complain though.

I do wonder if they are doing it on purpose because its so in your face, they're not even trying to be discreet, well done Capcom. you out did yourself on this one, don't know if to cheer or facepalm. Personally I think its just funny though xD

I don't have an opinion on it, on one side I just think its harmless fun on the other hand I can see why people are complaining.
