The answer here is
why not
Characters in SFV are expressive and stylish. SFV Sakura is no longer Crazy Nonsense Brawler Sakura, but she still has some flair to her stuff. Although I agree with some they went overboard on season 3, especially with Blanka (which no one ever mentions because no one really cares about this shit because actually it's barely even noticeable).
And frankly the hate Sakura gets from a visual standpoint is bizarre. She actually looks really cool.
Stop blindly defending SFV, dude. That's all i'm sayin'.
Do you realize how silly your reply was to someone who said that not everything in V looks better than IV? How does posting a picture of Guile prove that EVERYTHING in V looks better than IV?
I can sit here and critqiue SF5 and it's animations compared to 4 as much as I want, but anyone who legitmately thinks 4 looks better than 5 in terms of visuals is out of their damn mind.
Nah bro, they said in a lot ways. Even if Sakura and Falke hurt you deeply in your soul, two characters and another character's hair isn't a lot of ways and it certainly is no argument for saying that SFV in fact does not visually curbstomp the everloving shit out of SF4.
The Guile comparison is simply to show that SFV is actually a generational leap over SF4 graphically.

Like that just seems like a waste of energy.
I gotta check out Blanka and Cody now if it's even more expressive than this.I agree that stylish animations are nice and compared to 4, sakura does look better here but at a certain point, it's too muchThe answer here is

The best part of SF6 coming out will be that SF5 will suddenly be amazing and I won't have to deal with the same stupid ass arguments in every SF related thread ever anymore. It'll all be relegated to LTTP threads that I can just ignore.
Alright, so :
- SFV looks way, way, way better than SF4. At this point you need glasses if you don't see it.
- SFV have some amazing animations, and some garbage ones.
- Most of the characters looks amazing in SFV, and some are really suspicious (Ken's face, Alex, Ibuki without her mask)
(I hate SF4 and SFV by the way)

Friends and co workers asked me if SFV "was the same game" as SFIV back when it was first announced, since I was know as the SF guy, you guys forget how the casual audience still can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps or resolutions and you expect them to tell SFIV and SFV apart at a glance? Just because of animations or whatever?
That is why I want SFVI to be completetely different as possible visual wise, like SFII, Alpha and SFIII are different from each other.

But then you gotta deal with how 6 sucks and is gonna kill SF
Only after the first year. It'll be at least an entire season of how amazing it is before people start to miss SF5 characters.
Casual audience thinks all sprites look the same. They'll think all Ryus look the same, too.
Yeah it actually doesn't show in that video, but in matches you can see her EX meter drain because of all the strain the animations put on her.

I don't want meaningless info on screen all the damn time.
Everyone's pose game in SFV is on fleek
It's just random bullshit, like he has constant neck pain or something. Thankfully you barely see any of this in an actual match.
Baffling that they don't let you cancel these animations by, say, moving or pressing a button.
SFV is objectively the best animated game after SF3 because Abigail shoots finger guns when he backdashes
Just bad game design, really. Forcing you to watch it all play out. I can't count how many matches I've lost because Zeku wanted to summon a toad.
Thus they are useless information, this isn't a good defense for my point. I play these games seriously I hate shit like this. It's wasted dev time and money on top it all.
Took me six months to finally get the timing down on cancelling Blanka's HP recovery animation into CA.
Chill with the hyperbole.
look at how he falls over when he does the dropkick
what useless infortmation
People that claim that SF4 looks better than SF5 are delusional, SF4 animations are subpar.
Still images as proof animations look bad. Yeah, great idea.
No because it's not, I honestly do not like exaggerated for no reason animations or useless filler stuff in fighters
Jokes on you that whole animation is tied to the recovery frames so it's not useless information. Try again.

what's with that last handstand, elena?
don't these idiots know anything about animation????
Regardless of whether you agree or disagree on it, it's a bit shitty to be sarcastic pricks about something that might legit bother people. I dislike the extended animations too, doesn't mean I'm clueless about how other FG animations work.
Ono's old news no, it's the era of FIGHTING GAME ANIMATIONS now

Tied to recovery frames, try again. You suck at this.

"In a lot of ways" is exactly how i feel about V's graphics. Yes, V is graphically superior, but there are a whole lot of minor issues that detract from the experience.
Not sure exactly why you felt compelled to reply against someone with this opinion, unless you really are a blind SFV fan.
they're tied to recovery frames in SFV too, just ones you cancel out of into other moves 4head
In my defense, I was responding sarcastically to what I thought was a sarcastic comment because...you can stop all of the flourishes by moving or pressing a button.
Yeah that's fair. I wasn't really talking about your post anyway so it's fine. I get what you mean though.
I hope whoever is in charge of 6 makes sure blonde characters don't look like they have playdoh hair.
Complaining about recovery animation is really fucking funny. The dev time spent on those animation flourishes goes literally no where else. If you don't want to see them, you don't have to.
They are not recovery animations, they are post recovery animations. They have no reason to exist.
Man have I got the game for you!
Edit: Also what is your opinion on alternate costumes?
I honestly think some of the post-anims on Sak and Blanka are too much but for the most part they look amazing, especially Cody, G, Zeku, and Abby and I'm upset they didn't go back and add them to pre-S2 characters.
Also if you're gonna complain about bad animations, Cammy air-throw and Gief crouch grab are right there, no need to pick on stuff that is subjective.
It's added flourish. Removing them doesn't add anything. If you don't want to see them, just fucking do anything after lol
I think someone at Capcom watched the Sugar Punch video about animation florishes where he praised Rock Howard's animation where he quickly fixes his hair after heavy punches and kicks and went EUREKA! but went way overboard with it.
I think that Rock works because it feels natural. A snappy action like throwing a punch made his hair fall on his face and he moves it quickly because he's in the middle of a fight. Vanessa shaking her hands after her super also feels natural, but doing a full coreography after a single punch really feels too forced.
The animations are pretty good but I would have prefered if they would've used them as alternate intros/outros instead of wasting them on something that would be cancelled pretty much all the time during a fight and they used short stuff as flourishes or after big combos to enrich their character's personalities.

It's almost like people have said they don't like the extra animations because cancelling out of them looks janky as fuck when characters like Cody have them on every move. Like, fuck we know you cancel them, that's the issue. It just looks janky as fuck when animations don't play out fully cause they take so long.
none of the finer more detailed animations have any reason to exist, if you want Function Fighter V with only the Necessary Information(tm) go download some mods or something
