Holy crap, Street Fighter IV is a lot uglier than I remembered it being.
- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
I mean to be fair, Sakura didn't graduate not long before the events SFV. And from supplemental material (albeit probably non-canon), she wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed in school.
Still I find it commendable and a breath of fresh air that most of the characters got new designs in SFV.
having different art styles doesnt change the fact that MK is doing a hell of a lot more with its rendering
You need your eyes checked.
Edit : Saw in later posts that you were joking
It means you getting old, it's the same as the word "drip" to describe something good.
I already knew I'm getting old, but was just wondering when it started gaining popularity.
I've never heard "drips." You say that something "drips?" "That song drips?" Huh.
Looks pretty good for an 11 year old game outside of the cramped UI built to compensate for overscan.
V looks way better but the less polished bits really bother me.

SF4 was a tragic step down from the style and presentation of both the 3 and Alpha series. They made Ryu and Ken into gorillas, Chun-Li had some grotesque crab claw hand until they changed it, everyone has some sinewy gross look to their flesh, Rose has a square chin, and the music sucks. It can look alright in stills, but once the stilted animations come to play it's pretty bad. When people were saying that SF5 looked like SF4 you could tell that they either didn't play much of 4, or didn't look at much of 5.
And just look at Cody's bare arms. LOOK AT IT
what the FUCK
SF4 was a game I knew looked ugly at the time, this wasn't some realization I came to in retrospect, but SF5 is one that I actually think looks pretty nice for the most part, especially in animations (cue a comparison to Ryu's SF4 sweep to his SF5 sweep). It's the best Street Fighter's ever looked polygonally.

They did my girl Cammy wrong in 4.
Compared to this excellence in 5.
The animations in SFV will never not impress me.
Yeah, no. SFV STILL has the best looking 3D animations in a fighting game and it's almost 4 years old now.
There are nice graphical touches to both 4 and 5, but they're both visually inconsistent in ways that won't make them age well. Cap's best looking fighter in recent memory is MvC3.
That's not Tatsunoko v Capcom.
I thought SF4 looked pretty decent at the time of release, all things considered. It could've easily been much worse as seen by the beta pictures/videos. I guess there wasn't much to compare it to in the 2.5D space, rr maybe I was just excited to get a new Street Fighter.
It has aged like moldy cheese though.
lol

I know gamers are easily fooled by presentation, but it always baffles me how people find SFV good looking. Everything looks plastic in that game.
Nah, it looks like clay. UMVC3 is the one that looks like plastic.
I am kind of fond of the style, but I always found it to be weirdly experimental and too chunky. Those CG cinematics were some of the coolest I have ever seen.
That said! I am a huge, huge fan of how Street Fighter V looks outside of the hair. The colors in that game seriously just pop in a way I have never seen in other games, I love how psycho power glow looks especially.

I meant these kind of aesthetics with a modern engine/toon shading. Kind of like how DBFZ was the perfect 3D incarnation of the animated series.I thought SF4 looked pretty decent at the time of release, all things considered.

Capcom had some really nice CGI models that they used for SFIV and SFxT promo materials. Shame a lot of the in-game models couldn't capture the same feel.
Ryu and Ken actually look Ryu and Ken here.
Disagree. It's fine to look at. The color palette goes a long way. It's nice and varied. It also looks a lot better in motion than screenshots.
Those Udon-tier asthetics are hideous.
In what universe do those two ugly-ass sprites look better than the character designs in SFV?

Yeah, 5 really does look good. Still wish it looked more 'anime', but you can't deny that they knocked it out of the park with those characters and animations.
Both 4 and 5 are among the ugliest AAA games I can think of. I hope they at least change the art style for next SF game.
I wouldn't mind seeing a more anime approach, as long as it still looks like a SF game. Basically I don't think Ken should look like Ky from the Guilty Gear games. The only thing I want them to stay away from is realistic faces and proportions. It doesn't fit the series and IMO it makes doing superhuman stuff really weird and goofy which you see in other games.
No, silly. I cant help that Capcom went for an art style and direction that's just not a looker. I very much hope they go in another direction.
I legitimately can't believe that there are people that think there isn't a very significant difference between 4 and 5. Just... wow.
probably the same people that can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps
Some just don't know what they're talking about, dismiss them.
I think most games from that era are starting to look really ugly. SFIV seemed fine when it came out but not anymore.
and for that matter
Tekken 7 is a great game, but its visuals are terribly overrated.
All of those screens look ugly as shit to me. I guess aesthetics is very subjective.Those Udon-tier asthetics are hideous.

Yep, 100%.
SFV in particular is cringe worthy. Have you seen Ken's face?
SFV is just SF4 with more shadows.
