The blue stickers lol. I think he looks okay, not terrible. I do prefer his Smash look a bit more like some others here.

I do not get the SFV Ken "hate"
- Thread starter Kishido
- Start date
I don't get the hate either. Capcom is just continuing the tradition of making Ken ugly in every single game he appears in.
*posts that one artwork from SF3*
YOU TAKE THAT BACK, KEN IS A SEXY MOTHERFUCKER.
"With advancements in technology we are able to achieve our artistic vision."
Legit thought this was a joke post.He looks terrible.
He looks better in Smash Bros imo.
Like, what's wrong with this face or design exactly?
IMO most of Ken's problems are due to poor facial animation (outside of gameplay) and the poses chosen for the character select screen and his intro cut-scene. Well and the hair obviously, although it kinda looks fine to me from gameplay angles. I think his facial rigging is kinda busted in general.
But both the character model and his design are solid...outside of the technical issues I mentioned. Too bad Capcom isn't interested in fixing this guy. Just replacing his stupid-ass CSS pose would do a lot.
Someone over-inflated that Ken balloon. What is even happening around his elbows?
I think that the main, very glaring problem with modern Street Fighter in general is that they've not been able to completely translate the series' core aestethic to 3d, and that they're still failing to find a good looking artstyle fitting the graphic engine they're using.
Like, from SFIV on they tried really hard to capture that original SFII style, the over-the-top bulky bodies, the giant hands and feets, the comic book-esque faces, but honestly, some of that stuff just looks freaking horrifying outside of 2d sprites, even though they tried to stylize the game with some kind of color shading.
SFV surely improved on that front, it's not ugly overall, but it's still kind of an inconsistent looking game, there's some beautiful stuff like the amazing animations, a bunch of amazingly modelled stages and characters, but also a lot of questionable and not so good ones.
Overall, they should really, really tone down all that freaking goofiness and grotesqueness, because the new games have lost a lot of the charm and coolness of the original series.

Ken looks like he does Botox or has had plastic surgery now, which goes against his character and story arc.
Lmao!!!I don't think he looks as bad as folks make it sound (in-game he looks perfectly fine), but this is still hilarious
It's just the face and hair OP
You're not the only one
Don't bother, he brings this up every time SFV Ken's the topic (while conveniently ignoring that SF4 Ken was ugly af as well)

I mean he looks fine during gameplay (well, except for that one hairstyle. You know the one), but he seems to always look goofy in the character select screen for sure.
This is always funny Every time it gets me
lmao

FIFY,
But really I came here for this. Glad to see it early on.
I'm glad Ken decided to stop copying Ryu and to start taking fashion tips from the superior main character of a fighting game franchise, Ryo Sakazaki.
He does not look like Ken. Obviously he has gone through many revisions but he always had a certain look to him that is nothing like he looks in SFV. Obviously he looks terrible in SFIV but so does damn near everyone. In SFV there are some really fantastic character models and his face just doesn't match the quality of others.
