I like her twin braids though.Her design never really made since other than being a relic fro the 80s and early 90s.
I much prefer her Fiona costume

Lets be real: her design is pure cheesecake. Its primary existence is to titillate.What the fuck does being liberal have to do with wanting Cammy's design to stay the same? Like brah.

Her design is a hallmark of the boys' club mentality of gaming. Think about how a woman would feel about her: she's supposed to be a talented fighter but dresses like a stripper. It's just off-putting and contributes to this idea of gaming being a men-only space where women exist to be sexualized. I think there should be a redesign, something that stays true to the actual character without giving in to this desire to give dudes more characters to lust over.
I'm not against a redesign. But frankly I'm still sitting on this line that I don't think her original design isn't allowed to exist. I think this is honestly more or less an overreaction. Being angry at people liking a sexy design and insinuating that they're not liberal is where I focused on your post. That is insanely silly. You are being amazingly presumptuous.
Also bro, "stripper"? Really?
Damn you right, my dumbass straight up forgot about themDhalsim got a pretty big overhaul.
Charlie too, but hes not SF2 cast.
Bruh, come on.I'm not against a redesign. But frankly I'm still sitting on this line that I don't think her original design isn't allowed to exist.

This presents a stark and deeply depressing contrast to how women in fighting games have been treated. Not only do the women announced for Street Fighter V so far – Cammy, R. Mika, and Chun-Li – have all the same body types, they also are sexually objectified by the camera in a way that simply does not happen to the male characters. When Cammy performs her Special in Street Fighter V, her crotch is central during the slow-panning shot that happens in the middle of the move; this also happens to characters like Ken, but the difference is that Ken is wearing baggy pants, in contrast to Cammy's thong leotard, so the outline of his genitals cannot be clearly seen. It's not only that the women are wearing small outfits; it's that the camera lingers on their backsides and cleavage during the slow-motion sequences of their intros, outros, and special attacks. The result is that the fandom is encouraged to comment about R. Mika's looks (refer to the YouTube comments on her announcement video for examples). The game humanizes her by giving her funny lines and cool moves, but the camera dehumanizes her at every turn.
So, I hope I've made it clear that I'm not against the idea of "sexiness." But "sexual objectification" – the way that the camera treats Cammy and R. Mika – well, that I just can't abide. The presentation of their bodies as sexual objects that lack agency makes me feel uncomfortable. Looking at an image of boobs, without contextualizing them as belonging to a consenting person, or even contextualizing them as part of a human body doing regular human stuff (e.g. breastfeeding), can lead people to develop internalized body image issues, not to mention that it can lead to an inability to enjoy sex. It's not "empowering" to present bodies in this fashion – it's the opposite of empowering, because it removes agency from the person to whom those body parts are attached.
Not sure how a butt from a character that is basically pop culture only appeals to white people, and straight and male is the same thing for the sake of this argument which implies no women could possibly be a cammy fan which is not the case. Maybe from a purely liberal view, but I don't believe this forum has taken a hard take like that since its inception and yet it is miles better than the ashes from which it rose from with inclusion and moderation.ResetERA: We're the most liberal gaming forum on the Web.
Also ResetERA: Cammy's ass is her most defining feature. Also, women enjoy showing their ass, ever thought of that?
Y'all fucking suck. No wonder anyone not straight, white, and male is driven away.
See, the thing is it isn't just this thread.Not sure how a butt from a character that is basically pop culture only appeals to white people, and straight and male is the same thing for the sake of this argument which implies no women could possibly be a cammy fan which is not the case. Maybe from a purely liberal view, but I don't believe this forum has taken a hard take like that since its inception and yet it is miles better than the ashes from which it rose from with inclusion and moderation.
Bruh, come on.
I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of this forum's status with nonsense like this. The fact people are literally spewing nonsense like "Oh, I think her ass is iconic" and "Uh actually, modern millenial women LOVE to show their ass" is such shallow garbage. If you like her ass, be honest about it and just say it.
And even if you do like her for her ass, if you can't see how casually misogynistic it is that the most iconic part of a character is her assets, then you've got to develop some more awareness. Her outfit exists for her to be leered over, like a piece of meat. She's a character designed by dudes for dudes to get horny over.
Again, if the only reason you like a character is because she is designed in a way to make you horny, then the character design is misogynistic. If the only reason for not wanting things to change is because of worry that pp might be soft at the new design, it's a shitty reason.Jesus Christ, dude. First you say its okay for people to be honest its about a sexy design then follow it up that its misogynistic. You've basically put people in a position where they have to say they like it BUT to defend their preference. I just don't agree with you and I don't think you're going to convince me otherwise. Why even have a discussion if that's the conclusion?
if you're against change in both aspects maybe present something other than caveman lust as your reasoning.
they kinda do already.There's nothing wrong with gratuitously sexy characters as long as they do some men that way, too. Will they? That's another question.
Why are people acting like if she has a different default outfit her ass vanishes?
This is the EXACT mod I use hahaI hope they change it, it's quite boring. I personally really like this modded outfit, it's the outfit she has from Final fight Street wise and fits her well.

They did put it up for a vote.
Great. Also give Laura a t-shirt for god sakeI hope they change it, it's quite boring. I personally really like this modded outfit, it's the outfit she has from Final fight Street wise and fits her well.
How about a modern compromise: new look for her default outfit, old outfit as a Nostalgia skin?
Look...I love Street Fighter. Love it. But as it stands, it's hard to play the game around my wife and daughter due to the ridiculous t&a shots. (Cammy and Laura at the top of that list)
When MK11 is being more respectful of its female characters than Street Fighter, it's become a problem...
She's easily one of the best and most versatile fighters though. Links for days.
To be fair, the original one here isn't nearly as bad as what we got in the 3D games. The improvement is only as drastic as it is because the same people made it complete shit first. MK2 to MK11 is also an improvement, but not as wild as looking at some of the 3D stuff, especially 9, which isn't that old.MK really gets a 'most improved' award in design. It's incredible
Hahahahaha, yeah, I loved Hot Ryu. Even a change as light as "no shirt, beard" would be enough for me. I do agree that they can't change Ryu THAT much.Reasonably speaking, Ryu's clothes should get rattier and more torn up with every game, as we all know that murder hobo doesn't take care of his kit.
Like "Hot Ryu" was the most sensible change in the world because of fucking course Ryu doesn't shave. He doesn't even wear shoes!

This is so fucking SICK! I love the baggyness of the pants.I hope they change it, it's quite boring. I personally really like this modded outfit, it's the outfit she has from Final fight Street wise and fits her well.
Always odd to see how much seemingly smug pride some men take in letting people know how little they care about things like this.
