seriously. not to mention it's basically just preemptive protection against any potential outrage they don't want to deal with. it's just a smart move all around.
i don't see an issue with that. i just take issue in the general consultation process capcom is running just to strongly americanize their video games.
asking a black person if a black character is good? no problems but when it comes down to the entire design philosophy then it's very clear there is 0 vision behind the project and it just runs with the premise of >let's just make a popular video game
They didn't need to ask anyone about Elena or Balrog and it was fine. You are kidding yourself if you don't think this was due to the current political climate and Black person worship culture of the west.
>Make black character >She's a racist caricature >Lefties get mad about it >"Actually this character of conceptualized and approved by a high specialized committee of six Black artists and designers in a think tank with zero input from non-Black voices and they democratically voted on the inclusion of every component of the character." >Oh wow stunning and brave so powerful amazing she's so beautiful and I love her now easily the best new character ever put in a street fighter game the new queen of the streets out with old busted Chun-Li and in with fresh new Kimber-Li #BlackExtraLivesMatter #KweenofFGC #SupportBlackVoices #RealhomiesOwnAnimeFightSticks
>literally turned blanka into a gorilla
creativity runs low in capcom these days
nucapcom design. they are basically a western company by now and consult americans (i shit you not, look it up) for certain design/writing choices.
You can see the effect on the new RE's and Devil May Cry 5. Everyone looks significantly worse for the sake of realism, american grit and killing off any connections to the over-the-top japanese action.
and yet Dante/Vergil look closer to my uncles than their past appearances. and people literally mistook Nero for Donte the first time they saw him (you don't have to believe me, reaction videos are all ready to watch on youtube)
Anon, the last game was DmC, forgive us for thinking Capcom fricked us again with a sequel to it for 5 seconds until they showed DMC 5 and the red queen
A mix of facescan technology and Capcom jumping on the “we need to hire models and VAs that match the real world ethnicity of the character” bandwagon. So now Blanka’s based on an actual Brazilian.
why are the design so ugly?
to match the playerbase
wha- i- you- AIIIIEEEEEEEEEE

No seriously, explain why? Like, I must be missing something.

It's not about it being cool enough, it's about it being politically correct
It's not about "cool" it's about being as safe and bland as possible to not offend the perpetually offended professional victims.
They didn't need to ask anyone about Elena or Balrog and it was fine. You are kidding yourself if you don't think this was due to the current political climate and Black person worship culture of the west.
so it makes it ok then that she looks like a racist caricature

the dudes in devil may cry are literal giga chads with perfect jaws and strong bodies compared to the women who look hideous and ugly.

Yea i'm aware. But the design still has to be similar to a degree for this to even happen
That was the entire point of his design.
>we made our games ugly on purpose
thank you but no thank you
>year 4 of the useless crusade against DMC trying to say the game is ugly
>one is a clearly aged old hag
>one of them is a disgusting prostiute
stop it already. how are you a DMC fan AND love this?
DMC5 Lady is super fricking hot, you're just a gay
>DMC5 Lady
She looks like Ezra Miller
>giga chad Ken
Hands down best look for him since 3S
What happened to my boy Blanca? He used to have SOVL.
