If a man butt slaps himself, it's provocation. If a woman does it, she's a hoe especially if she's wearing sexually suggestive clothing.

For Laura, I don't see any vagina, the author must be high or something. It's just a crotch shot, everyone has a crotch. No one's going to focus on her crotch while playing under pressure on a predominantly 2.5D fighter. Zangief has been wearing worse. Why no outrage.

Kalebninja2963d ago

If Mika had normal pants, or at least zangief type shorts, on I honestly wouldn't have complained, but what made it worse was that she has her butt out, If there was a male character with her same exposure I would've complained as well, and I'm pretty sure Zangeif hasn't worn worse.

StifflerK2963d ago

Going off default costumes,

Urien says "hi", or from that pose probably "heeeeeeeyyyy", lol

All those fantasy rpg games with buff dudes in loincloths, literally every major wrestling game of muscle dudes in swim shorts ... and no one complains.
Why?

Kalebninja2963d ago

Well all I can say is I follow none of those games, I dont speak for anyone else so I don't see why you're ask me.

remixx1162963d ago

But you do follow street fighter so why isn't zangief or urien's bulging muscles and outfits, or lack thereof, and issue for you??

some people believe God hate sexy pictures.

Avernus2963d ago

@ Kalebninja, that's called hypocrisy :)

You have NO problem with Gief's outfit, bulging muscles everywhere and only wearing a speedo, but you have a problem with Mika, and yes, the glutes ARE muscles.

Josuey2963d ago

Urien is a buff RIPPED dude wearing a thong and he rips his clothes out to remain in his thong in his battle intro so why must this be an issue? ohh and lets not forget URien is CONFIRMED for SFV. So if you complain about laura it would be very hipocritical to not complain about urien when he comes out on SFV. All this feminist SJW agendas need to stay out of gaming

@ Kalebninja
Your life must be full of excitement.
But I will be the bigger person, you're free to complain about anything, even if you want to censor what other people see. Because simply closing your eyes is clearly off the book for you.

But here's an interesting thought,if you feel a game is too inappropriate for you, don't play it.

@Josuey This is so far left it circled around to far right lol

Kalebninja2963d ago (Edited 2963d ago )

@Dee_91 Or I can complain, get it changed, and enjoy it just like people have always done. I'd like to know why or even how your being "the bigger person here"? I don't know where you grew up or how you were raised but I can't imagine people encouraged you to close your eyes, turn your head, or ignore something that got under your skin, it's easy for someone to say that to a person with an opposing opinion but god forbid i say that to you, because I'm "taking" from you. Mind you, for the "bigger person" you're being you just insulted me with your sarcastic comment.

Dee_912963d ago (Edited 2963d ago )

@Kalebninja
Yes, the sarcasm was the point, I wasn't being the bigger person lol
Your entire comment screams, narcissistic sociopath. Ignoring things that get under my skin is pretty much what I was taught. I can't govern people.

"I can complain, get it changed, and enjoy it just like people have always done."

Obviously you can, never said you couldn't. A murderer can also kill people. I just encourage the person not to for the simple fact that it sort of inconvenience people, or the person who is getting killed.
You're fundamentally flawed friend. Reboot your computer and enable human conscience.

Also, reply to the other comments. Face your hypocrisy. Every article like this, you say some off the wall crap then go into hiding.For the record, this isn't about opinion vs opinion. It went beyond that when "opinions" like yours affects other people. So miss me with the "its just my opinion" bs

Kalebninja2963d ago

@Dee_91 You just compared me to a murderer, nice. I don't go hiding, sometimes I get too many responses and I dont feel the need to go through every single one and respond and defend myself, I mean even with that I'm already almost out of bubbles here.

Dee_912962d ago (Edited 2962d ago )

Right, well then, can't wait to see your excuse for not replying to rebuttals when they remove the bubble system.
This is like a sitcom
" If there was a male character with her same exposure I would've complained as well,"

"Urien says "hi", or from that pose probably "heeeeeeeyyyy", lol "
(picture of male character in same game pretty much naked)

"Well all I can say is I follow none of those games,"

Next time on Kalebninja says the darndest things.
"Stop! Its just my opinion bro!"

CarlosX3602962d ago

This whole controversy is annoying. Capcom shouldn't have to remove the spank. This latest controversy is even dumber. Yeah, the vagina "looks" like it's showing, but it's not that big a freakin' deal!

It's not showing the pink hole. I don't think it's that noticeable. People today just love to complain.

Whatever, complain away.

bouzebbal2962d ago

people love to make big deal out of nothing...
those morons talking shit about this game are people who didn't even buy it.
he went on neogaf to see pictures and makes an article from that neogaf post.. pathetic.
what a sad life you guys have...

Kalebninja2962d ago (Edited 2962d ago )

@Dee_91 If I don't follow those games how am I going to complain about their content? You don't even make fucking sense. You're only making yourself look foolish. And like I said its not just about the bubbles, why would I feel the need to constantly read aggressive and insulting responses from a bunch of pricks just because they expect me to?

Chexs19902962d ago

Senran kagura for the win! Uh, and you should try out DoaX3 as well, they're fun games ^^
On a serious note though dude, the Western PC hype is getting sickening and i think it's wrong for people to force Artists to censor themselves :O

Jebus, we must save the children

rainslacker2963d ago

Children don't really care because they don't really see it as sexual. Child by nature hasn't progressed enough to understand sexual context, because children are not sexual...and if they are, it's not because of what's in a game.

If people thought of the children, they'd realize how stupid their arguments are.

Hope that helps ease your mind.:)

rdgneoz32963d ago

Yes, all them children playing violent games. We must save them! ...

thorstein2963d ago

She's a garden tool? What?

I agree with you about the vagina. It simply isn't there. It is just more repressive ideals than anything else.

bondsmx2963d ago

Side vagina? Wtf, is the OP like 13? For reals. "Omg, girly parts"

Deadpooled2962d ago

His/her mental age group would still call them 'cooties'

garrettbobbyferguson2963d ago

"See any vagina"

Because that's called her thigh. Last I checked women do not have their vaginas on their thighs.

NewZealander2963d ago

There is definitely a bit of lip hanging out, it's clear as day

joab7772962d ago (Edited 2962d ago )

This entire week has been idiotic. It's bored people who have nothing better to do and like feeling morally superior by telling us how things should be.

Are you kidding me? I go to the beach and see wayyy more revealing swimwear on people I've never met. They don't wear it just to be comfortable. They like how they look, it makes them feel good about themselves. And go to any bar on any weekend and you will see shit much crazier than a button slap.

And in case everyone missed the last, I dunno, since the dawn of time, sex is in. People seem to like it.

Morgue2962d ago

How long has the SF series had their female characters dressed in sleazy/revealing outfits? Probably before the women or men who are complaining about them now were even born. I know I'll get disagrees for saying this and I honestly don't care but if people can't realize what's going on here, not just in the video game industry but in the U.S. or society as a whole then you're blind.

Video games for me have always been an " escape " not from reality but a way to not think about what's going on in the world and have some enjoyment. Yet slowly over the years, more so now than ever the industry has been injecting social, religious and political ideals ( it always has, same with movies ) into games and in turn creating social outcry when it comes subjects about how women are portrayed and so on. ( Social Experiments )

There is way more sinister things going on in the world than a polygon vag shot or some chicks butt pose but if that's what people want too dwell on then go ahead.

zen_hydra2962d ago

The whole argument is ridiculous and anatomically improbable. The vagina is an internal organ. A female's external genitalia are collectively known in English as the vulva. Extremely provocatively cut shorts/undergarments may reveal some sort of side exposure of vulva, but unless the character has been sliced in half down the middle (bilaterally), you aren't likely to see any side-vag.

PC/SJW-agenda.

They don't know about the ins and outs and mechanics of 3D graphics. This is nothing more than today's shortcoming around 3D modelled clothes.

DivineAssault 2963d ago

Give it up already! What a bunch of sissies.. The game is rated T for TEEN! I was already in my groove with women when i was a teen and experimented with them before that so whats the deal? People think sexuality is taboo or something, its human nature.. I swear SJW's and anyone else who listens to garbage like this is a damn fool if they think its in any way going to harm anyone..

Junior45652963d ago

I think changes made during a beta is ok. The butt slap and whatever was probably to do more with cinematic and wanted to show the character face more in the introduction(thats just me assuming) It's obvious capcom don't have a problem with sexy outfits or women and it feels like the gamers are just starting flame wars out of nowhere out of fear of a witch hunt that might happen?

That's why Laura still is sexy and Chun-Li have that sexy costume so why is there so many articles asking "Why can they be sexy but not the butt slap?" It probably isn't even censorship. But the more people fight over this the more developers are just going to avoid the whole issue. I think it was a creative change more than anything else.

I mean is there any evidence of people complaining about R-Mika before the slap was removed? I mean I know some feminists and how other girls appear in video games is the least of their own issues. There is Anita but she's not calling for a ban of video games and she was just talking about "tropes" she sees which is an opinion and when the attacks happened it elevated her opinion in importance.

This whole thing reminds me of the 90's when gamers would worry about violent games getting censored and before anything happened more articles popped up about the coming end to expression. These apocalypse seekers need to chill.

DivineAssault 2963d ago

Mika's critical art was changed too.. I dont know why but they felt the need to remove the leg splitter after the crashing drop.. Cammy's intro was changed and the bouncing boobs were changed.. If some needed to be done to keep it T rated, fine but the leg split? That just made it look more painful.

XtraTrstrL2963d ago

Been talkin' about Capcom's indecisiveness on this for a bit. That's the main point too, they take out Mika's CA split, and the camera view of her buttslap although it's her personality to be like that. Then they give Laura a personality that really doesn't fit for her background as a top respected Brazilian Jui Jitsu family member, and give her crazy oversexualized alts. They're chickens with their heads cut off on the whole thing.

Street Fighter 5: Analysing a Tarnished Legacy

Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.

Terry_B131d ago

Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.

SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.

SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.

kevco33130d ago

I've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.

SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.

Terry_B130d ago

Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.

So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.

Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.

Sano24130d ago

SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.

Terry_B130d ago

Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.

Nerdmaster129d ago

It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about it.

EvertonFC130d ago

I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.

CrimsonWing69130d ago

I dunno, I like Street Fighter 5 quite a bit. 🤷‍♂️

Sf6 is the best sf since sf4ae lol
