      The thing is: you can see on Artstation that different 3D modeling studios had contracts to create the different characters and costumes. So basically that's not the same guys who did the characters of this game.

    I'm kinda sad you never actually gave Dhalsim a segment there, because in my mind he absolutely wins "Most Improved Animation" for any Street Fighter character. Like, for a man made of rubber Dhalsim's animations in past Street Fighter games were stiff as all hell, but in SF5 he's going absolutely bananas with the stretching and I love it. Plus he just looks better with a beard, in my opinion... hell, a side-by-side of the character before and after would have made all the point you'd need!

    • @ProjectH1980
      @ProjectH1980 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      No kidding. As a Kolin main she is definitely a Great Character design, both visually and animation wise. Her walking animations, her counters, Hail attacks, Air throw, Vanity steps and her Absolute Zero V-Trigger, displays a character that is both grounded and combat oriented blended with the style and grace of an olympic figure skater.
      Shocking thing is Max clearly forgot that Kolin was the only character that i know of that had a facial redesign that improved on her Story Mode model significantly.
      Since he likes to complain about Ken so much, as he should, yet Kolin is proof that Ken remaining like that was a Capcom choice that remained unchanged.
      The only weird thing about Kolin, that is a visual design feature shared across all characters in SF is her unusually large feet and hands that make her look strange in her swimsuit costume.
      Most SF Women are muscular but Kolin's Physique though more appealing than say Falk is still strange compared to Juri, Chun, Cammy and Mika. Her Nostalgia and Sporty Costumes showcase her thick muscular legs perfectly but as soon as you see her arms uncovered there is a slight disproportion in her torso and arms.
      I guess Max doesn't dig Russian Girls, well his loss.

    I think with Ken, the emphasis on his kicks means they've oriented his design around his legs, so they've given large, baggier trousers, while also giving him longer legs and a shorter torso. Also, with his arms up, it makes him look hunched over so it just makes the whole body look a little disproportionate. Also, god damn do I love the Juri design..

    Given how SF's always been a definite semi-realistic anime aesthetic, not sure why they went with mocap instead of animating by hand using reference. It definitely worked for their 2D stuff, and it works for Arc System Works; hope they consider it for SF6.

    • @kevingriffith6011
      @kevingriffith6011 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I think augmented motion capture can look fine (It's the technique they use for most of the cast for SF5 and it looks great on a lot of them), but hiccups happen, especially when characters don't really do anything dramatic to give the animator something to tear into... like most of the characters that have issues being "mocappy" are ones that don't really have out-there fighting styles, crazy moves or over-the-top personalities.

    • @RrowdyBeast
      @RrowdyBeast 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@kevingriffith6011 I do agree, think it can look solid, but feel that it fits more for games like Tekken where it's a little more grounded in hand-to-hand combat, not flipping in the air throwing fireballs. SF, all 2D fighters, rely on frame data, so sometimes even toning down animation might benefit for the flow of the animation and even readability; it's part of why Max keeps mentioning some things even seemingly looking better in SF4
      It's like, you sorta see it where they got more used to using it with Cody and his extra flourishes, Dan's got it going on, even Akira in the preview trailer looks like she's sorta swinging wild after she attacks, giving them all this limbs-akimbo feel instead of it looking like controlled movements or reactions. Dan benefits the most because he's comedic in nature, but Cody and Akira, Sakura, not-so-much
      Not saying the animation's bad, not at all. But~ feel like they're just using the mocap because it's available from Monster Hunter and Resident Evil production and they're relying on it a little too much. Not saying that they have to go that route, but I do think that what ASW is doing with their fighters is a good reference point for theory on how to pull off frame animation for a 2D fighter in a 3D format. Not to a T, don't even need to do the cel-shader route (though if they did on par with SF3 or CvSNK in 3D, holy shhh-IT boi), but take notes here and there because man it just feels right with what ASW is pulling off

Arcsys are knocking it out of the park, for sure, but I don't think SF5 is slacking off in the animation department, unless you count their hair and the faces of the season 1 characters.

      Liker, it doesn't look bad at all, even some of the rougher executions at the least and get the point across well enough. Just feel like it could lean more to the keyframing with strong reference, or even aid from the mocap, but not relying on it as much as they currently seem to be and stylizing it to give less of an uncanny valley effect and more of a visual impact that rivals the likes of their later/CPS-3-based 2D fighters
      It's all good, I agree with you in that it can be a valuable tool, but, even though I feel like an ass saying it, hopefully SFV was more of a learning experience than a cementing of technique for future entries. It's getting there, but just not quite feeling it personally

I would love to see him return as the head of shadaloo now without Bison a crumbling shell of its former self making him a king of nothing, trying to rebuild the organisation back up.
    There is just so much potential I feel is overlooked by most, and due to his lack of popularity will most likely get snuffed in the next games roster. The pain of maining weird, less serious characters like Duck King in FF/ KoF.

    This is what I have been feeling for a while now. Every character from launch to Season 1 feels cohesive in terms of modeling, and Season 2 onward makes the characters look like they are from a different game. It's a lot like how the female DLC characters in Tekken 7 have more unique-looking faces compared to Alisa, Asuka, Xiaoyu where they look like dolls.
    Even the later characters of Street Fighter 4 in terms of modeling felt somewhat consistent to the vanilla cast but with their own slight differences. Also Seeing SF5 Ryu's chunky body next to say Lucia or Dan is kind of Jarring in a way and is why I do not like most of the roster altogether in terms of aesthetics and proportions. (But I still like all the newcomer designs a lot except Falke and maybe Ed).
    I feel like Capcom was trying to make the models following the guidelines they have set ever since Street Fighter 2 (big hands and feet) but they should have made the characters more like how the Season 5 characters are in terms of proportions.

    Kolin is super overlooked, I think her design and moves are outstanding.

    Awh, I really like Akuma's mane. Makes him appear more beastly and intimidating, which I love.

    I think Necalli was based on Wolverine from the Marvel games, look at his move set.

    i disagree i think abigail and fang are insanely well animated and perfectly reflect the characters personality without even knowing their backstory.

      I agree with fang but Abigail is hideous. I get that he’s supposed to be but I hate looking at him

    It’s crazy how season 3 could’ve potentially been one of the best visually looking seasons. Sakura and Cody look off and move weird but have arguably the best redesigns in the game. Then you have great looking characters like G and Sagat that put so much work into them. And finally Blanka looking great and Falke just has so many questions, they really could’ve done so much.
