Been really enjoying these Fighting Games videos. Would love to see you do Tekken next. They have some really great japanese streetwear outfits. I particularly love Azucena's Gold Jacket outfit from Tekken 8.
Amazing - thank you so much! You FGC folks are coming through, bless 🙌🏽 I'll obviously be doing Tekken. Most fighting games are on the table for review, so long as the outfits aren't terrible. I'll keep an eye out for that gold jacket 😎✨️
X, I just want to give you your flowers. This is not only a unique way of taking a look at fighting games, but also clashing fashion. I’m a nerd who makes hip-hop music but also play video games and took a lot of my inspiration from fashion from video games to anime to cartoons. You’re giving a reason for people to not question these mediums and understand that there are fashionable choices.. keep up the good
I was so glad to see you touch on every one of AKI's outfits! I already liked her, but when Outfit #3 came out, she demanded everyone's full attention- so cool!
Marisa is my main. Every outfit is amazing. And gaod damn it's fu to play. Whatever outfit you pick it feel like her strange alone could move the wedding dress witjout any cinstraights. And yet doesn't tear.
Marisa is just a delight of a character concept and personality. I LOVE how the third costume uses palazzo pants in lieu of a true skirt, that too feels like a nice detail, and in other colors goes from wedding dress to battle goddess.
@@kayla8402 my favorite part is that NONE of it is played out as a joke. She is a big muscular woman and she will kick your ass. She dresses sharp, and works as a jewelry designer and that's it. No she-hulk shenanigans.
Manon is a ballet dancer, fashion model and judoka; so the 'sweater' is actually a gi! Love this content! So nice to put a spotlight on such an important but underappreciated part of the character design and art. I agree with another comment: very curious about your take on Tekken characters as well!
I've been in the fighting game community for over a decade now and this is one of the most unique ways I've seen someone talking about fighting games. Would love to see you talk about Tekken's character designs (or more street fighter alt costumes!) Can't wait to see more vids!
Love your work, your videos help me so much when creating my own fashion designs for character projects and I especially love that you featured Edge from Rival Schools (top row, far left) in the Shadaloo CRI section
Aaahhh! Oh damn - thank you for the incredible contribution. Gotta save a shout out for a special video - definitely won't forget. So glad you're gaining value from the content 😄🙌🏽
I love this kind of analysis on fighting games. Fighting games have such a rich history of street designs, unique fashion, diversity, and just way over the top designs that I feel like people ignore how cool the fashion is a lot of the time. One of my favorites in recent memory is Reina from Tekken 8
The algorithm is working. Love the video and hope to see more. Keep up the good work. I loved poison's alternates her all business dress and halloween one were my favorites.
love the reaction for eternity. as an fgc player and poc, seeing eternity made me glow with joy booting the game up for the first time. keep that energy!!!
Great video mate. If you want to continue talking fighting games, I will suggest "Skull Girls" if you want to give a smaller game a shot. It is beautifully hand drawn frame by frame, each character containing thousands of different animation frames. I think you will enjoy the designs.
I love your channel, man. So many gaming/nerd channels talk about the same old boring stuff, and you bring such a fresh perspective to nerdtube. Happy to be here at your beginning, because you are gonna blow up if you keep this output going.
I really like Terry’s look because he looks so much like just a guy from the 90s, but somehow 20% more fantastical. He’s larger than life but somehow you could totally imagine seeing him at a truck stop in Alabama. One foot in the real world and one foot in the game world. I don’t know if my rambling articulates what I’m getting at so I’ll leave it there, lol. 😂
Love to see new FGC content with a different perspective on design! We get a lot of videos on how cool or flashy moves look, but rarely do we get videos where someone really breaks the aesthetics down to the elements! Great videos!
As a anime and video game fan(especially fighting games & pokemon) I'm so happy to have found your channel! It's a unique way to interact with it that's why i find it so entertaining. Do your thang i love it. Theres a lack of the representation youre delivering in the scene so its just great. Btw i would also really enjoy if you would talk about outfits that you really disliked and why hahahah maybe as lil detour in the video or even a whole new video
This is astounding, subbed. Your outfit is so apropos for a SF video! You honestly look like you jumped right out of the game! I really appreciate your dive into the cultural impact of Street Fighter throughout the decades. Especially before talking about one of the most visually interesting aspects of SF's pop culture history. Thanks for the great content. Keep up the good work!
new here but i just KNEW you'd talk about all 3 Aki costumes IMO she and Kimberly are the only characters that all 3 outfits are top level even though Aki was weaker last season and Kimberly still struggles a bit in the meta, there's just no way i could ever give up on playing both of them as my main characters, they're so so so stylish and trust me, both their personalities and their gameplay identity absolutely reflect their fashion choices, best newcomers ever
About to binge the rest of yours series. A very refreshing take on video games/anime character designs. As for favorite outfits, to highlight two that weren't in this video: Cammy Outfit 3 (I'm a sucker for a coat, along with the shorts and croptop really highlights her vibes) and Juri outfit 3 (it's just so snug and really suits her playfulness).
Loved your thoughts on all the characters styles and agreed with so many opinions! One thing I didn't really pay attention to while playing SF6 is all the color coordination in the outfits. I never realized how much thought was put into all of that. Like, I knew they put in a ton of work but wow, I didn't even notice the more subtle details 😊😊😊 I feel like the character designers of this game knocked these out of the park! I really hope they get a lot of recognition for it.
Agreed - I can only imagine how much work goes into these VERY detailed designs - including the physics behind them. Now I understand why people love the franchise so much.
33:58 i just noticed that manon's wearing a martial arts black belt around her top which makes it double as a gi, a good detail for her judo background
Ooo filling a niche yas! Fighting games and games in general have awesome fashion designs that inspired my dressing. Glad ya covering this type of content.
I just want to say that these videos are super awesome! I love the energy! I love the way you are able to explain and articulate things because I know less than zero about fashion XD
I'm a fighting game player so that's why I found this vid. But honestly I'm subbing for the fashion takes and ideas. I've been working on upping my wardrobe and would love to see more fashion content.
It's striking how differently you approach characters' looks compared to most of the FGC. Your take on Ed really stood out because he was almost universally considered to be the weakest visual design in SFV. Seeing you have almost the exact opposite take on his SF6 redesign, really highlights how different the priorities distinct communities place on visual designs.
Eternity is really like you, you should bring us a cosplay. Not as many KO as expected should say. WHY CAMMY IS NOT A KO??!!!! Look that abs!!!! she deserve it! Manon alternative is a default KO, so cool. You should try to create a fighters rooster with AI, that could be a video BTW I want to thank you too, your content is soooo goood, I feel envy not being the first one using the super thanks. So here is my support
Aaayyeee - thank you so much for always providing thoughtful comments and supporting the channel! I appreciate you. Who knows, I might bring forward an Eternity outfit in the future, maybe for a special occasion 💜 Love Cammy's style - but abs alone aren't enough for a KO, for me at least 😏 and AI SF outfits would be such a fun video - there's so much room to imagine, and hopefully inspire others to get creative as well!
Eternity is snatched for the Gods up and down the block and back. Hair is a 10, eyeliner a 10, the choker? 10. AND I would do illegal things for that jacket and shorts combo. Even accessorized that mic with a bow! Honestly, one of the funnest Street Fighter designs in the series, they really had a good time designing Eternity.
The hours I’ve spent going through the shadowloo CRI - I’m a sucker for reimagined classic characters, and almost every street fighter character you can think of is there, even ones from the EX games and crossovers like Ingrid and Ruby Heart! So glad you gave it a shoutout!
The Shadaloo CRI was one of the best things during the Street Fighter 5 years Seeing all characters who had appeared in SF in a new artstyle or outfit And not only playable characters but background/side/NPCs also appear It was good to see characters from Final Fight, the EX series, SF The Movie The Game and even from the cancelled Capcom Fighting All Stars! Too bad they didn't make new artworks for the Slam Masters cast 😔 I guess it is because those characters are owned by Tetsuo Hara, the mangaka who made Hokuto no Ken, who designed those characters by petition of Capcom At least the Slam Masters cast were mentioned in many of the profiles of other characters For example, the profile of R. Mika's coach (Yoko) mentions that she fought against Black Widow and lost. Birdie's profile when he was younger mentions that he used to be a tag team with Titanic Tim And then there is Blade's profile, whose height, weight and likes are the same as Gunloc's 👀
I really like the redesigns for the Bison/Shadaloo Troopers (Blade, Arkane, Khyber, F7), from Street Fighter The Movie The Game (arcade version), in the Shadaloo CRI! Those cyborgs went from pallete swaps to actually look cool and unique now! Blade's redesign being my favorite. And hey! The Shadaloo Troopers later appeared in TEPPEN, having their redesigns Glad to see obscure characters returning in some way Hope we see Blade in a new fighting game.
I adore how much your videos rekindled my love of these guys. Like I've played the games since i was a kid so the classic designs are hypernormalized to me and even the newer modern takes have been around for a year. Always good to revitalize.
Wow I didn't expect to see Eternity here, the first time I saw him on a trailer I also thought he looked fabulous, I play a game called Dislyte that have lots of interesting kind of designs, I think you will like some of them, keep up the good work, much love to you.
Saw this in my recommended after never seeing a vid of yours before, but as soon as I saw how you look I hoped you’d cover Eternity, glad you had such a warm reaction to him lol
i will now watch the newest videos from now out i see even more editing effort cant get enough, xdf content is now a staple of what i look for in youtube
New to your channel, I think your videos are so fun and I hope they make their way to some of the designers who work on the media you cover, because I bet they don't get a lot of people going so deep into their work.
Great analysis X! Happy you talked about Street Fighter and i really got some good looks on some of these outfits that you really can't graps that well when playing in full motion while fighting. Hope to maybe see a Tekken video in the future. That would be amazing!
So fun fact: we can't escape from Jojo, i can count atleast 3 characters who are heavely inspired by it: First up Guile, his flat top hair many people theorize comes from either Polnareff or Stroheim. Next there's Rose, in her case is Lisa Lisa, there's many elements like her clothing, the use of her scarf as a weapon, her stage being Italy( and one her Street Fighter 5 alternative outfits isn't subtle about it). Also she's Menat mentor. And last but not least Juri, a character who was created to be a "Dark Refelection of Chun-Li" is inspired by Jolene Cujoh. Funny enough, while Jolene has butterflies around her outfit( simbolising themes like hope and trabsformation) Juri has spiders
My man Fights! This is such a good video and I have zero interest in fashion as a goblin. Fighting games are for everyone. Glad to have you in the Fighting Game Community.
So, a fun little detail about design for fighting games characters. A lot of times they tend to have either a little accent color or leave the extermities of the limbs bare, and that has a very practical functional for the game And that is clarity for animation, the limbs are what you need tô focus on the game, só the hands and legs often have pieces of contrast be it shape or color. As always you do great work, i always learn a lot
So about G, for years Street Fighter wanted to make a "fighting president" as a playable character and he's the end result. He's.......weird, he has those golden marks around his upper body( that make the shape of all the continens), he has a top hat( that draws a conection to Abraham Lincoln) and he's battle outfit is a reference to another character from Street Fighter called Q ( they even share some moves, if they are related or the same person is up to debate).
I love Marisa design so much! And her outfit 2 and 3 rocks so hard! (know the focus is on the outfit style but I love all of her!) And yes just to have something to comment and give some engagement, she is actually italian! She holds dear to her greek ancestry in her visuals (a mix of current MMA with colissium gladiator vibes) and her fighting style (Pankration). The base hair not only remind a helmet, but she also wears a classic roman helmet made of pure gold on top of that! (oh yeah, she has a thing with gold and she herself is a jewelry designer too. Just wished those elements where a bit more present on the outfit 3). She is a power house, not only of muscles strenght, but also charisma and LOVE, lots of love for everybody!
My favorite SF characters are Chun-Li, Cammy, Ryu, The Lee brothers, Rose, Manon, Juri, Alex, Akuma, Rainbow Mika, and Sakura! I adore Manon's second outfit, Juri's SF5 design, Cammy's OG outfit, Chunny's SF6 design, and Rose's Ruby Heart Costume.
I don't like how SF characters generally look, I don't know what it really is. But I absolutely love some of the outfit designs like the classic Cammy one, Poison and Juri. What's funny is, that most of my male favorites weren't even in the video, like Akuma and Vega. And although it's such a basic design I just love Ryu :D Genrally I'm way more into the designs in Tekken, so I'm hoping we'll get a video on that in the future ^^ Also just subbed because I've seen so many of your vids and noticed I wasn't even subbed yet ^^
Fun thing about Cammy's SF6 outfit, the strips that dangle from her jacket are supposed to mimic her twin braids from her classic outfits now that she has short hair.
@@XDF No prob, Cammy is a very fast and acrobatic character so her braids trailing behind her has been apart of her visual identity since she hit the streets in the late 90s so they didn't want to lose that with her new cut.
I Love how much you love Eternity from a Fashion AND Character Standpoint! He's such a Lovable MC that really draws you in when he's on the screen (For me at least) Also, as a nerd who loves him some Fashion I feel super seen and Validated once again by Father X. Menat is easily one of my favorite Newcomers into SFV but, The fact that you like Chun-Li's SF6 Outfit has me over the moon. She's my One True Waifu, Loved her since I was 6 and I love love LOVE her new look. Its so freakin' good QuQ Thank you once again for the amazing video and I cant wait to see more~
Eternity was a character that I didn't know I needed! 🥰 And yes, Menat and Chun-Li are so chic, feminine and stylish. I would love to see more Menat in the future. 💜🔮 I appreciate the thoughtful comment.
@@XDF I would literally cry and sob for at least a full day if they ever announce Menat's return for SF6 before immediately hitting the lab! Also, Thank you so much for talking about Jamie as he's easily one of my favorite Guys in the entire Street Fighter series! I know it wasnt in the video but his Outfit 3 is easily my fave! There's something so bad-ass to me about fighting in something that looks mad uncomfortable to move around in but doing it so effortlessly while wearing those High-Tops! i'm Done. And FINALLY Capcom has recognized that not all Men need to be Hyper Muscular and Bulky.
Usually with fighting game characters, the costumes need to be functional and tie into their character as well as looking good. I really like Fang's sleeves not just because they're dramatic but also because they help him conceal his hands (functional) and that's because he's a tricky poison-wielding coward who relies on trickery to fight (character). I feel like the best designs are the ones that tie all three elements together.
Rose is the teacher. Menat is the apprentice. Rose is mature and serious. Menat is youthful and bubbly. I believe that's why Rose wears her traditional high heels, while Menat was given that flat sandal-like footwear (as well as being a further callback to her ethnic background).
I have yet to see anyone say anything bad about Menat. Have you seen her walking animation? Her animations + design are definitely a perfect double KO for me.
This series is awesome. Would love to see you go over the Blazblue franchise. Youd probably have to use their character select portraits if you dont want to use their in-game 2D sprites.
I'm not sure if someone mentioned this - but akira's normal outfit in SF5 is a bit of a "dressed down" look for her, she's a biker and has her biking jacket wrapped around her waist!
Been really enjoying these Fighting Games videos. Would love to see you do Tekken next. They have some really great japanese streetwear outfits. I particularly love Azucena's Gold Jacket outfit from Tekken 8.
Amazing - thank you so much! You FGC folks are coming through, bless 🙌🏽
I'll obviously be doing Tekken. Most fighting games are on the table for review, so long as the outfits aren't terrible.
I'll keep an eye out for that gold jacket 😎✨️

Your reaction to Eternity was the best! 💜
He was such a pleasant surprise!!! 🥰
@@XDFI knew you would have a field day with Eternity 😂
@@XDFA bit late, but Eternity uses non-binary pronouns(they/them). Really good video tho!
@@AFestiveDude Last I heard, Capcom hasn't confirmed that, so I'll stick to him. Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
I was so glad to see you touch on every one of AKI's outfits! I already liked her, but when Outfit #3 came out, she demanded everyone's full attention- so cool!
Period - she is killing it in outfit #3
I love that Marisa is a jewelry designer by trade, and a gladiator by lineage, and embodies both in her design.
Marisa is my main. Every outfit is amazing. And gaod damn it's fu to play. Whatever outfit you pick it feel like her strange alone could move the wedding dress witjout any cinstraights. And yet doesn't tear.

Eternity is representation so many of us long for in our favorite media. Definitely keeping the energy. ✨
I want to thank whoever designed Aki's 3rd outfit. Its so handsomely done!
It's incredible
"But it's Purple" Saaaaaaaaameeeeeee
Love some purple 💜
Great video mate. If you want to continue talking fighting games, I will suggest "Skull Girls" if you want to give a smaller game a shot. It is beautifully hand drawn frame by frame, each character containing thousands of different animation frames. I think you will enjoy the designs.
eliza is if you replace bayonetta's hair with blood 😂
LOVE the ranking you used! Very refreshing. Loves it. KEEP GOING! HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN ETERNITY? HELLO?!?!?!?
Thanks for the ongoing support! 😄
Yes! So happy that you mentioned Eternity! What a good character design.
I completely agree
I've been WAITING for this episode, street fighter feels like it's made for this series
Based on some of their most recent designs - it absolutely is!
I love your channel, man. So many gaming/nerd channels talk about the same old boring stuff, and you bring such a fresh perspective to nerdtube. Happy to be here at your beginning, because you are gonna blow up if you keep this output going.
Thanks for the encouragement. Consistency is key, and I think I've finally gotten a grasp on it 👌🏽
Agreed. This is unique content. Fashion plays a big part in the character concept design.
XDF: shows some characters he wants in SF6
One of them is C.Viper
You sir have good taste

new here but i just KNEW you'd talk about all 3 Aki costumes
IMO she and Kimberly are the only characters that all 3 outfits are top level
even though Aki was weaker last season and Kimberly still struggles a bit in the meta, there's just no way i could ever give up on playing both of them as my main characters, they're so so so stylish and trust me, both their personalities and their gameplay identity absolutely reflect their fashion choices, best newcomers ever
I definitely agree
AKI has great outfits
I NEED to get components to do AKI's third costume.
The simplistic effectiveness of SF designs always drew me in the most
Clean and simple is sometimes enough 👍🏽
About to binge the rest of yours series. A very refreshing take on video games/anime character designs.

There are a lot of alternative costumes that definitely deserve mentions! I dont mind more inclusions of them. Awesome video

One of my fav details about Chun-Li's SF6 outfit is how the pattern featured on her bracelets still emulate the spikes from her classic outfit!
You’re giving me a new way to look at these characters. @18:16 I also love Eternity’s confidence!
Glad you're open to some fresh perspective

The Shadaloo CRI was one of the best things during the Street Fighter 5 years
Seeing all characters who had appeared in SF in a new artstyle or outfit
And not only playable characters but background/side/NPCs also appear
It was good to see characters from Final Fight, the EX series, SF The Movie The Game and even from the cancelled Capcom Fighting All Stars!
Too bad they didn't make new artworks for the Slam Masters cast 😔
I guess it is because those characters are owned by Tetsuo Hara, the mangaka who made Hokuto no Ken, who designed those characters by petition of Capcom

I can’t believe you didn’t mention JP’s shoes. Impeccable. Manon’s top isn’t a sweater but half a judo gi 🥋
Ok 👍🏽
A.K.I.’s outfit 3 made me pick up the character and I’m fully obsessed with her now. It looks so good.
Keep doing your thing X, these videos are always so fun to watch!
Thanks - more to come 🙏🏽
manon will always be my queen! Ive never seen the alt Lily costumes tho those are too cute
Manon is definitely a fashion queen
@@XDFwell, she is an actual fashion model in the game haha XD
Wow I didn't expect to see Eternity here, the first time I saw him on a trailer I also thought he looked fabulous, I play a game called Dislyte that have lots of interesting kind of designs, I think you will like some of them, keep up the good work, much love to you.
Eternity is definitely a gem 💎
Saw this in my recommended after never seeing a vid of yours before, but as soon as I saw how you look I hoped you’d cover Eternity, glad you had such a warm reaction to him lol
Thanks for taking a watch.
I've had some recent folks try to throw shade on Eternity, but I'm not accepting any slander on him, lol 🙅🏽♂️😌
The variety of franchise choices of this channel is awesome
Thanks for appreciating the range of coverage 🙏🏽
now THIS is the fighting game content i want to see
Bless
Great video! Haven't really seen smt like it, great to listen to when you're just chilling
Thank you. Love a chill vibe 👌🏽
Tytytyty! THIS is the content I need. ❤
Love to hear it
I love street fighter and fashion so seeing your analysis of some of the characters' outfits is great :D
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching 🙌🏽
This is my fashion class and I’m here taking notes
Bless 👨🏽🏫
this is really getting me into street fighter!! love your passion and the video!!
Awesome - glad the video could resonate 🙌🏽
i will now watch the newest videos from now out
i see even more editing effort
cant get enough, xdf content is now a staple of what i look for in youtube
18:17 I knew you will love Eternity's design 👀
Absolutely obsessed 💜
New to your channel, I think your videos are so fun and I hope they make their way to some of the designers who work on the media you cover, because I bet they don't get a lot of people going so deep into their work.
That would be awesome - lots of great work in these games that deserves to be recognized 🙌🏽
Great analysis X! Happy you talked about Street Fighter and i really got some good looks on some of these outfits that you really can't graps that well when playing in full motion while fighting.
Hope to maybe see a Tekken video in the future. That would be amazing!
Thanks for watching
This was great. Thanks for adding your voice and commentary. Menat for SF6 please
Yes, we need more Menat
So fun fact: we can't escape from Jojo, i can count atleast 3 characters who are heavely inspired by it:
First up Guile, his flat top hair many people theorize comes from either Polnareff or Stroheim.
Next there's Rose, in her case is Lisa Lisa, there's many elements like her clothing, the use of her scarf as a weapon, her stage being Italy( and one her Street Fighter 5 alternative outfits isn't subtle about it). Also she's Menat mentor.
And last but not least Juri, a character who was created to be a "Dark Refelection of Chun-Li" is inspired by Jolene Cujoh. Funny enough, while Jolene has butterflies around her outfit( simbolising themes like hope and trabsformation) Juri has spiders
Thanks for the insights - JoJo is the gift that keeps on giving
@@XDFJojo is hugely influential in Japan since the 80s, you will find Jojo inspired stuff everywhere! We just began doing that in the west as well.
Not just theorise, the creators of sf2 cited polnareff as the inspiration, which was always weird to me as he looks way more like stroheim
My man Fights! This is such a good video and I have zero interest in fashion as a goblin. Fighting games are for everyone. Glad to have you in the Fighting Game Community.
😎👊🏽
I was waiting for this! I knew the time would come.
Good things take time 😎
@@XDF hell yeah! Worth the wait.
So, a fun little detail about design for fighting games characters.
A lot of times they tend to have either a little accent color or leave the extermities of the limbs bare, and that has a very practical functional for the game
And that is clarity for animation, the limbs are what you need tô focus on the game, só the hands and legs often have pieces of contrast be it shape or color.
As always you do great work, i always learn a lot
That makes a lot of sense - thanks for the insight
Ah, I was hoping you'd share your thoughts on Ryu's costume 3, but alas. Hope to see it one day! Great vid!
I might look at more alts eventually - but thanks for watching
Thanks for the upload! :)
No problem
So about G, for years Street Fighter wanted to make a "fighting president" as a playable character and he's the end result. He's.......weird, he has those golden marks around his upper body( that make the shape of all the continens), he has a top hat( that draws a conection to Abraham Lincoln) and he's battle outfit is a reference to another character from Street Fighter called Q ( they even share some moves, if they are related or the same person is up to debate).
Interesting - he is kind of giving Abraham Lincoln vibes now that you mention it.
I love Marisa design so much! And her outfit 2 and 3 rocks so hard! (know the focus is on the outfit style but I love all of her!)
And yes just to have something to comment and give some engagement, she is actually italian! She holds dear to her greek ancestry in her visuals (a mix of current MMA with colissium gladiator vibes) and her fighting style (Pankration). The base hair not only remind a helmet, but she also wears a classic roman helmet made of pure gold on top of that! (oh yeah, she has a thing with gold and she herself is a jewelry designer too. Just wished those elements where a bit more present on the outfit 3). She is a power house, not only of muscles strenght, but also charisma and LOVE, lots of love for everybody!
Love this energy for Marisa. She deserves it.
Loved seeing you get so much joy from eternity
Love that 😊
My favorite SF characters are Chun-Li, Cammy, Ryu, The Lee brothers, Rose, Manon, Juri, Alex, Akuma, Rainbow Mika, and Sakura!
I adore Manon's second outfit, Juri's SF5 design, Cammy's OG outfit, Chunny's SF6 design, and Rose's Ruby Heart Costume.
I don't like how SF characters generally look, I don't know what it really is. But I absolutely love some of the outfit designs like the classic Cammy one, Poison and Juri. What's funny is, that most of my male favorites weren't even in the video, like Akuma and Vega. And although it's such a basic design I just love Ryu :D
Genrally I'm way more into the designs in Tekken, so I'm hoping we'll get a video on that in the future ^^
Also just subbed because I've seen so many of your vids and noticed I wasn't even subbed yet ^^
Some fighters just have such unique designs, it's hard not to love them.
I didn't know I needed this kind of video but I did
So glad
this was truly awsome.
Thank you!
Fun thing about Cammy's SF6 outfit, the strips that dangle from her jacket are supposed to mimic her twin braids from her classic outfits now that she has short hair.
Oh cool - love that. Thanks for the insight.
@@XDF No prob, Cammy is a very fast and acrobatic character so her braids trailing behind her has been apart of her visual identity since she hit the streets in the late 90s so they didn't want to lose that with her new cut.
I was just clicking to comment you should do this for KoF just to hear you already have, I'm gonna have to check that one out lol. Cool series idea
I reco only clicking videos you plan to view through. Thanks for watching. 👍🏽
Thank you for enjoying street fighter
of course
I Love how much you love Eternity from a Fashion AND Character Standpoint! He's such a Lovable MC that really draws you in when he's on the screen (For me at least)
Also, as a nerd who loves him some Fashion I feel super seen and Validated once again by Father X. Menat is easily one of my favorite Newcomers into SFV but, The fact that you like Chun-Li's SF6 Outfit has me over the moon. She's my One True Waifu, Loved her since I was 6 and I love love LOVE her new look. Its so freakin' good QuQ
Thank you once again for the amazing video and I cant wait to see more~
Eternity was a character that I didn't know I needed! 🥰
And yes, Menat and Chun-Li are so chic, feminine and stylish. I would love to see more Menat in the future. 💜🔮
I appreciate the thoughtful comment.
@@XDF I would literally cry and sob for at least a full day if they ever announce Menat's return for SF6 before immediately hitting the lab!
Also, Thank you so much for talking about Jamie as he's easily one of my favorite Guys in the entire Street Fighter series! I know it wasnt in the video but his Outfit 3 is easily my fave! There's something so bad-ass to me about fighting in something that looks mad uncomfortable to move around in but doing it so effortlessly while wearing those High-Tops! i'm Done.
And FINALLY Capcom has recognized that not all Men need to be Hyper Muscular and Bulky.
The lily Mariachi outfit is a banger along with Cammy's new redesign
Agreed
I literally thought of you and your channel the second I saw Eternity when I booted up SF6 for the first time.
Love that - Eternity brings the vibes and energy ✨
Good content, Rashid story costume would get a KO if I was in charge. And shoutout Jamie!!
We can give Rashid a consolation KO 👌🏽
I think you need to take a look at Menat's animations if you haven't seen them already. Her walk animations alone are iconic.
Usually with fighting game characters, the costumes need to be functional and tie into their character as well as looking good. I really like Fang's sleeves not just because they're dramatic but also because they help him conceal his hands (functional) and that's because he's a tricky poison-wielding coward who relies on trickery to fight (character). I feel like the best designs are the ones that tie all three elements together.
Can certainly respect a fit that covers all bases. I'll likely always be bias towards some superficial style 😌✨️
Rose is the teacher. Menat is the apprentice.
Rose is mature and serious. Menat is youthful and bubbly.
I believe that's why Rose wears her traditional high heels, while Menat was given that flat sandal-like footwear (as well as being a further callback to her ethnic background).
I love your videos 💚
I have yet to see anyone say anything bad about Menat. Have you seen her walking animation? Her animations + design are definitely a perfect double KO for me.
If you think this was the whole red carpet event, x, just wait until you see the concept art. You will be absolutely fed at that point
Funfact the long dangly fabric on cammys jacket keeps the silhouette of cammys two long braids she had on her older design :D
This series is awesome. Would love to see you go over the Blazblue franchise. Youd probably have to use their character select portraits if you dont want to use their in-game 2D sprites.
18:15 go off! 😆 Also, consider Fighting EX Layer next
Gotta get hype for Eternity ✨
To add onto the Cammy discussion, the tassels on her jacket are a reference to her old long braided hair
I'm not sure if someone mentioned this - but akira's normal outfit in SF5 is a bit of a "dressed down" look for her, she's a biker and has her biking jacket wrapped around her waist!
Yep - I like looks with jackets around the waist
