The Art of Street Fighter V
- Thread starter MrCarter
- Start date
Pro support coming down the line maybe? Maybe they're waiting for the Pro install base to grow. I guess they might also see how many of CFN players are using Slim/OG and how many are using Pro and make their decisions partly based on that.
SFV can be gorgeous on PC at max settings...but damn is the clipping distracting at times. PS4 version baldy needs a Pro patch.
My first thought. It's IMO a disgusting looking game with a really bad clash of 'realistic' and fantasy/cartoony elements so it ends up that everything looks like a fetishistic claymation nightmare.
Saying 'SFV has one of the best art styles and animation techniques in the games industry' is entirely subjective and a terrible way to start a thread.
Heck yeah
Best female character designs in modern gaming
Good representation and amazing costume designs
This is an awesome thread!

SFV's artwork is the biggest reason why I bought the game. It's gorgeous. I mean, sure I love the solid gameplay, but as a casual player; I already own Ultra SFIV.
That artwork (Chun Li *drool*) sold me on the game.
Killer Instinct is the only other fighting game this gen, whose art has some life to it. Everything else looks like a by the numbers, bland evolution of what came before it.

User Warned: Disproportionate hostility - there is no reason for such an inflammatory post.
This might be the shittiest first post I've ever seen on a forum, dear fucking lord thank you for the ignore function, Reset.
Yeah I'm here on this, like the game doesn't look bad but in action it just looks a bit average. It's clear the game was constrained by the PS4 whilst hitting a sustained 60fps.
Sure it looks better than SF4 but I'm not sure it is the generational leap I'd hoped for. Between the first trailer and the release they clearly did a fair bit to improve overall image quality but otherwise... Yeah it ain't all that.
I mean if we're going to cherry pick shots of the game then we're only a page or so away from Cammy air throw gif rearing its head.
By comparison I'm not big on GG but that is clearly a game that you can point out as being artful and unique in what it did.
I mean SFV ain't MVCI or KOFXIV but I guess that isn't saying much either.
-edit-
Oh boy I just saw the mod edit. Ha ha I think I'll reign it in a bit.
Well at least you didnt mention a random anime game, because that would have given me a good laugh.
I said in my opinion it has a really bad clash of 'realistic' and fantasy/cartoony elements so it ends up that everything looks like a fetishistic claymation nightmare.
Could someone point me in the direction of where to find some decent PC costume mods? I'd love to see them.
"hideousness", "disgusting", "grotesque"
When I see these words I think games like Ride to Hell Retribution, Normality or Arabian Nights. Hyperbole sure is a cheap commodity these day.
"generations behind"
Come on, now.

What are these words you're even typing.
Art style is up for opinion I guess, I personally think it's by far the best a 3D SF game has looked like, and the best representation we got of the iconic western/eastern meld of Ikeno/Akiman's designs.
Animation is absolutely not subjective, it's some of the best in the business.
From extravagant details
To classic, understated fundamentals
Just flat-out gorgeously detailed animation
Seamless camerawork and direction
Top tier sense of impact and reactions
And this
I rest my case.

On the CFN portal (a great little site for all things SFV) they post character concepts and art all the time. This particular post is about how they do the animation in SFV and use the character Ed as an example:

It's one of the reasons why I'm very much looking forward to how Blanka animates. He will be the first animalistic/beast style character in SFV so I'm excited to see how they visualise him.
I would say Necalli would count as at least kind of animalistic but if people want to forget he's in the game I'm good with that too. But ya I can't wait to see Blanka in action either.
Cool thread, OP. And Ken is beautiful you heathens!

I feel like Necalli was this?
I get you. Those games aren't doing anything unique. Tekken 7 just looks like every other Tekken upscaled in HD, while GG...just looks like anime.
I appreciate Capcom actually trying different things.
Hey everybody look these two people don't know the difference between KOF 13 and 14.
Hey everybody look it's all the regular posters from the sfv ot talking about how great sfv is and shouting down all dissenting opinions.
Eh, I'd say Menat's pretty good but the others either don't really make much of an impression or, like in Kolin's case, are just plain daft.

There's some bad character designs(Abigail, Ken with short hair, Akuma's stupid hair+chinstrap combo) and some technical problems but overall it's a very pretty game with some fantastic art and some of the better redesigns of well known characters I've ever seen.
It's weird to say it, but it also probably has the best looking females in any current fighting game.
And yeah, the animations are insane. I don't think any other fighting game comes close.
I know people shit on it, but I actually like the "clay" look. It would look weird if the character's hair looked realistic instead of solid like clay or plastic. They look like animated action figures.

Different opinions make me so angry!!! If you're going to use the ignore function maybe you shouldn't post a pointless inflammatory comment to go with it?
You just stated a bunch of opinions and then said 'I rest my case'. That's now how arguments work.
I didn't even mention animations when I stated my own opinion on the game. But in my opinion, the animations are too fluid for the chunky art style, it's like cartoon bugs bunny animations of very 3D looking semi-realistic characters, creating a style mismatch that looks bad. Chunky but floppy, it's no good. Street Fighter III had a flowing, 'classic 2D animation' style in both art and animation which matched well, many of those animations have been copied directly in 5, but it doesn't match the 3D graphics.
But my main complaint is the modelling and lighting, which just creates disgusting looking characters in many cases. they look literally like clay models, instead of either animation or real people.

The games models and animations are top tier. The backgrounds are so early ps3 level characters which ruin a lot of the stages for me... the stages look better when they are empty.
You sound like you need to chill the fuck out there, guy. You're the one who came here to shit on this thread with some hot takes. In a thread celebrating some people love of something you came in to make a comment that has nothing to do with the thread. Then you start making passive aggressive posts. Calm down
Very much agreed on that. On PC I used to mod the NPCs out, but since so many of the weekly FM missions involve triggering them to do something, I got tired of remembering to toggle them on/off and just let 'em rock.

I updated the OP with how the SFV team produce the animation in this game.
I know what you guys mean and I initially thought about this, however although Necalli is "animalistic" he still very much has the body and structure of a human. Blanka is straight up a beast.

Did you think it was clever to post this instead of engaging with my opinion?
There IS such thing as too fluid animation, and animation must match art style for something to work. The opposite of fluid in this context is not stiff animation, it's balanced animation for the art. Not everything flows like water.
Yeah, same. The character art style and animation look great to me in that regard. The hair fits the style. The hair complaints seem to miss the point of the style to me.
That's why the V-trigger swirls look like clay-like as well. It's just that some alternate models aren't quite as good and something like Ken's hair could maybe could have been broken down into a couple more pieces to be a tad less chunky, perhaps.
I do think the over filtering on the backgrounds is unnecessary and the 30 fps npcs hurt the overall look though. That's the only thing about the style I don't really like.
My issue is, for example, that the hair/clothes look like they're made of clay, but move like they are made of hair and fabric. It creates a cognitive dissonance on those physics. It's like it's been animated for another art style (like a normal 3D art style like Tekken), then had the claymation art style added on top.
I engaged your opinion with ample visual evidence, which you disregarded entirely to push whatever it is you tried to push.
If you want to further read my thoughts on the quality of SFV's animation, you can do so here:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/th...preciation-a-lot-of-gifs-mobile-warning.1856/
You should have said animations in your thread title, when you said art I thought you were talking about promotional art or that there was a SFV Artbook
Other than that I agree SFV looks great in motion, with the exception of the stages which I feel look a little lifeless.

Ya it's going to be sick, I can't wait. Might even get me to learn to play charge characters now that I know so many people hate playing against Blanka.
Although the more realistic scenario is me getting frustrated and going back to Ken full-time only to face an annoying army of Blankas who I end up hating. Shit...
One of my faves is Miss Karin Kanzuki:
Karin is my favourite Street Fighter and I think she was amazing here.
I also love the art direction in SFV. It's leagues ahead of any Streetfighter outside of 3.
Obviously I'm not as mad as you are and I'm not being passive aggressive about it, I'm being completely forward. SFV's OT is full of dudes who want to make threads about their game where as soon as someone has an opinion that doesn't match theirs they all gang up and never engage in an honest discussion whatsoever. I wouldn't be surprised if the community itself has scared more newcomers away than it has attracted.
No, you did not. You posted a huge post about animation when I hadn't even stated my opinion on animation specifically (or even mentioned it apart from incidentally saying the OP stated option as fact) but the modelling.
When I then replied to you your post directly addressing the animation, by stating that I didn't think the fluid animation matched the art style, you replied with no real engagement by quoting me out of context with a smarmy neckbeard meme.
Your behaviour in this thread has been extremely rude.
We just need someone to come in and say they think SFIV looks better, and we can wrap this one up and put a bow on it.
I really like SFV and I play it regularly but I have to say that the visuals are pretty hit or miss. Characters like Chun-Li and Karin look fantastic while some look pretty meh like Alex and Akuma. The game has really high highs but also really low lows.
One thing I hate that I never see mentioned is how weirdly proportioned some of the characters are and I don't just mean the hands and feet. Like, Ken looks so weirdly stocky that it makes him seem kinda short and weird looking which has bothered me since the game came out. Also the hair consistently looks like clay which I can never get over. I guess it's still better than He-Man looking Ken from SFIV.
The music, on the other hand, is fucking god-tier. It's like my third favourite soundtrack of this generation, beaten only by Nier Automata and Persona 5, yet it's rarely ever mentioned.
