Visuals are fine.

Chill my dudes. They're not the best but far from bad.

Gimme Z.W.E.I now.
You're right, the visuals are fine. That doesn't mean that the visuals aren't disappointingly underwhelming because they are to me.

The screenshots and videos show low polygon counts and "approximated" material shaders that were all but the norm during last generation (lots of Xbox 360/PS3 era rendering techniques).

Boob armor and collant
Why does the character you posted had to be Taki, and not a new character? Everyone knows Taki by her latex ninja outfit and shenanigans stuff, and another 2 reasons. It's the same as wanting Chun to be a woman with a police suit and with smal thighs.

What does what i said have to do with smaller thighs?

Funny that you named Chun-Li because she also has a skin tight outfit, but it isn't as ridiculous and sexualized as Taki

Taki is a badass ninja so i want her to look badass, let's be honest the current design could have been bearable years ago, but now it's more ridiculous than anything else imo.

Huh? What has changed since "years ago" that has made the current outfit go from bearable to ridiculous?
If anything I think it's less ridiculous now since they've toned down the bounce.

Am I the only one who despises the art style in SC6 which is basically Tekken 7's look? I don't know how to call it...maybe puke-filter?
I want my clean looking fighting games back. And cut down on those Anime FX as well, thx.

I know I will get trashed

She's literally using the same latex stuff as Taki, the only difference is that you can't see her chest. Taki's design is much less sexualized now than never.

Is weird, because in one hand Taki, Sophitia and others are as sexualized as ever, but they removed (mostly) the jiggle boobs, like, somehow, trying to reach a middle ground that accomplishes nothing in the end.

Can you really look at that boob window, not just a normal boob window but a window that separates the boobs so much, and say that it's ok and fits the image of a serious ninja?

Taki isn't dressed, she has body paint, for the sake of sexualization.

No outfit in the real world skin hugs each individual breast like Taki's outfit in these games.
Coupled with the metal support underneath that basically squeezes and pushes them out.
And unlike Ivy there's no reasonable justification. And it's clearly not body paint if you look at the high-res images.

It looks preposterous and stupid. I just can't believe none of the devs looked at that and thought, maybe we could tone it down a little... add a chest plate, or at least make the outfit cover both breasts rather than wraparound each.

This thread would be twice as long if the bounce was as in SCIV, no doubt about that. But I think they're in a very successful way flirting with the old SC fans now, and if that means that they had to tone down the bounce to not get the media/boards outraged when showing off Taki and Ivy in their original state then I think it was all worth it to go for that middle ground.
The Shyamalan twist would be if they just went with a bounce setting in the video menu like DOA and set it to low here to dodge a bullet at the launch hype ;)

They were never going to change it since it is has been her design since the start of the franchise.

Unlike DOA, not one person on this entire planet played Soul Edge/Blade/Calibur because of the tits.

It's gotten worse with each iteration and now it's like some stubborn principle with Japanese fighting game devs.

They treat their female characters like it's a Carry On film. Balloon tits everywhere. It's just utterly shite design. Immature games for teenage boys.

Have you seen chun in modern street fighter? She's constantly fighting in the coldest environment of all time

Can't just look at Ivy, Taki and Sophitia, I'd say that Soul Calibur has had more variety than most games.

Her tits arent balloon enough in this game, the downgrade is ridiculous, I might not buy because of it.

Scratch that, hopefully you can make a CaS with max chest to make up for it. Dont fail me Namco.

You would think they use adoptive tessellation to smooth out any rough polygonal edges this gen.

idk why people are getting bent over the mask

I'm sure there are ways to take it off with button combinations/alts or better yet in customization

and this will help the sad folks upset about her form fitting true to origins attire, maybe they will throw in some kneepads, kevlar vests, and nun habits to mask possible "embarrassment" from your dog's girlfriend.

Hm, if nothing else, it looks like there's a little shadowing on the eyes now, compared to the phosphorescent cartoon eyes from earlier reveals.

There's definitely big similarities to Tekken 7's artstyle, but at least there's no signs of the image quality being tampered with. Tekken 7 went a bit overboard with film grain and chromatic aberration, and there's no signs of either in SC6.

User warned: inappropriate and dismissive commentary. A video game forum is not a boys' club.
Not picking on you but I'm pretty over seeing people post gifs of sweating men whenever there's a picture posted of a sexualized video game character.

It's pretty gross.

Chill bro. You are in a freaking gaming forum lol.

It is not enough that Taki is back.
I want them to go back and deny the existence of Natsu.
She wasn't born yet in the year this game takes place, unless her birth was retconned to be earlier.
Her tits arent balloon enough in this game, the downgrade is ridiculous, I might not buy because of it.
This is a joke, right?

I've definitely seen enough of it the other way around to not really care.

Which is a bit of a shame. Makes it more unreadable and focus on it for no reason.
But to be fair, Bamco went down this route ages ago, I miss when it was more subtle.
That doesn't really matter since that's just contained within that RE minigame thing. You don't get to read anything in that mess.
