Weebs unironically think these designs are cool

But Ky and Sol are good character designs?

sol is iconic for a reason. ky kiske is pretty bland though.

They fucking are and i'm not even a weeb. You're just a shitposting dicksucker, otherwise you would have explained why you think they aren't. Which you did right since your opinion is shit anyway.

Their Xrd designs are horrible, but I think their previous designs were better.

generic weeb trash design.

I see your issue with belts and I raise you: characters wearing coats without putting their arms in the sleeves

It's the main thing keeping me from touching Guilty. The graphical fidelity is completely wasted on those designs. How do you even play this shit without feeling a sense of shame?

I prefer May

I'm a weeb and I dislike their designs. In fact, I dislike GG period. That engrish heavy metal motif is cringe

that's inspired by the jackets worn by japanese delinquents (bancho). it's supposed to signify toughness.

So who do you want back in the new gg?

By not being insecure.

sol is not at all iconic, he's just (maybe) the most prominent male character from the franchise. nothing transcendent about that character.

they would if they were still pixel art

Jam for my current main and Anji and ABA for characters missing from Xrd.

You're right, they don't because there is no "principals of good character design" unless you're a rank amateur.

true. anything goes. wouldn't want to offend anyone.

Weebs eat shit on a daily basis

>you have to explain why to have an opinion
Which is funny because you didn't explain your own opinion anyways. Because you are a pleb weeb with shit taste.

Sol:
-overly tiny head that looks too amateurishly-drawn
-too many unnecessary belts that just make him look like a gay fag that shops at Hot Topic instead of a fighter
-the ribbon is offensively gay, I'm not even homophobic but you can't have him voiced by fucking Joji Nakata and trying to act bad-ass while he looks this goofy
He just looks like a cosplayer instead of a bounty hunter or a tough guy.

Ky:
-let's give him a ribbon and ponytail too even though fundamentals of design should dictate the main rivals should be as opposite as they can be
-his clothes just don't make sense, and again obligatory belts
-the text looks awful and you can't even see it unless it's zoomed in, and again way too similar to Sol when they should be contrasting
-I'm going to be honest, he is just excessively gay. Now you might get mad at me for saying that, but you can't have a FIGHTING game that's blaring buttrock and fire, but at the same time expect me to think this anorexic twink fits in this game.

Ky looks practically the same other than he has long hair now
How can it be weeb if it was designed by Japs retard

what are some good character designs, then? mortal combat?
having this shit of a taste should be enough for you to be put down

Well, Capcom had the fortune of being the first one out the gate as well as having a better stable of artists.

GG ran at over twice the resolution of Third Strike. It had a lot more to work with and allowed more detail

Hey man at least only 1 character wears a fucking license plate it could be worse.

my cat looks just like that,what the fuck nigga

People at least do that in real life

Mortal Kombat is the western analogue of GG, but maybe even worse.

That's the secret to iconic designs: keeping it simple. Something weebs fail to understand.

it's funny how Yea Forums seethes so much about calarts, because if this site was put in charge of design, every character in media would look exactly like calarts. no anime because that's the dreaded "weebshit," soft and tame with bright colors so it doesn't look "edgy," no details at all so it's not "overdesigned."

Nothing wrong with that. Capes should make a comeback in modern fashion.

Ram is fine.
I keep forgetting ABA exists, but I don't hate it

character design is not about "why", it's about "why not"

Working on more potent hardware invites designers to add additional detail to exploit the engine's power. It's like Nomura's work on FFVII versus the visual clutter that are his later designs.

"overdesigned" is a meaningless buzzword that redditors use to dismiss anything that looks detailed.

Azrael and Hakumen by themselves are cooler than the entirety of all GG rosters across every game.

SF2 is the first modern fighting game that raised the bar as far as character designs go for the genre. Stop being a pedantic faggot.

Shut up, cave johnson

I wasn't really a fan of what Xrd did to a lot of the character designs. The series was already known for being an outlandish marriage of anime and heavy metal album covers, so taking already-flamboyant designs and just adding MORE DETAILS! MORE BELTS! RANDOM TEXT! MORE MORE MORE over everything pushed it way over the edge.

"overdesigned" and "detailed" are not the same thing. You don't know what you're talking about, and, yes, visual clutter is a pitfall of visual mediums. Try deciphering the action in a Michael Bay Transformers movie. It's hard. Because the robots are overdesigned.

Except in this context, the word does apply. Guilty Gear is overdesigned trash. The horrible tacked-on text, the belts that make no sense both in practicality or visual coherence. Too many useless little nothings, and they don't even look like fighters.

More generalized, that's the issue with 3D and modern high resolution canvases.
Since you no longer have to deal with drawing a shitload of frames, you can make a complicated and noisy as fuck 3D model then pose it any way you please.

Street Fighter had to manage with 2D and tiny resolutions, so those legacy designs stuck. It's no surprise that a lot of their newcomers in the 3D games are a lot more noisy in regards to details and accessories.
ArcSys came in at the tail end of the Playstation 1's life and into the PS2 gen when they could make their characters very detailed. Now with 3D they are completely unchained.

3S. Lower resolution, but better animation.

>He just looks like a cosplayer instead of a bounty hunter or a tough guy.

Spoilers: he is.

>even though fundamentals of design should dictate the main rivals should be as opposite as they can be

Well apparently we're running with the idea that there's a universal rulebook that if you don't follow it's bad. Blonde hair contrasting brown has been the staple since SF and his tidy hair is a contrast to Sol's messy hair. But we'll come back to this in a minute.

"Don't make sense" isn't a useful critique so I'm ignoring that.

The text is there because they're not meant to fully contrast, they're allies as well as rivals, so they RHYME design wise.

Morons who think there are rules to art are the worst.

Nomura did that partly to see how the 3d artists handled it.

Nothing in OP is visually cluttered. I can tell because I actually play this game and you can read everything the characters do incredibly well. If it was a cluttered design that wouldn't be possible.

bayformers is nu-hollywood western shit. of course it looks like shit, unlike japanese kino.

Good point. I put 3S and X2 on the same level. Both are really pleasing to look at for me especially when you add the music.

I don't get how giving them both ponytails and ribbons are a contrast. It worked better in the old GGs when Ky had short hair and Sol didn't.

>Doesn't make sense isn't a critique
Except it is, whether you like it or not. Look at Ky's shoes here What's the need for those little belts? Why does he need the loincloth in the middle, what's with those shoulder things that don't even look like they can protect him? (And if he did want body protection why not just wear armor then). Why does Sol need a belt around his bicep? Why does Sol have belts on his loincloth in that way? Why does he need one around his chest? None of this makes sense.

I want him to return in the new game as a big bara dude with chicks hanging off both arms.

Nothing you said in this post proved they're good. Immediately identifiable is completely subjective too, unlike the fact that fighting game characters are supposed to look like fighters instead of cosplayers. Weebs always think randomness and overdesigning make designs great but in fact it's the opposite.

...in your opinion. patricians with taste like the way guilty gear's characters look. maybe you should stick with western games, where every character is a generic military guy or an ugly chick with tumblr hair.

Isn't the guy on the left literally called Ryan Badguy or something? Jesus christ lmao, i cant believe weebs like this garbage.

>No he's not. Don't project your headcanon and change the meaning of words to fit your weeb narrative.

He's a scientist that's been playing at looking tough for a long time, and even gets away with it because of gear cells, but he's still a dork at his core. This has been shown many times throughout the story.

I explicitly point out how their designs are made to rhyme messy/tidy, hope/free, etc.

That's not a critique, it would be if they had impact, but needless parts are not actually a negative in of their own virtue. They're lampooning rock fashion, that's the point, half the games fighters and attacks are named after 70s and 80s rock and some visual kei. It's a callback to that.

>unlike the fact that fighting game characters are supposed to look like fighters instead of cosplayers.

That's like, your totally subjective take man.

>sol's chest keep getting bigger
Why yes I do think these designs are indeed quite cool

Negative impact on the game's readability*

Fixed myself.

Yes, because he's a Freddy Mercury reference
Sol isn't a weeb design its fucking westaboo. The entire games characters is a reference to western metal and rock bands other than Baiken who is a reference to samurai films, yet still has moves that reference bands such as Queen etc

My theory is that weebs are simply nostalgic for the garbage they played on their Nintendos when they were little faggots, and have such terrible lives now (probably because of how much time they spent playing said faggot games) that they simply never matured in taste - and juvenile, poorly written, amateurish shit like every JRPG ever made still appeals to them, because it reminds them of simpler times.

Not really saying much since most of the dudes in GG already have long hair too. Besides, they didn't do enough with the lion aesthetic other than long hair and his swords turning into them during his instant kill.
>big jacket
Doesn't look as cool as Azrael's casual don't-give-a-fuck clothing. Sometimes less is more.
>fights with crosses
Not as great as punching a motherfucker in his face. Also crosses don't even make much sense with the lion aesthetic, I guess you can reach and say they slice like claws but then why not just make them claws instead. I think trying too hard to be wacky sometimes results in the end design not being as strong.
>can fight facing away

But that's not the same as looking as a cosplayer. And also he is tough, objectively. Yes, I know the lore of Guilty Gear, but you're missing my point. He just looks like a gay tranny cosplaying, not a bounty hunter or a tough guy.

>He's a dork
Nothing about his design implies this either, but you can literally call every character in every fighting game this. They're all dorks in their own way. Still doesn't negate all the shit that don't make sense that I listed above. And you can say all fighting game designs are dorky too, this is a non-argument that means nothing. I can call Akuma, Kazuya, literally everyone dorks but that doesn't mean they're immune from criticism.

That's because he was turned into a fucking monster. Sol has no idea how to fight he just throws punches and because he's so strong that works for him. In the story mode he asks Ky to teach him how to fight basically and Ky knocks him on his ass
Saying Sol is a dork is kinda true but he's also a bounty hunter, he looks pretty on par to what you'd expect a westaboo Jap to design as a bounty hunter in the 90s

Your criticism has amounted to "they don't need to be there" which isn't actually a meaningful critique ON IT'S OWN. It can be part of one, but there is nothing wrong with something for the sake of itself. If they posed a gameplay readability issue sure.

Also what are you talking about? how is "Trying to look as over the top tough as possible and ending up looking like a cosplayer" not exactly that?

Then again I shouldn't expect much from someone who unironically says gay tranny. But hey, you wrote several lines to say "I don't think it looks cool"

BB blew up because it's a better game.
Design-wise, BB is at the extremes of the bell curve with GG in the middle.
There are a handful of top tier designs in BB like Hakumen.
GG starts right below them with Johnny and gets increasingly dumber down to Bedman.
Then the rest of the BB cast ride the short bus.

Yea Forums doesn't play video games.

GG is the second best fighting game out there (Behind Arcana Hearts). And it's bombastic 80s inspired raped up to 11 designs are explosive and in your face in the ways they should be for a fighting game that's steeped heavily in rock and roll and heavy metal culture. They're perfectly readable, making it clear what's happening and how you can react even at times where the hitboxes act unintuitively.

Looks like emo kids' Gaia online avatars but put in a fighting game. Something about Arcsys designs really push me away at times, not gonna lie. Tekken 7's grandpa looks a million times better and somehow manages to have a crazier backstory. To be fair, that game also has some anime, but not to the point that it looks that bad. Mori and Daisuke just rely too much on adding extra things, bloating the characters' outfits instead of focusing on their core designs. Guilty Gear in particular has some of the weakest and most forgettable core designs ever. Meanwhile simple characters like Ryu and Terry Bogard accomplish everything they wanted to without looking cringeworthy.

I'll break it down for you:
SF's designs are as basic and no frills as a 2D fighter gets, because they needed to communicate an idea quickly under a lot of limitations. It is equivalent to Virtua Fighter, which is also full of no frills basic designs that needed to communicate an idea quickly under a lot of limitations. The only difference between the two games is that Street Fighter started was many people's first introduction to fighting games with SFII, and it blew their minds.

Street Fighter was extremely well supported, and iterations would come out so fast that no one got a chance to even consider anything different unless they were Mexican. Street Fighter is not popular because Ryu is the coolest manly man of that time, it's popular because Capcom made a good game and made sure no one looked anywhere else, and when a customer would look elsewhere, they would immediately label anything non-Capcom as a cheap knock-off.

If Capcom had allowed competition to flourish, the situation would be more akin to what happened to Virtua Fighter. VF wasn't flashy enough to compete with Tekken's gallery of cool dudes, and was on unpopular systems, thus the game was not tin people's faces as much. This gave people more of a chance to consider things like character design and flashiness, and wary over which games the liked more, rather than VF being the default like SF was. Can you imagine what would happen if Capcom and SNK were actually neck-and neck in America?

The two are not comparable. There is better design in SF, both on a character-to-character basis as well as collectively, than VF. Aided also by the fact that those early-nineties sprites were more expressive and fun to look at than crude polygon models.

Azrael sucks.

I'm a weeb and that design looks like shit.

why is there an american flag in the background?

Because that stage is America

GG takes place in post-apocalypse world.
A ninja is the president of the USA

>dad rock
>majority of characters arent twinks
more like an antithesis to weeb games desu

A fake ninja

Chipp is not the president of the US. He's the president of his own country which is located in South Africa.

You're retarded, Chipp is American but he's the president of the Eastern Chipp Kingdom which is where South Africa is

It goes beyond that, many characters make fun of Ky (58kg) for being the only pretty boy twink.

I'd be most excited to see Answer because he's my favorite Xrd character and I'm pretty confident that he's not coming back.

Sounds like Mortal kombat to me.

Some of the new comer's design are really boring.

Give me more crazy anime design like Frankenstein girl with giant key-axe, trap with a fucking yoyo as weapon, dude possessed with ghosts and gear girl with sentient wings.

Self-parody is not irony.

>posting the shit May
Shame on you.

>a weeb would know

lol what did you even google to get that photo

Anyone with taste likes the X-X2 designs better.

>Capcom continues to pump out simple, iconic designs like Juri

You mean Jolyne Kujo?

Juri is an awful Capcom design because the entirety of SF's design philosophy is for the design to reflect what kind of fighter they are, Juri's design gives zero information about her fighting style

may has barely changed from XX to Xrd you nigger

Uhhhhhh
Its 1998 designs.....faggot

Generic ninjas don't wear suits, and he black samurai's helmet is unique.

didnt he become president of MAGA in one of stories?

He was the bodyguard of the President which inspired him to create his own country and be the president there. He was never the president of the US though.
