Street Fighter V (PS4/PC exclusive)

They are clearly intentional. They look horrendous mind.

She also has massive hands in SF4. Also isn't there something about the guy that did the artwork for SF3 where he was obsessed with chunky thighs and kept redrawing Chun Li. I seem to recall an interview where some of the devs from that game where laughing about it.

[Jay]

I'm surprised Walt Disney didn't know how small a mouse's hands and feet are. And that ducks don't wear hats.

[Dogg Thang]

None of which is a carte blanche for unappealing design.

[Jay]

Well, no, but we've had posts about proportions that need fixing and the suggestion that there are proportional 'errors' which jump out at designer types. It was worth pointing out that the unusual proportions are there by design.

That may be true, but just because something is intentional doesn't mean it's good.

It's like how Ryu looked far too tanned in the early pics of Street Fighter X Tekken - perhaps it was intentional, but it was still poor.

[Jay]

All of which is entirely subjective.

[Asura]

Yep. Has anyone here implied it's somehow mathematically wrong?

I don't quite get your problem. You like it, some of us don't, and we think proportion is the issue.

[Neon Ignition]

I think it stands out to me with Chun-Li just because they're so heavily out of proportion even amongst many of the other characters

[Pikate]

The characters are ridiculously pumped up, SF4 was guilty of that too slightly and in a cartoony way but SF5 is just mental. Perhaps I'm not remembering correctly but they were much better proportioned in the 3rd Strike / Alpha 3 era, no?

I will say R. Mika looks like a much more competitive/usable fighter now though, that's good news.

[nakamura]

I've a said before I'd love it if they used realistic proportions. Would look so good.

[randombs]

I never noticed her hands are so huge before. They're huge. Maybe it's to keep those wrist spike things in place?

Also, Mickey Mouse's hands are smaller than his head. And, considering he's a cute mouse cartoon, larger hands and feet would make him more endearing. Chun Li's hands are even bigger than her head and she's not designed to be endearing in the same way Mickey Mouse is. One look at her outfits reveals that much.

[Brad]

It's nit-pick.

Brilliant!

I didn't even say I like it

Perhaps I misunderstood, but there were a couple of posts there that seemed to suggest the proportions were somehow erroneous.

R. Mika looks ridiculous btw. As someone said on another forum, she looks as though someone has pumped her up like a tyre.

[Paddy]

But surely that's no more ridiculous than Ryu, Bison or Nash looking as muscular as they do?

If we're going to point fingers at the appearance of SF characters, let's remember Cammy wears a leotard for battle as standard; and Chun-Li's chest has been pumped up to DOA standards.

This is the norm in Street Fighter after all.It wouldn't be this franchise otherwise!
