They censored Blair's classic costume

[Warxa]

If you do the costume code for Cammy's new Blair costume, you get the classic version of the costume, except that it's censored with her thighs covered in black spandex.

Why is Cammy's default green leotard okay but a white leotard of a classic character not okay? Does this mean Cammy won't be able to wear her leotard ever again in future Street Figther games? Doing this after all the sexy costumes that are already in the game makes no sense.

What does this mean for the winners of the costume contest? The costume that reached first place showed a lot of skin, now I believe there's no way they won't censor it.

Is this Sony's doing, Capcom's doing or Arika's doing? What's going on?

I don't know if the leaks are true, but according to them (sorry, can't give you a link, forum rules) Capcom are gonna go full SJW in the near future (probably NRS way).

Except NRS didn't censor its MK3 leotards which were more revealing than Blair's costume. Looks like Capcom might be even worse.

Well, I just unlocked it. I admit I don't really cared about it when I saw it. Never played Ex Layer and never knew Blair, but when I searched for it I felt upset too... I don't like when games go SJW also. By the way, I still think it's sexy. I also liked this armored Blair costume without the code, but talking about SJW stuff, this costume without code seems more SJW than the one with the code. With code the costume at least is tight and yet sexy. Althought I agree it's too normal and hasn't so much appeal. Just seems like a real girl with GYM suit that we see in everyday life.

I always put my trust on Capcom in not going full SJW. We always have these codes as options. This case is sad a sad one thought, since the main Blair costume in the game is of a more covered Blair and the one with code is a covered version of a less covered Blair.

But I liked Blair's costume, she was my favorite character from Street Fighter EX. I was so happy seeing Cammy get a costume of her, hoping she would get a classic variant. I felt my soul get crushed when I input the costume code and saw it censored.

This isn't just some random sexy costume, it's the costume of a classic Street Fighter character. Capcom is erasing its own legacy.

I always put my trust on Capcom in not going full SJW (and I hope they never disapoint in this case). We always have these codes as options (breast on Juri's Lilith costume as an example). This case is a sad one thought, since the main Blair costume in the game is of a more covered Blair and the one with code is a covered version of a less covered Blair.

What I already find really weird about Cammy is the fact that her sponsored costume isn't based on her classic one, but in her story costume, in which she is covered. Now it's a second case. Guess we'll have to count on the modding community on this one.

Just google: "Fighting EX Layer’s Blair Dame‘s outfit change may be due to Harada’s advice" (it's an article from Medium . com) and you'll see this same doubts were there when they changed Blair classic costume to the armored one. Add this Cammy's version of the classic Blair costume and we can just wonder why... Even though they didn't confirmed it there in Blair case, maybe this Cammy's Blair classic covered costume is Arika's fault. But we can only supose.

...it looks pretty much the same as Blair's costume in the last Arika game, Fighting EX Layer.

And really, without modding you can already put Cammy in a couple costumes that are effectively bikinis. What more do you people want? (rhetorical question, I don't want to know)

Rhetorical question, but I'll answer it anyway. We want the costumes they say it is, as it originally is. We don't care if without mods we can already put Cammy in a couple costumes that are effectively bikinis. They told us this is Blair costume, and indeed they gave us Blair's costume in the last Arika game, but when we put the code, to select the classic version, we want the classic version as it really is. And of course we don't want to suspect this change was to pandering for SJW. We know they'll never answer if it is or not, we can only suspect about it.

They can change classic costumes? Yes, they can. But it doesn't mean we have to agree. They changed Jill's classic costume in RE3 remake and I disagreed for example. This doesn't mean I dodn't like Cammy or Jill costumes even if they changed, but are they pandering to SJW or not? That's the question to be made here. And it's not a rhetorical one.

About SJW stuff, I am almost erasing NRS games from my list of games to buy. I don't know why I didn't it yet... But in fact I can't buy their game the way it is, disagreeing with all SJW stuff they put in there, even though I also disagree with the point of view they tried to attack. I'm just saying that NRS made a game that politically isn't for people like me. In fact they made a game with terms and even parodies that please a specific political group. They've turned the game one-sided political. And I hope I don't have to look Capcom games the same way even a little.

I myself am all happy that Netherrealms are the more progressive out of the fighting game developers.
I play fighting games to play fighting games.
If I want to see more skin, I might aswell go watch pornography.

I'm not against characters being sexy and stuff, but it should make sense with how the character act and is portrayed. Neither Chun, nor Cammy acts like their characters even remotely tries to be sexy.
If anyone would fit that bill, it would be Poison.

This I can agree even though I'm not progressive (what doesn't imply I am conservative).

But what I can't agree is when progressists lift the banner of realism in a game. It's just a game! It isn't realistic on it's own nature. When the game is new to everyone, ok. But we have to keep in mind that creative freedom should always be respected, even if a game that produced nowadays have girls in bikini, or girls in fully covered costumes. Not to mention old titles here. Even when we don't agree with it, all we can do is choose not to buy it. And recognize that from the start of all these discussions about girls in games nowadays, there was always the progressive political side that didn't respected creative freedom, and then there was the conservatives and so on.

When franchises have made history, and then to pander some political group they change their concepts, rejecting, or changing said classic stuff, with realism excuses, it's disapointing. I mean, taking Jill on RE3 remake as an example again, I liked her new official costume for the game, but the DLC for the classic one should look like entirely the classic one, or it's not really the classic one, but just some new one resembling the classic costume, fake named as "classic costume".

If you read the post you'd see I said the version with the code that switches for her classic costume, not her Fighting EX Layer costume. You hold all three punch buttons, light kick and up while the round is loading.

It's not progressive, it's regressing back to 90s censorship. Or like regressing back to before the 1960s when women were forced to dress a certain way with skirt reaching all the way to their ankle and everyone had to wear a full bodysuit to go swimming at the beach.

It's not progressive, it's sexist. It's saying that it's okay for men to be sexy, to wear trunks and fundoshis but that women aren't allowed to show skin, treating them as an exception, treating them as if they're not equal to men.

And who cares if characters are not realistic? Isn't that the whole point of video games, to escape reality and live in a fantasy world where things that couldn't happen in real life can happen? If you want realism, you can go play an UFC game or something.

Just because a game is seen as a classic, doesn't make all of its parts good.
That's like calling all of Lovecrafts works masterpieces, but neglecting the obvious bad stuff about him and the "inspirations" of his stories you can pick up on within them.

You might see games as "it's just a damn game" with the "do whatever" mentality when it comes to the visual consistencies, but that's you.
I rather play a game, any game, with designs that makes sense, classic or not.
Games would just end up as a cluttered mess of DLCs, where nothing fits.

Either way, it's not about the realism of the game, it's about believable character designs.
Game mechanics can be whatever, which has nothing to do with believable characters.
The game itself is more connected to, and in control of worldbuilding, which explains how the world works with the character abilities and whatnot.

I rather have new renditions of old stuff, compared to just getting old stuff alltogether all over yet again.
That, if anything, is a reason I wouldn't buy DLC. If I just got the same thing I have already payed and played.
If I want the "classic", I play the classic game.

PS: Looked at and compared the Jill costumes, and I fail to see your reasoning.
They added a gun holster and an elbow pad, which is barely anything, and the gun holster is most likely also used mechanically and within cutscenes.

We need ugly women like Mass Effect Andromeda in the next SF game. People love it.

Well im glad Capcom finally taking their game serious and stopped making characters look like professional lamp post workers.

Now i can finally play with my 4 years old cousin witouth him constantly asking me to find him adult cartoons related to this characters.
