why do all characters look like they inject steroids and synthol?

[Zhong Xina]

the 2d sprite art style in he old street fighter games had ridiculous looking muscles but after moving to the 3d art style with sf4 and sf5 capcom made the characters appearances look even more ridiculous with giant hands that are bigger size than their skulls and giant cartoon looking synthol muscles.

this art style looks more comical than cool in my opinion.

Because that's the art direction.

Also, the hands and feet are huge on purpose so it's easier to see them and decipher the hit/hurtboxes.

Wtf? Muscles in this game don't look like fake synthol muscles, they are just exaggerated, muscle proportion in every model of this game is pretty well made (except male Seth lol).

Capcom probably outsourced the art assets to some third world country they can pay below liveable wages to

[Definively Not Alchman]

the hands and feet are exaggerated in size to make easier to identify moves, a LOT of fighting games do that

It's the best looking game Street Fighter has ever had, for what that's worth. Important parts of SF4 were good but my god it was absolutely hideous.

I want SF6 to have MK11 graphics or an Alpha game with Guilty Gear graphics. My dream would come true.

The characters are muscular and have big feet and big hands, certainly because of the order of art direction. I also sometimes wonder why this exaggeration, but I think it all makes sense when we try to analyze some aspects of the game.

Note that in SFV, the vast majority of characters have a more badass appearance - when male - or extremely sensual - when female.

So it would be kind of obvious that the characters have so many muscles, precisely to impose an image of strong. Even women have muscles in this game ...

About big feet and hands, I make a comparison with other 2D games, like MK and KoF. Unlike these games, I realized that the fact of SFV of the big hands and feet to the characters allows to place more emphasis on the effects of the strokes. Thus, any Street Fighter hit seems to really hit with a strong impact, coupled with the graphic effects and hitboxes.

The girls look quite nice, but the dudes are a bit too big

guiles arms look like a mix of steroids and synthol. by synthol i mean muscles that look like balloons with air.

Agreed, some of the makes look like they inject oil in their arms instead of lifting lol...

And lol at the dude who said this is the best looking Street Fighter game... This game doesn't hold a candle to the III series

Visually it looks nice. Since III, their proportions have always been gigantic, but it certainly does look weird once it switched to 3D since SFIV. Although sometimes the character models themselves just look too weird at times, like Ibuki's face when her mask is off, or Guile with him not having eyebrows and weird bugged out eyes... and Ken.
Art style nice, models vary from character to character.

I don't think you have realized that in SF the characters are very muscular since the classic game, it is not SFV's thing

They look gigantic now because the camera is closer to the characters
