SFC: Ken Redone a bit.

[JoeMasters]

At the SFC in brooklyn, I saw in the console versions that some stuff was different about Ken.

His Eyes in-game are now fixed from green eyes, too his REAL brown eyes.

In his Vs. art , his nose is resized. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the picture but whatever.

yeah thats it. Just thought it was somthing to point out :sweat:

I would have prefered green eyes. Ken is supposed to be a stereotypical American and portraying that can be put above silly details from an 16 bit game.

[Maximilian Masters]

I love it how some trailers he had blue eyes, then green in game. Continuity development team GOOOO!

[otter]

So, back to our nice conversation....

I feel like I'm in the matrix :looney:

He's also got a new winpose too. It still isnt the peace sign classic one, but its good. I saw it somewhere in the SFC NY vids.

[otter]

Yeah, I heard most of the characters will on console.

Im just bummed there's no matchup specific ones.

[P.o.t.S.]

Colored eyes actually worked for Ken, wasn't as bad as when Ryu had them blue or something.

While they're at it they could make his hair like SF3.

Agreed, the character art hair looks good...but in game he had like a dome head.

[Maximilian Masters]

There have been some major cosmetic changes to SF4 since the arcade build we're used to. Winposes, profile art....but unfortunately this as well... Ken Looks All Jacked Up (http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kensjackedupjc1.jpg)

Is it just me, or does anyone prefer the original profile art over this new cheese?

yeah thats the console Vs art. Maybe his nose wasnt bigger, the whole art was different.

I actually kinda like the new art. It catches his trademark cockyness better then the original.

Not saying this fact would make it impossible for him to have green eyes, but you do know that Ken is supposed to be 3/4 Japanese? His father is Japanese, and his mother is half Japanese half Caucasian. His blonde hair isn't even real, it's dyed. I can't say that I'm 100% on that, but that's what people and the internet have been saying since before the Street Fighter Alpha days.

[Dr.Chaos]

I think it was his mother that was japanese and dad that was half.

[MyNameIsPaullee]

I think it was his mother that was japanese and dad that was half.

Yeah that would explain how his last name is Masters unless somewhere along the way he was adopted lol.

[nGuman]

I think that... it doesn't matter because Ken's American and people would still play him even if he looks different.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

Yeah it matters. makes the character more interesting:wgrin:

[P.o.t.S.]

The final build, which has been being shown lately, has Ken with bluish green eyes again. So the final version has brown eyes in all (?) the artwork and blue in the model. :looney:

[Jav1ts]

Kinda like how Vega's art is always shown with blonde hair vega like Alpha3/CVS2 but his in-game character model is brown haired vega like SF2. I heard they're also changing Chun-Li's face cuz it wasn't pretty enough in Arcade version

[Person-Man]

Has his Ultra been improved?

[MYK jamgi]

Have you guys seen Ryu's console vs. screen art?

haha Ryu's looks wayyy worse than Ken's...

[Shinkuu Tatsumaki]

Eh, it looks pretty good to me.

What I don't get is, why Rose/Sak/Fei have mean narrow eye looks in their portraits, and then Cammy gets big anime eyes. The rest of the cast are pretty much fine. They all have the same style.

[Are_you_okay?!]

Meh, I just hope they fix Ken's mullet before it's to late. They did some minor improvements since the first build but it still looks like a dome head mullet, I agree he needs his SF3 hair.

Anyone seen Ken's Alt. costume yet? I can't seem to find it.

[wonderpug]

It's in the alt-costume thread. He gets sleeves. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhLNzqD__JY&fmt=18)

Thanks, kinda lame though. Was hoping for Tuxedo Ken or something.

Dude, I wouldn't take anything out of Japan regarding eye color or hair color to mean anything about race. Pretty much everyone here in real life has black hair and brown("black") eyes here and the color is just a way of giving character to a Japanese character who would otherwise appear pretty much the same as everyone else.

I mean, in the arcade Balrog has blue eyes. Do you need any more proof they don't give a crap about eye color/hair color? It's just used as decoration and not part of identity. This goes way past just gaming.

It's beyond the Japanese consciousness.

[JoeMasters]

dude... Your way fucking late.

[johnnyrotten]

dude... Your way fucking late.

better late than never. just felt like I had to express something after seeing all these threads and comments regarding characters' eyes/hair/look/appearance.

It really doesn't matter at all. There is no continuity, it doesn't even come into play.

Do people play street fighter for the story and backstory of the characters?

[JoeMasters]

No but if you play a certain character every game for years, you tend to notice things that dont belong. Im not saying the fact that Ken has green eyes is going to change the way I play him.:sweat:
