Cammy's wearing pants (were the bare legs too much for Fortnite's younger-skewing audience?) and Guile… sheesh, just look at the guy.


Yeah I’m pretty sure Cammy’s legs weren’t the problem Wink though even then that is a weird reason to alter her outfit considering how some of them other female skins have well defined butts.

As for Guile he apparently has a mustache which may be why he’s off to some people.

-ActiBliz: Yeah, and now Jason Schreier put out a new piece today detailing the company's radioactive culture. Just gut the whole thing like a fish, get every executive out of there, get every "good old boy" out of there, I don't care if they have to be bought off, just get them out of game development.

In better news, today marks Metroid's 35th anniversary, so Nintendo put up another Dread Report: https://metroid.nintendo.com/news/metroid-dread-report-vol-4/

The teaser has some interesting implications going on, especially with the Chozo.

Hmm, Asatsugutori sounds like it would fit in the 999 series, not that I'm complaining. Hopefully it comes out here Smile

Something about the art style and positioning in the creepy clip you posted for Asatsugutori makes me think of the avatars from Gaia Online, which is something my brain decided to still remember as important information some 15 years later. Aside from that, I am getting some Corpse Party vibes and it definitely looks interesting enough to pique my curiosity. Hopefully we will see it head to the English speaking world somehow.

Otherwise, that Fortnite Guile is absolutely unnerving. I agree that it's the stubble that makes it so weird. But I'm probably in a very tiny minority of actually preferring that Fortnite Cammy costume over the classic one. Sorry Cammy, but I have always completely hated your classic outfit. ^^;

I am so happy that the Activision blizard situation is not just been swept under the rug and forgotten about like the ubisoft one. Or worse yet actively censored or mocked for being brought up.

Perhaps they might be positioning him as a new protagonist? A bold move, considering they tried that back in Street Fighter III with Alex, but everyone just wanted more of the old Ryu/Ken/Chun/Akuma gang back.


Or Abel, who was technically the main character of Street Fighter IV, since he had the direct relation to Seth. Making Luke the new "main character" for a potential SFVI really isn't that bizarre, but unlike SFIII we'll obviously still have the older characters so that he won't feel forced onto us.

Really, SFV is the only game in the series to NOT have a brand new character act as the protagonist, if you really think about it. Ryu was the lead for SF1 (since he won the tournament), Guile & Chun-Li were co-leads for SFII (as they both had vendettas against M. Bison/Vega/"Dictator"), Charlie Nash & Rose were arguably the co-leads for the Alpha games (though a lot of characters had their own individual stories, too), Alex was the lead for SFIII (since he had a vendetta against Gill), & Abel was the lead for SFIV (since he was relevant to Seth's existence). SFV, however, reverted things back to Ryu & Nash as the arguable co-leads.
