Thread 713837608

Is this the greatest video game redesign of all time? I don't think a character has ever been this well redesigned.

if a character needs a redesign then clearly they were SHIT to begin with and a redesign still has shit at it's core.

>>713837608 (OP)
Looks like shit now & is completely unrecognizable

>>713837608 (OP)
He's now even more generic and stereotypical rasta man wearing his shithole country's colors. So nigger Honda.

>>713837608 (OP)
Capcom did DJ immense justice gameplay wise in SF6. He got fucked over in SF4.

as a kid, I always thought he was a bad guy because his face looked scary

His stomach looks weird as fuck.

>>713837608 (OP)
it's a fantastic redesign but of all time? you're kidding yourself.

>>713840770
To clarify, his in game model.

>>713837901
how so? he has the same facial structure as his SF2/4 counterpart, but he doesn't have that retarded nonsensical mohawk/dreads fuckery and have actual Jamaican themed design overall
>generic
doesn't have the Killmonger haircut, so he's fine.

Ryu is a shit character then?
was redesigned in SF2 (not a ginger anymore and no shoes), SFV (topless) & SF6 (beard +ermit design + sandals ).

>>713841859
He's nothing but a generic Jamaican stereotype now, how is that an improvement?

>>713842140
because he's supposed to LOOK THE PART. Are you retarded? that's the whole shtick of SF designs.
Ryu prior SF6 always looked like your stereotypical japanese karate guy, so does Akuma and Makoto
Honda always looked like your stereotypical Sumo guy
Sagat & Adon always looked like your stereotypical Thai Boxer.
Chun always looked like your stereotypical chinese chick, but thick.
Gen is always looked like your stereotypical chinese old master.
...
Deejay in SF2 looked... Capcom had no fucking idea what they were aiming for. Now he actually look Jamaican, which is what the fuck Capcom wanted to in the first place.
Even guys like Vega who arguably had an original design for a spaniard, went full stereotypical flamenco spanish guy in SFV because Capcom want their SF character to tell you right in the fucking face where they come from.
i really don't understand your point.

>>713840562
same, this smile can easily be interpreted as villainous

>>713837608 (OP)

Deejay was already great.

>>713843169
Wasn't he a villain in the 90s SF movie with Bison's Raul Julia?

>>713837608 (OP)
It's a great rework but Deejay's visual design was good from the start and fit into SF perfectly despite being the only character in series history designed by a western artist. It's just Jamaican Billy Blanks but it works. 6 leaning more into the music was smart but there's better redesigns in just fighting games; shit, Ingrid's redesign looks way better than the original already and we only have one piece of key art.

>i really don't understand your point.
Since you are a literal retard, let me make this super simple for you:
>Other characters get more specific design tweaks that fit their personalities and go beyond their original plain generic stereotypes over time.
>The Jamaican is now merely a plain generic stereotype after over 30 years in the franchise.
The bigotry of low expectations for black people strikes again to be this impressed by nothing.
