First of all, the hair. Every loop is like a L'Oreal ad.

Second, he's spinning his arms like he's dancing. Rick Astley would be proud.

At first the pic appears amazing, but take another look. Most of it is done using just cutout animation. The actually fully animated parts are the explosions, the sand, crab's back, and very few others.

That said, the art direction and the level of detail of the graphics in Metal Slug is admittedly great and I wish more games would do something similar.

can confirm this is a real thing because a black man showed me how to walk like a true pimp: let one hand go free, and with your other hand you "pick it up" take a step, and "put it down" with your next wek.

It is, but she's still drawn very carefully and it's showing.

Except for her head. Yeah. But it's kinda justifiable since at low resolutions that's the hardest part to draw. Some other sprites like Sean and Gill also have static heads—with some hair animations.

Even aside from SFIII, not many 2D fighting game characters move their heads much in neutral poses.

You see, I think Capcom has forever been trying to make Chun Li what she was not initially: the sexy mascot of the series. When initially, I think she was more of a "cute Chinese kung-fu girl" with just a little bit of sexy legs.

Now, Mai is obviously a fan service character—not in a bad way. No one hides it—and she's stayed pretty consistent over years.

But to me it seems that Capcom has been trying to retrospectively change Chun Li to some monstrous milf. Initially, I think she was closer to Pai Chan/Ling Xiaoyu. But then Capcom took away all her Asian facial features, gave her new ridiculous legs, and generally tried to give her more and more sex appeal. All of this IMO just doesn't work: she still has her modest original outfit, but Capcom goes out of its way to try and find new ways to make her sexier.

And in SFV, her boobs and overall looks are just ridiculous. I'm just saying—leave Chun Li alone already! For fuck's sake—SF has other female characters! For sex appeal, pick Mika, or Sakura, or at least Cammy if you pretend SFII is the only SF game. Heck, I love Mika much more than any other SF girls.

well to be frank, chun has always had humongous legs.
that's because the guy who drew her up was and is still a leg fetishist, enough so that SF2 actually got delayed a bit so he could render her legs just right
as for the milf thing, 3 already established that she was taking care of orphans now, and since the recent games take place after 2, she isn't the young cop she used to be.

This IS chun li. She isn't complete without the freakish huge dark alien eyes courtesy of akiman. The reason for a her massive legs are A) he had a fetish for massive thighs, B) so she can compete with all the other beef cakes in the game, and C) it enhances her character design. Either way, ...strongest woman in the world.

Akira Kitamura made the static sprite. The rest of the art team did the rest of the animations.

It's a really good design, on par with Mario for giving the most detail as you could in a famicom game. It's packing a huge amount of detail into a tiny sprite. Matsushima's two sprite trick allows for more colors than normal.

That outfit is literally hooker-tier shit as >>3433818 said.

I must admit though that pic I posted was actually not that bad. Her eyes looks more Asian. I probably lashed SFV way too much when I should have talked about IV instead, which introduced the hooker outfit in the first place. There, she looks like Julia Roberts playing Chun Li.

>>3433823
I agree to some extent, but in the recent games (and even SFIII) her thighs are just monstrous, Hokuto no Ken tier bulging mountains of muscles.

OK, plenty fighting game characters have their weirdnesses, especially in SF. But every fucking time now they give her tits rivaling Soul Calibur, and generally make her more and more of sex appeal character. She's looking more and more like exaggerated hentai version of herself now.

And it's not that they have some vision of her. It's like they're trying to distort the old Chun Li and retroactively add new details into her design. I used to have some idea of who she was as a character—I don't now. I honestly have no fucking idea who Chun Li is anymore.

Exactly. Nothing to add.

>>3433959
I'm not really complaining about them being big but rather about how ridiculously slutty Chun Li was in IV, which IMO is directly the opposite of what she's been before—pretty restrained cop, with her famous win pose contrasting her usual focused attitude.

That's really it… except for the bouncing animation in her SFV portrait. This is just a bit too ridiculous and cheesy. Hence the comparison with Soul Calibur (her boobs look exactly like Taki's now). However, in SFV she's a little more like her old self—compared to IV.

>>3433980
In Alpha they're kind of bulging under her top which is pretty weird too. I usually don't associate Asian women and big boobs and that's kind of clashing. But given the general vibe of SFA as SF anime, I'm more or less fine with it.

I liked how in SFIII, she actually got very nice king-fu movements, stances and so on. Her stage also had a very distinct Chinese vibe. This made her deeper as a character, in my opinion. I slightly disliked her taunt though, she became slightly arrogant/bitchy.

On a side note, I loved how both TvC and MvC3 looked. I guess they tried to follow Shinkiro artwork style, and in the case of MvC they also added the trademark Marvel shading. The result was simply eye candy, it was exactly the look I hoped for when Capcom were taking their series to 3D. Too bad they made SFIV look disgusting.

Interesting thing I found: the rotation animation is actually flawed. Because some frames are just mirrored versions of others, Chun Li "swaps" legs during the animation. You can notice she also "moves" her arms because of this.

Heh, it's funny: I'd say it's fantastically drawn… but the animation itself is actually not so great.

Here's a slowed down version. Now, look carefully at Chun Li's legs when she faces the viewer or exactly when she turns back. Watch carefully… You can notice she swaps her legs: one frame she rotates with her left leg forwards, the next frame it's her right leg.

Of course, since the animation was so fast, it wasn't really noticeable… But still it's kinda cheap. Instead of 8 different frames, they drew only 5. Maybe they had hardware limitations or time constraints, but still a flaw is a flaw.

Not really ironic, unless you consider the whole character an ironic joke.

there is an interview somewhere, where they admit they used a lot of tricks like that to save space in the roms as the character animation data became too large fast. I think it was akira nishitani who said this? And its brilliant. In the end you dont notice it anyway.

For the same reason of mirroring it says MAXIMUM on Deejay's pants. Since the word is easily mirrored. Here is more on the mirror stuff in SF.

Yep, same on Fatal Fury, this sprite uses the "Nihon" kanji on the back since it also reads the same mirrored.

Well, "Nihon" fits there anyway, it's an obvious thing to write

There's not much brilliant about it. Yes, it's a common technique to lower the number of frames. It's not hard to do. Same reason as for OP's picture.

It was obvious few people would notice that. But in the end when you watch closely, you realize it's always been there. I don't blame Capcom, it's just obvious the hardware had limitations.

The SFIII version is gorgeously animated though—but I like Chun Li less in it. She has no ass and no hems

Agreed. Every time I see TvC I lament how this art direction wasn't used in IV/V.

Hehe, there is something nostalgic about this that I just cant put my finger on.
It's hardcore, but childish...friendly, but brutal.
I love it.
