So, who wants to burn SJWs on crosses now?

What a waste of crosses that would be.

True. Chaining them to concrete and throwing them in the ocean would suffice

How about going to an alley, find a discarted syringe with AIDS and stab every SJW in the planet with it? It’s free, highly effective and they would suffer a slow painful death

I’m going to argue that they’ll probably infect others before they die so I propose to round ’em up and throw them into the industrial-scale meat grinder.

Least we can market their remains as high-quality ??? meat, thanks to their (supposedly) health diet.

Profits goes into maintaining and building new meat grinders.

I’ll get my torch and gasoline.

They can go on and paint me as an immoral monster. I enjoy shitstorms.

Grab the popcorn. Cancer can’t touch me, otherwise it gets cancer.

Games were for fun right? Right?

And yes, I believe this is self-censorship if they’re truly speaking the truth. Which is the worst type.

Which comes from ignorance or fear. In our case it’s ignorance, since they think this would actually make people play their games, when the actual truth is that they’re deterring their actual customers.

No one sane wants to support censorship, I as hell will never do such a thing.

I guess I’ll have to really pirate everything now.

It’ll impact them, which should be enough to tell them that they shouldn’t censor their game.

You’ve contradicted yourself, and you’re also minimizing the whole debacle.

And pirating isn’t stealing, it’s copying.

So its better to steal than to buy it? You wouldn’t go to walmart or some other place and steal something just because they made you mad correct? Well then its not ok to do it here no matter the reason because stealing is not ok and 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

Yes I’ve stole things in the past when I was younger and it was wrong then too. If you have a problem with something just don’t buy it. Even buying it used still tells them you want the game.

FFS, Ono! There are people who are offended at everything! You can’t please these monsters.

The kinds of people that would get morally righteous about a butt slap would never let themselves enjoy a game where you play as characters with as much skin showing as R. Mika to begin with. As with almost any other case of censorship I’ve seen over the years, it’s not going to get new customers but merely alienate previously existing customers.

“So we can’t have something in the game that makes people think, “This is not acceptable.”
I think censorship is not acceptable, now what? Fuck Capcom.

“We didn’t make any change because of external influences”
And I’m Santa.

You understand, don’t you, that you are self-censoring every single time you decide not to do or say something because it might piss off or upset a friend, or because it’s impolite, or because it will get you into a long conversation you don’t want to have?

I honestly don’t know if I’m talking to someone here who has any experience of socialising outside the internet, so it might be that the behaviour I describe above is totally alien to you.

CENSORSHIP & The New Tyrants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbiKq-kgXUc

He’s a troll don’t bother.

Funnily enough, the two persons who upvoted him are also the biggest retards on this website

Literally the only time I had to step around egg shells around friends were friends I had on the internet because its so easy for then to turn on you on the internet though you could also say its because they are shitty friends

Grow some balls. If you’re so worried about offending your friends then you need to get new friends. Friends don’t let friends become spineless pussies.

Now you’re moving the goalposts. I was specifically talking about friends. Don’t change the subject to try and prove your shitty point.
You can’t change definitions whenever you want. It is removing artisitic integrity. The designer wanted the ass slap in as part of her character and they are being shamed for it.

#boycottStreetFighter when?

That guy’s a crybaby? I’d say the crybabies are SJWs. Or, crybullies, that is.

The principle of the matter is this: adults shouldn’t control what other adults can see. period

Moving a camera up is not censorship.

Taking out Bikinis and breat silders is.

A camera angle IS NOT censorship

How old are you 12? You resort to gay slurs because you’re wrong. People like you get beat up in real life. and left to die in pools of their own blood.

Triggered!

Yeah, that might be one of the solutions.

If they don’t want to offend people, thus they censor, then let’s get offended at the censorship so they have to think twice about it.

If the audience can get that done then they might stop censoring.

I’m honestly glad right about now that I never cared for SF in the first place.

“we must protect people’s sensible feelings”
Fuck this gay earth

By the time it ends we’ll both be long gone.

Fuck no. The source of this problem is women, and with women getting more and more power it’s only going to continue to get worse. Men were right to think women are too emotional to make rational decisions.

I like the behavior but I’m not missing out on the game either because of this. Forget that.

What the fuck?

Straight out of Harrison Bergeron.

And E.X. Troopers.

Self-censorship is a form of censorship, you goddamn tool.

“self-censorship

noun

1.

the regulation of a group’s actions and statements by its own members rather than an external agency”

Capcom’s developers created the buttslap animation, then it was “regulated” by other members of the same group (in all likelihood, some SJW Westerners involved in localization who aren’t even real developers).

“‘Ok, there is this issue here, but it is within the limits’.”

I work at a Hospital, if somebody get me their addresses I’m sure I can hook up these people with prescriptions for the pair of testicles / ovaries they all seem to have lost somewhere along the road. Instant. No problemo~.

probably “internally” as advised by consulting or localization agency

Hey guys, guess what’s coming to steam that didn’t do this, and is more fun anyway. http://store.steampowered.com/app/376300/

It also hasn’t ruined its art-style in a clumsy transition to 3D.

pretty much yeah, I’m stoked

You sound pretty offended. This entire comments section sounds very offended. So … pot meet kettle?

What a great fucking image, Lol

Part of the problem might be that they’re unaware of the huge disconnect between mainstream gaming media and actual gamers.

Which is understandable, they’re far away from all that’s been going on.

The solution to that would be up to the fanbase to give them a loud and clear message: The media no longer represents the audience so please disregard it.

Relax people nobody is taking away your games.

They are just cultivating a culture of fear and self censorship and occasionally cause offline or online retailer or two not to stock a game. Until Publishers and Developers are beaten into submission in which point they will be releasing tokenized minority games, that resemble a gray mold in fear of offending anybody.

Totally not the same thing.

Except that they are also taking away our games. Idea Factory just told us not too long ago that there are Compile Heart games they’re not bringing over because they and Compile Heart don’t want to censor them.

“We’re not going to kill you or anything if you fail to pay your protection money. It’ll just be…unfortunate.”

please shit on me capcom protect me capcom BLOOD is GOOD BOOBS ARE BAD

Thats an unusual strawman but im bored so ill bite (assuming you, like the person you replied to, are referring to me)

I actually dont like violence and gore either (gonna stop here to say, entirely personal, not something I push on others). I accept violence more readily because in most cases its a necessary story device. Sexual content is almost always just mindless fanservice

-Sexual content is almost always just mindless fanservice.
You can have a good game with fanservice. A playful buttslap is not equivalent to penetration at all.

And people can simply ignore content they don’t like instead of crusading to remove it in the form of political correctness. “I DONT LIKE THING” Good for you, don’t buy the product then! It is a petty and absolutely spineless change.

I dont even like Street Fighter. Or asses. So either way, no

Nice try projecting your tastes onto others though

Not all love the butt love

Please do tell me how the removal of the butt slap will increase sales.
Do you think any person out there offended by the butt slap wouldn’t be offended by Mika as a whole, or Cammy and Laura’s costumes? Do you think they would see this news and go “Wow, now that Mika’s butt is out of the picture I sure want to buy SF5!”
Heck, let’s even take your average, ignorant consume. He see the SFV trailer with Zangief, Ryu, Cammy, Chun Li, and more. And then he sees Mika and goes “WHOAAA THAT’S TOO MUCH! Not gonna buy this game anymore”. Does that strike you as believable behavior?
Of course I’m not American so perhaps “safe spaces” really have grown to encapsulate such thoughts…

If their reason is “business”, then they’re having the wrong reason.

“Normie gamers outnumber us in the millions”

Normie gamers won’t stop playing the game or start playing the game because of a fucking buttslap. This is why you’re wrong.

“Now I agree that they probably dont care about this and the decision was probably wrong but a LOT of the non-SJW population is also very puritanical”

Again, you have a distorted notion of reality. We’ve already talked about this, you think that because you’re a puritan (you said it yourself, you dislike both violence and sex) everyone else is too.

“Of course Capcom is going to think about them even if they make the wrong call”

Their actions don’t portray what you’re saying. They’re not thinking of new customers and they’re alienating their current ones.

“They literally said they want to reach as many people as possible but ok, keep making stuff up”

Yeah, ok, fine, they said it. So how are they doing this, by the way?

Oh I know, they’re removing a buttslap. That will make droves of people move to SFV!

They also removed a camera angle for Cammy. That’ll make even my mother play it!

“We’ve noticed that our grass is too green, we made it a slightly lighter green, we hope this’ll make you buy SFV.”

“Also the SF community formed around solid fighting mechanics not ass.”

The SF community is made out of gamers, young and old, that want their games not to be censored for no reason. That’s not why people are specifically mad.

They’re mad that Capcom is bowing to political correctness. That they’re making senseless changes. Not because of a butt slap.

“They’re alienating ecchi fans specifically sure.”

I think you’re taking “mental” a bit too far. Do you really believe these words you just wrote? They’re alienating people that hope they won’t have to deal with more “don’t offend anyone” bullcrap.

You’re really out of touch with reality though. Considering how everything else in the game appeases to what you define as “ecchi fans”, e.g. just look at Chun Li’s costumes.

Besides that, you also think that people that like sexuality or suggestive themes in their games are a minority. Topfuckingkek.

“Also im not a puritan at all. I have no desire to force my tastes on anyone. Strawman away though, makes things easier”

You don’t have to force your tastes on anyone to be a puritan. Will you next tell me that “puritans” don’t exist because it’s a group of the 16th century?

I’m a force of nature, you can’t stop me.

Do I need to remind you how much a pathetic arrogant and hypocritical coward you are, faggot?

This comment screams “I’m totally not mad”

If you had any experience of socialising outside of WRPGs and Otome games you’d know that normal humans don’t start pointless arguments with people they like regardless of if they’re right or not

It’s not about dishonesty, it’s a little thing called “tact”. Do you go around making pointless conflict and end up so alienated that your only source of social reassurance is circle jerking on Nichegamer, or do you leave some things that aren’t worth talking about alone?

Especially considering that pretty much no one I know could give less of a shit about any of this. They aren’t bloody gamergaters or SJWs. Normies don’t give a fuck about this and as I said on that other article, i’m not a keyboard crusader. I’m not wasting my time trying to make people care about it

So why argue with them?

If they don’t know and don’t care about any of this censorship debacle then if they were to see me talking about it all they would see is me talking about the virtues of anime titties or loli rape or whatever the current outrage is focused on

So instead of trying to talk them into joining in with all this nonsense it’s easier just to not talk to them about it, and if I were hypothetically to talk to them about censorship i’d pick a less egregious example than the Yohjo Simulator one since it’d be a much easier and smoother discussion

Because based on my experience with this site, people who are like me are completely insufferable (and yes I know how you’re going to twist that statement back around on me but oh well)

Maybe if you weren’t so incapable of thinking in anything but black and white you’d understand how idiotic every single thing about that statement was. I mean for starters the concept of “normie” actually has literally no meaning other than a made up derogatory term social pariahs use to feel good about themselves

That “us or them” mentality is ridiculous. You genuinely believe there’s no nuance in human personalities? It’s either 100% kick your feet about anime titties, censorious marxist or generic normie. Nothing else exists?

Believe it or not people who aren’t “normal” can have friends (which seems to be the common standard for calling someone a normie) simply by not being an emotionally and psychologically stunted jackass who thinks it’s perfectly reasonable to go around calling anyone he disagrees with a faggot. There’s a reason people don’t like you and it sure as shit aint because you’re not a “normie”

And that “us or them” mentality is on both ends. What do you think normies do if not suppress the things the non-normies enjoy? You’re a god damned idiot m8.

What is a normie?

So basically a internet virgin. A person who has yet to be corrupted by the internet. A person still pure. Do they still exists?

And really you shouldn’t be basing anything in reality on internet comments. I mean really, just this site? You just decided everyone like you is a jerkoff because someone (else) with an anime avatar rightfully called you a faggot? Piss off. Stop caring so god damned much about what people think of you, and be true to yourself every once in a while. Unless you are being true to yourself. In that case have you considered changing?

I don’t see the edge you’re referring to at all lol.

Not at all. What would we talk about anyway? If I have to walk on eggshells like a guy who just got his balls chopped off then I’d rather not bother.

That’s completely untrue. The internet is a big place you know.

Nice try? So you’re saying that you’re actually a normie after all, and all your friends are normies too? Well then why did you ever pretend you have to have tact at all? You’re the same as them.

I’m just genuinely curious. I don’t have a problem with bold-faced lies at times but man. You make it sound like you’re never honest.

Well firstly you’re making huge assumptions about my reasons for not liking those things, despite the fact that you don’t know a thing about me (or anything else, evidently). It’s nothing to do with morality I simply find no enjoyment in it. So essentially unless you retract your statement, your argument boils down to “ANYONE WITH DIFFERENT TASTES TO MINE IS A PURITAN”. I’m sure even you can see how ridiculous that is

Moving on, you’re still doing it. You’re arguing as if I think Capcom’s decision was a good one despite my statement to the contrary several times now. My point was never that they made the right decision stop arguing that point and either try to refute that their intention was business related or stop replying

My ENTIRE point, again, since you seem to ignore me every time I say it, is that this was not motivated by censorship. Even if they were trying to appease a crowd that often calls for censorship, the decision was motivated by trying to sell the game to said people, not by those people screeching at them about oppression till they changed it. Hence, “the decision was made internally”

Trying to appeal to more people isn’t business? I just can’t even fathom how you managed to reach such an ass-backwards conclusion frankly

The point is that they were TRYING to do that, not that they’re going to succeed. You seem to think that just because they made the wrong call it proves that they did it for another reason. People’s business decisions don’t always succeed

Also the statements you highlighted don’t contradict because when they say “external influences” they mean “pressure from X offended groups”, not “the mere existence of different demographics”. People keep claiming that as a contradiction and it’s ridiculous. It’s either poor logic or intentionally disingenuous

Also i’ll just ignore your lazy insistence on ad hominem since it’s beneath me

You’re actually so absurd I can’t even fathom what it must be like to live in such a perpetual hell of paranoia and assumption

They didn’t “prove” it to be censorship at all. Your entire point can be whittled down to “ANY CUTS MADE TO A GAME ARE CENSORSHIP” because you refuse to accept the possibility that another reason to make said cut exists. If they’d cut something that wasn’t widely considered “offensive” would you be doing the same or just going “eh, it’s quality control/ business/ etc”

Your premise is flawed because it precludes the possibility of any reason to change a product pre-release besides censorship. And you think i’m retarded???

Just because they’re going to fail to get a bigger audience from a business decision doesn’t mean it wasn’t one, that was already established

And your point about external influences once again, completely ignores nuance. They were obviously referring to offended busybodies, not the very existence of things outside of the studio that might influence internal decisions, this is not difficult at all. Businesses literally have to consider the outside world or they will go bankrupt, you’re being ridiculous

Of course it refers to them but they didn’t actually DO anything so it’s not external influences in the way you’re implying it is. As I said, it’s literally just the mere existence of groups with certain beliefs. People alter products for that reason on a daily basis. I haven’t seen a SINGLE instance of someone actually calling for this to be edited so it’s hardly as if the “evil SJWs” have forced Capcom to change it

And you literally just proved yourself wrong with that definition of censorship because this work hasn’t been suppressed, it was cut willingly by the original creators pre-release as a business decision made to try to appeal to a wider audience, you utter moron. Good job

Also kek at someone quoting definitions who doesn’t know how to use the word retard properly

“Completely unintelligent” isn’t the definition of retard, it’s an actual handicap. Nice try dumbass (except it wasn’t, really, i’m humouring you)

At this point you’ve become a complete joke. It literally hasn’t been suppressed in any way shape or form. The creators CHOSE to cut it, that’s not being suppressed. You’re just salty that they decided to target a different demographic to you. That’s hardly censorship

The key point here is choice. They had a choice. They chose to cut it. They weren’t forced in any way. Do you know what suppression is???

I do know what self censorship is, that being not a thing that has any value as a concept. The idea that editing something willingly before release is as bad as being forced into cutting it is so utterly absurd

So yes, you really are just salty that they changed it to target a demographic you don’t fit. The reasons don’t matter, it was a choice. Censorship is something that is done to you. “Self censorship” is just newspeak for “editing” that people like you use to fabricate controversies when no real censorship happened

Also kek at using a made up modern definition of retard because you know EXACTLY what it was originally used for. Though i’m sure if someone used a made up definition of sexism or told you that censorship is only done by governments you’d tell them they can’t use new definitions

You haven’t debunked anything because if they had a choice the reason they made that choice doesn’t matter, as I already said. Which is why self censorship is a worthless concept. They WILLFULLY made a CHOICE to do something because they WANTED to try to draw in a different demographic. They put that demographic ahead of you. You can’t admit that you’re salty about it so you’re fabricating a “censorship” issue that doesn’t exist

If you’re going to claim you’ve debunked something, put forth a worthwhile counterpoint to what i’m actually saying. Where in this equation did they not exercise their artistic freedom? Nowhere. They just made a decision with it that you disapprove of. They had complete artistic freedom and this is the decision that they came to. That’s it. If you can’t understand that then I have to just assume you’re being willfully disingenuous to, as I said, fabricate a controversy

It is in fact possible to CHOOSE not to offend people, believe it or not. Especially if you believe it to be a viable business decision. At this point it really just comes down to what assumptions you’re willing to make about their intentions and is a completely pointless discussion

Businesses are all about making money so I think the most likely reason for them to do this is that they think these people will now buy the game. I still believe, as I’ve said before, that they were wrong, but if they did it for that reason it’s unreasonable to call it censorship since it’s actually just an edit

But whatever. If you think it’s censorship and won’t buy it then by all means

It’s self-censorship. But we can easily assume, that the decision was made because of some gaijin SJW faggots in localization complaining about “muh soggy kneez”. Hence, it was in fact an internal decision. Because the goddamn social justice faggots are infiltrating Japanese developers via localization and such to push their own progressive views, the views of the original developers be damned.

Yeah, a crazy conspiracy theory. It’s not like it’s ever happened before.
SJWs aren’t entering Asian companies as localization staff to subvert the products or anything like that.

This is why we don’t ask randoms for advice on what is “business”.

People that buy this shit won’t go to Google and write in “Is there anything slightly remotely suggestive in any way? If yes, I won’t buy it.”.

“Self censorship is an idiotic concept.”
Looks like someone never went to art courses
Francisco de Goya would like a word with you

Remember guys, don’t get roped into tedious arguments about semantics over the word “censorship”. The first thing SJWs will do when confronted with censorship is to try to redefine the word, so focus on the negative effects political pressure has on creators and cite past disasters to creative freedom like the Comics Code Authority.

Give the 1954 code criteria a read, it will probably sound very familiar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics_Code_Authority#1954_Code_criteria

A few highlights:

-Suggestive and salacious illustration or suggestive posture is unacceptable.

-Females shall be drawn realistically without exaggeration of any physical qualities.

-Nudity with meretricious purpose and salacious postures shall not be permitted in the advertising of any product; clothed figures shall never be presented in such a way as to be offensive or contrary to good taste or morals.

Well, this just went from day 1 to whatever day it get’s heavily discounted on Steam. I wonder how low it’ll go during the 2016 Summer sale?

And I REALLY hope they don’t censor Chun Li’s dress (those things are ridiculous in a good way lol) or Cammy either.

I swear, one step forward and two steps back with these companies… >_<

Well I am primarily a PC gamer, so of course lol.

As for modders… If the original files/animations are still there sure. If Capcom has removed them entirely or does so before release… Well, I don’t think modders could re-create them from scratch.

I’m glad I’m better with a keyboard than I am with a controller when it comes to fighting games.

Not any different from the consoles (i.e. X-Factor in MvC3).

It’s when you press all the attack buttons and your character glows red and his/her attacks do more damage.

No you just need to know all the shortcuts lol. 😉

“Save Image Ass”

But that’s to hard 😛

Not really, it was made in good old marvel vs capcom with one of the morrigan winning animations. You change one animation for another. Both already exist.

Why would someone who gets offended by a butt slap play a fighting game? Surely fighting is worse? I don’t understand the logic here.

Cover up women, because showing skin is haram, but beating them is okay 😀
Nice messages 😀

Yep! missing teeth, internal bleeding, fractured skulls, broken bones, and other injuries? That’s fine! Carry on~

Butt slap or panty shot? Oh dear, such an obscene material!

>goes off to buy 50 shades of BDSM

That’s not a good comparison. The game has fighting as its main interest. Sexualization isn’t. You could take that out of the game and it would still be a fighting game.

The game is about violence tho and that’s what it sells on. You can take the odd sexuality parts out and the game would still work as it. So why do you have to use an extreme to make a point here that has nothing to do with anything? Ono quote is stupid but yours doesn’t make sense either. Its not like they are even taking out sexualized clothing, they just changed the angles.

Ya know I expected better of you since I see you around often.

maybe it’s time to flood their steam forum?

What a fucking pile of drivel. All I heard was “A bunch of fat ugly lesbian feminists get jealous over a sexy fictional ass and we are scared they will drag our name through the mud with their hysterical blabbering”. Honestly, since when did the people who made our games turn into such fucking pussies?

I take up on your offer & how much it cost me.

You could do a God of war show boobs with nipples like western games are, don’t forget to add the token loli for maximum effect.

& see the SJWs forming at the mouths & shit starting to fly.

Day one buy😊

Well you got to chose from these girls, but these are not original girls no these are monster-girls with-out ages to them.

As cartoon characters go they don’t have ages the mind warped SJWs do give them age.

Example any sane person would know you talking about video-games but for others when they see 8 year old in your commet. I bet they would flip out. Because they think you talking about real girl that age. & easily to triggered. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/515b5e74eeb93bc75eada7c654efb1457dc0acee301ae4faa8798c083259fe7b.jpg

So I enclosed this photo. 😊

lol is that sarcastic in your post or you are serious?

It is from monster Monpiece but I doubt you go to jail why I already imported it over a year ago way before the censored version come out,

& my copy went through customs alright they even open up the parcel lol..

Got moe chronicics the same way though play-asis & criminal girls both uncensored & I be getting moe crystal too. 😊

This time you be looking for bra & pantiess 😈

That’s very intreasting that I’m from the UK & apparently as people keep saying it’s illegal in UK but if that the case why each time I get my games though custom & senran kagura the most rude ever rated uncensored by PEGI.

Even those pics are not child porn HENTAI on the other hand is basically pornograpic but still legal though manga gamer & steam allow uncensored patch to they games.

Well here Moero chronicics cover let hope you get the less explicit cover art & not this one. But it still tame. Just panty shot. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/602f607b8624940e75b91b4e3abcfb6b3eab0764d1de68adef43d78d0d5d7e61.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8288b47e448d94af7a8eafbb6fec248cb088d832fdff8d8beb13dbf890b787c5.jpg

Hope you get it & not jail time.

When will it be due to arrive?

As for me I found out from PEGI emails then I took the decision to import.

Only if you live in a shit third-world country like Sweden.

Oh yeah. I heard that country was doomed since the “ITS CURRENT YEAR” PM was elected.
I’m sorry you have to go through that shit.

Your socialist countries are basically ruled by SJW cancer/ radfems lol.

Yeah, that’ll show ’em.

(I think it’s glorious that you’re planning on wasting your time on such a project).

Well gaming is for everyone, including neckbeards.

I might come back in a week or so and screenshot this comment section and email it to the pearl clutching twats at Capcom to show how they are alienating their Western fan base. Or maybe I will just pass on their fucking game entirely. And to think these people are university educated. Fucking unbelievable, it really is.

Then you don’t understand what the term means.

I was seriously going to buy the game too, but I don’t buy censored games on principle.

Its not going to flop at all, bravely default nor fire emblem flopped and they had a ton of censored content. SF5 is way bigger than those 2 and the majority of people don’t give a crap about the censorship.

Anyone offended by butt slap deserves to be offended.

boycott is pointless. Street Fighter has a very loyal fanbase and that includes myself. Something as small as a buttslap removal will not stop me from playing the game.

Then you might as well be an SJW yourself. You should think about getting your hair dyed rainbow colors.

Either boycott the game (or at least make sure you buy a used copy), or exacerbate the problem. The choice is obvious.

It’s not just about feminism, feminism is only one of the heads of the hydra that is leftwing extremism. They complain about anything that doesn’t match their Marxist socialist ideology. For example, Polygon bitched and moaned endlessly about the lack of “diversity” in Witcher 3.

If there were no “external influences”, that just means SJWs have infiltrated the company. Almost certainly gaijin from the localization department started stirring up shit.

Also this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq5dNcrHE8w

Starting a fighting game is a pretty hard task, especially if you don’t have someone to guide you through it. But as many dicks as there are in the FGC who tell new players to fuck off simply because they didn’t start earlier, there are also a lot of players who really like to help out new players.
I’m not particularly great either due to lack of training partners (I live in Germany, and there basically is no FGC here), I’d be happy to help anyone who needs help to learn the fundamentals which are by far the most important.

While I could see it as being “too small” of a change, it’s on top of a large stack of changes that have been happening in the gaming community as a whole that could be seen as censorship or is flat out censorship to appease a demographic that it’s not catering to in the first place. In the spirit of trying to pick up as many customers as possible and make more money in the end. While small, the reaction is probably merited.

I was sincerely going to buy Street Fighter V until they did this, but I don’t knowingly buy censored games on principle. Fuck I already bought a fight stick too.

I’m quite amazed that a fair share of publishers and developers opt to hear the mainstream media instead of their fans, who have supported them all this years…

The ‘tards who think that a butt slap is “unacceptable” also feel the same way about Laura. Stop catering to these morons, they are not going to buy your games.

We should listen to Dandy

Let’s role boys

Hah, the same bullshit circus. Dumb PR statement /clearly/ pandering to an invisible demographic of people that they don’t want to offend, whilst also claiming not to be pressured by anyone. Which is likely true, and that’s what makes it stupid. The sort of people who would be offended by R Mika’s buttslap are likely offended by R Mika herself, so exactly who are we winning over by removing this animation? Pfffft. Whatever. Same shit different day. Another developer kowtowing to the perpetually offended for no damn reason, when the content of the game remains vastly the same.

Maybe they’ll have the intelligence to put in a “blood code” like Mortal Kombat’s…

I am offended by your thought that you could offended me with such a trivial matter Capcom.
get your facts straight and just create the game you originally intended, stop thinking about other peoples thought and make the game you wanted. Its art, not a sandwich

*sigh* Yeah….let’s cater to people who weren’t going to buy the game in the first place make these kinds of changes that still won’t get these people to buy the game but cow-tow to them for token lip-service in a vain attempt make the Twitter/Tumblr/BS Game-journalist site crowd shower you with praise. Ignoring the fact that the majority of your fans don’t give a damn about what these characters do or look like and will still make you a shit ton of money.

But yeah, the lesson we are learning of the modern game industry, if a small group of people are offended/going to be offend by what is in your game, just censor everything and make everyone boring grey blobs.

What’s next? Monster hunter burqa armor?

I’m still amazed how no one bitched about that Qurupeco’s armor what with that whole whinefest about the tomahawk class from bravely second.

I love how all of the screaming about feminism is causing Japanese developers to either not release their games in the West or otherwise sanitize them to the point where they feel like they have no personality.

I’m not buying your game, Capcom. Cowards who tremble before the bitching of Tumblr social marxists and the morality police don’t deserve my money.

Idea Factory and XSEED are one of the few companies that i still respect and give my money day one,it’s getting rarer and rarer as time passes.

>We want Street Fighter V to be approachable; accessible

It’s ruined.

Spoilers: it won’t.

Well now I’m offended by weak willed developers so that’s one less customer!

100% bullshit
Senran Kagura is T

T rating

Did you even play 4 and 5? 4 had Christie in a strip club which tbh is way more risque. And 5 has costumes that barely cover up the characters at all. That’s way more than what R.Mika has in SF5. And I-no in GG Xrd has a win pose where she goes topless and you see sideboob and that’s a T rating.

Everything that needs to be said has been. Unless they go back on this I won’t be getting SFV.

On the one hand, this kind of minor edit is unlikely to change anyone’s overall impression of the game, so it seems rather pointless.

On the other, the overreaction is predictably ludicrous. Developers have been toning down nudity and sexiness in their games for decades. There’s probably a tonne more of it that goes on behind the scenes. They’re basically going to be constantly calibrating the amount of it in their games to get the balance right so that titillation doesn’t cross into grossing people out, and in order to appeal to, as they say here, the widest audience possible.

These guys are probably running all kinds of marketing tests to get feedback on where that line is, and at what point potential new players feel turned off. I very, very, very much doubt the testimonies of a handful of perma-offended Gamergaters is going to make them change their mind about how to pitch it right.

“They’re basically going to be constantly calibrating the amount of it in

Beating the shit out of women is fine but absolutely no ass slaps in a teasing manner? It’s this level of hypocrisy that sickens people.
Nice job assuming people getting offended are gamergaters. I give no fucks about their consumer revolt or movement, whatever it is now. What I do give a damn about is a knee-jerk reaction to an ass slap in a game where you can beat the shit out of women. Capcom has absolutely no balls and rightly deserve the bashing. They even contradicted themselves in their own statement.

It’s not the ass slap that is the problem, it’s their reasoning for removing it.

“perma-offended Gamergaters” Who called for play-asia to be boycotted and reported again?

Oh that’s right, you and your worthless mates.

I hate this generation.

Even better, purchase it second-hand – at 75% off later.

I can bet you the majority of you weren’t going to buy anyway. Just like the outrage over MKX and any other game that had people rally up over. It never hurts the company, the only thing that changes is you don’t play the game you wanted to play. But yes that’ll show em >_>.

Why couldnt they just add a “Make the game PC” checkbox in the options menu ?

With all their talk about not making you buy multiple versions of the game and having additional characters be unlockable, for the first time since maybe Alpha 3 I was going to buy a Street Fighter game on or near launch.

They’ve lost a sale and a fan. I won’t be purchasing products pandering to the perpetually offended. Particularly sad when they probably wouldn’t touch a competitive fighting game to begin with.

When Japan starts caving, you know we’re screwed.

It’s still censorship no matter how you slice it. Capcom lost all respect for me. But oh, when they have characters like Gill, Oro, Urien, and other people with only a single layer of clothes and/or showing muscles, it’s okay. I’m not trying to sound like a SJW but when people pull stuff like that, I don’t think they’re aware of the double standards.

Just because you changed things and not to expect people to feel “uncomfortable” with something like that doesn’t mean the people who were okay with it in the first place won’t be pissed because of your pussification.

Jawsh Grohban here.

This some bullshit, ladies and gentlemen.

That won’t happen. Sony and MS would charge them for it. They should have the removal patch as an extra download.

So he’s saying these decisions were made to appeal to filthy casuals….
Street fighter is a franchise that’s been around for 20+ years now and anyone who calls themself a gamer has played at least one iteration. If they don’t like the game now, chances are they never will.

At the end of the day, it seems we’re doomed to repeat the past if we dont learn from it.

People still bought the game tho so that’s not a good example. The sega version just ended up selling more. There are only 2 choices for sf5 so its either PC or ps4 and the amount of people that care about this stuff with sf5 isn’t that many. There hasn’t been a game in the last few years that didn’t sell because of something being censored.

So the self censored because of SJW rhetoric. This is exactly what the SJW press has been pushing for for 10 years.

Games used to have that with blood filters.
Maybe that’s what we need to suggest for game companies now?
To have some trigger filter for the non existant sjw audience?
Of course that won’t stop them from whining but it would give everyone a way to tell them to shut up and turn their special snowlfake filter on.

That wouldn’t work because the issue these people have is with others not having a problem with or liking this stuff.

These people aren’t interested in the game, they’re only interested in pushing their agenda and forcing others to conform to their ideas.

And I thought Japan was the only place that still had balls enough. Well then.

You know what Capcom fuck you. You’ve been nothing but shit this generation and it’s pissing me the fuck off. Don’t buy this bullshit about how you this wasn’t influenced by outside sources. You know Goddamn well who influenced this decision and now you pussies are afraid of a bunch of fucking brats. Now I know that when Kamiya left the balls of Capcom went with him.

You didn’t give a shit when you offended your customers with you bullshit business practices such as killing Megaman, changing Devil May Cry when you didn’t need to, and making us pay more for a whole game. And now you censor your games because of SJW’S. But now you care about a bunch of spoiled whiners who WEREN’T GONNA BUY YOUR GAME ANYWAYS!

I won’t be buying this game at all and I encourage others to do the same. You better thank the fact that you still have Monster Hunter and Dragon’s Dogma otherwise I’d ban you as a company. FUCK YOU CAPCOM AND FUCK YOU SJW’S YOU’VE POISONED MY HOBBY YA GODDAMN CUNTS!!! YOU AIN’T MESSING WITH GAME GAMES MY FUCKING ASS.

When will developers and localizers understand that these kinds of people aren’t even gamers to begin with?
¬¬’

Sorry shitlord. That misogynistic objectification is problematic.

How many of you have typed out a stern, well thought out letter and sent it to a company?

You’d be amazed how often you get a reply when you send a message through snail mail.

So you censor the butt slap, but keep Cheerleader Rebecca in the RE Zero remake
as pre-order bonus.

…what’s the difference? Why aren’t both okay? Both seem titillating to me.

If in between the beta periods they had changed the animation entirely while ensuring that it still fit well with her character, I’m sure nobody would have taken issue. Instead, Capcom when the lazy route and shifted the camera angle, which got people asking questions leading to the current situation we have right now.

GET OVER IT! I am still buying it! LOL. Go Get married and commit to your spouse you pathetic losers

LOL your image of “trolls” being “miserable.” I got too many games to play to even care about stuff being taken out. I am still buying it! If your mad, DON’T buy it. At least companies like Xseed and Atlus are taking a stand. Now if this game came out with some BS money grabbing $$ practice, then I would join your guys rally lol

I didn’t admit anything. But goodluck with your boycott. Buying day one! XD

Yeah! Then spend your time like this twat, trying to get a reaction on comment sections!

I hope you’re happy with these lost sales, Capcom. There’s probably a lot more where these came from.

Unfortunately, outside of H-games, it is fairly rare to know whether something is uncut from the get go. You’ll have to wait for every game to come out first more or less.

Legions of twatter hordes with pitch forks and torches.

So now neo-puritan American norms are seeping through to Japan. Because this act of censorship will be reflected in the Japanese version of SFV as well. We are inching closer and closer to the point where devs that are aiming primarily for the Japanese market aren’t going to bother localising their games anymore because they won’t be interested in compromising their integrity to appeal to the politically correct non-buyers. The golden years of almost boundless localisation of Japanese games might be over in a few years and we are only going to be left with “safe” and “unproblematic” games. Or butchered stuff.

The thing is, the people they are trying to please do not buy their game and will STILL bitch about the game. So in the end they only pissed off their own fanbase.

Well I said before to give them the benefit of the doubt until someone from the company explained. Now that’s gone. Pathetic, Crapcom.

Now it’s a buttslap. Next we’ll have companies not wanting to release games here at all (i.e. DOAX3).

You put it way to nicely, in my opinion, starting from ZERO means getting rid of your current audience

“We placate the lowest common denominator” said Capcom, deciding SF has to join CoD in the shit tier franchises.

Thank god Guilty Gear Xrd is way too good.
