To be fair, I bet native Africans want to distance themselves from African-Americans. That said, this shows our unrealistic self-importance. I say "we," because, you know...

I dont mind pants on Cammy. I've always loved the camo-pants Cammy design.
But something just seems off about her SF6 design and I just dont like the new pants on her. I know some people are like "OMG TEH YOGA PANTS!" but I think its the blandest and weakest part of the design.
I do like Cammy's SF6 mini-jacket with the British flag on the back. I think her SF6 design would have been better if she wore a leotard under the jacket, similar to say the Major from Ghost of the Shell. Or even something like blue jeans that would better match the jacket if they're going for like a Casual Cammy.
Cammy with ripped up skinny jeans kind of calling back to the camo on her legs in SF2/SFA and how they were kind of like slashes would actually be pretty cool, I think. Kind of the inverse of her classic look. Instead of bare legs with slashes of paint, its covered legs with slashes of exposed leg.

that cammy outfit with the camo pants is my favorite too, its super good
cause it radically changes how certain situations in the game can play out
for example, in a game with no parries, if you see someone jump in on you and your anti air execution is good, then you are pretty much guaranteed to successfully hit them out of the air.
but in a game with universal parry, the jumping player can predict and parry your anti air, and then punish the recovery.
this fundamentally changes the risk/reward of the situation for both sides, what was previously a pure reaction/spacing check now has another layer of mindgame/prediction on top of it all.
thats just one example, theres of course a lot more. parry on wakeup, parry out of block strings, parry after being minus on block, etc. theyre all different, whether the game is better with or without depends mostly on your personal preferences and tastes.

Only really controversial for the FGC.
Parrying changes how characters play drastically.
Like the fact in that famous moment with Daigo, had parry not existed, Justin Wong would of won. It's just an extra layer to learn when labbing a fighting game.

Yeah, SFIII had probably the best parrying mechanic i've in a fighting game. Is frame-by-frame.
Only a good player like Daigo can pulled that off in a inmortal way.
One of the reasons why in SFIV was nerfed as fuck.

Yes, as was said above, it's frame perfect. So it's really you pressing back on the stick at just the right moment.
It's like adding a Queen piece to Checkers

Daigo himself hates the parry system, and openly derided it on stream. Mago is another prominent player who hates parry. I personally don't care either way, but since you brought Daigo up.

Parry feels like it invalidates blocking, unless it's very limited I don't think I'll like it too much.

Red and Blue man is always five steps ahead of Bison. What I do not get is why did Gill turn Kolin into a jew? She was pretty all during the SFV's story mode but for doing exatcly what was asked of her she gets rewarded with a horse nose. Gill has some odd fetishes aside the obvious one of walking around wearing a thong and body paint.
And that brings me to my actual worry for SF6. It seems it will be centered around Metro City, cage fighting (guess Poison got that shit up and running) and Mad Gear. So that makes it very likley Belger will be the final boss. And kinds sucks you can not follow up Bison and Gill with an old man in a wheelchair.

I thought we weren't supposed to care about what "FGC pros" think though? Isn't giving any single one of them credence a part of the cancer that's killing video games?

I realize that this is incredibly unlikely to kill the SF franchise, but damned if it doesn't feel like a big ol' nail driven into it's coffin.
OT: Does anybody else think Red Earth had potential as a brawler instead of a fighting game?

I could see SNK "lending" Terry or perhaps Mai to SF 6 but I doubt Capcom will ever make a CvS 3 or they would allow SNK to make an SvC 2. At best, maybe Capcom lends Ryu for KOF 16 or Garou 2? Assuming Garou 2 ever happens.
Red Earth was fun but I doubt they'd ever bring it back. Would it have worked better as a traditional beat 'em up? Probably, but the cost of making those high quality CPS 3 sprites probably coerced Capcom to make it into an RPG/Fighter instead.

I think you are confusing me for someone else, I never said that. I only brought up that example since someone else referred to that authority, but that particular authority actually dislikes the mechanic too.
Also there seems to be a disconnect between younger and older players.
We don't see "pro" players, we see higher level players, we do not worship them like some youths do. They are our rivals who are superior to us at the moment.
I'll say there are two groups of players, when it comes to that eCeleb stuff.
You have "eSports" people, these are mostly younger people and tend to be lower level players that play only the latest Street Fighter and nothing else. They tend to also never actually participate in events and are terminally online.
Then you have the "Fight Game Community", we do not do the eCeleb worship thing, and we play a variety of games, and have our own preferred games at any given point in time. Skill level varies between lower level and the top. All ages are in here.
The eSports people are a minority here in Japan and other Asian countries I've been in. I get the feeling that they may be a loud minority in the USA as well from my interactions with the Western Fighting game Communities.
The majority of people belong to neither camps, and just have fun, and don't take it too seriously.
SFV is a deeply unpopular game among the fighting game community internationally, when I last checked, the most popular games were Guilty Gear Strive, and KOF15.

No, you did not, but you did seem favorable to a lot of the other guy's rather baseless sperging beforehand.
My remarks were, in fact, quite sarcastic in their intended tone given one of the points Mothman kept harping at me about was that somehow giving competitive, international tournament-participating, sponsored, "professional" players any acknowledgement of what they are in the most practical sense is somehow lending them any degree of meaningful credence. If even making reference to them at all is some kind of cardinal sin, then how is it any different when namedropping oldguard "pros" such as Daigo and Mago as examples? They're suddenly not exempt from it just because they may be crowd favorites.
In fact, even invoking Daigo Umehara as an example is, in a way, endemic of a degree of "celebrity worship", given his much acclaimed status as "the Beast" and how his name still garners varying degrees of respect, even if, as I understand it, he hasn't exactly been a consistent grand finals champion in major tourneys for a while. Hell, the "FGC" still holds a lot of other names as well in high regard – like Mago, Tokido, Justin Wong, Alex Valle, etc. – so to claim that "your" camp "doesn't do the eceleb worship thing" is a bit willfully ignorant and lacking in self-awareness at best.
I don't doubt for a minute that SFV is much maligned by most players. It certainly deserves to be. But that doesn't change the fact that it is still actively played regardless, even by the likes of players such as Daigo.
