My apologies if this has already been discussed, but has anyone noticed that Guiles sprite in SvC suffers from worse changed head syndrome than Iori's has in the past few years? I just booted up SvC on the PS2 and I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. Check his head when he is standing still, then check it while he is walking forward or backwards. As if by magic his head grows in size, his hair gets smaller and his muscles suddenly look larger. It's almost as if the walking animations were ripped directly out of SF2 Turbo, while the standing pose was re-drawn.

Maybe I am just seeing things, and maybe this has been discussed before, I dunno. This is about the first time I have actually tried to play as Guile seriously, so I hadn't noticed it before. What do you guys think?

Yeah, I mentioned that a while back... he has sideburns, then doesn't... head shrinks and grows. It's a joke. What a shitty job.

Yeah... I mean, don't get me wrong, I actually like the game, and I've never bitched about this kind of thing *that* much before, but this really irks me. Thankfully I don't play as Guile as much, but still... that's fucking lazy. :very_ang:

Not only guile almost all the SF people.Just look carefully when you use ken and Ryu when they do a dragon pun or hurrican kick on an SNK character and see they look much bigger.

I checked again and I haven't noticed anything with any other characters to be honest. Guile still looks bad imho, although I don't think it is a rehash of the SF2 sprite as that does look very different (I just loaded up SF2 on the PS2). It's probably just bad work on the part of the SNKP artists or something.

Here's what I mean, although it looks MUCH worse when you see it in action:

Check how much bigger his head is and how different the trousers/boots etc look, and his hair :)

Yeah, i have noticed it.The other capcom characters animate just fine incluing hugo.

Another thing is that Ryu's entire voice sample seems to be directly ripped from the CvS series.You will notice it when he says hadoken.His sprite along with the other shotos are very well done.

I love this game.....but mostly capcom characters ive noticed, Ken,Ryu look a little distorted- Especially Guile, man what a dissapointment......the head growing thing......if it werent for you guys taking this subject up, I would have never noticed really.....for the longest time I couldnt figure out why Guile looked weird that SUPER BIG hair was a bit overdone, and his fighting stance seems to have made him look a little more timid during a battle...I dont know what it is but it seems as though all other Military Characters in other fighting games look tougher and have super cool moves, but Guile seems to have had NO real adavncements , and has seemed lost that edge over the years as a fun kick ass character to play with....:oh_no:

Its not that bad. I think this is because of angles and what not. It's not something I ever noticed. only gripe i have is the magic color change of Ioris head
