I don't know if you have ever been exposed to a fighting game called "God Bless the Ring"?
After SQUARE released Final Fantasy VII that year, it was a great success, and its popularity had reached its peak at that time, so it cooperated with Namco to create a fighting game. Final Fantasy VII has been added as a selling point for some hidden protagonist elements.
The familiar Claude, Tifa, Sephiroth, and Yuffie are all in it, and the game combines some of the techniques and pitches of Namco's Tekken, as well as the location design of Soul Blade.
Tifa's image in this game.
Tifa is now the queen of the 3D zone, but for many players, the most important feeling is indeed the image of the early years, and the performance in "God Bless the Ring". Tifa is the most perfect goddess in the player's mind no matter what era, and the original image is as unforgettable as the first love.
The same is true of characters in other fighting games, and we always remember the characters in one of the versions very deeply, after all, it is our youth memories!
Many years later, those arcade games with sequels are almost all fighting games, and although the level games are often released freshly, they cannot maintain their popularity for a long time!
"Iron Fist", "Street Fighter", "King of Fighters", "Blade Soul", "VR Warrior", "Sin Gear", "Mortal Kombat", "Samurai Shodown", "Dead or Alive" these enduring fighting games, with the passage of time, 3D technology has become more and more mature, and the new version of the character painting style launched in the later period has become more and more exquisite.
I don't know what stage you are still at today for the aesthetics of the characters in these fighting games?
Mortal Kombat
The version that we were able to access at that time in the game hall was basically the first four works.
At this time, the "Mortal Kombat" series is all real people cut out of the action, live-action Kombat is worthy of the name. The actors fully display the personality and aura of all the characters. A domestic game called "Legend of the East East Undead" is a model of the design concept of this game.
The scale of the late "Mortal Kombat" is quite large, and these strange ways of dying have been accumulated in the previous few films. It's just that the technology at that time could not make such a heavy taste.
During the game hall period, players are more interested in hunting, and they are still very interested in the final skills, and take pleasure in it. Years later, Mortal Kombat began to take the 3D route, the art style is much better than before, and more realistic, the overall style of the game is dark, and the atmosphere is depressing.
No one in this game has an aura, and even the protagonist cannot escape the process of being brutally killed, and even the bones will not exist. Curiously, female boxers have always been eyeing those games, why don't they have much opinion on this game?
Street Fighter
The Street Fighter series did not initially intend to place too many female characters on the scene.
After Chun Li's debut and gained a lot of popularity, CAPCOM decided to add some female characters to each version. So there is the familiar Camy and Kasugano Sakura, the three of them are the most frequent characters in the Street Fighter series.
Chun Li's most classic image is always in Street Fighter 2, and the most perfect image is from Street Fighter 3.3. As for the later works, Chun Li's figure has been Westernized, and she does not have the same feeling as before.
Jamie's image has only changed once, that is, in "Young Street Fighter", the image of the blue battle suit has appeared, and she is still a killer bee at this stage. After joining the Red Triangle, Jamie has been dominated by green combat suits, and this image continued until Street Fighter V.
Kasugano Sakura's costumes are only two.
She had been a high school student until Street Fighter V, so she wore student clothes at all times. Having graduated during the Street Fighter V era, he wore more casual attire.
Dead or Alive
In the 1990s, when 3D technology was not yet mature, "Dead or Alive" already dared to take the sexy route.
And the quality of the picture made at that time was completely able to hang other fighting games. At this time, the stripper has already vaguely exposed the upcoming meat selling journey in the next few decades.
In the subsequent versions of Dead or Alive, there are more and more new people, most of them are mainly female characters, and almost all the most perfect female characters that players can imagine can be found here.
As the popularity of these girls continues to soar, some beach games have been created in the later stages. Today, for today's players, Dead or Alive is no longer a fighting game, but a dress-up game.
Looking at the image changes of Ayane over the years, the early version, although the picture quality is not so good, is definitely the most feeling.
Soul Power
When we were first in the game hall, the name posted by the boss was "Soul Blade", maybe every place is different!
Unfortunately, the series has always been released on the host platform, and there are not many arcade halls that can be accessed, so the follow-up works are relatively unfamiliar to everyone.
It is also in recent years that the number of players who started to enter this game has begun to increase, after all, this is also a continuation of our youth!
Soul Ability has also been updated over the years, the gameplay has always been innovative and explosive, and the later addition of a counter-blade system adds variability to the combat, and the degree of playability exceeds that of other similar games.
For players who have not started, although they have not played the game carefully, they are still very interested in the female character modeling.
Duoxi has always been one of the most concerned characters for players. In the early stage, her clothing style was still decent, but in the later stage, it was completely based on showing her figure, and there were even bumps that could not be examined.
It's very difficult to find a reviewed image.
However, the operation of the series has been relatively mature many years ago, and it has been able to maintain this gameplay and add some innovation for so many years. And in the latest work of Soul Ability, we seem to see near-perfect picture quality.
"Iron Fist"
The original "Iron Fist", like "VR Warrior", did not put much effort into the beauty of the characters.
What is shown is the domineering spirit of the characters and the coherent movements of the clouds and waters.
The game's fighting style and gameplay are indeed very innovative, fist-to-head fighting style, which is the most suitable operation for 3D fighting games. Therefore, the initial images of Anna and Nina are not so beautiful, so we can only imagine that they may be beautiful
In the later version, the image of the two sisters was gradually hd-defined, and at this time, Namco finally portrayed their most perfect image. I don't know which image you are most familiar with today?
I don't know if you have noticed that in the "King of Fighters" series, except for Athena Asamiya, the other characters have basically not changed their clothes.
Although the painting style is different, the original image is maintained almost always. Even if you don't know the fire dance, it's just a little more patterned on the combat suit.
Maybe that's why! Players still love the classic characters.
You don't need to look at the face, just look at the color matching or clothing style of the characters to accurately say the name of each character.
The small editor's graphics mainly focus on arcade games and red and white machines, hoping to evoke the good memories of this generation.
