The eyes on Sakura are so large that they are really jarring.

As for Ken looking annoying, as someone who has mained non-shoto characters with no proper fireballs over the years, Ken and all of his shoto-bretheren bear equal amounts of annoyance from me.

Yes, SF4 ! I knew he reminded me of sth ! God, I hated his look in that game.

In general I like Ken; 3rd Strike Ken onwards, I d say that he is not really a shoto anymore, adopting a somewhat more agressive style of play. His SF5 look isnt that bad (in-game) but since they were going for likeness across all the SF titles, friggin choose Alpha Ken or Third Strike ! He looked so cool there... its just unreal how stupid this decision was.

Agreed on Chun, but I felt Cammy had a big deviation. Her 3D design actually looks British-American, and SHF just ruined it.

Agreed on your SOTA point as well, but I will actually take it a step further and declare that both SOTA's Ryu and Ken were (imho) closer to classic Ryu and Ken.

Bottom line, given the age and means available, SHF should have produced a significantly better line of figures for such an iconic franchise.
