Superheroes & Supervillains Star in the Latest Street Fighter V "Rejected" Costume Concept Art

  

Capcom has revealed even more "rejected" character costume concept art on their CFN Portal. This time, we get to check out some "superhero and supervillain" themed costumes for Ryu, Guile, Karin, R. Mika, M. Bison, Birdie & Dhalsim. Thanks yet again to MajinTenshinhan from Eventhubs for translating the costumes' official descriptions from Capcom.
 

 RYU - "HADOU BURST"

He shoots energy called "Hadou" from his hands. He's stubborn, but with a strong sense of justice. He battles the evil organization "Dark Shadaloo!" He was raised by a hermit named GO-KEN.

 
GUILE - "ATOMIC HURRICANE"

No information from CFN Portal currently available.

 
KARIN - "KANZUKI DYNAMIC Ω9"

She's a genius scholar who developed a power suit which lets her battle even in the depths of space. She can also fly. This is the 9th version of the suit, and its attack power has increased considerably. She and her rival keep fighting over who has the better power suit.

 
R. MIKA - "RAINBOW HIP"

She's easily elated, a real mood maker. Her special move is her rainbow-colored beam, the "Paradise Storm". She's quite emotional, and Atomic Hurricane often makes fun of her for crying. She was rescued by a superhuman called "Crimson Cyclone" in her youth.

 
M. BISON - "PSYCHO SHADOW"

The leader of the evil organization "Dark Shadaloo". He aims for world domination. He used to be a good man, but something happened to change him completely.

He defeats his opponents with his fearsome "Psycho Power". He has underlings at his side, such as the poison-wielding "Dr. 2", the unusually cruel "Flash Claw" and the ferociously strong monster "Dirty Bull".

 
BIRDIE - "BULL STAR"

He's a superhuman who's in very low rank at the evil organization "Dark Shadaloo". He likes eating and money. He has a very weak sense of loyalty. He becomes very selfish once he's hungry.

 
DHALSIM - "WONDER Y-O-G-A"

A strange life form who suddenly appeared from space. He can float in the air and teleport. Is he an enemy?! Or an ally?!

 
In case you missed them, here's the previously released SFV rejected costume artwork posted in the previous article.
 

BIRDIE  -  "FORMAL"

LAURA MATSUDA  -  "PLAIN CLOTHS"
 

No Capcom comment currently available.

 
CHUN-LI  -  "PANDA"

Capcom's Comment: "She's like a stuffed animal. How cute. We had this in Street Fighter X Tekken, too, you know? Panda costume."

 
NASH  -  "ASSASSIN"

Capcom's Comment: "Nash is enveloped with an empowering armor. That looks hard... He's also equipped with a sword on his back."

VEGA  -  "CIVILIAN CLOTHS"
 

Capcom's Comment: "He was actually going to change into these clothes at the end of the General Story, originally. "Vega has a pretty thuggish suit, so this is a nice contrast to his."

 ZANGIEF  -  "CIVILIAN CLOTHS"
 

Capcom's Comment: "He's perfectly prepared for the cold. How cool. He actually seems much weirder now that less skin is exposed..."


R. MIKA -  "ARMAGEDDON YOKO"
 

Capcom's Comment: "This is nice. She's cosplaying her own demon coach. She just went and took those clothes without asking, so she's going to really get it later..."

 
ALEX  -  "SWIMSUIT"
 

Capcom's Comment: "That floating ring looks like it'd be extremely in the way during battle. "... Wait, can Alex not swim? Alex... Please make sure you do your squats to warm up before getting in the water."

 
As usual, we'll update the article with additional concept art if Capcom releases any more this week. And remember you can check out ALL previously released artwork in TFG's Street Fighter V concept art gallery.
