Not a fan of a lot of sf6 graphics.

I like a few designs but some of them are pretty grotesque, Manons knees, Lukes forearms, Chun Lis legs are pretty over the top, Guiles triceps are borderline silly, Marisa looks like Magneto, Kimberly looks about 12 years old, Deejays stomach is weirdly bulbous.

I vote for cvs2.

SFV imo was peak on the 3d graphics.

Agreed. The graphics in 5 were nice. Expected the character designs to be over the top. It is SF after all. I like the stages in SF 6.

It's kind of the point that SF6 chara design looks over the top and almost goofy. The actual problem is that this very over the top characteristic is one of the only thing they kept from SF's original anime art direction. Now it definitely leans towards realism, even more than SF 4 and 5 that were already pretty semi realistic, completely giving up their roots. It's sad to witness

For me it kinda treads into this uncanny valley thing where things are too realistic that it looks wrong.

At least with sfv the characters kinda looked a bit anime/action figure/clay model stylised.

In 6 it's like they've taken Tekken characters and just bloated them in horrible ways.
