There are a lot of great reasons to install fan-made modifications to the character models in Street Fighter. Personally, I like to install mods made with referential cleverness in mind, like the mod that transforms the character Poison into Bayonetta (pictured above), or the one that turns C. Viper into Samus.
I also love the nostalgic mods that bring back old costumes from previous games. I love Ken’s magenta gi in Street Fighter IV; it’s not in Street Fighter V, but for the grace of mods.
With some Internet digging, I can bring back my favorite costumes or install completely new and original outfits designed by fans.From the perspective of enjoying fashion alone, I can’t say enough good things about the mod community for Street Fighter. You can change characters’ outfits, hairstyles, and even their lines or poses. If you’ve got something you want to change about the world of Street Fighter–and goodness knows I do–mods give you the power to change it, provided you’ve got a PC copy of the game in question (modding on the PlayStation version of the game is currently out of reach—but give it a decade or two; someone will crack that thing).In my own personal quest to introduce other people to the intimidating world of Street Fighter, I often talk up the mods I’ve got installed, from Ken’s costumes to C. Viper’s Morph Ball mode. I paint a delightful picture of the mod community, telling my new-to-the-scene friends, “Just Google around and I bet you can find whatever character design you want!”I’m not misrepresenting anything there, since you can find a whole lot of great stuff in modding threads, but I am lying by omission. The various websites where people post mods for Street Fighter also have some potentially discomfiting patterns.
Street Fighter V is available exclusively for the “PlayStation 4” and PC. Through a strategic partnership between Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. And Capcom, the next generation Street Fighter experience offers cross-platform play that unites fans into a centralized player base for the first time ever.
Reading a long thread on a modding forum will require you to scroll through a lot of sexual content, and some of it might make you feel uncomfortable. That could be a pretty significant barrier to entry for a lot of players when it comes to seeking out mods.Here’s the positive spin: the mod community for Street Fighter has a refreshingly kind outlook towards unusual kinks. For example, the compiled lists of the most popular new mods for Street Fighter V on and on the include links to multiple “barefoot” mods for Chun-Li, Cammy, and R. Mika—presumably for foot fetishists, based on the tone of the comments in YouTube and Deviant Art threads about these mods (I’ll let you Google those yourself, if you want to find them). These “barefoot” mods get placed in the exact same list as the mods that make small alterations to character costumes, such as adding or removing sunglasses. No one leaves comments mocking anyone for wanting those mods; if they do, it’s rare enough that I haven’t seen it. As long as you’re sexualizing the female characters, it doesn’t really matter how you go about it.These lists of popular mods, and the threads from whence they’re pulled, don’t separate out the mods that might be sexual in nature.
You’ll notice that both of the mod lists that I’ve linked include multiple nudity mods for female characters. Only the women get mods of this kind, with very rare exceptions (none of which appear on these reference lists). The lists even include remarkable specificity about, say, what size nipples you might want to see on Laura in her nude mod. Let it never be said that modders aren’t creative, hm?Within the Street Fighter threads that I frequent, modding spaces are undeniably sexual spaces, with an emphasis on the sexualization of women, as I’ve stated. There’s no division between “family-friendly” Street Fighter mods and nude mods.
All of these mods get created within the same space and linked in the same community threads, with no tagging or system of demarcation. Therefore, any time I recommend to someone that they check out Street Fighter mods, I should probably include this caveat: “Get ready to scroll through a lot of pages of Chun-Li boob-jiggling mods!”These places seem to be pretty well-dominated by straight male modders who are attracted to the female characters in the game and who make mods that are specifically designed to cater to that end. They don’t think to tag their work as sexual, because they already see the mod community as a safe place to express their desires—and as it stands now, it is.
But because the mod community is a “safe place” to post these mods without differentiating them in any way, that means it isn’t a “safe place” for people who might want to avoid that content for whatever reason. Hence, the mod community involuntarily excludes people who don’t enjoy that environment.I doubt anyone has ever thought to ask for a system of tagging or differentiating sexy mods. If anyone ever did ask for that, I have a feeling that the community would likely view it as some sort of prudish “censorship,” rather than a basic respect for users.
I make that assumption based on the community’s behavior in response to.Here’s a brief recap of the controversy: an early demo of the game included some camera angles that focused more prominently on the butts and crotches of female characters in the game, particularly the characters Cammy and R. In a later demo update, these camera angles got altered slightly; the perspective of the camera shifted upwards to center their faces or torsos in the shot, drawing some attention away from their butts. Even though the game allows plenty of opportunities to look at these characters’ butts (they’re both wearing thongs!), the player base reacted to this change with anger and hostility.The anger only increased when Street Fighter V developer Yoshinori Ono said that the changes had been made in response to “feedback,” without making it clear where this feedback had originated.
Someone posted that they want to see more Karin videos so I had to whip this one out. Juri is in the new Tera Sucubus mod. Meanwhile, Karin is in the Cowgirl mod but she's in the boots and gear variant. Remember, I do not make mods as I find them online and try to have cool battles with them. Hope you guys enjoy the battle because Karin was a pain to fight against. This battle took me many tries to get because I was kept losing.
