Because while I like the stance, and enjoy its meaning and place in SF history, I don't think it'd be the optimal pose for Akuma in this statue line.

Because he's going to appear squatted and too small compared to everyone else in the line. Especially Sagat (and anyone taller than Sagat).

And the pose seems like extreme action compared to the very slight action on display from the other characters.

Maybe a more neutral pose (think Akuma 1/3) for the revisit, and another Akuma in the Ultra Line?

The heavy action pose seems like it'd fit well with the action pose Vega that was shown. And he could get a rocky (environmental) base to accentuate the pose! Perhaps having the kata somewhat crushing the ground beneath his feet?

You can do things with that pose that would be very difficult to achieve on a plain black base.

But my main concern would be that he'd suffer from Zangief-ism. A 7'0" character that appears shorter than characters that are 5'10".

Thoughts?

Edit: I'd like to acknowledge that this type of creative compact pose did work well for Dhalsim.

But....

I also think that without his smokey fire base he'd also look extremely small compared to the rest of the line (proper scale or not).

Yes, you can put a tape measure on these to find out if the scale is perfect, but that doesn't matter if they look wrong.

Example: No one wants a T-Hawk in his 'Indian Style' sitting pose! Ya feel me (lol)? We all want a towering Indian BEAST! With a dang EAGLE on his arm!

Lol, end rant.

I agree with alot of what you said.

However akuma is not a tall character like gief. gief looks off because he is massive in the game even hunched over and looks tiny next to guile or any other statue. The scale is off.

Sagat is big, perfect size, hes supposed to be towering over ryu and akuma, akuma losing an inch or two by being in a squat a dont think would make too much difference. I think it would look badass!

Akuma is a short ass!! He is only about inch taller than Ryu.

Here is a link for you Joppula to check the characters height.

Having Sagat towering over Akuma will be game accurate!

I'm going to train.

Speaking of trains, I live 9 miles away from Next Level and yet it takes 1hr and 30mins to get there!

But I now live next door to a place called Beast Mode who have done Street Fighter tournaments in the past!

Blanka confirmed to be the next 1:4 PO!

[akumakiller]

Awesome, anyone have any idea about the pose?

[Mollusk]

I'm a PCS newbie, but am amped up about the Battle Damage Ryu I managed to score.

What's the approximated release date of that now? Anyone have accurate insight into that.

I know it was originally slated for Q1 2015, but obviously that's not going to happen with the new head sculpt and all that.

[akumakiller]

get ready for a long wait fella, these statues nearly always get delayed
