Just when you thought you’re already over the first pic.
Along comes a mobile game that shows THIS (second pic).
Wow, mobile game industry.
Just.
Wow.
That’s my secret, captain, I’m simultaneously never over and yet completely over everything.
That does not look comfortable to wear at all. Let me guess, breathes through skin? Shoots lasers from her butt and back? Wings grow from her back and butt? Lost a bet?
We at BABD completely agree with that Avengers reference. All those sexualized designs turn us into Schrödinger’s Critics: simultaneously surprised and unsurprised by how far the absurdity (and genericness) can go.
Though one thing that’s always certain is the true reason for all that gratuitous buttcheek action.

I got this game “Stella Glow” recently and, while it’s not bad, Hilda (pictured) has a costume that bothers me. She wears this outfit anytime- in battle or out, so I guess it counts as armour? Either way, it’s ridiculous…
In the game, there are witches (like Hilda) who can cast magic by singing. While witches are singing, they are completely defenseless- after all, they’re focusing on the song. So it makes no sense at all to wear such useless armour- she could easily get stabbed in the stomach. Or anywhere else, really.
As for the bingo, hearts are there for the ones I’m more sure of, and stars are there for the ones I’m not so sure of. For example, the thigh-high boots. Her boots end below her knees but she has socks(?) that go to her thighs. For covers only nipples and genitals on torso, it also covers her sides? But her stomach is completely exposed. And bared back is more of a technicality- her hair and a cape (I think?) covers her back but neither of that will protect you.
Depending on what you think, she could have a bingo. Either way, she’s not fit for battle.
Yup, while no mildly sane person would ever consider that to be armor – that she’ll voluntarily wear it into battle makes it armor as far as the bingo is concerned. Particularly given her, shall we say… confrontational nature?
I wouldn’t normally count those as thigh highs, since they appear to be stockings (and are presumably held up with superglue), but nipples and genitalia definitely applies since that seems to be the only parts prioritized in cover with that outfit. Bared-back… well the nano-seconds it’s on display it’s unclear.
Perhaps the nicest thing that can be said is that if she runs around in an outfit like this – it’s no wonder she has to try so hard to get people to take her seriously.

So, Street Fighter 5′s beta was found to have some additional costumes in it – with no official word from Capcom on whether they’re be available or not in the game. Since they’re not even confirmed for the official game, it’s hard to tell whether they’ll be alternative costumes, unlockable rewards or scrapped before final release.
What is clear is that whoever designed Laura’s alternative outfit did so with no regard for how her body works.
There’s also (less contraversially) a police uniform (with pants!) for Chun Li (as well as a glued on version of her black dress).
An alternative outfit for Rainbow Mika, and I honestly have no idea what they were hoping to accomplish here (but Zangief got one as well):
And an “Officer Cammy” outfit that looks practical in front..
But of course she forgot her pants:
Since these aren’t officially released by Capcom yet, but discovered through reverse-engineering the beta, so information is very limited. However since the models are all polished and finished, it seems clear that at some point someone thought these were a great idea at least up until the saw the final product.
Oh, the self-demonstratingly inept “How to draw…” books. They are an artform of their own, just not in the sense their authors intended. This sort of handbook is special enough to get its own tag now: bad drawing guides.
@eschergirls also has a tag devoted to such books – enter only if you’re not afraid of terrible advice for drawing anatomy. And this particular cover was featured in there too. No wonder, seeing how this lady’s pose is quite literally a zigzag and how dislocated her head is. Hell, the sketch on the left illustrates clearly that her neck was drawn to grow straight out of her shoulder!
