Recently, the last three characters to be released for Street Fighter V have been shown publicly at CEO 2016 and have been met with unanimous euphoria among the community. However, a certain change in appearance for the character Juri was deemed unnecessary by most fans of said character and the franchise as a whole.

Going into more detail, players were able to get their first glimpse of Juri in the story prologue of another fighter (Cammy) in SFV. Over the course of this prologue, Juri makes an appearance (as a 2D artwork) wearing a leather outfit which is partially unzipped on the front showing her bare skin underneath. While impractical in real-life, a design such as this isn't uncommon in videogames - in Street Fighter IV, an alternate outfit for Juri had a similarly designed torso as well.

Her ingame visualization in 3D, however, has been altered in such a way to give the impression that Juri is in fact wearing a skin-tight black suit underneath her biker outfit. While this does result in a design that's still visually appealing two problems persist:

1. Based on Juri's design in Cammy's story prologue we can see that she wasn't supposed to wear the black suit underneath. While changes like these can happen, the very nature of altering it results in a lack of continuity as no other outfit in the game shows such discrepancies between the 2D art and the final 3D model.

2. Juri's design, both visual and her character, has been toying with some slight sexual undertones since her debut in Super Street Fighter IV. While never being blatantly offensive, her demeanor and revealing attire always had this innuendo to them which highlighted her out-of-the-box crazy design that fans have come to love. Taking away one of those aspects of her character makes her feel incomplete.

Now, for myself and most other fans concerned by this change, there is a possible solution presenting itself that would be easy to implement in the final version of her character releasing later this summer:

While keeping her appearance as shown at CEO 2016 for her primary color, Capcom should re-design her outfit without the black suit, thus reverting back to the design of the original 2D artwork, as one or multiple alternate colors (potentially unlockable in Survival Mode or purchasable with Fight Money).

That way, PR materiel can remain untouched as the standard outfit and color still feature the black suit and people who prefer having the suit will be able to use it in-game. Everyone else will have the opportunity to unlock or buy one or two possible alternate colors without the suit which they see as a better representation of their favorite character. This change is, in my opinion, equally reasonable and not unheard of, as Street Fighter IV already features multiple costumes with similar alterations (Chun-Li without sleeves in her alternate 2, Cammy without mask in her alternate 3).
