It's a step forward from Street Fighter V, when they couldn't be bothered to give any of the men swimsuits, but they're still being too heteronormative and safe.
Obviously a big part of the appeal of fighting games is sexy people in sexy outfits. There's no point in disputing this. And these outfits bring in a lot of cash. But if you want to go hog wild in the sex appeal department then go HOG wild, aka bring on the men in speedos, thongs and fundoshis, and make sure their body physics have the same "enhancements" that the women have. Do it right or don't do it at all, and stop being afraid of the all mighty gay dollar.
No offense Hours Left, but after many years of the same discourse, you may realize that the gay dollar is not as big as you think to justify male speedos. And a “all or nothing” has always been a nice way to people to not care about your opinion.
I don’t think Capcom is so much afraid of male homoeroticism and more that female character costumes sell way more.
