Kokoro imho has! Long, thick, flowy, considerably few clipping issues:
Hm...okay, maybe scratch "thick", but still. XD

Her hair looks best when its flowing over her shoulders in her lose pose because it looks full. How dark her hair is does really help.

Kasumi's ponytail is my favorite
Kasumi's loose hair looks awful on her but really good on Alpha imo.
Oh and I just remembered Bravely Default, the painted backgrounds look so beautiful and this is one of the few 3DS games I've played that has good 3D.
^the english release of this particular city is even prettier but I can't find a pic of it

Lol, that's the worst picture you could take to illustrate how much you like her ponytail! XD I hope, the hair strands in DOA6 or DOAX3 have three times the polygons.
The Bravely Default artworks are absolutely gorgeous. *__* A game, whose environments amazed me very much was Xenoblade Chronicles. Pure art and so huge! Hard to believe, the old Wii hardware could handle this.
Sorry, the image quality is atrocious. XD
I agree, Kasumi's ponytail is beautiful...Thick, flowy, and it satisfies my long hair obsession. Loose is disgusting, her braid is ok, and her side ponytail isn't half bad. I think the hair is supposed to really be tied up in order for the hair to be at it's graphical and visual best. Leifang, Nyotengu, Hitomi, and Kokoro however have the best loose hair in the game IMO.Kasumi's ponytail is my favorite

Another beautiful game, though in a different way, was One Piece Unlimited Adventure.Lol, that's the worst picture you could take to illustrate how much you like her ponytail! XD I hope, the hair strands in DOA6 or DOAX3 have three times the polygons.

Mute for this video, the guy playing talks over it.

The two hard looking front pieces stop me from liking Hitomi's loose hair. Personally I like Alpha's, Helena's, Lei's, Nyo's, and Kokoro's. I'd say Rachel's but the hairline is messed up.
They're even better in 3D, the first one with the spiral rocks is incredible. Bravely Default has a deeper 3D than most games I've noticed. If you have a 3DS I highly recommend getting the game, they really knew how to work designs. The jobs have nice outfits for the most part and there's a lot of them

As Vega has just joined the Street Fighter V cast...
...I have to say again, that I really like the redesigns for the characters. Simple yet interesting and iconic.
The overall graphic style though...I don't know... :/ The Play-Doh look, the washed out textures, the bland stages and some of the faces...
Wasn't Vega supposed to be pretty?
An then Ken...

The art style isn't to my taste but it is definitely better than SF4's art style. That game has to be the most ugly fighting game in existence.
(early fighting games excluded) It was so bad It's what held me back from getting the game. So it is an improvement from that but The muscle definition is still a bit much but I suppose Street Fighter has always had over defined Dragon Ball Z muscles.
Characters looked like gorillas in SF4, yes...but I'd rather have more muscles in a fighting game, then too little:
In my fitter times even I have more visible abs than Hayabusa. That can't be right! D: A steeled fighter and super ninja needs more muscle definition than that. I hope, they put a little more care in the guys' character models in DOA6, whenever it comes out.

Do the men share the same torso model or at least texture besides Rig's tattoos and Bayman's scar?Characters looked like gorillas in SF4, yes...but I'd rather have more muscles in a fighting game, then too little:

Also I agree certain male characters need more muscle definition.
Just as with the girls, even more so, the men's body models and skin textures actually do differ considerably, apart from the very obvious differences (Bass, Eliot, Genfu, Raidou).
Bayman is more compact, square shaped and actually has a little bit of fat indicated.
Akira is much more slimmer, athletic and has more muscle definition.
Rig is something in between. He seems to have really thick, meaty arms though. (Which I find weird for a Taekwondo fighter, who should have more muscular legs...)
So, Team Ninja in fact put some effort into the guys...still they graphically look a generation behind the girls. It often doesn't make much sense to me. Why, for example, are Rig's tattoos so pixelated/blurry? He's a brand new character and one of the main characters of DOA5. Could they really not spare a little more resolution on his skin? The graphic engine and memory capacity wouldn't have crashed.
Also, each full body texture consists of two halfs. Actually just one half, that was mirrored. If you look closer, they have the exact same moles or skin blemishes on each side. As a designer/graphic artist I can tell you, that it takes just a few seconds in Photoshop, to alter a mirrored texture slightly, so that you can't see, that it's actually the same. Just a few seconds. They could not even spare these for some reason. I really don't get it. o__O'

I don't know...the animations are alright. They are dynamic, have momentum and that certain "oomph!" Super Smash Brothers is similar in that regard. The animations are kinda limited too and not as fluid as a 3D fighter, still the game looks awesome and the animations do fit the detailed 3D models well.

It's weird that Hayabusa has next to zero muscles in DOA5 but is mad ripped in all the Ninja Gaiden games including NG3RE lol.

To be fair, any more "defined" than that actually starts veering into being unhealthy. The body he has there is about right for simply being athletically active like ryu is.Characters looked like gorillas in SF4, yes...but I'd rather have more muscles in a fighting game, then too little:

I dunno it just drives me nuts that both characters pause for a second every time someone lands a hit. Makes things look choppy
We talked at the beginning of this thread about it @Argentus and I just found a screen of the very first view, the player has of the world of Oblivion, when coming out of the sewers:
Wow, this looks so bad today. XD And once it was an absolutely breathtaking sight... Now, as a comparison, Ethan Carter pics, which Argentus thought, looked graphically the same:

I meant the same thematically lol. A decades difference in graphics there, lolWe talked at the beginning of this thread about it @Argentus and I just found a screen of the very first view, the player has of the world of Oblivion, when coming out of the sewers:
