       Capcom
      Director Shares Early SFV Concept Art by Bengus

        Director
      of Street Fighter V
      and Street Fighter
      6 Takayuki Nakayama recently shared some
      never-before-seen SFV early concept sketches illustrated by Bengus.
      Alongside the colorful sketch art is some commentary by the Capcom director, who
      shares a few random fun facts about Street Fighter V's
      character development. Nakayama mentions Juri
      Han's original SFV design was slated to show more skin (as seen
      in the artwork below), but was censored in the final version for "various
      reasons". Below, take a look at all 5 character
      sketches by Bengus released by Director Nakayama this week.

      The Street Fighter V director
      accompanied Bengus' badass Balrog
      sketch (below) with some words about the character's V-Skill —
      called "KKB" — which actually stands for "Kuru Kuru Bison /
      Boxer" — a Japanese term for something
      spinning around and around. Nakayama also mentioned Balrog's "FFB"
      stands for "Fun Fun Bison / Boxer".

      As
      you can see above, Director Takayuki Nakayama also shared Street
      Fighter V concept
      sketches for Guile,
      Ibuki, and Urien,
      although he didn't elaborate with any commentary for these. As usual,
      these new artworks have been added to each character's profile / gallery
      inside TFG's Characters
      portal. This article will be updated if  @TakaNakayama
      shares additional SFV concept art in the coming days!
