Topic: THIS is Simon Belmont

[X]

Yeah Kojima's style, while amazing in most areas, is just not very suitable for a male Belmont.

I think she has done a great job with all the Belmonts..Simon was not bad, but she could have done him much better!

Let me ask you all.

If Kojima's Simon Belmont looked like this...



Would you regard him any better? same design, only more muscles and a square jaw.

You do have a point...I guess I'm just more used to the Conan-esque barbarian-style Simon (being a Conan fan myself). Kojima's style is delicate and beautiful, and this definitely works for the delicate characters like Alucard. I'm just more used to seeing Simon and Trevor in muscular forms, but I like both versions of Richter, Juste really does carry the air of a magic user as well as a vampire hunter, and I positively love Leon. I guess it has to do with the release timeframe.

Well, it's still ∞ times better than Judgment Simon. *shudder*

[Inccubus]

Judgement's designs are garbage.
The above is an improvement, but he's still wearing half a bloody coat. So no dice for me.

[Flame]

Maybe only his left side is cold.

Not ALL of Judgement's designs were bad. A few were neat.

Carmilla,
Dracula, (I thought it looked neat anyways)
Cornell...

and thats about it.

And I have to say Eric Lecarde, if ONLY because he has the most TAME design in the whole game.

[Inccubus]

I agree about Eric because of the age difference between that design and his other two.
I'll definitely give you Cornell, but not changing between human & wolf forms was a cop out, but that's besides the point.
Golem wasn't bad despite not technically being a golem.

Even then, funnily enough, neither of his outfits are like what people wore in the 1900's. Morris is ok, but his first outfit looks almost roman, (or at least something somewhat pretty old) and his second from Judgement looks more like 1800's or earlier.

I dunno guys, I am not hatin on his design. Remember Rondo had kinda of a cartoon/anime feel to it with it's character design. This design reminds me alot of Simon from CV Chronicles just drawn in that same style.

[Inccubus]

Actually it's supposed to be the chronicles design in an upgraded "Captain N: The Game Master" style. Captain N was a cartoon in the late 80's in case you were not aware.

[Flame]

That looks NOTHING like Rondo's anime style.

[darkmanx_429]

I know Captain N.

[VampirehunterB]

just longer legs and more slim feet..then this would be perfect!

[Flame]

Legs look too short to me actually.

Also, it's a chain whip, not a flail...

[Dark Nemesis]

I'll agree with you!!! Perfect face!!!
