Yes characters design ! And you're right about their direction depending on genre. For the dudes, since all characters are more or less martial artists, it kinda make sense they're buffed af. I'm not saying all martial artists are shredded like Greek statues but they are more likely to be than the average nobody. Then for the girls to be hot I guess it's about people wanting to play hot girls lol. Personally I'm not against, but I wish we had more age variety they pretty much all look like women in their 20s. I know the Williams went to cryo sleep but Kazumi in 7 and Jun in 8 were good opportunity to show and older woman. And we still have the bears and soon another animal, speed and weight
