It wasn't long ago that Capcom claimed Chun-Li's absurd level of boob movement in Street Fighter V was a "glitch" and it was working on a fix before the game was released. I wonder if it will also claim that R. Mika's original super-ending ass slap was also a glitch?

Either way, it looks like that particular butt shot is gone for now, though I wouldn't be surprised to see it return as optional DLC at some point. Capcom has also made changes to a few of the game's other crotch close ups. Check out the full thread on NeoGAF for more details.

Like with the recent removal of some of the more revealing outfits in Nintendo published titles like Xenoblade Chronicles X and Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, a vocal minority on the Internet is already crying censorship over this development. Personally, I see the situation as being less like a mass book burning and more like other run-of-the-mill game publisher-driven aesthetic changes. No one seemed to think it was censorship when Capcom voluntarily changed Cammy's look in order to make her more visually appealing.

This issue with R. Mika's bum is no different, except this time, an extreme blast of color and ass is being moved to make the game less of a turn off to those who aren't interested in that sort of thing.
