>>6250636You're wrong about a few things.
>one-tone shading only on leg partsThere is actually subtle shading all over Ryu and Chun Li, it's just not as heavy handed like you seem to prefer. In the lower light photos of the sample review you can see shading on his gloves, various parts of the gi and on his skin. Chun Li has none on the skin (lack of muscles to justify it) but does have it on her legs, boots and dress.
>muscle definition better on SCThere is two types of musculature being depicted here so it's not fair to say one is better than the other. SC is going for a more bulky veiny look while the SHF is going for a tightly toned muscle look. If you actually compare the sculpts directly the SHF does have more MUSCLE detail but is obviously lacking any kind of vein work.
>SHF Ryu has two facesIt has three faces but 4 hands. It's the only SHF with 4 hands instead of 6 for whatever reason.
Honestly the biggest issue with the SC to me is the face for Ryu (see pic). They designed it in a way where skin overlaps the bandana which looks dumb as hell once you notice it. Eyebrows going over hair/bandanas has been a Japan thing for a while and the SHF nails it in comparison. Even without the gi on the SC it can't do a proper hadoken and doesn't get much extra range than the SHF which gets a lot of range out of it's lower torso joint. I think the biggest thing worth worrying about is the use of rubber on the neck because it adds nothing (actually causes articulation to snap backwards) and SC 1/6 stuff has had bad cracking issues after a year or two. It won't get stressed as much compared to rubber limbs but it's still an odd choice.
