Controversy
Shortly after the release of the first screenshots, Mechabre faced a strong wave of backlash from feminists and social justice warriors alike. Many SJWs criticized Capcom and publisher Square-Enix for its overly-sexual portrayal of scantily-clad character, Ursula, who's controversial attire draws noted similarities to Witchblade, the sexualized titular comic book character portrayed by Sara Pezzini.

However, in a Twitter response, game director Jean-Francois Dugas insisted that, despite the fervent backlash, he has no plans to change the character, noting "The fine folks at Capcom and Square-Enix have a set vision for the game, and we plan to stick by it every step of the way." When pressed on the matter, character designer Tatsuya Yoshikawa, who drew the character, insisted "We in Japan have our own way of expressing our newly-designed characters which do not exactly fall in line with the vocal minorities overseas. However, we certainly respect the right for them to design their own characters as they please."

SJWs responded with, among other things, death threats and attempts to get Yoshikawa and Dugas fired (in particular, former writers at IGN and GameSpot). However, representatives at Capcom and Square-Enix have insisted they will remain with their respective companies and the creative decisions surrounding their character and game designs are final.
