Fixing how?
Is the left one the first version? I think I prefer that one but I don't think the left one is some giant downgrade or "ZOMG not teh ANIME!!!!". That's just my opinion though.
Her face looks more slender in the first picture. Makes her look a bit older?
I'm referring to removing the black/mixed look. Although we don't have any real canonical info to state that they were anything other than white/asian, Orchid and Kim Wu def looked blasian in the original games. When I played them in the arcade / on SNES as a kid, part of the unique appeal of KI was I felt there was a lot more variety in terms of characters (yes, including ethnicity / species / etc) compared to the competition (SF, MK). So that was a big draw. How many black or brown characters are in the new game besides Combo? It's not a huge deal to me... I think she looks fine, my issue is the lame UPN series vibe she's got going on. But it's a pretty obvious shift.
Maya's in the game you know
Best Disney
In my opinion it was the worst decision ever to outsource KI3 development. The game should have been made by Rare.
Kim Wu has been my favorite fighter in KI Gold but now they ruined it. She did not have Asian origins before.

With a name like Kim Wu and her outfit in the old games, what did you think she was? Curious.In my opinion it was the worst decision ever to outsource KI3 development. The game should have been made by Rare.

How is everyone complaining about her face and nothing has been said about the music? Clear step down IMO.
While I appreciate that MS is keeping KI alive, these graphics aren't competitive (i.e. Tekken 7 quality), both in terms of fidelity and art design.
TouchéTo be fair... that nobody's been talking about the music kinda implies that on its own.
Touchéthat's disappointing. Any news on release date for PC?

Rare has not a single bone in them to make a good fighting game and you'd have to be a delusional fool to think otherwise.

how many caucasian characters are in KI? isn't every human pretty much a minority? they all looked mixed to me or pure ethnic.
cause, no offense, this is sounding like another "not black enough" issue in yet another fighting game.

It would be pretty insulting to have a character with an Asian last name not have some Asian origin.In my opinion it was the worst decision ever to outsource KI3 development. The game should have been made by Rare.

OG Kim looked african american. Just like Orchid did.
Ironically people would have said this about Double Helix before they made KI.
I said that. I ate my crow that day. Double Helix has talent.
Kim Wu's original story from KI 2....
The legendary Samurai have not yet come to power in the world, but the martial might and honour that brought them their fame is alive in the blood of their ancestors. Kim Wu, descendant of great heroes and Guardian by birth of her home nation, has been trained in the ways of traditional combat since her early childhood. When Gargos returns and lays claim to the entire world she knows, Kim realises that the time has come to fulfil her role and prove her worth in battle.
Lol I doubt etking will come back to this thread.
The animation... Good lord. So fucking good. Does anyone know if KI is mo-capped or is this all keyed in? She makes Maxi look like a slacker with those chucks son.
I mean... I hate it. She should be a Chun Li clone. She's not Asian. PS2 looks better. (Gotta blend in)
