I think people are disappointed not only because of the model but the design itself esp when compared to season one. Those characters made from double helix had so much going for them, they looked very well re-imagined. Since iron galaxy took over, it's been a hit or miss with how they design the characters, it's as if they focus too much on how the character works in the game than how to make them appealing to new and old eyes and ears. Dropping Mick Gordon was another major blow in my opinion, he made sounds that actually made the character much more appealing but I suppose it's hard to see especially since opinions differ
aria and agonos both suck but I think the rest of the season 2 characters came out alright. maybe cinder is a bit iffy due to the burning football player design but otherwise hes okay.
Not really more that he signed to do Doom, before S3 got the green light
That split-second when she looks directly at the camera though. Oof.
She's 15 you sicko.
I actually have no idea.
Have not played much of S2 and this trailer does not really hype me for S3
I hope they put a bit more work into it. Still love KI, but it needs more budget.
Oh hey it's Janet Jackson!
Oh here is Janet Jackson again!

It's Janet Jackson again, but this time she is wearing leopard skin!

I think someone really liked Janet Jackson.
What? No, my post was intended as a knock towards her acting. She looked right at the friggin' camera!
I don't mind her design, I just think her story and character are corny; feisty teenage design student... Um, what?What the fuck Iron Galaxy? The first poor character for KI. Damn. I cringed through the entire trailer, at least she looks like an actual Asian, and not an anime character.
Ah well all the other ones are fantastic.

S3 is bringing a lot more then just new characters. They have added a couple new mechanics (heavy attacks go trough armour and flip outs) in addition to a big rebalance and bugfix sweep to all the characters

Eh. The larger nose makes her look a bit more unique, IMO.wasn't really feelin her face myself either so i decided to do a quick edit
basically just adjusted her features a bit
other than that i love her moves and i think her design is pretty neato
She looks hideous ��
She's 15 you sicko.

Praying for a MKX Tanya style upgrade, if not then I'm sure she'll have some nicer colours and accessories to improve her.
The art direction of this game got way worse since Iron Galaxy took over the development.
Ha, keep telling that for yourself, pervert
I think she looks fine. Not everyone is gonna look ideal. And people keep claimoring over that one still...she's literally at an angle. Gameplay she looks way better. I'm loving the new lighting system. I always wonder how characters are going to look on Thunder's stage (Devil's Landing...best music/stage in the game, I don't care what you say). That rain effect is awesome.
DH hasn't worked on this game since Season 1.She's actually 27 now, and that show the gif was taken from is about 3 years old... and a Fox show, not Disney. Starring Seth Green. Definitely not a Disney show!
I have to give DH their props though, for making a girl who looks more like a pre-plastic surgery Korean, rather than the more uniform, pretty look the media is more used to.

Surely that should get a bit more praise, and not be as marginalized as it seems it is in this thread?
I don't know if the overall art direction of the game has gotten worse (Stage design and lighting has been fantastic, generally, and characters are wildy varied, much more than other 3D western fighters), as DH has quite a few classic costume models people still hate. But there do seem to be certain elements that IG hasn't been as good on, on first pass. And there seems to be certain teams / modelers that produce more easily-loved results than others.
There's basically nothing about Rash that doesn't look as if he fits right alongside the cast of S1. Even the jarring difference in animation at points, isn't any different than the way Spinal has moments of retro-special-effect motion interspersed between modern, smoother 3D movement.
Yet at the same time, we have Kim, whose tiny frame instantly makes one wonder if she's around the same model / style base, much like the initial showing of Kan Ra. This situation doesn't seem to be noticed when working with someone less human, like Hisako. But is this the fault of the artist, or the fault of us expecting every character in a game to lack size differentiation as much as a Gear of War or Mass Effect?
But this stuff can still change and be modified, even after the characters are released. Every S2 character looked much better between initial showing and final release. And even after "Final" release, there's nothing that keeps them from modifying / replacing an element as the season goes on, or improving on animations.
As far as her personality... I think it's pretty interesting, given the other people she's surrounded by. She might say a line or 2 that pushes my ability to take her entirely seriously, but that's really ok; real people do that all the time too.
As snarky as she sounds, she's not denying her fate; I'd be much more annoyed with her if the whole trailer was simply her complaining about how old stuff is old, irrelevant, stupid, or more trouble than it's worth (which is much more expected, and "generic"). But she presents the idea that not only is she willing to accept it, but also willing to be the best at it possible. She's too stubborn to let the challenge beat her.

OG Kim looked african american. Just like Orchid did.
MK9-tier female character design.
What's new with the lightning system? Imo Kim Wu's stage looks unlit and really flat.
Can i have this on steam?
Ffs, i like the game, but i have to leave a console at my summer home, else it's a Pita in summer..
Result? I play ki One month per year..
Pc soon ;_;
Where do these people come from? You can't sleep with these characters they're fake. I really could careless if the characters are visually idealized women. I'd prefer less than perfect faces considering she gets hit in the face a lot.

Her nose is kinda big
DH hasn't worked on this game since Season 1.
Ugh..Windows 10 store. That's the only way on PC when it drops. You will be able to play with Xbox and other PC players.
Same, but I still think her model looks off, and I hate her costume :/ And I was hyped, because she was one of the characters I wanted to try once KI finally makes it to PC (yes, I'm that shallow, lol). Riptor, it isMy first thought. Then I watched the trailer. She doesn't look as bad as the still shot.
Goddamn this game looks like shit
Ugh..
Windows store..
I still have a bad aftertaste for the old windows store, gfwl..
There's only One platform i could tolerate dying..
IG. I type all that, and all you focus on is one incorrect abbreviation mistake, heh. Corrected.
