Holy crap she looks like a hell of a lot of fun to play.
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.
Mick wasn't dropped. Season 3 was unknown so he took other work which made him unavailable for KI. Give Klayton a chance before writing off the music, his style is fairly similar at times. When it was announced he was doing the music for season 3 I thought it sucked mick was gone but they chose well for his replacement.
I will not take this slander of the Chunk God
Og yeah, I forgot about that.
She's 15 you sicko.
I actually have no idea.

What? No, my post was intended as a knock towards her acting. She looked right at the friggin' camera!
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.
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

The art direction of this game got way worse since Iron Galaxy took over the development.

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.
hahahhahah
Ha, keep telling that for yourself, pervert

I don't mind her design, I just think her story and character are corny; feisty teenage design student... Um, what?
I think she looks fine. Her gameplay looks fun as hell.
I can't help but think the KI community was responsible for that direction. There were a lot of requests for making her a school girl and/or pop star.

I am not doubting the system changes at all, I am not even noticing most of them.
I guess I should watch a stream or a longer GP video. When will this patch hit? With S3?

Eh. The larger nose makes her look a bit more unique, IMO.

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 Iron Galaxy 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.

As if Disney would take a 15 year old and put her titties in a push up bra for all to see.
but yeah, i am a massive pervert. that's no secret
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.
What's new with the lightning system? Imo Kim Wu's stage looks unlit and really flat.

MK9-tier female character design.

Looks aight, but not as wonderful as the arbiter reveal
Going by the theme, I think Celldweller is gonna kill it with the soundtrack.
It's like through all of KI2, they used Janet Jackson as a reference for the female models.

OG Kim looked african american. Just like Orchid did.

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.
I don't know the specifics but I can see it on Kim Wu's stage, game looks so much better. Keits talked about how the lighting system will make the game look better (Arbiter's stage looks badass) and that's one of the reasons why they didn't show the rest of the stages.

you will be able to get through windows 10 store in less than 2 months, not steam
You can criticize a character's design without wanting to sleep with them. Sheesh.
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.

Ugh..
Windows store..
I still have a bad aftertaste for the old windows store, gfwl..
There's only One platform i could tolerate dying..
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 is
Arbiters tease was in engine and looked pretty much like Halo 5. This game looks great.
Windows Store is not the same as GFWL as it's not just something for games. You can always download it for free through the store and try the free version (ala League of Legends with weekly character changes).
That's because I didn't disagree with the rest of what you said.
