I think Ember Moon has mega potential at least in terms of an Asuka vs Ember Moon match. That's clearly where they are going but they need to make a few important changes:
- Less face pandering in her entrance. People don't like her because she cares about the audience, they like her because she is cool
- Less selling in her matches, she needs to be more dominant
- Get those vampire contact lenses back in. I don't like the current trend of normal match / special match LIMIT BREAK mode attire that seems to be started with Finn. People should be in character at all times or you lose something.
- I realise this is probably set but I don't think he theme fully fits here either and although I do like the attire, I'd make it darker blue/black.
What I think you've got here is potentially an extremely over cool anti-hero babyface supernatural gimmick which they are fucking up every little detail of while still just barely getting the core idea across.
I really hope they tweak this and get it where it needs to be because I like the way she moves around.
And one final point, but this is a lost cause - the hair extensions. Jesus christ get rid of them. Can't a woman just have normal women's hair instead of this anime nonsense? Sasha looks WORSE with the dumb all pink. Naomi looks worse with the green extensions. Becky looks worse with the orange peel dye.. Ember Moon looks worse with these bloinde extension for no reason .And worst of all, they look DUMB. I really wish they'd ditch that.
Stop trying to differentiate the women by their colour pallettes. They aren't just alternative costumes on Player 3: Woman. Give them more solid gimmicks and follow through on them through storylines. The options shouldn't be a) blonde b) anime.
