Yeah, I see any media of her and it just still sours me each time.
I think many players aren't a fan of her because of how "fun" and "casual" she looks. Though I think the backlash wore off after the initial knee jerk reaction. Many players expect brooding characters in the Tekken series but she personally grew on me. Go Chloe! It's funny because the backlash feels the same as when Bob was introduced.
Tekken has always had characters that were fun and cheerful: Xiaoyu, Christie, Lili, Alisa, even the dumb bears. Of coarse they were always inferior designs but they were tolerable. This dumb character takes it too far. The simple fact that she's wearing a retarded cat jacket that prevents her from even clenching into a fist just puts me over the edge. Designs like that should just be easter egg palette swap side bonuses like T1 P. Jack or Roger/Alex from T2. Just seeing her love-tapping King for damage at the end of her trailer (which probably is her super) infuriates me. At least Lili, Ling, Alisa are legitimately trying to battle & strike you. And she's doing all this while simultaneously trolling you with those poses and quotes.
Making characters "Dark and Broody" was never the point at all. The main characters I play are Julia and Hwoarang and they hardly fit the emo/dark/brooding type.
