Do we know 100% certain that her stance is the same one seen in game, maybe there's a couple frames where she moves her fingers and that site rip just didn't use them? Maybe she's incomplete? She doesn't have her "ice aura" either.
The Ice Aura she has now is a particle effect, added seperate from the sprite. Hence, you won't see it on a sprite, because it's not a part of it.
She could be incomplete, but most likely, they'd try not to put an "in progress" sprite on the site, they'd just save her till she was finished.
Wish I could tell if her leg shading in-game looked better than on-site, but hard to tell from non-direct feed videos.
Her forward and back walk, dash-skating, and overall animation look pretty solid though. If anyone at the Loke's complained "Kula looks LIFELESS!!" Maybe they'll listen, and add a few frames ^_^ It's at least nice to see that she drops her arms to her side when returning to neutral from a move.
Notice the K' is weird too, in game. Sometimes, when he recovers, he goes into his "Laid back" stance, but at other times, he recovers to his "Ready to fight" stance.
Anywho, it's interesting to see how FEW neomax's we saw actually used this Loke, and especially how few we actually got to see land. You'd think in a test where the requirements for NM where lowered (didn't have to go into HD mode to use in this test), you'd think they'd be doing it all the time.
Really hope they add more "special defeats" to this game, beyond Yuri's fragile Gi. Would like to see Terry's hat fall off, Mai lose her fan, Kula's hair revert to normal, Maxima's gauntlets short out, K lose his glasses... could be a heck of a lot of things to do, but some of them could be rather minor.
