I'm confused emotionally Gaf.
On the one hand: Yes! More KI! Great! (It's still my main reason for getting a Xbox One so far.)
On the other: hmmm, not fully sure about his design. I like his voice and moves, but his face and body seem a bit...too much like normal human or something? Not exotic enough? I realise he always was one of more plain / realistic looking characters, but still. I wouldn't have minded if they had changed him up some more perhaps.
Also, his stage seems to be the one Orchid should have gotten (instead of the quite boring Battlefield one), while Combo's could have been a gym of the future or ghetto street scene or something. And why is his stage also dark and with a blue-ish colour scheme like so many others are already?
The Cinder tease is nice though. I can now fully start hoping for my girl Riptor and boy Tusk to be included again (knowing my luck, watch them being the two characters that won't make it into the new roster...).
