Her daggers are the key point to user her. They are the source of her skills. She can lose them. They can also level up
She can recapture her daggers. Sort of like a boomerang

This is actually a pretty good redesign. Guess we can expect Tusk as well.

This actually cements everyone returning because Maya was the worst designed, worst playing, worst everything.

Least expected returning character by a mile

maya was always one of the worst ki characters, her redesign while generic is better. looks a bit like Egyptian beyonce than proper Mayan though.

Probably the first character in Killer Instinct (3) who doesn't look worse than the original. We'll see how she looks in game.

Eh, with 6 more reveals left for the season I'd be surprised if we don't see everyone return. Cinder, Tusk, Kim Wu, Riptor + two new guys.

They have said theyre saving some old characters for season 3.

Combo, Maya, Cinder is still likely, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them split the other 3 off for later.

The nostalgia goggles are strong with this one.

The design is good. Way better than the original Maya. Very promising after TJ Combo which I thought looked very bland.

Ah, I hadn't heard they were going to hold some back; just that there were def not bringing the old bosses back for now. It does make more sense to have a balance of new+old.

Well, old Maya looked like Janet Jackson so its somewhat fitting for the era.

more female characters ftw

hopefully we'll get 2 brand new characters for S2 however

It's looking like possibly 3 returning, 5 new...

Cinder (?)/Combo/Maya for S2

Riptor/Tusk/Kim Wu for S3

May be 4 returning, 4 new too. Doubt they will only have 1 character returning for S3.
 
Looks pretty generic and dull, will have to see her in action first. Sadira was awesome both visually and gameplay-wise, so she has big shoes to fill.
