Can I just say two things?

1.) The look of this game is mesmerizing

and

2.) These female characters are gorgeous. Hope there's a cool looking male character cuz Jago looks fairly pedestrian imo.

Really hate that i missed that MS stream, would have loved to see Sadira in action...

You can see it, they archive the videos.

 

[onQ123]

lol at the flip animation. so bad.

That's the way it happens in real life.

 

[Ledsen]

First MK and now KI? It's like some sort of Thong Fighter conspiracy. It's getting pretty embarrassing tbh because it looks completely ridiculous.

what? This ain't no soul caliber or mk. They don't exaggerate like that.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

What's the Thong Fighter conspiracy?

 

[MLCodest]

Really liking the game the more I see it. Can't wait to get my hands on it at launch.

Also does anyone else think that if the game is a success MS is going to buy Double Helix? Or at least try to.

 

[Ledsen]

I'm talking about the lady in the trailer. She may not have the tits of the MK ladies but her outfit is equally ridiculous. It's getting to 90's comic book levels of pandering.

Knowing how MS works, i doubt it. Although i can see them working together.

 

[Winterfang]

what makes you think that?

I don't know what you are refering to.

If it's the first, then the game is currently online only and has Jago, if you want any other character you have to buy it. That makes every character but him Downloadable Content.

If it's the second, then characters like Sabrewulf and Glacius had constantly being tweak in appareances every time, thanks to the input and reception. If Riptor gets announce and launch and he looks awful he will probably stay like that.

sadira or orchid? Its not equal at all solely on their breast being normal. They have attires that are unique,you just want them to look rudimentary or something?

Sadira obviously. I have no idea what you're talking about in your last sentence there.

I could see it happening

 

[Valkerionseven]

So Sadira is speaking Thai huh, pretty cool that they are going all in on the authentic languages.

 

[Ledsen]

Ugh...

I agree, it's getting pretty tiresome. When will we get good female designs?

 

[Skab]

Some of the responses in this thread are ridiculous.

Sadaria looks fun, and I like how Orchid looks. Interested in seeing her move set.

She seems fine to me.

Yeah Sadira looks like a beast. I love speedy characters so i can see myself maining her, holding out to see how Orchid's moveset pans out though...

More like these kinds of posts are getting tiresome. Sadira looks just fine.

 

[Ledsen]

Nm

 

[Sydle]

Sadira and Orchid look great!

Cannot wait to play this game.

 

[bon]

I wouldn't have been able to identify her as Orchid if it wasn't for the glowing cat. Get rid of those goggles and bring Asian Janet Jackson back.

 

[GuardianE]

Just wanted to echo that Sadira looks great.

FUCK no.

janet was ugly lol. The overall design is very similar to orchid.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

I dont understand why the lack of Fulgore in this game.

Fulgore is the Ryu of this franchise.

Fuck Jugo

 

[Valkerionseven]

When sexist designs like these are in a game, they're going to get called out. Believe me, seeing them again and again is getting REALLY tiresome. You hope things will change, but then they don't.

Doubt they will get called out on it.

Sadira is the typical "sexy" female assassin design, nothing we have not seen since the 70s. Orchid is surprisingly... normal design and clothes wise.

and they said there is two more characters to show other than shadow jago, so... I assume one is orchid and maybe another one. Maybe they are just talking out their ass on the stream and making mistakes.

 

[abadguy]

Yeah whatever man, they have other threads for this kind of bullshit. Sometime people just want to talk about the game.

Nah. The fake ass Janet Jackson look can stay in the 90's where it belongs. This looks vastly superior. Orchid this time around looks more "mercenary" than the cat-suited movie style super spy. ( to be honest the original didn't really look like a "secret agent" either IMO)

 

[metsallica]

I guess I've accepted I'm not getting TJ Combo, but Orchid kind of makes up for it.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I am sure he will make it down the road.

 

[derFeef]

Oh gosh really, last thing I thought about those two designs is that they are overly sexualized, this is grasping at straws.

 

[sleepykyo]

Depends on your definition of good. If it is simply measure of skin shown, there is Leo (Tekken 6), Hilde in SC4/5 (aside from the chest plate), Vanessa in King of Fighters.

It really seems like people are overhyping Fulgore's popularity. I don't remember ANYONE loving Fulgore during my arcade (rip in peace) time, but of course, anecdotal and all that. I'm probably wrong, but I just don't see it. He was always so boring to me.

In any event, that's Orchid, huh? Eh...

Fulgore is the face of KI, people did love him.

I could say the exact same thing about having to read all the posts about female character designs being sexists, that always manage to creep into threads these days.

Definitely. Kinda getting Leona vibes from the new design too, same genre of gals I guess.

I don't recall anyone who had Fulgore as a main character. I think it's just because he was on the arcade cabinet and SNES box/cartridge, so he's kind of the face of KI. Really weak argument for a franchise that hasn't had a new entry in almost 17 years.

 

[metsallica]

I am sure he will make it down the road.

I hope so! He was my main!

Fulgore is one of the most popular characters from the series, on top of being the series mascot.

I'd bet money that he will be one of the other 2 season 1 characters.

Just because you didn't see anyone with a main doesn't mean their wasn't. He was a sub boss to eyedol as well.

 

[EatChildren]

Eh, not really liking Orchid's redesign. Was expecting something, but aesthetically they've bulked out her attire (military boots, steel kneecaps, goggles, bag and equipment hanging off belts), and I really preferred the minimalist, sleek look of her original design. Athletic acrobat Orchid >>> military grunt Orchid. I've been happy with all of the redesigns so far, in varying degrees, so this would be the first I don't agree with at all.

But a part of me thinks I would have disagreed with anything that wasn't a repulsive early 90s getup.

Those are small things, overall it looks great and true to Orchid. Since there are accessories i wonder if we can choose to remove those accessories.

 

[sleepykyo]

what? This ain't no soul caliber or mk. They don't exaggerate like that.

Going by thongs, which Lesden is referring to, SC5 decreased the number of females. People just get hung up on Sophitia/Elysium and Ivy. KI(3) is at 50% of the females.

2/6 are females.

 

[sleepykyo]

2/6 are females.

I thought it was pretty straight forward
2 females. 1 in a thong. 50%.

50% of the females are thong fighters.

It's still reaching since there are only two females anyways.

I'm sure they'll have that outfit for her.

The uniform has customization right down to the accessories. Pick and choose as you please, along with choosing the color of different parts of the uniform. Plus, you have an option to choose the old uniforms.

 

[Mdk7]

As i was told by one of the devs at E3, Riptor (or at least another dinosaur creature, that's what the guy told me) will 100% be there.

Probably he's gonna be one of the last two characters of season 1, i'd say him and Fulgore.

 

[Toxi]

None of the characters in Skullgirls wear thongs, so it's clearly the least sexist fighting game. Score one for the indies!
