His P1 color was the reddish-brown, his P2 color was green. I don’t remember if it was the arcade or SNES version, but one of them had a glitch where if you were P1 it would always have him on his P2 color, even though going up the ladder no one else aside from mirror matches would be in their P2 colors.
Even so, I think a green skin would be an interesting change and wouldn’t really detract from his character design.
I’m sure they’ll add both…after all between his regular and retro skins he’ll have about 15-16 colors.
It was green in the snes version. In the Arcade version it was brown.
In the arcade version. If you chose the P1 color of a character, it would always make the opponent a P2 color no matter what. (Which was apparently Ken Lobb’s problem with the original
How would you all picture Eyedol’s new personality due to his two heads?
Hopefully he’d have two of them.
One of the most frequent suggestions was to make him a stance character, with one stance being offensive and the other defensive. If that was the case I’d imagine one head being an aggressive and loud brute while the other was more calm and intelligent.
Back with Maya, she used to be an amazoness in KI2. But now in the reboot she’s remade as a monster hunter in an empire of the Incans.
While Gargos is now a demon warlord, Eyedol can be an alien warlord who was ravaging the galaxy for conquest & destruction.
His race can be similar to the Doom monsters but with medieval vibes.
As you said of his heads, one is offensive & the other defensive. The “attack head” has vibes of Goro & Kratos. While the “defense head” represent strategies… kinda like Shao Kahn.
Due to his name Eyedol, he can be some kind of evil “idol” who has been hiding in our world as some kind of “god of war”. Until the day Gargos is defeated, he can emerge to take advantage of Ultratech and destroy them at the precise moment.
Eyedol… can possibly have alien allies that serve him. Glacius needs help from the new Night Guard to stop them.
Of course Eyedol maybe an alien… but that doesn’t mean he won’t be interested in supernatural forces and demonic powers like Gargos has.
I think he should be a combination of TJ Combo, Sabrewulf & RAAM… what I mean is that he should be a rush down, oppressive attacking player… He charges in, grapples (RAAM), but with a retreat aspect to him… so think he rushes in low kick or medium club combo attacks, with grapple enders, but he also has knock down/retreat enders… think combo… command grab or club whack ender… then he immediately rushes or jumps backwards a few feet in a defensive stance… his only way to defend is while in retreat, so although he’d be a hard hitting rush down character he would still have openings once cornered or at a stand still… BUT as a retreating charge character could be either under direst or could also be baiting the opponent into his next onslaught move/combo…
ONSLAUGHT that’s the trait description I think he could have
Don’t know if I described or explained myself good enough but I think this would be a great basis for a moveset
Has anyone thought of better move names for Eyedol’s refreshed moveset?
don’t think so…
Here’s an idea for his mace/club.
What if he could take a page from aganos’s book and throw his club at people?
(like sigma in megaman x4)
Of coarse so it’s not similar to aganos, he could instead swing it like in a boomerang motion, an arc around him hitting the opponent and then coming back to his hand. I was also thinking that he could be the second character that can lose his weapon like maya. Only difference is that eyedol can only lose his club if he gets hit while he throws it as a boomerang, turning him into a slugger, similar to TJ but without the auto-barrage.
Here’s what I’ve collected so far:
Eyedol
Alignment: Evil
Allies: Ultratech, aria, sadira
Enemies: Glacius, gargos, shadow jago, omen, jago, orchid
Appearance:
Eyedol is a large, gray-skinned, two-headed cyber-alien/reptilian with one eye on each head and goat-like legs with cloven hooves. He wields a massive spiked mace. He should be at least as tall as general raam.
Story:
Eyedol is a conqueror always in search of war across the universe. Eyedol’s race of war is enemies with Glacius’s race of peace ever since glacius’s people were able to defend there planet successfully from an invasion lead by eyedol. Eyedol once waged war against gargos as well and as a result was locked away. Thanks to sadira, aria has found a way to bring eyedol out of his prison by using glacius’s technology and plans on using him as a last attempt to stop gargos and force humanity to evolve. Glacius however seeks to take eyedol out once and for all.
Style: Rushdown projectile grappler
Special Moves and Command Moves:
Fireball - one head shoots 3 fireballs from it’s mouth with l.p
Laser - the other head shoots a laser in a down to up arc motion from it’s eye with m.p
Anti air fireball/laser - either fireball or laser shoots up at an angle with h.p (this move can be randomized like omen’s rashakuken)
Horn charge - running headbutt similar to shao kahn’s shoulder charge. l.k has minimum range m.k jumps foward h.k almost goes full screen
Mace/club swing - command move, uppercut that sends opponent flying up off-screen, giving eyedol a chance to gain damage boost by stomping
Leaping club swing - l.p leaps back m.p leaps forward h.p leaps upwards
Energy stomp - eyedol stomps the ground, gaining a damage boost to his next few moves
Club throw - eyedol throws his club at the opponent like a boomerang in a circular motion, different strength/button has different range
Flurry of punches - eyedol can start punching the opponent when not in possession of his mace
Powerful punch - command move where eyedol swings the opponent across the stage with a punch, similar to motaro from mk3.
Mace attack - eyedol can grab opponents with his club and swing it at the ground.

However… Eyedol will probably take advantage of ARIA and Ultratech for his own ends once Gargos is finally defeated.
And what would be Eyedol’s Instinct Mode since Gargos can turn his skin to stone?

Do you remember Wan Fu from Samurai Shodown? In every installment he made an appearance he had a different weapon: A sword, a stone pillar (that was sick), and a steel ball on a stick in SS5 i believe. My point is, Eyedol could have just totally different weapon. I suggest chains. Chains are cool.
My lore suggestion is that he is ARIA ace in sleeve when Gargos invasion would slip from her control and humanity would dissapoint her in fight against Gargos. He would kinda be a good guy lol.
Turn his stone to flesh?
Gargos instinct mode turned his body to stone and in eruption he goes back to flesh.
You seemed to have missed the joke I made, look closer 
Eyedol should be a shadow lord at the same level that Gargos, and an enemy of all, including Gargos. He should want to conquer the world and not share with anyboby.
Maybe ARIA could use him to fight Gargos and Eyedol could use ARIA to fight Gargos, but both know that when Gargos is defeated, Eyedol is going to try conquer the world and destroy everybody and everything.
Mmmmmm idk about the idea that Aria would ever work with Eyedol, captured and controlled or otherwise
Aria purposefully called gargos here in order to give humanity a common enemy and make them rely on Aria and her goals for furthering the power and legacy of humans. If she had a “weakened” shadow lord in her possessions and sorta under her control she would not have made the choice to let gargos here. Instead as a logical thinking computer set Eyedol on the earth, let him wreck stuff, have the hugman fighters try to stop him then swoop in and save the day betraying Eyedol and killing him at his weakest point in order to paint her as the savior of mankind. Less variables and sacrifices and ways things that could go wrong.

Summoning Eyedol would probably be some sort of contingency plan if Gargos gains too much ground or control. Having Eyedol show up to contest Gargos would leave one of them dead and the other weakened enough where she and her kooky inventions could take out, Unifying Humanity AND getting rid of two shadowlords.
