I love the actual discussion going on. I have read every post.
One concern:
What would be the speed of eyedol?
Aganos is hard to play, even today. KI is just too fast paced. How would they make a giant slow horse interesting and fitting?

I do not doubt for one second the creative genius of IG and their ability to pull off Eyedol, on the contrary I think he could be sick in their hands.
Either I didnât express myself properly or you misunderstood what I said.
My point was, the fans will call to arms because the requests are mostly based on Eyedolâs nostalgia.
Would I like to see what IG can pull off with Eyedol, HELL YEAH.
But no matter what, people will always have something to complain about. The redesign of every KI character is nothing short of best Character design in a fighting game (Except Fulgoreâs and Sabrewulfâs retro). Yet we always manage to find something to complain about.
People will argue that as fans and the target audience we have a right to request and criticize everything. Which is true to a certain extend, you voice your opinion you speak in a thread and thatâs it, we donât need 10/20 threads about the same subject because I feel if I donât open a thread and word it my way the point doesnât come across and that the devs would pay more attention because I opened a new thread.
Point is, if Eyedol is in season 3 heâll be announced eventually. They know who all the characters would be from last year, all of this is not going to somehow be the âOMG, PEOPLE WANT EYEDOL AND WE JUST REALIZED IT, LETâS SEE WHO WE CAN SCRAP TO ADD HIM, HOW DID WE NOT SEE IT SOONERâ moment.
The only thing I can fault IG and MS in the whole KI process is the S3 announcements, we didnât hear anything until a couple of weeks ago. The game launched in 2 weeks and we still donât know packages, pricing, etcâŠ
You look at the forums and almost every thread is a complaint about something, it gets tiresome.

Eyedol is a better design than Gargos. Period.
Eyedol is a Harryhausen-style monster just like Spinal and deserves to be in a franchise based around classic monsters. He fits better than new Tusk, is better than Kan-Ra (which even has the same exact story as The Mummy, down to minor details), and would look great in 2016 tech. Individually animated heads, unique legs (which like mentioned before, Arbiter also has and looks fine), a club, reverting fireballs, stancesâŠ
He would be cooler than half the cast.
The devs like to say heâs lame or whatever while pretending the whole series hasnât been filled with cheesy characters from.day one. Personally, new Orchid is cheesier and more face-palming than anything in the old games. Same for some of the cherry-picking the writers have done to a lot of the plot points (keeping Tusk the same person while ignoring time-travel while changing TJ while keeping Wulf in continuity - ?!?).
ALSO - he has to have two heads, unique legs and some blunt, heavy weapon. Plus his retro look. Tusk is unrecognizable. Letâs not have that happen again.

As an avid Eyedol fanboy I can tell you that the vast majority of us here on Ultra-combo.com only care about one thing, the number of eyes and heads. We donât care about his weapon, his moveset, his satyr legs, just give us a two headed cyclops and weâre happy.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

So much this^^^
Personally, I would like to see him lose the goat legs and club.
You donât see flails or ball and chains in fighting games too much, I would like to see Eyedol wield one of those.

I donât think IG needs to worry about people complaining. As you said people have been complaining about small stuff for every character release since the beginning but either those people are in the minority or have gotten over it/changed their minds because I donât see too much complaining concerning the old characters in this game that often. I do, but not often. Not enough to try and intentionally leave out a character because a few people on the internet might not like a small change here and there, thats for sure.
Two headed character is very dumb and disturbing looking. Thats what you guys dont seem to understand. There is also a lore aspect when presenting a game to the public. Other characters were normal looking â Humanoid" that is why they could be redesigned. The only solution is to make eyedol with one head and normal looking for the lore. then you guys will come and cry a waterfall . Ever asked youself why Motara never came back in MKX with his four legs ?

NO. Motara in MKX never returned with his cyclops four legs. Does that give you a hint of the importance of lore in modern gaming ?? This is not the 90 's
This is a reboot so changing his legs would be fine plus Motaroâs change is completely different. Eyedolâs heads are his defining feature not his legs, removing them would be comparable to Motaroâs legs being changed.
NO!, No goat legs no go!
Simple response, Gargos has a humanoid design. same as all the other characters that were redesigned. that is why adam said eyedol is difficult ( . Two choices. You either redesign him with one head and no hind legs and make him a completly diffferent character with eyedol as name ( then people start ranting up and down) or you just leave him out an move on. Video game lore matters. and nostalgia should not come before objectivity and reason.
Does the location of the heads matter :]
Motaro never returned with his four legs. What is killing eyedol are his two heads and his goat legs. Extremely dumb no matter what nostaliga you want to justify him. especially with all the other cool characters in the rooster. So they have to make him one head and no goat legs and that will no longer be eyedol then people will flood these forums with waterfalls

Then get rid of the goat legs.easy as that. If it were me I would do something interesting with the two heads and make it so that one head replaces the belly and one head is on the shoulder but creating a charecter with the only stipulation is that he has 2heads isnât that hard.
Edit that reminds me. Considering omen design what will gargos look like and will his and omen features be given to Eyedol? What I mean is that if people on the astral plane has features like âliving energy, shadow incarnate, electrical maybe different color sparksâ if these are common trait for denizens of the astral plane then Eyedols design might have to somehow incorporate this which will mean that a Doom inspired Eyedol or a Greco-Roman cyclops wonât be the base idea if he was made to be from the astral plane like gargos
Am in the never played the old KI games and think Gargos and Eyedol both look dumb.
Luckily for them both, most of the old KI characters looked dumb to me so if they can reboot the characters like Jago, Maya. and Spinal and make them look modern then am game. Just get rid of that stupid club.

Thats not true, I only give my views on the topic, unfortunate that I dont support eyedol at all because of reasons I gave and it would be great if you prove me wrong and make me view eyedol differently because I really want to but i canât

Also Iâm sorry but Cinder was the most generic, he was the most blatant rip-off of all the KI characters. But that being said people liked him and people liked Wu too
