Final Plea to MS and IG 😢

I can’t go a single stream without someone bringing up how ugly Kimberly looks. Please just redo her appearance and get it over with. I’m tired of my wife being made fun of :cry:





While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I do have to agree that when you compare Maya and Kim it’s literally night and day. Even the consistency with her hero art and how she actually looks are completely different. Also why does she always look different every time you look at her? She looks different on loading screens than when shes on a stage or in the menu’s…etc

See how much more consistent Maya’s face is compared to hers?

Also, what happened to this version of Kim? Appears she use to be much taller in the original concept. Being taller sure would of helped out them footsies haha

EDIT: I’m saying that I’m tired of trying to understand why her face looks so bad. Having @TempusChaoti come in and let us know if they have any plans to go back and tidy up animations and character models would allow me to ease my constant barking. Appearance is just as important as gameplay and modes because they form a complete package. Having someone tell me they don’t want to play the game because Kim Wu and Tusk look like crap (which has happened more than once) is very disheartening to me because we are trying to grow the game not push people away.

EDIT2:

Obviously I’d have to respect his answer, I can’t really keep beating a dead horse when I have an answer. Thus far, no response or comments have been given on this particular topic, even since she debut at the world cup which was 8+ months ago.

EDIT3: idk if this is real or but if so HOLY CRAP

Thought you ditched her for arby?

Arbiter is just a phase, hes getting nerfed to crap next patch I’m sure anyways.
Kim Wu is the future!

Probably after Shadow Lords launch? Even then it’d be far fetched to expect any changes.

I’ve been saying this for a while now. It only make sense.

She’s beautiful on the inside, and that’s what truly matters.

Nope. All she’s got on the inside are 1s and 0s…

Yeah her face needs serious reworking. Like serious reworking.

Wait… Why is this a final plea? What exactly do you mean by that?

You know, I genuinely don’t regret not watching KI streamers anymore. This stuff is just petty. :neutral_face:

Well, imagine your favorite character from any other series.

If they had some trait messed up as bad as Kim’s face, wouldnt that hurt your feelings at least a little?

OMG what is that from the animations are

Orchids face is the same.
Mayas face while throws her daggers is awkward
you can’t SEE the other human female faces for masks metal or posture-

I highly think anyones not going to touch her design art from here on

I’d love to see more outfits and the concept hair

Storm’s femme fatal is already horribly disfigured.

I do have to admit… the smirk on Kim’s face that she does during her intro and outro looks as if she’s had a stroke…

Not really, because I don’t think Kim’s face is ā€œmessed upā€. I think it has inconsistencies and changes strangely depending on stage lighting, but it isn’t worth even a fraction of the time and effort spent complaining on it.

And freeze framing choice moments of animation can make almost anyone’s work look shoddy. Overexpressions, clipping in million dollar productions, odd cants of neck or other joints - there’s a reason animators often joke about slow motion being their nemesis.

You take that back! Hisako is kawaii as ā– ā– ā– ā– !

[Spoiler] A trip to an orthodontist wouldn’t hurt… but STILL![/spoiler]

And just to stay on-topic, sometimes complaining about a certain thing to the point where you have to make a ā€œfinal pleaā€ (dibs on that name for an emo rock band, btw) just seems silly.
I dunno. I feel like Kim-Wu is a great character in a game full of great characters which short-sells her quite a bit so maybe that emphasizes complaints about her? Can I say that maybe its because she’s female that this discussion is still prevailing? (Genuine question, the issues with TJ and Cinder seemed to pass by rather quick).
