Is this confirmation that MS will put a little more money into KI or will 343 donate some dev team members to help with the job?
I’m glad it’s the Arbiter and not Master Chief, but I was hoping for a Tusk tease.
Maybe later in the weekend…

I agree. She’s annoying and teenagey.
Tusk will be saved till nearer end Cinder style as he’s a fan demand. Gargos the last likely as he’s the boss of S3.
Just wanna see the brand new characters now personally… Vampire character for the win!
Vampire/Succubus, either or would be awesome.
Tusk has been on my wish list since season 1, so another few months isn’t long to wait.
I dunno but it sounds like season 3 is going to up the anti here.
Not a fan of her looks or the new personality, I’ll wait until I see how she plays though.
Arbiter… the first thing I truly haven’t liked.
The preview of Arbiter only showed a sword and a carbine - it makes me wonder if he’ll use both in KI. Personally, though, I would like to see him use a needler. 
Also, another character that Kim Wu reminds me of is Korra from the Last Avatar series.
I like her personallity, but she be kinda butterface…WHY WHYYY! Is Ana Sarkisian behind this junk…where god forbid there be some sexy women in a game…Quit being so pollitically correct people, lets make some sexy characters.
Pretty cool redesign, her gameplay looks fun and I kinda like her attitude. She’s like a female version of “Jake the American Dragon”. XD
Her face needs a bit polishing though, imo. Like, her eyes are maybe a bit too close to eachother. But otherwise, she looks cool. Great job, IG!
I’ve never really been a fan of Kim Wu though, but I will definately try her out. Waiting for Tusk though. <3
Personally I thought her hair and face were the worst part. It just seems like western developers can’t make good faces.
Was also caught off gaurd by her stage, it reminded me too much of two SF stages. I wish it were night so those neon lights would be more interesting to look at. After the exhibition it grew on me. Looked pretty realistic and gritty when Kan Ra and Jago were fighting there.
As for her personality, I did expect a little bit more maturity since she is a college student and it’s around that age that most people tend to become mature. Not only that but she seemed to already be trained so some humility should be expected from a traditionally trained warrior. Lastly, I would probably not even mind her attitude if it was an annoying american teen voice. Maybe if it was chinese or Korean I would have overlooked the dialogue.
Her shouts sort of reminded me of Bruce Lee. Maybe she can have alt costumes like the classic yellow jump suit. If they do make new stand alone skins I hope characters get new dialogue and taunts with the skins. That way a bigger omage to bruce could be possible with the yellow jump suit. Or at the very least a Jubilee skin since that’s exactly what her character is.
7/10
Her combat was great. Need to listen to full song before I judge but wanted a more synthesized sound like her teaser.

Her modeling is good, but her face looks lifeless and the way it moves look unnatural, as if she’s had one too many facelifts. Not a fan of her hair, which makes her head look big.
Her gameplay is unique and looks like a lot fun, but the special effects are overdone and detract from the animations of her moves.
Her stage music is nothing special, nor is her Ultra.
One of MS/IS’ better designs, but more could be done to make her really standout.
Girl needs a new face… BADLY. Unless you’re going with the ‘beaten with an ugly stick’ thing. Stage looks really good! Looks like she’s still a WIP, but has promise to the character. I HIGHLY APPRECIATE the duller aesthetic of the background/ stage. I think the lighting and backgrounds of some stages mixed with the characters really throw off and take away from the gameplay. Some character’s colors blend with the background and it’s hard to focus on the fighting.
I really like her realistic look. That being said, the IGN comment section really took it out on Kim’s face/looks. Welcome to mainstream! (Lol)
For those who want to watch the teaser, it should be at the end of this video
Thanks for those who clarified who the new character was, as the trailer gave nothing away for those with a visual impairment.
also, glad to see this thread attracting so much attention, keep the comments coming everyone.

She looks great… all these comments about her face baffle me…
She was ugly as back in the day so had no idea how she’d turn out but she looks great. The world “normal” has been doing the rounds but thats no negative and compared to rest of the cast shes actually pretty unique. Curious about her accessories (Isgreen i think tweeted her HAIR get changed as an accessory… maybe a new style will win over people obsessing over her looks), IG did a great job, the fans are pernickity with legacy humanoid cast (even TJ was scrutinized) and Tusks still to come yet.
She reminds me of Jade from the Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon lol
Yep it seems like alot of gamers have really high standards. We could all blame the mainstream media for that.
