Kim Wu's Colors & Accessories

Retro looks pretty awesome! Like what @WandaMaximoff mentioned it should be longer X:

With the colour choice for her default costumes I was kinda hoping her main jacket would change instead of staying purple/blue since I feel some of palettes looks kinda weird on her imo :cold_sweat:

Very rushed edit, but i’m mainly talking about this (unless there’s a reason behind it as to why her jacket stays the same then my bad:

[EDIT: Turns out it’s an accessory so that is my bad :slight_smile: ]

The jacket is an accessory. So you can probably change it to match the different colors.

Though we haven’t seen what the accessories do yet, I really like the red and black edit.

See, that’s not going to fly.
IG has to care about keeping a certain standard of quality, so making a retro of lesser detail is just not good enough. Though IG didn’t make Sabrewulf’s retro, it is obviously of lower quality than mostly every other retro alt… I mean, he looks like a drowned rat. And that’s just not good enough!
Same was with Orchid’s retro which simply looked really flat in colour, however, by adding more detail to her costume, it came to life and looks better now.

So obviously IG shouldn’t go down on quality and detail for the rest

What if it was me? :stuck_out_tongue:
Anyways, multiple people need to flag it to get hidden.

Accessories! Hopefully they are like your Fanart! That would be so cool! :yum:

Red… Are you working for IG secretly…? :open_mouth: XD

This is where you and I differ. I would much rather have something of great quality than something that just looks old and sh#tty.

That photoshop does look good and it is more true to the original KI2 design without compromising quality.

It’s easier to Photoshop than to implement it in a game. Just saying.

This is true. The photoshop took the already created model that IG made and just changed a few things.

This is the wierdest statemend I’ve ever read… not a very progressive way of thinking.

Anyway it’s not a matter of how easy it is to make it… it’s a decision, the decision to make it look somewhat decent.

Colors are cool but Kim Wu didnt have shorts with it tho, it was just the cloth and it should be longer. Happy my fav character is back :grin:

Not all Classic stay true to the original. Just look at Reptile from MK 2 & MKX.

The Mask Portion in the MKX version is Open, which in the MK II one it is not. Also, Reptile’s skin is Human skin in MK II, While in MKX, it is more Reptilian. The Chest part is also a bit bulkier, and sharp edged in MK II, while MKX’s is more rounded. That being said, it’s a classic costume, bit not exactly like the ā€œClassicā€ from MK II. So technically, not a ā€œTrueā€ Retro, like you guys are saying, but faithful enough to be considered a classic costume.

Same thing with Kim.

Lizard Reptile is best Reptile.

Of course! Just making a point. :slight_smile:

There’s actually people on MK forums who complained about that as well.

Exactly my point. Not even MKX has a True Retro for all characters. One of it’s most beloved Ninjas has things that are different than the ā€œOriginal.ā€ For another character, not that bad, but for the OG Ninjas… Big Deal apparently…
