I don’t think Shadow characters would be good. Mostly because it just ruins the appeal of De Shadow charact Shadow Jago. Even lore wise it just seems like its thrown in outta no where. It actually made sense with Jago I don’t see how it would work with anyone else but Maya who had a dark dagger. Even then I wouldn’t care much for any other Shadow character.
I’d only support Ultimates if they changed it from how it works with Shago. I mean if every character suddenly had an ultimate that could be used as soon as you popped instinct to get confirmed 30% it would severely ruin the game for me. Especially against a character like Kan Ra where I work hard to just get close to the guy and then suddenly he hits me with a move that makes me lose 30% because I was too busy trying to go in. Not only that but if all ultimates are just black backgrounds I would just not want to put money on something that low quality.
I would rather choose Retro Stages or Alt costumes but I think Alt costumes should be something stand alone. Something they should be able to do without a fund. They should just sell costumes as stand alone DLC. Look at my costume thread for ideas. KI Costumes/Skins Thread
