I think the thing I primarily don’t like about it is that it doesn’t really trail the move. Cause thats what it did in the original KI, and I think it was well reflected in the original shadow animation. I’ve said before, I don’t think the new effect looks bad (at least not in any aspect I’m not sure will be fixed by the time it’s complete) but I definitely prefer the original one. I think that’s why I like it better on some moves than others, because sometimes it looks like it trails more than others. [quote=“Iago407, post:24, topic:5509”]
Others have used the term generic, and while I hate to be so dismissive of others’ hard work (or derisive of it, for that matter), I do think that having the effect look so similar for all characters due to there not being any real, tangible shadowing animation of the specific special move is problematic.

This is honestly the best wording for what I feel (Thanks because I honestly wasn’t sure how to say what I was feeling lol)
The new Purple shadows are sexy af IMO lol I think they look awesome
There should be an “other” option with any type of yes/no poll.
As of now I don’t mind the effects but the bright gradient in the middle has a hard time contrasting with the black/purple. if it was two-tone or rather had a darker lighting at the center, there wouldn’t be such a discoloration with certain stages.
The difference with shadows then was that they were very noticeable yet subtle, a perfect mix because it always complemented the fighter as in appeared as a shadow of that variant. It isn’t bad by any means but it does stand more with Glacius who is light blue or Cinder who is bright orange.
By now, I am sure the team knows what to fix by the time S3 is released. They have addressed that it is still under development so despite my input, I can’t truly say whether I like or dislike the new shadow. I can only say that the team has neat ideas and are surely on the right path with lighting and effects.
Tiger you don’t get one! Hahah sorry this is about what you like most.
If your indifferent then you don’t vote and there for you give no feedback to IG 
If everyone is indifferent then we get hardly any votes 
Whoa! the results as of the moment i am seeing them are 50/50.
Yeah, I thought about that too and the only reason I went the other way on it was because I didn’t want it to be something that could be mistaken for anything other than what it was on startup. I mean, I’m trying to picture Orchid summoning yellow fire cats that explode on the opponent with yellow particles streaming out while she’s doing a yellow shadow flik flak and it just seems like it’d all blend together.
Just my opinion though. Honestly, the more I think about it, the less in love with the color per character idea in general. Trying to picture a retro blue Cinder doing an orange shadow move and it looks awful in my mind lol. 
Didn’t even read the rest of my post 
lol no but seriously, I understand no worries
THIS ALL SAY LONG. Check some tusk vs Kim action there is some parts when it mixes with the sky it just looks awful
And I agree the lighting on the stages are brilliant it’s probably the best graphical thing ever created in KI…
Feel betta? 
u know I luv ya tiger
At right down the middle lemon!!!
It’s divided the community!
With the feedback left here these shadow changes COULD be a resounding success.
Maybe with it being so even we could get the best possible option which would be to be able to choose between the two.
Omg the shade of it all! Hahaha
Well I love options! I’d be up for it.
Yey, that’s better 
I like it, more vibrant and interesting looking.
I dont mean to be a thread killer…but…
Why vote? IG are just going to ignore us and do as they wish anyways. The forums are more Q and A based and the few official votes IG did purpose, were so specific and narrow that it really wasnt a choice at all.
The classic announcer (chris) just starting doing voice work on the 29th of last month, which was 2 days ago. I’d imagine IG is scrambling to hit it’s purposed 03-29 deadline and theres a thread about changing or trashing all the shadow effects?
HA! not even gonna happen. In fact I’d bet my car on it.
whats even more frustrating is that IG has this artificial hype thing going on, wherein SE3 shats over SE2 and SE2 shat on SE1. one could argue that all the nerfs SE2 got is a completely different game now
The budget or allocated money for this season is gone peeps. were all essentially caught in the rapids with no way out.
Perhaps if we call this to the attention of one the devs? Maybe if we make a good solid case of it they’ll consider changing it or at least tell us why not. The most important thing is that we are giving feedback, putting our opinions out there. Its their choice to listen.
I don’t feel right voting in this yet. I need to see all the shadows and not just the few I’ve seen from the Arbiter stream. I think the new effects look cool but will definetly miss the after image effect of the current shadow moves.
this purple thing are disgusting. Reminds me of Yoshimitsu bad breath. 
It was because of our feedback Omen received some love on his character model mask. Don’t be so quick to assume, in addition, the devs have made it known that they value our feedback. Numerous times.
Also, should be noted that the VFX are under construction still per the Arbiter stream.
I dig em both! The new purple is probably still be tweeked so ima hold my final verdict til March 29th. The purple does give it a nice dark Ki one feel to it imo.
I do not know why changed, I was actually really like it was before! Maybe leave a little darker, a little more “shadow” and would be perfect.
But honestly, I do not know why they changed. There are so many details that needed to be touched up, and they stir precisely what does not need
