Little likes:
-Fulgore’s spinning blade walk up on the select screen
-Wulf’s background behind his stage when you lookout the window on the left side
-The way the KI logo folds in to the screen at the very beginning
-The fact that KI gold is now something you can get in Daily Loot
-Riptor’s story being an owner’s manual
-Having multiple announcer voices, including ARIA’s, which I think is underrated
-Discovering my love for a character 3 years after they came out because this roster is so deep, so varied and so fun (Sadira)
-The foreboding music in Shadow Lords
-Fighting shadows in Shadow Lords
-All the designs scrolled on Eyedol’s body
-Thecsheer variety of items in Shadow Lords as well as their creative names and designs
-The entire main area in Shadow Lords. It’s colorful, informative and intuitive
-The spinning purple vortex on each place in SL
-Use of hero art in survival mode
-Kan Ra’s creepy smile and voice
-The women in the game feeling less like T&A window decorations / floatation devices than most other fighters
Little dislikes:
-The balls on Jago’s sash moving around like they have someplace to be while he’s sitting on the ground during his intro
-Combo fonts not matching victory fonts
-Staring at the Checking DLC or Searching For Opponent screens and not seeing something more visually appealing
-Not being able to choose your color in Shadow Lab despite having it in the customize menu
-Triangles and hexagons everywhere on the menus, load up screen, checking DLC screen etc
-KanRa going from being this devious threat that’s been reawakened in season 2 to being this sort of incompetent good guy in season 3
-Sabrewulf’s instinct being my least favorite in the game in spite of him being my favorite character
-Connecting to Ultratech Servers seemingly failing multiple times
-Use of 3D character models on prematch “Fight On” screen. Actually this whole screen could stand to be redone
-TJ Combo’s autobarrage feeling so intrusive on his regular combos to the point that I don’t even want to use him
-Shadow and mimic skins only being recolors with an effect on them and not fully unique skins, though they are nice for what they are
Well, I could keep going, but I’ll leave it at that. Maybe I’ll come back and put a few more in later if I think of any.
