From what I’ve seen, she’s highly requested as the fourth (and most of the time final) guest, and I’d personally really enjoy her included in the cast. I don’t doubt she was voted a lot on that survey. Even has a current and retro picked out for her.
What do you guys think? Got a shot or chances are shot?
I really don’t know how to answer this question, I think KI could do with a gunslinger type character and Joanna would indeed fill that slot “perfectly” and I would love to see her in the game! But at the same time I would much rather the gunslinger archetype go to an orginal character that has a secured place in KI lore. Like a John Marston / Erron Black type cowboy
Just to add for those not familiar with gun characters- reference persona 4 ultimax
Aegis and I forget the other guy on there. They seem to have perfect Balance in a game of fighting characters with strengths and weaknesses.
Part of the reason she scores so high in my opinion is not that she is so desired, although I’m sure many sincerely do, but that many people who don’t want guests feel that if they had to have one they would want Joanna Dark. But to me choosing old retro games kind of defeats the purpose of the guest. Which is in my mind to get new players playing the game. And I think selecting a character from current popular games is a better choice in that regard.
My guess is people want jonna because they don’t have jonna. Then when they do have her then they forget about it. Usually how the vocal majority works.
IMO Joanna would be a character with really powerful zoning capabilities, with ranged combos.
She could have a linker that makes her walk away from her opponent, another one which makes her walk closer and deal more damage up close(shotgun comes to mind), and during Instinct, she switchs her weapons for alien weapons, dealing more damage, chip, and hitstun.
