Yeah, the box art is kind of weird. Hawkeye gets center-stage, though he admittedly does have a pretty heroic bow pose. I didn’t even see Ko on there until I saw the full poster.
Anyway. PAX is this week. Hopefully some kind soul tests our poor girl out.
I think Shinkiro probably got to pick it to an extent, and she was a character he never got to draw for the promotional art in the first game. It wouldn’t surprise me if he just figured drawing characters he hadn’t drawn previously was a better idea for the new game. Totally just a guess though.
I’m kinda surprised they unveiled the cover art so soon though. I woulda figured they’d wait and get more of the twelve new ones.
I just really hope they don’t find Hsien Ko “fine” as is and don’t give her anything else. Some characters are getting whole new moves and we get…a couple more projectiles. Awesome.
Yeah, like I was hoping everyone would get extreme makeovers like Ryu did. That fucker looks like he won’t play anything like old Ryu.
So that’s what the command grab is for!
Hsien-Ko is too good at hugging, as witnessed by your avatar. She’d be OP’d in Street Hugger.
Actually, according to Seth, it’s a new command grab executed by performing :hcb::s:. Lei Lei hugs the opponent, restoring their health and giving them 1/3 meter.
Ah. Yes, in Street Hugger, provided she had Demitri on her team to DHC from Midnight Bliss, Lei Lei’s hugging power would be a 10-0 matchup everytime.
I kinda want to play this now!
I want a Pocket Fighter sequel/rerelease.
pocket fighter is on PSN. got it for 2.99 the other day.
so… much…cute…fighting…
Only on Xbox myself unfortunately.
they don’t have it on the Xbox? I’m suprised.
bummer
I half-assedly tried to get my friend to buy Pocket Fighter on the PSN.
“Oh, hey, Pocket Fighter. That game’s supposed to be fun. Has Hsien-Ko and Morrigan in it and everything.”
“Why the hell do Morrigan’s legs look so weird?”
“Dunno. Chun-Li’s are bigger, of course.”
And that was that.
NEED HSIEN-KO INFO
While you guys talk about hugs and Pocket Fighter, I want my Hsien-Ko to be a killing machine, shredding anyone into pieces and leaving behind a bloody trail, literally. There’s nothing wrong with a blue undead monster actually be a blue undead monster. A man can hope.
That… would be pretty sweet.
What? Are you mad? Why should she actually be able to tear people apart with those massive claws and crush them under giant weights and impale them on towering swords when she can hug people? And what the hell is a mixup to her? You’re crazy, and I hope Capcom never hires you.
I’ve got to be careful about what I say. Seth may be reading this for all I know and at TGS, hey, she gets a hug grab.
PAX tomorrow. Someone out there: try her out. We beg you.
Well, at least our girl’s face isn’t covered up anymore:
Quality’s bad, so I’ll just point out that she’s in the upper-right corner flinging a claw and holding an iron ball or something.
I like how Deadpool and PW’s points are making a dramatic spark.
Mind is still blown that Phoenix Wright is about to be a fighting game character.
I want to see Phoenix Wright’s trailer SO BAD. I am really, really curious as to what Capcom has done with the character. He’s on my “Not srs bsns” team for sure.
