The Hsien-Ko wishlist

I think the biggest buff to Hsien-Ko would be to give her an alternate costume without that hat. I swear that thing distracts me enough to mess up corner gong loops.

I want her Lv. 3 to be a Flying Guillotine.

Never heard of a Flying Guillotine? Then you need to watch some more old Kung Fu movies:

Legendary Chinese weapon. Throw at people, land on head, chop it off. Was probably just an execution device, though. I want to do this so bad to Dante and Wesker’s smug faces, even if it doesn’t actually decapitate them (much to my dismay).

Okay, that’s all.

Her hair reminds me of Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls. Come on, we all watched that show at one point or another.

I really don’t have anything to add, do I?

Also, since Wright gets to have Maya follow him around, could we get Mei-Ling during Dark Force and Hsien-Ko’s VSav intro back please? That’s a badass intro.

I’d love this, actually.

If Hsien-Ko gets a level 3 hyper, I’d think it should be an anti air hyper grab like She Hulk’s Taking Out The Trash. She should throw out her claws like Edoga but much faster and it’s a grab instead. I guess the animation can be her slamming the victim down to the ground multiple times like Skrull’s Elastic Slam then finally fling the victim to the wall, cause a wall bounce, then let her have enough time to dash and continue the combo. Yes, this is a serious idea.

Speaking of Edoga, I had this random idea where Edoga and F.M should be able to charge for a better version. Fully charged Edoga would completely go full screen, deal chip damage on block, and on hit, she pulls them in front of her and is able to combo afterwards. Fully charged F.M would cause a wall bounce and while charging, it would have 3 points of super armor (I’m pretty sure a zombie wouldn’t normally flinch in the first place). I think I am getting a bit desperate on more changes.

Anything she can get at this point is fine with me, honestly. Because she isn’t going to get anything. Apparently, she’s the same from last build when someone tested her out at NYCC (someone picked her but the stream switched to SFxT right before she switched in, uggh), but the guy doesn’t play her so he said he couldn’t tell whether she was faster or not, though he thought she was.

We’ll just wait for that changelog, I guess.

I know I shouldn’t like it…but I do.

Bring back Lin Lin.

If Phoenix Wright can have Maya and a dog, least you can do is give Lei Lei her sis back. =/

Yeah, I’m happy for Wright and all, but when I saw who he brought along, I was a little peeved. Especially because she would appear way less than Maya anyway (a five-second hyper, maybe an intro).

Speaking of which, I want her VSav intro back. This “fall on my ass and stutter out a nihao” stuff is weak. I want Lin Lin to tag herself onto Lei Lei’s hat while she stands there holding a claw with an angry expression and her hand on her hip looking all cute and badass (yes, Capcom, it’s possible). And the timeout pose with her looking away from the screen and kicking the iron ball that falls out of her sleeve. I love that pose.

Speaking of timeout poses, her normal one with her slouching over is probably what happens if she’s KO’d by Wright’s Lv.3. Doom does a similar slump of humiliation and defeat in the Wright trailer.

Another Hyper where Mei-Ling materialises into her human form and fights along side Hsien-Ko would be pretty cool, could be a level 3 like Firebrand’s.

ditto on the ikuyo lei-lei bit.

Lin-Lin doesn’t really physically fight by the way

Also i’ve mentioned this 3 times before, but my wish… REMODEL HER CAPCOM GODDAMNIT THERE ARE SO MANY INACCURACIES ARIJGIJHOPFGJ

Her face looked really weird on the blog post about her alt colors.

Speaking of which, they really didn’t try on those colors. Is sad day.

What inaccuracies? :o I’m not a hardcore Hsien-Ko buff so I haven’t spotted them.

Here are a few:

  • No fangs
  • Eye shape too wide
  • Mouth too large (this destroys a lot of the cute factor she once had)
  • Head too small
  • Lower back is covered by dress (should be the blue robing, inaccuracy originated from resin figure) HENCE THE PRESENCE OF BOW HOLDING THE TWO ARTICLES TOGETHER
  • Iris too bright (she’s always had a darker brown/redish, another resin figure inaccuracy)
  • Hair lost its corner folds
  • Too few bangs
  • Bust hole/window too moved up and box shaped
  • Clothes lack drapery
  • Hat is flat edged
  • Arms aren’t toned enough
  • Overall proportions is too realistic, making her look a bit underexaggerated, out of place with the rest of the cast, even the marvel super heroes

A lot of these could be fixed with simple consistency and proper reference checking from the artist that worked on it (I think the references he used is the Night Warriors ending picture, the ‘girls statue’ resin figure AND the Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors TV show.).

I know my model isn’t the greatest either (marred by canned skeletons causing her arms to go nuts), but it’s more closer to her character than the MVC3 one is.

Oh god that bow mess-up is going to bug the hell out of my OCD side now

Hopefully they don’t just use a straight model rip for the Darkstalkers in DS4 like they did with SFxT, for her sake. Her dress is shiny and looks like it’s made out of vinyl sometimes too.

Thanks for pointing out what makes her face look weird in this game. I couldn’t figure it out besides the fangs. I miss those fangs.

I think they tried to make the DSers look less monster-like in this game, which I think worked out for Morrigan and Felicia. Not so for LL, though they probably didn’t spend so much time on her model anyway compared to most of the cast.

Morrigan looks more like a cat than her old self. That definitely sucks.

You’re right. Her face is more pointed in this game. I think Felicia looks… younger or something too. Not sure what it is. Still, Capcom needs to return to models closer to the originals in DS4. Then again, there’s SF4, where everyone seems to have gained a 30% increase in muscle mass…

Could always be Box Art Morrigan… uggh.

Yeah I get the feeling that they were going for more normal proportions (maybe due to being 3D). Compare Felicia to her sprite, she has a more voluptuous figure, bigger muscles and a wider stance in DS. I do get the feeling they toned down the sexiness too, remember how the artwork for Morrigan is more covered up, could probably attribute Felicia’s stance not being as wide and not as much boobage for Hsien-Ko to that as well.
Heck even Ibuki had a bit more cloth added in SSF4.

If Ono gets his hands on DS4 I’d bet on a modified SF4 engine so it won’t be the same models, he’ll probably respect the characters more than Nitsuma or whatever he’s called as well. Then again, look at how they fudged up Chun-Li o_O

And yet, every female in the game sans Tron and X-23 is sporting DD tits.

Yeah. Remember the MVC3 character promo art for Hsien-Ko?

That was fucking creepy.

That’s pretty true to the character though :lol: Every Marvel girl has big breasts, at least the ones that are fully matured (even X has pretty big ones for her age too). Other than Tron, can only think of Felicia, Morrigan and Hsien-Ko on Capcom’s side and we all know they’re all quite top heavy… oh and Trish, I missing anyone? :rofl: Oh Chun-Li, she’s always had pretty big boobs too. There any female character in MvC3 other than Tron that is normally depicted with small or regular sized boobs?

What is this? Have I walked into the Skullgirls forums?

Nah, no hate for SG. Game looks fun.

Felicia’s the buffest when it comes to the DS sprites. Rei Rei ain’t no waif either, though she’s more toned than anything.

Do you mean her MvC3 character art, where she’s sitting on her claws? When I first saw that, I just thought, “That’s not Lei Lei.” Hell, a lot of fanart does a better job on her face. The Ultimate art still doesn’t look a whole lot like her, but it’s better and easier to look at.
