Sounds like a modern fighting game char to me :)
All she needs now is a V-Trigger
I mean that's everyone in Strive. Almost every GG main lost half their attacks to simplify the game and make it more approachable and balanaced.
I've made my peace about it a long time ago. Game is still fun, but it's just a different GG than GG used to be and that is ok. Both can exist.
OK, obviously have no idea how good/bad she'll be, but on paper that moveset is absolutely awful.
Like I genuinely don't understand how no one said "maybe we should give her more stuff?" during the design stages.
The design is whatever though. Her classic design, well X-X2, is probably my favourite FG design of all time, but this is practically if not exactly her Rev 2 design, and I made peace with the fact it's a bit crap 5 years ago.

Character designs are a huge reason why most people love fighting games. Silly thing to say just because you don't want to read about how absolutely stupid Baiken's design is now.
I would take spending 50 tension to temporarily get access to Azami and Suzuran at this point but nope instead she needs to spend meter now to just shoot her god damn gun
Interesting. I've been taking a break on the game since before the first DLC character came out. Waiting for the new story mode stuff to get back in and try them all. So Happy Chaos is more like Xrd complexity?
The old guard cancel Baiken will never be a thing in a modern fighting game it was terrible game design
I dont know what hes talking about...Chaos is the most braindead character ASW has ever created...just throw orb and shoot gun...no thought, free zoning, free pressure, free mixup
Which is why she got changed for Xrd
I cannot believe we live in a world where her whole Xrd moveset is not a problem in fucking Samsho but she gets gutted in a new GG
You're wrong and should feel bad, but even so, it's not like they didn't already simplify/streamline that in the last game.
At this point I'm amazed Zato-1 actually got Eddie.
Looks like her breasts aren't the only thing that have gotten bigger. Look at that hair.
He's just very execution heavy. Damn near every move he needs to do in his strings revolve around quarter circle inputs and meter management. TWO meters. Ammo and focus.
This type of thinking is why charge chars have started getting motion movesets, and it makes me sick.
Has to use negative edge to make his normals not dreadful, has no real Heavy Slash, no reversal, 2 resources to manage (technically 3 with Curse upkeep) and one of them will send you into basically an involuntary taunt animation if you screw up, and kinda has 2 stances, both of them making him lose the ability to block.
Happy Chaos has to do 2 moves for any 1 move of a regular character.
Azami would have been too good in strive still. Offense in Strive is not crazy enough to warrant it at least ressource free
What is this nonsense? Even more amusing when Nago exists in the game. I'd go into further details but others have already.
They don't really look bigger in that specific comparison though?
so I'm just going use this as a bit of a jumping off point:
I've seen this style of post in this kind of thread where a female character design gets criticized in this particular way where someone(s) tries acting above it all or say they don't get why people treat it like a big deal and like
and I'm going be completely serious here, I'm not being ironic in anyway whatsoever: just be honest and say you don't mind or like the design changes (or lack there of depending on the context of a thread)
it would actually be less incendiary for threads like these because that arguments gets cut down to it being your actual opinion on the matter (or rather, a lot of the time being what companies do in response to the perception that you're a large enough part of their customer base, whether right or wrong, to consider when making character designs) rather than people getting increasingly mad at other people who by all appearances do have a position on the thing being talked about, they just don't want to actually talk about it (and thus leaves in room for interpretation as to why that person has a position on it that could be more malicious than the usual, actual reasons of "yeah I'm part of the horny on main target audience they made these changes for" or "honestly I don't mind this design at all")

Time to fap... Play her excuse me
Damn, her English voice is great!
I can understand why people are upset about her moveset being gutted, but as somewhat of an outsider looking in, wasn't it always a thing that Baiken was a super popular character that barely anyone actually liked playing?
Maybe the developers are hoping that making her easy to play will actually have more people playing her?

Kansai = US South I guess when it comes to localization lmao
I think the same thing happen for Labrys in P4 Arena
Are you talking in terms of popularity online? Hasn't really been my impression.
If it's her, while I would've preferred an ethnically-accurate VA, at least they'd be getting a person of color. Plus I always support more Black VAs succeeding in the industry.
It's hard to say. In that gif they don't look bigger, but in other shots it looked like they were bouncing all over the place.
Maybe it's just a case of seeing what you expect to see based on the new art and the general audience reaction.
That does make sense: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KansaiRegionalAccent
I think that joke mostly stems from the fact she has a revealing design and only horny dudes play her (not for her moveset). But yeah, she'll probably see a lot more picks.
I like her design, I am glad they didn't change it, but taking azami/surazan instead is like a divine punishment for lust
I regret it all
What annoys me the most is they could have easily let her keep Suzuran with the follow ups but remove the guard point that way her parry gameplay is still nerfed while her moveset isn't gutted that much. Sadly the word fun still doesn't seem to be at the top when it comes to designing characters
This likely sounds more sexist than you were intending unless you actually believe boobs are her singular trait as a character in sum.
