Shakey Cam Footage of Hisako/Ghost Girl







Footage of the Hisako (Ghost Girl) in action. Once the full panel is uploaded I will update.

Note: She is still being worked on / not 100% finished just yet.

She's kinda fun looking. I always like counter characters, and it's neat how they really played into the Sadako/Ring design of slow walk to sudden teleport dash.
I hate how she has such big special properties on her auto-doubles and whatnot though. I hate when games give specific characters large exceptions to how they handle the game's core mechanics.

Max VA for story
....

the new character is really good bit disappointed by the game modes though the shadow mode is a good idea but the season 2 story was expected was hoping for more announcements though and the q and a thing was pretty quick (though they could have had a limited time for that)

Here's Max's first draft at narrating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL4wNxTcYek&feature=youtu.be&t=9m51s

Adam Isgreen also confirmed that she will be released this week, but her trailer may be delayed because they want to make Cinder (the teaser at the end) look awesome.

Hisako Reveal Trailer; Cinder Tease

She will be released tomorrow.

CU Available date and time (UTC): 9:00AM UTC – 3/27/2015
CU Mandatory date and time (UTC): 4:00PM UTC – 3/27/2015

Cool to have times

Cinder was cool.

Cinder looks good, he is my favourite KI character so I'm hype for him. I always thought he was American (a convicted criminal from NYC?, I could be imagining that) but it sounds like he has a very british accent in the teaser? Weird. Anyway I can't wait to see how they flesh him out, I hope he keeps his mirage and invisibility moves (mirage would be interesting as it allows projectiles to pass through him, invisiblity might be OP depending on his design, however in the original KI you could still see his flames when he went invisible. I hope they try and include it). I'm sure they'll give him some new moves? All his original moves are cool, the flip kick is godlike. Maybe they'll get rid of inferno and give him a projectile of his own?

Can't wait to see his ultra too

Adam Isgreen (Creative Director at MS) said he isn't British according to this tweet.

I'm pretty hype for Cinder myself. I thought that maybe they could make his "invisibility" ability his "Instinct". Imagine trying to break auto doubles and manuals that you can't see! As for the rest of his moves, the MS team have said to expect to see them return since they want him to play identical to his old self in the classic KI ... minus the broken stuff

Hisako looks pretty cool. I really wish this game was on PS4, I'd play the **** out of it.

Why not save up some money on the side for the xbone? you won't regret it, KI is a really good game. Or wait a bit longer for a possible PC version but that's not guaranteed (maybe for Season 3) and tournaments are played on XBO anyway thus you need a XBO stick.

Ah, I see, glad he's not british, was going crazy wondering! I'd love to see how they handle his invisibility and mirage moves. Flipkick was the coolest KI move ever, better be his breaker animation :cool:
