Hey, look, it’s Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
All the more reason to age up Athena so she can be the jaded veteran idol looking at the new kid with a mix of nostalgia and disgust.

Leaked roster from forever ago officially vindicated.
电属性少女歌手 (Teenage Girl Singer with Electric Element)
The leaked image of the roster also clearly shows her with the necklace and stuff, just in case there was any lingering doubt at all.
in this video Kyo has a certain plastic surgery gone bad vibe… more than usually I mean
Why did they give her the most annoying voice possible? Kyary doesn’t sound that stupid in regular conversations.
Overall better than SFV’s Laura though.
Sylvie looks like she could be an alternate costume for a Maximum Impact character.
Terry in that pachislot game looks like a Resident Evil character from an alternate dimension.
Wait, how are you playing that? Are there pachinko emulators??!
I’ve seen some piecemeal comparisons of Kyo’s model as the trailers go on. Is there an up-to-date resource on this?
As the development goes on, every new character looks better than the last. The ongoing Kyo problem is kind of hilarious, though.
I never thought I’d say this but I miss the way Kyo looked during the reveal trailer. (Trailer 3/4/5 is probably the best.)
Lots and lots of pachislot games get mobile adaptations. SNK’s stuff went on sale for like $2 (these things typically range from $12-20) so I picked up Fatal Fury Premium, Samurai Shodown, and Sky Love 2. They are all boring.

That jacket is awful.
Yeah what happened to the cool outfit from 99?
Bad steampunk basically means gluing functionless gears all over a thing. Is there a word for putting random buckles on your clothing? Pilgrim Punk?
besides the bad face, the hairstyle was somewhat iconic and more bobbly, neatly parted in the middle. This is a new haistyle completely(and the portrait in the leak confirms it) and all considered he barely looks like Kyo.
This is really the only major bummer I have right now, everything else is good enough, of course after seeing the decent hair animation in the new character I’m hoping to see Andy and Terry getting some at all.
If it includes zippers, Nomurization

Didn’t say before, but thanks for doing this. It’s illustrative.
You got to give SNK credit for trying. They’re not just letting this one slide. But boy, you’re right. They’re in the land of diminishing returns at this point.
More like No-More-ization, am I right?
Yeah, it’s clear they’re using Kyo as the albino bunny for all of their new digital cosmetics and hair products. They’re trying so damned hard to make his character model work, they’re throwing everything at it. Presumably some of this work will radiate out and affect the other characters. Now they’ve put in that hair animation, so it’s hard to think they won’t apply it everywhere they can, given enough time.
Kyo has worn many jackets in his time. You can tell from the pixels.
Of all the Kusanagi jackets, this is by far the least effective. It’s just… frippy. Previously I thought his Max Impact outfit was a high water mark of pointless, but at least that was stylish.
I wouldn’t mind if he just continued with his Ash-era leather jacket. That was simple and timeless, and fit his silhouette. It’s something a person could easily get away with wearing every day for years.
Got to say, though, Kyo’s model is just about the only problem I have with this game so far. And in that light, it’s not like it’s a problem – it’s such a comedy of errors that I find its ongoing disaster a hoot.
