I actually think the effect is pretty tame… stuff like Dragon Ball (with kid Goku) had more violent scenes than this.
It's even less noticeable during gameplay imo.
I think you can see Kasumi's bruised/damaged face at the end of the reveal trailer, right? At least it matches up with the bruising in the close-ups above.
Overall I think both effects communicate fairly well what they want to express without coming off as excessively/unnecessarily brutal or gory.
But I guess seeing 1-2 face punches per round might get old pretty fast… pretty sure we will be able to turn off the bruises (just like sweat and dirt), but I'm not sure about the face punch.
They should reduce the blood effect on FR though. This looks super dramatic for a combo that does about the same damage as a 6T command throw…
