It's a lazy attempt of a character. All they did was "Alright let's take an old character design, implement it as new with a hood on, They won't know it's a kasumi rehash." *Get Ready......Fight* *Opponent knocks her hood out* "Oh snap! they found me out!"
The design of her, yeah it's lazy. I'd wait and see her moveset before making a judgement though. Unless you base your characters entirely off the physical, in which case- continue!
It seems to me Phase 4 is basically gonna be the new Kasumi Alpha, she'll probably be modified Kasumi with old skool style moves and properties with a new move entirely here and there. Alpha-152 is technically a rehash as well in this sense.
I hope to god they give her DOA4 33T... that throw was badass. With all the black mist stuff that seems to come out of her, it'd be awesome. I'm down with her, as long as she doesn't play like our current Kasumi.
They could of at least put Tina's face as the part that would completely shock me and still have their ways of making a clone by playing the in-depth psychology. Regardless of movesets.....She's generally speaking another clone once Kasumi's face popped up.
I do find her intriguing. You can't deny though, if they give her a badass moveset I'm sure all the people complaining now will eat their words. However, if she is indeed a replica- she will be a completely pointless character, in which case I'll even complain to TN ( which I literally never do xD )
The moveset is not the part that bothers me at all, It's her overall character design. They could of made her a bald version of Kasumi with big ears and that would of been 1 step closer into thinking she's not a clone.
But destruction you can't say this is unexpected :/ DOA had been all about kasumi clones since the beginning hell it's basically about kasumi, her clones the ninjas and Donovan. Everyone are just add ins IMO.
