When you think about it, Team Ninja was just being ahead of the curve when it comes to terrible monetization with that whole hair color change fiasco, it looked awful at the time but now that all the big boy fighting games are practicing awful monetization tactics suddenly it doesn't look as bad
ah yes, this Stellar Blade "controversy" once again has a bunch of maidenless men arguing over how to properly represent a woman in a videogame, just throw the whole case out :/
So according to Wikipedia, Kasumi's character was originally designed to be a guy; sadly the only reference for this statement is a 2002 Japanese artbook so it's hard to verify this info, but could you imagine DOA if it was lead by a guy from the start? hard to envision but I wouldn't oppose it
hearing that A.K.I was originally planned to be a charge character but was swapped to motion at the last minute annoys me to my core, I mean I get that original charge characters aren't super popular (FANG, Decapre) but it'd nice to have options besides 30 yr old legacy characters :/

6 months in and MK1 still hasn't given players a reason to not to abuse the hell out of Kung Lao low hat, fingers crossed the surprise balance patch does something about that
"I've never played FF7" is the videogame equivalent to "I've never seen Star Wars", that old ass piece of media that ppl feel to need to get all up in your face about if you dare say you never experienced it
