I hate kimberly so much

[Gleap]

Not enough things can ever be said about how god awful Kimberly is as a character. Shes just so annoying hearing her talk takes years off my life and allowing her level 3 music to override jukebox or really even exist is one of the worst things I have seen in a fighting game.

I actually cannot play well when shes on screen because I am too irritated by every crappy noise she makes. I get put at an actual disadvantage from her 3 as I have to mute the game every single time.

Shhhh not so loud OyajiBR! Capcom might mail you a cease and desist letter. Just like the guy who tried to improve the netcode within 2 days in SFV.

The enthusiasm some people have to say how much they hate Kimberly is creepy. Like I said before, to me the only problem is her default design. It's important that a design reveals a character's personality AND skills at first sight, but all we see is a hip hop girl. If she had just an improvised mask and hidden daggers like Ibuki's SF5 default, that would be a lot better. If I knew how to mod, I'd add just these details.

I disagree here. Her default costume has references to Guy. The bandanna is a pretty common ninja trope attire as well. Lastly her idol stance is a callback to Guy as well

I like that it doesn't dive too much into ninja tropes, as that would've made her quite generic. Costume 3 for example has a lot more of those, and I personally find costume 1 more original compared to it. Costume 2 is her best look imo, and it has barely any ninja resemblance, and that's perfectly fine

Costume 2, especially in some colours, comes dangerously close to being a JoJo outfit, and that's fiiiine by me.

For someone so excited about ninjutsu, Kimberly's default design should have more ninja. The improvised mask and hidden daggers are just an example, but could be anything else as long as it makes us understand her at first sight. Even Lily's default tells a lot about her although it's lame and she looks much better in outfit 3. But I had zero idea that Kimberly was a ninja until I saw the story. That bandana doesn't remind me of Guy. Her outfit 2 is good, it shows her hip hop side while outfit 3 shows her ninja side. But the default is the one people see most and it should say more about her, but it doesn't.

So Kimberly doesn't use daggers. She uses spray cans, which u can see on her belt. Also, Kimberly's Outfit 3 is a fully realized ninja outfit -- arguably the best Outfit 3 released.

Another point, Kimberly's martial art is Bushiryu which she learned from Guy. There are no weapons in Bushiryu. Ibuki uses Ninjitsu, which is a different martial art.

Kimberly doesn't use ninjitsu. She uses Bushinryu and doesn't use daggers.

I understood what Kimberly was all about upon first sight:

A total cool character.

But I didn't. Many people didn't. A good design must make its purpose (the character) understood by most people at first sight. I did say above, doesn't have to be daggers, anything else about ninja would do the work. I also said, for someone so excited about ninja and Japan, it would make sense if she had bushin 武神 on her outfit just like Guy has on his. Small detail that would help a lot.

If that's the only thing bothering you, just go to Nexusmods

Catering to the lowest common denominator would mean explaining things to the point of paralysis. Sometimes you have to start at a higher rung.

No one is insulted, unless you yourself are insulting them. Capcom certainly isn't insulting anyone, so why would you imply that they are? Seems like you have a secret agenda.

115 iq word salad.

Sorry man, "I am too ignorant to be held accountable for the baseless opinions I spout" is not a strong argument. It is not anyone's just to ensure that you specifically like a character's design. It's not their job to ensure that you "understand" it. Different characters are made for different people. I know it's shocking to learn that you aren't the center that the world revolves around, but I trust that you, in time, will be able to deal with it.

My opinion is based on my design studies. Sylvie and Shun'ei from KOF have similar problem. Save your anger for people who hate her with abnormal passion, I'm not one of them.
