Psylocke needs a redesign.

[Joeycentral]

I personally do not like the way they designed her in this game. I feel she is more like Genshi from Overwatch and less like Psylocke from the comics. Why didnt they make her a katana wielder? Personally, I would rather she used her katana as a primary weapon since that is what she used in the comics. She never used a gun and I feel this version of her is very lore inaccurate.

I truly hope they redesign her character in the future because I feel she is poorly designed in this game and that is heartbreaking ffrom a Psylocke fan.

Coming from someone who grew up with the cartoons and playing the Xmen game on Gamegear... This actually upset me as well. It really made no sense to me why they changed her to be basic asian ninja instead of Space Ninja with "magic" Sais type fist weapons

Though i do understand they pulled away from her cool fist power type weapon in most media still sucks

Agreed honestly I dont even feel like she is a ninja. She is just a stealth punisher basically. No originality or homage to her lore. ITs like the devs of this game doesnt even know who she is as a character, so they just made her as boring and generic as possible. I guess all we can do is cross our fingers nad hope we make enough noise so the devs can possilby redesign her. If they are going the route of nerfing her (which I hope they do BTW), then I hope this is the route they go instead of simply toning her dmg down.

The Devs are just a Chinese company... i highly doubt they know much about these characters

This is a unique version of Psylocke named Sai, who is different from the ones in the comics. Probably a good decision because the Psylocke in the comics has a lot of weirdness in her backstory where she was a British woman named Betsy Braddock inhabiting the body of a Japanese woman named Kwannon.

The Psylocke in this game is a ninja from feudal Japan (lore-wise, the heroes in this game were plucked from a lot of different timelines and multiverses), and although she still has the ability to manifest the iconic cool wristblades (it's her melee attack), her most identifying ability apart from other versions of the character seems to be that she can manifest a psychic wrist-mounted crossbow. This helps her fit more easily into the third-person shooter genre.

See I dont like this Psylocke. Reason why is because the crossbow makes her seem too generic. The Psylocke I grew up with isnt the Sai one, so I wanted the original one.

Yeah every other hero is a version that we're all familiar with. When I saw Psylocke I had absolutely no idea what the hell I was looking at. X-Men's comic Psylocke is incredible. Even if they tweaked her backstory (being as odd as it is) there, they still should've made her at least SIMILAR to the original. But it really is such a huge let-down when so many parts of the game and the homage to characters are so great (minus the very odd voice choices for Dr. Strange and Thor. I get they're UBER famous but... xD cmon, At least make them voice characters that FIT.)

Different strokes I suppose. I really like this version of Psylocke. She's divorced from all the body swapping weirdness that plagues the original version of the character.

She can finally just be a cool ninja with psychic wristblades.

I feel the same way about Star-Lord. In the comics he uses an elemental gun. In Marvel Rivals, he's just a clone of Tracer from Overwatch. Imagine how cool it would have been to have Star-Lord controlling the four elements in this game.

True but I do wish there was two Psylockes in this game: one for ranged and the other for melee
