Good stuff.
The first thing I thought when I saw Ivy's concept art was "Oh shit! They nerfed her boobs!" But then I saw her in-game model, "Nope...No, they're still there. They're just covered..." I kinda like this look for her. It kinda resembles a combination of her P1 costume in SCIII, and her P2 costume in SCII. Hopefully they'll give her back her stances from SCII as well. Then I'll start playin' her again. Wow, a lot of y'all really hated her SCIV P1 costume, huh...? Hmm....I can't think of anything else to say about that. Oh well.
I have to say, Twoki looks a lot better in-game compared to her concept art. Though, that ponytail on top of her head still looks really stupid. Hmm...Maybe Ghengis_John[?] right; maybe she IS just goin' Super...The fact that she's doin' Taki's Fan dance move [B+K, A] kinda has me worried that she's just goin' to be another clone, but I'm still optimistic that she'll be her own character once the game comes out.
Well, I knew that that new guy wasn't goin' to be Raphael, but I thought that guy was for sure goin' to wield an eastern weapon. Dead wrong on that account, Though I still think his weapon's pretty damn cool. deuxhero brought up an intersetin' point about him and the Tira comparison. He does have two wind stream effect colors, and his name does mean two. Hell, he even has a highlight in his hair that resembles Tira's highlight placement on he SCIV P2 costume...! But I wouldn't hold my breathe for this speculation. I'm still really hopin' to see her in this game.
That night stage looks very cool, and the concept of a "boundless" stage really sound intriguin', but I can only imagine stages like that to be a "Turtle's Paradise". So I'm not that excited to see an inclusion of that type of stage in this series.
All in all though, Good Stuff.
Edit: That blue wind stream effect that Zwei has in one of those pics is most likely a Guard Breakin' move. My bad...
