I think the reactions on some forums and on Harada's twitter are more embarrassing to look at than the trailer itself.
That isn't necessarily talking of this board, but it's important to understand that we're talking about something subjective. No one's going to convince someone else to like/not like the character. No one's 'not allowed' to dislike the character, but we should avoid slamming each other. No one's going to 'win' this debate, you know what I mean?
As for me:
Her hair reminds me of Marie Rose from DOA, but her height, body, face and mannerisms weren't any different than the women on that anniversary presentation stage. So I don't think the the claims that its a perverted character from other forums hold up. She's the adult pop idol that's paid to act stupidly cute.
Aesthetically it's too much for me. I think it's the pink fur half-coat with cat paw mittens built in. If they dropped one of the design choices: the coat, or the tutu, or gave her some track-pants she'd be a lot better. Still I'm not going to sit here and demand she be removed from the game. I'll live.
Gameplay wise she seems to have some capo-esque animations along with some Ling ones. She might be a replacement for Eddy/Christie? As long as she doesn't B+1,4 and relax stance all day I'll be okay with her. I feel bad if those were your faves, though.
Harada seems pretty disappointed in how people are voicing their opinions. It's one thing to not like the character. With Tekken's vast cast there's bound to be at least one character we don't like, either aesthetically or moveset wise. That doesn't mean you spew that much venom. (Not directed at anyone in particular here, but I would sleep on it before coming to conclusions just be safe).
