@C-Sword, I made an article on this, but saw you already made the post, so I merged them and made some edits. Thanks for your help!

Looks badass reminds me of a Human Hunter from World of Warcraft.

 

[VenomX-90]

Orale.

 

[Konqrr]

O_O Fuck yeah! My main is back.

 

[AppleSauce]

GET HYPE!!!!

 

[Tavaski]

This is good news. I wonder if Tusk will make a return as well.... oh man (keeping fingers cross)

 

[StevoSuprem0]

[TheSpore]

I honestly love that redesign of Maya, it has much more personality to it

 

[Johnny San]

"She can recapture her daggers. Sort of like a boomerang" "Maya's use of daggers changed the system. Probably won't be mini-ultras in Season Two"

 

[JwabHDTV]

Ehhhhhhhhh, that's cooool.

 

[supernumian]

Worst news ever!

 

[Slymind]

Needs more Tusk though.

 

[Konqrr]

Worst news ever!

Wrong... BEST news ever as now I want to get into KI again.

 

[Mulder]

Bleh Maya's so meh.

 

[G4S KT]

Wow she looks super badass (design wise)

EDIT: fuck the haters, she's my first waifu now. Fight me.

Here's to hoping she's mad cheap

 

[Vulcan Hades]

She looks HOT.

 

[Fred Marvel]

her design looks great but she was so boring in the old games

 

[Rathalos]

She looks much better then KI2 Maya, and KI3 TJ.

 

[kivatt]

She got the freeform dreads, I feeling her character design. I would get an Xbox One and KI just to use on

 

[Supernova]

When's Cinder?

Seriously. It wasn't hard to improve upon her KI2 look, as that was uninspired and boring to say the least. Maya, Tusk, and Kim Wu were totally lame compared to the original cast, especially the characters that didn't make it into KI2, Cinder and Riptor. After the lame reveal of Combo and now this, it's almost like Iron Galaxy is TRYING to kill my KI boner! Ugh...
