shout outs to the trailer department, that shit looks corny as fuck in reality. Looks like he plays fun at least, but I don't even see any traps or grappling.

That stage finisher was a joke. I think they could have done something better with it.
The stage Finisher is fine. It makes sense for what is happening in the background. Also you get sucked into a portal and see how you look while its happening. :p. Hehe. Also Kan Ra look amazing. If i had KI i would Main him. And then if i won with him in tournament i would do his win quote.
 
He's a zoner. I've been playing him all morning and "Trappler" is just their word for "ooooh, look how unique our character is!", but he's really a zoner.

But he's a straight up 100% zoner, who just happens to have a half-screen grapple. The effect of his grapple really isn't that different than Glacius's Shatter attack. It's basically a way to start combos when your opponent is far away.

He plays similarly to Lex and Glacius, in that you want to constantly pollute the screen with crap like Scarab swarms and Sand Traps.

The fact that the culmination of whatever insane spell / magic he's working is a sand tornado with lamps and books in it is lame enough, then he makes a looney tunes skull out of his own toilet paper.

Why they couldn't just have a giant mummified hand pop out and pull them away is beyond me.

I think getting sucked into it is fine. But it looks SO bad the way it's animated. It's on some SNES KI stage finisher levels of bad.

Great idea but poorly executed.

Why? Sorry, i don't get the whole streaming thing. I mean no disrespect.
I'll give you just a few of the many many reasons to stream, especially a new character in a new game

1. Someone learning the game can learn by watching guys that compete in it, play others. It's a great way to level up know only your game but your knowledge of it.

2. Someone not playing the game can stumble upon it, like it, and say "hey, I might try that" thus building the community which is what this is all about.

3, MORE LIKES

4. It's a way of others to critique you live which is something that cannot be done any other way outside of an actual meetup. Which is very unique.

5. Helps with nerves. Us tournament players know what nerves can be in a tournament setting. Streaming with viewers believe it or not can actually give you nerves, the willingness to want to perform and succeed. I know I get nervous streaming long sets with great players, simply cause I want to friggin win.

6. Esports

7. Great way to just chat with your friends, can be as simple as that as well.
 
Maaaaaan, this character makes people so salty. I've hardly heard a peep when playing people online in KI for the longest time. Now it's like all I hear:

"YOU RUN AWAY LIKE A LITTLE B*"

For ask those complaining. It's supposed to look "corny" and look "goofy" it is a nod to the snes stage finishers. I personally love it. It gives me that feel of nostalgia.

Holy crap all the sand in the screen got me mad hype.

Although the stage finisher looks terribly bad. The vaccum physics are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off target and the way the objects hit her while she's in the air is just plain dumb.
