New character OMEN revealed

[RunwayMafia]

Artists run out of ideas? He looks terrible

My thoughts exactly. I thought it was a motion capture person at first. Lol

 

[shaowebb]

I think his design is so simple because it meant he would be cheaper to produce. After all, he is a bonus character. Not even certain how you're supposed to alot the budget for his dev time otherwise without going full clone.

 

[BRUTALITY]

i like his design. the mask sucks tho. omen looks like cinder.

 

[Konqrr]

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw Omen:

 

[Atriox]

I like his design but damn, his animations are terrible. I really like his air dash stuff though, excited to try him out.

 

[Brutal Chimney]

KI fans complaining about simple designs is pretty fucking funny not gonna lie

 

[Sajam]

The character's weakness seem to be his reversal game and his damage output.

His only real escape tools cost bar, and don't fully get you out of pressure, and he was doing about 30% for pretty decently long combos without meter.

 

[Tony at Home]

Didn't keits say his light "not-eclipse" worked as a meterless reversal?

Maybe he meant it was like Sabrewulfs light eclipse. No invincibility, but 3 frame startup to bail you out of certain frametraps?

 

[Qwark28]

He looks extremely controlling, I like it. Might buy him.

I was starting to think that i was wheird to find this characterd Horrible, thank god i'm not alone.

 

[Flagg]

I think he looks pretty cool!

 

[LiangHuBBB]

dope

 

[PND_Ketchup]

Terrible character. 90% of his character is recycled from other characters, and is blatantly a way they can shoe horn a lazy "free" character because they're running out of time on their actual characters. If he had a lot of stuff from just Jago, I'd understand. But he has animations from Jago, Spinal, Thunder etc.

I still don't see this guy as a free addon, as you need to spend the most money to own him. It's like they just don't give a damn about him at all.

He looks awesome. His design is a bit recycled, but his specials are probably some of the most interesting in the game. It's been interesting to see how zoners fit into the KI combo-heavy meta, but IG has managed to do it with Kan-Ra, and now they've managed to do it here.

Of course, IG hasn't really officially recognized Kan-Ra as a "zoner", he's still a "trappler" to them. So in their eyes, they really hadn't don't much in the zoning department of the game. This is probably partly responsible for Omen's zoning-oriented moveset.

Jago buffs and Fulgore buffs looked really good. I also liked that they made Jago and Omen's combo trait functional, without having them break the even-nature of the combo system like TJ's trait does.

And IG definitely knows how to add hype into the game- when someone manages to land that 100% potential damage command grab on stream, I can only imagine people's reactions. I'd be going nuts.

If I owned an Xbone, and a TV, and an Xbone compatible hitbox, and a copy of KI... I would totally main the shit out of this guy for the rest of the games lifespan...

One day...

 

[trufenix]

I'm sorry, have we officially just given up on quality control? Like if its free and has a trillion half assed moves who cares?

 

[shaowebb]

I think his zoning is great but what he's gonna excel at the most will be pressure since he has hard to read projectiles as a starter and ouroborous , plus a slide that goes under projectiles and crosses through, plus the ability to net massive meter quick, make his stuff safe with shadow, and kill from blockstrings at full meter.

Why run when you can stay on folks so easily and net such a high reward for doing so is how I would feel playing him. Thing is he can do anything he wants and be good at it. Hell his air tools might just allow him to fuck with Sadira even.
