I recall Mai's model looked a bit more questionable when we first saw the teaser, but then seeing it in action in the gameplay looked great and eased those doubts. Once we see her in action, then I expect to be more sold on the Elena look. Returning characters have also tended to have their classic costumes as their secondary outfit so good chance we get that here too.
Speaking of Mai, I never understood why some people disliked the model. The only issue I found was the angles used during her character introduction, but aside from that, her face was pretty, and her figure was gorgeous
Did people complain because of the overall style looking different from her KoF design? Or because it looked like Capcom was going to budget-cut her figure?
Being honest, I was fine with her model from the beginning
Yeah I agree. Not really a fan of new hairstyle. Is it absolutely atrocious? No, but after seeing her old skin brought into HD, the new hair is definitely lackluster and weird.
