I've been on quite a Killer Instinct binge lately, thanks to the latest (and I think, best) character so far introduced into the roster- Hisako, the Ghost Girl! A former Japanese Samurai's daughter in the Feudal Era, Hisako died fighting bandits who invaded her village. She has risen from her grave to wreak vengeance on those responsible for desecrating her shrine- none other than the villainous Ultratech and its minions.
So I guess this kinda makes her a good guy, even if she's pretty creepy.
Obvioualy, Hisako was patterned after things like the Ring movie or The Grudge (Ju-On), and her execution is perfect. Animation-wise, voice, fighting style- Iron Galaxy hit it perfectly. But of course, the best part is she's barefoot, like every good Ghostly Woman should.
Of course, those aren't the most kissable or clean babe feet to worship, but as an overall package, Hisako is still fetching for a vengeful spirit. I imagine there will be a lot of fans out there who will still find her- um, look- quite appealing.
In any case, Hisako's gameplay is pretty cool and I admit I have found myself so much more into the game after her release. She's certainly become my favorite fighter to use, even if I still think Maya (retro outfit) is the game's best-looking barefoot babe (and the one who's feet and soles I'd prefer in my face.... hahaha).
The game still has one more potential barefoot babe- hoping that Iron Galaxy has designed the mysterious ARIA the way we want her... barefoot and evil and gorgeous. For now though, we have Maya and Hisako to enjoy in this game- one babe hot, tall and sexy, the other cold, beautiful and scary. Works for me!
It's been a grueling months-long wait, but finally, FINALLY, we've got barefoot Maya back in Killer Instinct, as she should be. No more of that armored stranger we had before- the proper Maya, unshod Amazon Warrior Queen that she is, has retaken the throne. Heheh. Anyways, the Classic/Retro Maya outfit isn't exact to the original, but I've come to love it just the same. She certainly looks to me like the hottest babe in the game now, certainly hotter than Orchid. So well, she may be the only barefoot babe in the game for the foreseeable future, but heck- I think she's worth it. Check out the vids and enjoy Maya's bare, sexy (and strangely dainty) soles in action. I'll most probably post more vids of her on the channel soon.
Orchid would have stood a better chance if she took off her boots...
It's been a long wait (and it isn't over) but at least we've finally seen the end reward for us on the Xbox One brawler, Killer Instinct. Ever since the start of the game's Second Season, we've been waiting for the lovely Amazon Maya to show off her sexy, deadly feet in combat, but time and again we've been met by disappointment. First off was the blasted 'reimagining' thing that turned her from a beautiful barefoot warrior queen to some armored Brazilian fury. When her alternate accessories came out, NONE of them had any barefoot options. STRIKE TWO! Well, thankfully with the latest textual stream, the devs at Iron Galaxy revealed her upcoming Retro Costumes and Premium Accessory sets.
Well, to be honest I am weirded out by her hair, and by the somewhat goofy frills on the bottom of her top- but hey, at least she's barefoot. Those metallic things on her limbs could really just go, but hey, as long as they give us Maya's bare toes and soles, I'm happy.
Maya's Retro Costume should arrive within the month, with Update 2.3 of the game. I'll surely post vids of our returned Jungle Girl once she becomes available.
UPDATE: Killer Instinct Central just posted that this newcomer is an all-new character to the KI universse, and her name is apparently Sadira. No other info though. But I'm sure we'll have more updates on this femme fatale very soon.
So far the upcoming Killer Instinct hasn't panned out yet for us foot fans, but it has just taken a nice step into the right direction with the debut of a new female character. Well, I assume she's not really new but a returning fighter- which most seem to agree on that this is probably Kim Wu, albeit with a darker twist or redesign that all of the characters seem to have gotten going into the game. I agree it's most surely Kim, since she is wearing sandals/leggings that reveal her toes and heels, though sadly the clog-like claw thingies she has prevents her from being actually barefoot. I'm still hoping that Maya the barefoot Amazon Queen returns someday in this game, but for now- at least there's one fighter I can get interested in (kinda) this game. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a barefoot babe in the new KI eventually.
