Look, I like this game and it's sad to see this on life support. I already said this feedback from the beginning of the game but it seems Marvel Rivals took that feedback because Rivals is a Gooner galore, jiggle physics simulator and they're the ones making bank. You guys need a Tracer like mascot in order to promote the game, more goon/sexy skins that is premium. Idc if it's gacha or something, just do it. Rivals is making a bikini themed skins and I'm telling you right now. They're gonna making bank. The fact that the new hero is hot asf and doesn't have a premium skin imo is a shot to the foot. Drop the cyberdrake skin, drop the hyperion skin, add the jiggle physics and focus on the waifus cuz there will be simps ready to swipe that credit card. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go to Fragpunk and drop $100 on their new premium waifu skin. I wish the devs all the best...

I am curious which of the two radically different likely ways the unironic advocates of the op post feel about the mankini Hudson advocacy.

Just clarifying for the audience

If you are being serious pete, I assume most people would be fine with a silly skin for a character. Those types of skins usually go over well with player bases. There will always be people who want everything to be super serious, but they are usually the minority and they usually pick games that don't look like Supervive.

#

As for the topic of the thread, I fear it's message was lost due to it's silly presentation. This game does lack a mascot or flagship character.
Making one is easier said than done. OP seems to feel that an attractive female would be the way to go which is usually a safe/easier way to go about it, but that isn't necessarily mandatory.

I don't think that's true.
looking at early promotional material for project loki, we get this quartet - KP, Shrike, and what would become Felix and Shiv. That sense of creativity is definitely part of the appeal of early Project Loki on a design or aesthetic level, but most of them are pretty specific archtypes - deadly assassin, crazed fox pyro, big mutant brute.
Our 'normal', and therefor approachable character is Shrike, and the rest kind of enforce her role as a 'protagonist' sort of character.
She's young, athletic, visually distinct but not enough to be alienating. Her background is coming from a destroyed village, and she serves in the most sympathetic faction (the guys defending a peaceful, presumably less-autocratic shard). Her personality as expressed in her barks is one that is open, earnest, occasionally a little snarky.

#

Then you take her visual update. Her face ends up more defined than earlier cartoon looks, but it also shifted to look oval, down to earth (seems less overtly 'made up' even as she maintains a youthful femme look), freckles that often signal both youthfulness and normalcy. Her hair gets longer and shifts from white with black accents to blonde with red accents, which are a more normal and therefor more approachable design. The update to mean signals shifting her taking cues from recent female protagonists like Aloy (she even has the braiding in her hair now) - a character meant to be approachable, sympathetic, and express her agency in her design, without sacrificing visual appeal.

If only people would think this deeply about the game like me instead of visuals FeelsRainMan

There's not much else to be said. We just have to agree to disagree. I don't feel shrike is flagship material and you do.

#

Dont think new players will care wether its her or someone else

#

the more attractive the better

#

sexy or not

#

XD

Whether she fits the role of the ingress or mascot character or not due to visual, gameplay, or other concerns, you can certainly debate. I was just explaining what I saw as TC's logic.

#

I've never thought of flagship characters as approachable. At least any I can think of.

blissful linden
#

I mean it's an element. Tracer is more accessible than say, bastion or reaper. Phoenix and Jett seem more "normal" than viper or brimstone. A friendly, cool, and at least kinda "normal" vibe is what makes the face you put on your box art typically.
