it's good

In retrospect... Yeah you're prob right. But I do feel they prefer more cartoonish anthropomorphic

?

The “Cowards” in the Furry Community…

Kat's backstory is that she and Falco used to be in a gang together, before Falco joined Star Fox. Kat was always meant to be a rough and tumble character, but didn't look the part at all in the OG game. If anything, Faye (the poodle) in Star Fox 2 fits the proper rich lady description much better.

Kat can't get a break, man. After they finally settled on a design for her in 3D and zero, they redid her entire look again.

She’s literally Notorious BIG if he was a 4-foot gremlin, what’s not to love?

YES I fucking LOVE Pearl. Let more women be GREMLINS, damnit!

Omg so true

yess this sold me

Yeah it is less persona that's for sure pink could have still been there though that's not as heavily saturated and was face it furries this is the animal person legit the freaking swirly hair got to go but could have had a pattern in this place though.

I'm not alone!

I heard complaining first and then looked them up and all of them except slippy look great to me, and even slippy's okay. I just liked it better when he was a bubbly trucker instead of someone's younger brother that tagged along

and like, to clarify, I'm not against character redesigns on principle, my issue here is just a lack of real purpose or meaning behind THIS redesign in particular - same with the rest of the designs.

Who is this

She now actually looks like someone with a shady past.

But if it isnt pink how am I supossed to tell its female ??? Smh

I do admit, I like that she's fucked up.

The remake's cat looks like a drug addict.

Out of all the redesign she felt the best

God I love her so much

the old cat does not fit the new art stylr

see you get it

I like literally everyone else ACCEPT FOR KATT!

Honestly it makes me hope they might put some depth in there because she legitimately looks less like the "girl" and more like a legitimate veteran who has had a lot of stuff happen to her and is still trying to hold it together.

She looks like she sounds like Vyper from Deadlock which is good and also tracks way more with her being Falco's weird friend

she drinks after every mission to take the edge off. it adds to that gritty look i feel about the game. i actually like it too.

I like that she still has SOME of her pink design, but yeah, new Katt looks like she would kick your ass.

The dark circkes under her eyes ruin her new look a bit

She looks like someone who A) Has grown up on the streets B) Been fighting an invasion which needs exhausting focus in a probably hot and sweaty ship.. FOR HOURS most likely.

I was wondering where this image came from. The Direct only showed her in a tiny communications window (around 10:50 in the Direct). That said, the teeth look kind of weird/irregular even in that footage.

This is what she looks like in the video without any upscaling

TBH, I really hope we get a render of her. I wanna see the full design.

Something about her newer design reads like she'd be voiced by Jane Lynch almost

I don't think pink's worked for Katt outside of the original 64 game.

I think Katt looking a little mangy is good and fitting even if I have some problems with the overall style

Yeah, this is actually the best one.

She heavily reminds me of Princess Carolyn from Bojack Horseman

I think this actually accentuates my gripe with it. The designs scream "grungy scrappy mercenaries" but the world outside looks way too clean because its adhering closer to the original game.

I'm more excited for new switch avatar options when it comes out so I can be Katt

I think she looks a lot cooler in the new style. Scrappy. Alley-cat-ish. A lot more memorable.

Apparently by this image the two genders are Male and Ric Flair

I wanna be female charizard tho

Nah, female Charizard should be much larger and wider. Female lizards are always bigger to hold eggs. More flesh equals more protection for baby eggs

Hello kitty Vs puss in boots.

From recoloured Fox model that has to be absolutely sure you know it's Girl to an actual character. What an upgrade.

I don't hate it but it feels like too much of a departure from familiarity.

I'm gonna like 'er~

Literally saw a good short on why the design fits what we know of her character better and is just good.

Same

Yes!

I like the new designs except for this one They could have at least kept her furr pink

i would say "but they are space animals, how is that naturalistic" but they changed Falco into a full on bird now so you have a point on fitting in with the rest of the changes.

Jon we really are brothers in arms

She looks like the doc from lower decks and I approve lol

It's such a different take on a character who really had nothing before

OH SHE LOOKS AWESOME!!!!

I like her, she looks like she smokes two packs of cigarettes a day while hooked up to oxygen.

Best she's ever looked fr. Now I will buy your game.

You and Bosman. youtu.be/2pq3q0OoeKA?...

the character design is whatever, i find what was shown of the character animation to be off-putting, like its too sluggish, and the voice acting sounds like a bad anime dub

Putting the pink paint *under* her eyes changes the entire vibe, that's immensely sharp. It gives war-weary scrapper instead of just "generic Female™ furry".

If you combine both designs you get Princess Carolyn from BoJack Horseman

She looks like she eats Newports. I love it.

Left: "we need a girl star fox" Right: I would absolutely go out with her for cigarettes and booze. She definitely knows where to get the best weed. There's about a 45% chance we get mugged along the way, and a 65% chance she's the one doing the mugging.

Which as we know, plagued the early years of gaming. If you didn't make your anthro chick look like this, you're getting ganged up on, basically.

She's kind of a baddie

anybody who says the new design is "soulless" or "inexpressive" is out of their mind

I didn't like that she's not pink anymore, I liked pink

I've never played a Star Fox game, but new Katt looks like she's about to take a huff of Arwing fuel and tell me "Revolution is not for the sane." and I am into it like you wouldn't believe.

I've 0 context cause I haven't played a single starfox but this is a glow up in my book

Haha, gives me "recruit who just graduate from the academy" to "3 year veteran" vibes. :D

I think she does! It’s just harder to parse through the tv-filter fuzz.

I mean she's got good taste in turtlenecks

Carolyn should drink less coffee She is clearly not sleeping enough

I wanna hear what they do with her VA so bad

Gamers having a stroke when a female character isn’t hyper feminine and pink and is allowed to look a little gritty

YOU STOLE MY POST! xD joking i made a similar post defending our beloved Katt. Shes more soldier looking. less barbie doll. i love how scrappy and grungy she looks. Also. she looks llike a gremlin out of combat i bet lol

honestly, yeah. it really isnt the style i dislike, cuz she absolutely looks good here

I like that she looks like an actual character and not a marketable plushie. This has so much more direction to it I don't get why anyone would hate it

Reminds me of T'Ana from Star Trek Below Decks

tbh im leaning negative on the style as a whole (more a reflection of my distaste for attempted realism in games than specifically star fox's fault) but it'd be much worse if all the dudes were semirealistic and then the women were standard-issue furries im glad at least shes equally weird

I’m tired of the token pink coloured love themed female; more gremlin women please!!! I’m aware that my profile pic is the helmet of a love themed female.

she looks like a hot mess…she so me fr I love her

#NOMAKEUP

Not only that but one with a criminal gang history

Agreed. This isn't some feline supermodel, she's a scraggly fighter who looks like she practically lives in her cockpit (which, given she doesn't seem to have a base-ship like the Starfox crew, is probably the case).

I meant it more in the sense that she looks nothing like her original design whatsoever and looks like a completely new one

Boo! Boo! Take My like! Boooooooo! ;)

Don’t do meth kids

She's less barbie glam and more punk rock this way. I'm a fan. Feels like a very intentional avoidance of making her "the girl character" whose attribute is "girl".

The left one is atrocious

Uh… meow?

She looks pretty amazing. Reminds me of Miyu a bit, for some reason.

Male anthropomorphic characters always just look like the animal, where as female anthropomorphic characters always get overly feminized compared to their male counterparts. Really dig the new design, glad they stayed clear of that.

yknow what? I fuck with this

I notice they basically swapped the colors for her fur and her tuft of hair up top.

ultra glow up

I'm not a fan of the general art direction, but I actually don't mind Kat's new look at all. Now she looks WAY more like a scrappy gang member Falco used to fw, not just a stereotypical girl whose personality is "girl".

The original doesn't have markings, unless you're talking about makeup. The new one has pink undereye markings or makeup or whatever.
