Okay, I know I'm probably gonna get shot with machine gun rounds in the middle of the street for it, but... I don't want her to stay. I've already said why in the discussion, so I'll just summarize it here: she's not developed enough to be in the game.
Guys, seriously, be reasonable here. The reason all of the characters are so good is because Lab Zero spent lots and LOTS of time and money on each individual character. Fukua took, like, 3 days! I'm sorry, but compared to the rest of the cast, that just screams "not developed enough" to me. And frankly, almost everyone saying to keep her in... it really makes me feel uncomfortable with this community.
Unless, say, @POS Industries wants to help us out in the meantime? :^P
Oh my god I love Skullgirls.
Maybe this could work:
Awww, shucks! ♥
Because we all know Filia's intro normally has two translucent copies of her join together.
Like my homie says....please keep her!
And yeah making her an "EX" Character (pressing a certain combination of buttons to select her) would be epic too.
haha, i forgot about that like right after our set was over xPSeconding (thirding) an animation adjustment for the armor grab. @Icky told me he kept NOT reacting because he thought his game froze or something. I'm sure others have thought the same.

The most obvious least effort thing I can think of is making that move crackle with Hatred Guard lightning during the freeze. People already associate that effect with armored moves so it should be pretty intuitive, and there would be a thing on the screen moving so you would know the game itself wasn't frozen.Seconding (thirding) an animation adjustment for the armor grab. @Icky told me he kept NOT reacting because he thought his game froze or something.

Vertical Gregor that ground bounces. I can dig it.
I like this, except vertical fireball would look weird with the current animation.
Hello! All of her art was under the same artistic direction as Filia (except the Painwheel shock, I guess), even down to the same person timing and implementing all her animations as timed and implemented everyone else. Her look was OK'd by the same team of people that OK'd everything else, her palettes were made and approved by the same people... Over 95% of her animations are UNCHANGED from Filia, meaning the remaining 5% account for the entirety of your complaint.
You and Vulpes have to do better, say I. Let's have a picked-apart example that isn't her fireball, which I agree needs the most work. Cuz to me, it just sounds like you don't like her so you decided this was your sticking point.
I think it's just fine the way it is. If they add effects, it becomes too obvious and it's already pretty darn obvious. If you actually thought the game froze, there's no way you should get hit by it. You should be holding up since it froze during the startup of a command grab. If you thought the game froze, then you must've been holding down-back because you would see your character moving if you did anything else. So if you got caught with it thinking that the game froze, it's entirely your fault. I don't buy that excuse because you did the wrong thing anyway in the case that the game did actually freeze at that moment. People just aren't used to seeing it. No one thinks the game freezes when someone uses Clark's delayed, armored command grab.The most obvious least effort thing I can think of is making that move crackle with Hatred Guard lightning during the freeze.

GET HYPE
Then you can guide them to this thread and point out EVERYTHING MIKE HAS WRITTEN.Still nobody is thinking of the consequences: people will later join/buy Skullgirls, see Fukua and think she's a legit character, effectively turning the parody into what she is a parody of. "Wow, a clone? How lazy!" They will think. Nobody will assume she's secretly an April Fools parody because, you know, IT'SNOTAPRILFOOLSANYMORE
Disclaimer: I'm very thankful for the character (as a joke), i thought it was hilarious and i'm amazed at how much work they put into her (as a joke).
At the very least, give her something other than Filia's tag in because, man, screw Filia's tag in.@Mike_Z I remember you trying out the idea of people being able to run in as a tag but it being OP or....something. Maybe Fukua could have some form of run in attack? I think it would be pretty cool at least.

Because, as far as I've seen, you're the only one who's been bringing this up. If you're so concerned about people using Fukua as a reason to call L0 lazy, then maybe you should take it upon yourself to clear up any misconceptions. Also, gonna reiterate:
The symbol for Fukua is a right-side-up samson symbol. That's pretty easy to tell. But i still want her in. Obviously no one likes clone characters but i think this is a fine exception to be honest. We know it wasn't created like for 3 months....
