They could give her a Hatred Install glow. She was made by Brain Drain after all.
Fukua can't airdash, so there's that. And you won't have to worry about DPs at all with her. Finally, you can actually zone with Fukua's fireball.
Fukua appears to be a partial grappler. Make of that what you will.Holding my vote until I have some time to actually sit down and work with her but from the streams I was watching she looks like a viable character that just needs a thorough spitshine. I like the look of some of her new moves and her flash-step super seems really cool to use. I can't think of any reason not to keep her in aside from the fact that I don't play Filia and if Fukua's not going to be too divergent I won't have much incentive to play her either.
Time will tell. Either way it was a funny idea by L0.
Pretty much. She has a regular QCF cmd grab, armored QCB grab, and a Grab Lv5 that apparently inverts damage scaling. You can play her like Filia, if you want. Just adjust to the fact that you don't have an air dash, and you can zone properly now.
Well, problem with their time being spent or not, Mike already did it, so that isn't even an issue anymore. that's in the past. she's HERE.The ONLY problem i have with this is that i want lab zero spending their time and our money making Eliza and Beowulf... Not making fukua and releasing trailers for her.
But its neither here nor there as long as Eliza through fortune come through. I'm just thinking about resources dedicated to balancing and designing fukuas move list being better spent on getting Eliza to us ASAP... Afterall she is the first vote poll character that WE picked, and she represents the first post vanilla character that i actually want to play (not that I'm being selfish or anything). :)

And the aura could be palettized. FUCK YEAH.
or an after-image.
I like the mini-hairballs. And I think the placeholder-y feeling adds to the lulzy charm. If we gave her anything legitimately new (from scratch), it'd take away from her "take jabs at Capcom" vibe.
I'm interesting to see how she works out in a tournament setting. As I said earlier, I'd love to see some Fukua on Rebel Up this weekend.
Can they be reshaped a bit? They look a bit squished at the moment.
This actually brings up a great compromise:
I'd rather she'd be a balanced character that everyone could play without some kind of secret, unless she was unlockable after beating everyone's story lines.
Why should Fukua be banned from tourney and/or reverted to secret character status? Outside of the homage appeal, it's an unnecessary hassle to input some secret code input every time you want to pick her.
The type mode is one thing because it's a side attraction that you don't really need to play to experience the main fighting game. An actual playable character is a different thing that shouldn't be shrouded in mystery for the sake of nostalgia.
Two reasons though for a legitimate tourney ban
1. The obvious reason being that she is plain broken gameplay balance wise. By "broken" I mean Turbo Akuma or Meta Knight status. That remains to be seen for day 1 stuff. Honestly feels regular Filia is still more reliable anyway. She still needs more polish though from aesthetics to gameplay attributes.
2. Temporary ban (kind of like with Big Band currently) because she came out too suddenly /not available on consoles/a tourney is close by. This is more an understandable reason because 1. She is not available to console players yet and 2. Not enough prep time has passed for optimized play when you are playing and/or fighting her. However, after the above two conditions have been passed she should remain tourney legal like the other characters.
Except that L0 has pretty much OK'd this endeavor, and Mike has no plans of removing her. Just because Mike worked on Fukua doesn't mean time was taken away from the important stuff. This just seems like something Mike put together for shits and giggles, and it's been received well, for the most part. I'd love to see her stay because L0 has outdone every single April Fool's trailer by the rest of the FG market by actually making her PLAYABLE. Fukua is akin to TotSG in a sense that Mike did this in his own time for the lulz, while not taking away from priorities.Chicken Boo's and Muro's post explain my feelings towards this matter pretty well, I like Fukua in the context of the joke, but i dont want some half assed rushed aprils fools clone to be a main stay in this game, it would be disrespectfull towards Lab 0 that are spending so much time and resources (they are working for mininal pay ffs) producing these high quality characters for us, just so we shit on them by aproving this kind of crap in our roster, making all of Lab 0s work seem worthless when all we seem to care about is playing Mugen on the Z engine.
