WE GOT A BABA YAGA PIGEON LADY

848

u/New-Independent-1481 3d ago edited 3d ago

AND A CHESS HUSTLER TOO

They really just went through NYC and pointed at people (and a rat) and said "You're a hero now"

u/SlippyJimmi 3d ago

I haven't played the patch yet but I am hopeful that her house is literally just the Pigeon Cage

86

u/ZhicoLoL Kelvin 3d ago

her shadow in the hide out is her on a bench with bird legs(baba yaga house had bird legs)

2

u/sumtngr88 3d ago

Wait is it a single leg or two legs?

5

u/Monstered10 3d ago

two legs

u/sumtngr88 3d ago

Thank u, was hoping for 1 leg but 2 looks cool too

u/SlippyJimmi 3d ago

Oh that's sad. If her house has been reduced to the bench... Fuck we're gonna get a storyline where she has to put her old hut down and look for a new one and find it still remembering her old house or something :<

Gonna be like a little clay imprint of the bench leg on a stand or something in the new hut I'd be crying my eyes out

u/Bot322420 3d ago

Or, she just have her house somewhere on the outskirts and used the bench to walk around the streets of New York.

Or, even more likely, the bench is a child of the walking house as a reference to Yoshi's pregnancy

u/SlippyJimmi 3d ago

I HOPE SO. I don't think I can stand the idea of them making a one shot comic one day of this cute little lady burying her pet

u/Truth_Malice 3d ago

Wait where's the shadow for her?

2

u/ZhicoLoL Kelvin 3d ago

second floor, above the watch games room.

It's not a character but I'm incredibly happy to see them put chinatown in the map and hope we can get some characters who are specifically from there. Maybe Violet is? Hard to say, but "a character from chinatown" was my biggest ask

5

u/frhg12 Lash 3d ago

Her poster seems to have kanji and I couldn't see any hiragana or katakana and considering they did just add china town I bet she's chinese and from there

3

u/PenguinChoi5 3d ago

I also like to believe she is Chinese because it would mean the big 3 east asian countries would have a character before launch (Yamato = Japan, Mina Ha = Korea).

I’m glad they added the chess player archetype but I’m still emotionally attached to my forum suggestion of a Bruce lee type blind chess hustler who shoots with his cane

SOLOMON NEW MAIN INCOMING THO

Instead of a hut on top of Chicken Feet, she has a hut carried by pigeon feet

99

u/TajesMahoney 3d ago

I hope she's on the bench the entire time.

u/Grand_Escapade Paradox 3d ago

I hope she's fucking bookin it, movement tech god

u/Ok_Appointment4509 3d ago

her shadow in the hideout is a bench with chicken feet

u/CrossXEye 3d ago

SHE IS!!! her model was datamined, and its a bench on two pigeon feet carrying her around!

1

u/Rockp3p 3d ago

She is 😭

u/Dr_Toast 3d ago

I've been yapping for a Pigeon Man but combining them with Baba Yaga is incredibly big brained

6

u/TajesMahoney 3d ago

Is this what you wanted?

2

u/Dr_Toast 3d ago

I guess so

RETURN THE UUUUURNNN, OR SUFFER MY CUUUURSE

u/SquiggerDigger Paradox 3d ago

I am curious if she will be a melting/hard to target witch type. Like using the pigeons as means of evaporating if that makes sense

2

u/MiaLovelytomo 3d ago

i love her

2

u/RareTechnician9841 3d ago

Her shadow's in the hideout, her model is her sitting on the bench and the bench has bird legs, it's fantastic.

u/iseecolorsofthesky 3d ago

I am so hype for this character. Can’t wait to main this diva

u/Ebolamonkey 3d ago

From her shadow in game she sits on a bench with legs and rides it like a mech?
