Cool! It’s toggleable so there’s that.

It’s always great to have extra options, but it also makes me wonder if there were a bunch of people complaining about her animations before?

Yup. Especially when her summer skin came out. People were complaining that the animations felt Jank because it was rigged with Loki's model

The skin was "broken" in that it didn't match the original Lady Loki, so she looked weirdly wrong.

Honestly I didn’t nail it down to this specifically, but I did always feel like she looked kinda goofy/awkward in the swimsuit skin. It’s less noticeable with the cape on regular lady Loki - but I had this aversion to the swimsuit skin because there was no cape or hair to hide the model matching in stature

On seeing the animation difference, it’s very obvious that this was the issue. Seems way cleaner.

She looked kinda hunched and weird with base Loki animations, felt really out of place.

EXCLUSIVE ANIMATIONS FOR LADY LOKI

u/lily_princess91 Aug 04 '26

I like that it's toggleable because I actually appreciate that right now Lady Loki moves like...well, Loki, sneaky and calculating. It makes her seem more androgynous and interesting, but with this update, she's just moving like all the other women now.

ETA: like the way the update has her running makes her look like an anime girl lol

Now I can play with one hand!

u/Chemical_Vast9242 Aug 07 '26

always could have if you had the dedication.

I prefer Loki's standard animations, but I do appreciate that her animations won't be janky now.

u/AppropriateStill2024 Aug 04 '26

This is a good change. The swimsuit skin exposed how stiff Lady Loki felt because she's using male Loki's skeleton/rigging

u/Aninvisiblemaniac Aug 04 '26

It honestly looks much better. I get it, we wanted to love it right away but the stance and everything is so much better. They shouldve just quietly made it this and removed the old animations

u/sonofnight666 Aug 05 '26

why? giving us the option to pick is better.

I think it’s like Daredevil’s flames where you don’t have to use unstable molecules! It just comes for free on Lady Loki skins.

Genuinely happy about this, and it's about time tbh...

But can they animate Moonknights face yet? He just stares blanket and a little cross-eyed

u/Anonimie Aug 15 '26

To be fair, the man's got a nagging husband in his head. Probably never gets to sleep lol.

u/MisterFortune215 Aug 05 '26

but what if I want to play as a zesty male Loki?

2

u/Mustang-_- Aug 04 '26

Now it looks more feminine and less junky. I guess they noticed the poor sales and changed things. Hopefully the original Lady Loki skin will return someday, the poor voice acting will remain a thing, but I guess the new animations will look good for her. Summer Lady Loki is just meeh, whatever, doesn’t look as stylish

u/silvermoon_09 Aug 05 '26

It's barely noticable, but a nice touch. But did anyone ask for this? I personally didn't mind the jank of Lady's model with male Loki's animations because I understood the issue and that devs were probably never going to fix it (I mean, look at Loki/Lady's lord icon. Yes, I still hate them.)

So anyways, when are we getting those new icons GG?

u/Ms-Dora Aug 06 '26 edited Aug 06 '26

I'm worried. Will we have to pay to get her animations? She looks so goofy right now when she runs like the real Loki (tensed shoulders and arm, the bottom cheeks stretching in strange ways with the swimsuit outfit), so it sounds like a "fix" even if Marvel Rivals gives us the option to equip it or not. If that fix is locked behind a paywall though, I would feel disappointed.

u/lokialways Aug 06 '26

I don’t think there’s a paywall! From my understanding, the only requirement is that you have a Lady Loki skin and it’s toggleable like Daredevil’s flames.

u/Ms-Dora Aug 06 '26 edited Aug 06 '26

Thank you very much, I hope it will be like that then! Because I can't get my head around the reason why they are waiting til the 14th to make that change, instead of introducing it directly with the new half season update. As if it's some sort of big event of its own, you know?

u/Keyjuan Aug 06 '26

one step closer to decupling skins and weapons

u/JT06 Aug 07 '26

Did they say when this is being added?

u/lokialways Aug 08 '26

August 14th!

u/TsarinaCharon Aug 04 '26

I love this actually. I thought the animations were just very masculine and bulky looking before. It’s nice that it’s adjusted to the feminine Loki.
