For skins that change colors (like Pride), i would appreciate if you stayed on them for slightly longer to showcase what colors they change between.

Oh that's a good point, I just kinda tried to fly through them since 32 skins Is a lot. For what it's worth the Pride skin just has a rainbow cycle and the Obama skin has the sword change between red white and blue

Wait, Kris 2? What's this about Kris 2? I think Kris is actually my favorite character - a no-excessive-nonsense swordsman with a nice kit that feels great. My only "complaint" is that I don't particularly like his spritework all that much. The proportions don't match the DR ones all that well and he looks a little misshapen. Now, this is a VERY small complaint. Kris is honestly the most fun I've had in this game.
