I like the idea they were going with here, and maybe if I understood whatever she was saying or the cultural aspect of her design (I think Chinese, but I don't want to assume) I'd appreciate this more, but this fell flat for me. The spin-kicks didn't sell their impact well enough; she looks like a top spinning without any stop frames -- I don't know the technical term -- to show the kick really hitting the opponent well enough to illicit such a stark reaction. The plain white background makes everything feel flat. I wish they'd just kept the stage itself in the background.

This brings me to the mask. Regarding the first sentence above, I know I'm missing something valuable there. As it stands to my ignorant American mind, it's a non-sequitur. If the mask means something, I think the fan reveal of it would make this cooler, but as of now, it's a resounding "meh."
