Hair contest winners

Admittedly, I've avoided looking at entries, because I know no matter what, I'm probably going to be disappointed in whichever one(s) they decide to implement. It just seems to be the pattern now. The one I like probably won't get added, the added one will come 1-2 years late, get locked behind some piece of heavily time-gated content, have weird scaling with on femRoes and make my head look tiny, have underwhelming highlight patterns, get murdered by hats, have some undyeable accessory, etc., etc....

I remember years ago reading/hearing Yoshi P somewhere saying they eventually wanted to give every race access to every other race-exclusive hair style, and I'm still miffed, not only because it never happened, but because I know it isn't going to. Outside of doing the m-word, there will just be hairstyles I'll never get to use. I've seen some of the male Viera hair styles on non-Viera and they just look so good...

Who's Saber?

Gotta say I appreciate that more traditionally men's styles made it in this time.

Let's see how many of these end up being able to be used by rabbits now....

A fairly famous anime-ization of King Arthur from Fate/Stay night

It's similar but not a copy. Though Artoria's hairstyle does vary slightly depending on the specific manga/anima/game she appears in.

They also ignored the sentence that says "if it does not fit on the template...". Not saying that the wording was stellar (and was probably not great for ESL), but it was clear enough that some Western folks followed it.

Every single hairstyle added since the 6.0 patch has worked on Viera immediately. They said they fixed the problem that was preventing them from adding new styles to Viera when they made male Viera and there's no reason to think this was a lie. It's been 2 years since a new hairstyle didn't function on Viera from the get-go.

They REALLY love this K-pop idol style, don't they? They look distinct here because the artwork itself does... but it's almost the same cut, I fear they'll look very similar ingame.

But regardless of those, overall I think I liked this contest more than the previous one, because here we can see a much wider array of shapes, styles and hair textures! I hope some of the curled/wavy ones are the first in the line because we really lack that kind of thing.

Right! Viera and Hroth seems to be defaulted to any new style. Half of your battle is won! The other half: hats (or most of them).
