>>16300408I personally don't believe it needs to be as close as only an inch or two. If you extend all the way to 5'7, which I think is still a reasonable height that kairi could feasibly be able to use most of her moves on, maybe if she packs on a little more muscle, then the only (main roster) girls that would be above that, and as such she might run into issues with would be charles, maxxine, raquel, nia, jade, alba, b-fab, elektra and piper - these are the only ones that are 5'8 and above, plus some of their heights might be worked (rhea is shoot 5'5 for example) and they'd be back under that barrier. And even then I bet it's just the super heavyweights that would be a real problem. We've seen kairi and big ass jade do surprisingly good work together. So I agree it's not just height but probably more kairi having an overly stiff moveset for a face that she never changed to fit her new environment as much as she should have and that's why she never got the same rub following the mae young classic win.
Also Roxanne will definitely revert to being a face when she goes up. there is no fucking chance they keep up the heel shit when she goes, she is absolutely awful as one. Well actually I guess it depends on if they make her drag natural heel cora with her.
