Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 Update
GameSpot: X-Men fans will likely be very pleased at the addition of Psylocke to the roster. The psychic ninja's model looks great and is curvy in all the places fans will want it to be. Her default outfit is based on the iconic blue ninja outfit we all know and love, with some nice subtle touches and two-toed ninja shoes. Her alternate outfit is based on one of her more modern suits, which is a bummer since we were hoping for Lady Mandarin armor, but so it goes. Psylocke's powers are a nice mix of some of her classic powers and some ninja moves. Her katana lunge is a forward charge using her psychic knife. The butterfly kick is a short series of kicks. Psionic bolts are psi bolts that stun enemies. Finally, the triple strike is a series of three slashes. We've tried a few of her fusions with different characters and are pretty pleased by how she fits in to the mix of powers. What we've seen skews more toward clearing and guided fusions, which are handy.

I think it's definitely either House of M or New Exiles! YAY.
Simply stunning! I can't believe it. A dream come true. Not only is Betsy beautiful, she is well animated.
@Luckystar - FSaker and I were wondering if there was an alternate Betsy outfit. We should post it when images are available.

Someone really did their homework. Not only is this a fantastic update to the Hand outfit (notice the subtle changes), it has the X on the sash, making Betsy a legitimate X-girl! Tremendous.
Yes. The alternate outfits are revealed on MUA2 official site. I can't wait until they upload it. Also her in-game video is missing!
wow the texture of her outfit is crazy. i love the way her power looks. i much rather have her alternate costume be one of her British costumes or the armor. And if she had purple hair it'd be better too. But other than that it looks fun.
@Anonymous - Unfortunately, the alternate outfit is probably not going to be one of the British versions of Psylocke. I think Marvel is trying to go beyond British Betsy :(
I was hoping for either Mutant Massacre Pink uniform, New Exiles or House of M. My money is on HoM.
@Luckystar - I agree. I am betting that it is either the House of M or the New Exiles. I would be astonished if it were one of the earliest Psylocke costumes like her Australian outback version.
@Luckystar - Another distinct possibility is the Ultimate Psylocke costume.
Oh yes. I forgot about the Ultimate one. One of my favs too!
Also, I guess "X-Treme" is not an option since it looks almost exactly like her regular outif.
@Luckystar - It could be the X-Treme, too. So much mystery here :)

Another strong possibility is a costume that is fairly recent and recognizable. So, that may mean the New Exiles, Ultimate, House of M, or... Maybe Dodson's swimsuit variant...
Her alternate look will be her House of M look! And it's going to be gorgeous! Can't wait until we get some screen shots of it.
@CmX - Excellent. That's great!
I really dislike the dragon costume she had that was purple (I think HOM). It'd be ok if it was her Exiles uniforms I guess but pretty boring. The alternate costumes for almost all of the other characters were very different, like they used a new mesh for every character almost. Songbird's alternate costume is a drastically different model. I hope they do that for Betsy so you see the whole thing differently and it's not just a plain new costume. I dislike most of the alternate costumes in the game though so I wasn't expecting much.
aahhh love the tabi!!!
All I can say is... WOW! Psylocke looks amazing! Her outfit looks incredible (it could become an inspiration for Marvel to update her costume outfit), and her attacks are amazing!
Such a shame the game producers forgot she doesn't have the Crimson Dawn tattoo anymore, though. I like the tattoo, but...
Well, about the alternate outfit, it could be the House of M one, the New Exiles one, but it could also be her Ultimate X-Men one. It's also relatively modern, I think.
