Guild Wars 2

I noticed something about the new male Asura mohawk hairstyle the other day during the preview mode of a character change kit that wasn’t noticeable from the screenshot: The spikes in this hair style appear to be held up by the things at the tips rather than being supported from the hair sticking out. In other words, there pieces at the tip of the spikes seem to be some sort of hovering devices that hold the hair up.

You can tell this because when the head moves from normal movement, the base of the hair moves, but the tips stay put.

I wasn’t brave enough to actually use my kit to purchase this hairstyle, but I do think that this was a pretty clever innovation for a hairstyle since it adds a new dynamic to the physics of the hair style.

I’m curious though. Has anyone used this hairstyle and if so, do you have any footage of your character running around with it? I’m wondering how the hair moves when your character is running and jumping around.

Alost Kenpachi lol

I would never use that hairstyle. It’s so absolutely ridiculous looking. Almost as bad as Braham’s hair :p

But I do agree with your assessment that the cubes on the tips of the hair are meant to seem like they’re “holding it up”. That’s the first thing that came into my mind when I saw it, considering those cubes are very similar in design to the hovering cubes you can see all over Asuran architecture.

Yeah I found that particular asura hairstyle quite scarlet-esque/spinal-blade-backpiece theme, and while I don’t play asuras much, it definitely is a unique and cool hairstyle.

It’s Asuran….’nuff said given the technological wunderkinds they are.
