The absence of Spike Cassidy's hat in the Overwatch 2 Cowboy Bebop crossover trailer has led to immeasurable frustration among players. Not only does the community feel that the character has been misrepresented with the new design model, but they also think that the hero barely resembles the original one from the anime.

Some players expect Blizzard Entertainment to incorporate a customizable option for having the hat on/off. However, knowing how the developer keeps customization exclusive to Mythic rarity skins, that doesn't seem like a probable option.

Users u/IzunaX and u/Eloymm believe Cassidy is not the right choice of character to represent Spike in the Overwatch 2 Cowboy Bebop crossover event. His stocky build and chunkier face are significantly different from the anime's characters, who feature a more lean and skinny aesthetic.

In a recent interview with ComicBook, Overwatch 2 art director Dion Rogers had this to say about the skin:

"We went back and forth on how to handle Cassidy's hat. So you'll see this is what makes his skin even more unique than usual he's not often wearing his hat. A lot of his emotes or animations that come along with it, he'll still do a hat thing. But generally 80% of the time he doesn't wear his hat, which is pretty unique for Cassidy. So that was something that we went back and forth on how he would feel silhouette wise, there's a lot of gameplay choices when we remove something from a hero."

The majority of the community feels Blizzard Entertainment should simply revert Cassidy's hair to its original state in the Overwatch 2 Cowboy Bebop crossover event. They think dyeing it black will give the character a better look.

While some players believe this would lead to the developer straying from the original anime design, others think the skin is already quite botched and that a little deviation won't hurt.
