like crazy remains a mystery..." According to Rare Gamer, "found plastered on the sides of KI2 cabinets everywhere, B. Orchid has become nearly synonymous with any mention of Killer Instinct, and her return would send the community into celebration". In 2014, she was ranked as the 95th best looking "game girl" by Brazilian GameHall's Portal PlayGame. Orchid's "flashing" finishing move was a source of much media attention, including being ranked the fifth most creative video game death by Wired in 2009. In 2011, it was ranked third on a list of the "craziest fatalities" in gaming by Complex, while UGO.com listed the finisher "where she whips out her sweater puppies and causes her opponent to have a boner-related heart attack" as the 47th nastiest cinematic kill in video games. In 2012, Houston Press ranked it the fifth stupidest 'fatality' in any game, as "this causes the male characters to have heart attacks and die" even if they are not human. In ScrewAttack's Death Battle, Orchid won against Soulcalibur'''s Ivy Valentine by using her other classic finishing move, which turns the defeated opponent into a toad. On the other hand, GamePro included her in a 2011 list titled "Six of the Most Broken Characters in Videogame History", saying she is "a forgettable character", and is broken due to her unstoppable combo sequence. Rob Bricken of Topless Robot criticized her original appearance as a stock character of "a comically over-sexualized woman": "It's hard to pin down the fighting-game world's most blatantly objectified female character, but B. Orchid may well be it. Unless, of course, it was all a joke". In a contemporary review of Killer Instinct Gold, Next Generation'' likewise derided her comic over-sexualization, at one point employing the phrase "as sure as Orchid's breasts are fake".
