I definitely agree with putting beloved characters like Andy, Joe and even Blue Mary in that first season to make their absence a little easier to contend (even though I think its okay to leave them out if characters who never made out of MoTW get base roster privilege). That Jae Hoon comment on his brother’s design sheet definitely lends credibility to his potential reveal. Overall a great video, definitely tuning in for that Fatal Fury project 🫡.
Freeman, Gato, Jae Hoon, and Kain are basically locks. The only question is whether Andy or Hokutomaru will serve as the “Andy” function. Freeman, Gato, and Kain are locked for story reasons. Kaphwan was basically washed up in MotW, so it’d be dumb to include him over Jae Hoon.
Remaining spots mostly will be MotW roster (after all this is a follow up to that game). FF vets gotta be S1 DLC. Also i like Dong's new outfit, fits his personality.
Personally I like the new design for Dong Hwan overall, I think it suits his laid back and showy personality, especially the flashy sports jacket with his name on it tied around his waist. Only real gripes I have with it are, as you mentioned, the general "not quite done" look his model has. I also think the new animation for Ashi Binta (his classic foot slapping special) is pretty weak looking in this new visual style. Maybe it's just me, but the kicks just look slower and less impactful this time around. I definitely agree that, at this point, the final five slots will be rounding out the original MotW roster (Gato, Kain, Jae, Hokutomaru, and Freeman). I feel that Gato and Kain need to make it in for story reasons, with Kain being our big bad (unless we get a new boss) and Gato being the driving force for Hotaru's story. Dong Hwan's reveal here has me certain that Jae Hoon will get in too, and then that just leaves Hokutomaru and Freeman for the last two slots, since like you said, they may as well put in the rest if they've already got almost all of them at that point. Considering the first season pass is technically free, I definitely agree with the theory of that having to do with wanting soften the blow of some legacy characters being omitted from the main roster, and I think Andy & Joe would fit that mold the best
I'm not a big fan of Freeman, but I think he deserves to be there. They kind of did him dirty in that last game. He had some of the most USELESS break attacks and feint cancels. The lack of a reliable anti-air also felt like a MASSIVE oversight. He deserves a second shot. We only have a few character slots left for the base roster. Freeman may be more likely than one would think. I think we'll get him, Jae Hoon, and Hokutomaru. If not Freeman, then Kain. I was HOPING for Andy and Joe to be there day one as they were part of the original three the franchise started with, and I felt like they should've been there for it's revival.

It would be fun for Kim Kaphwan and his full-grown sons to be playable on the same game...maybe someday.

Hoping for Jae Hoon & Freeman in the base roster. I think they are both likely, just a matter of who is shown first and when.

Freeman also ties to Kevin Ryan story, so I'm pretty sure he'll be back.

Great video! What do you think are the chances of Tsugumi Sendo showing up in this game?
@@lucebuce12 I have no doubt she’ll be the first DLC character 😔
Maybe Jae Hoon will be a DLC character.
