Some of these arguments are a bit flawed. Hodojo is a stage for Hodan, not Ranno. Also, there’s only 1 real zoner on the roster (Fleet) which actually puts the playstyle point in Absa’s favour. I still hope you’re right and we get Etalus next tho
I think it’s fair to assume that etalus and absa will be the next returning characters but I think it would make more sense if it was a brand new design first maybe like a new secondary antagonist since we’re lacking in newcomer representation which is what I personally want to see more
I remember Elalus himself saying in the PirateSoftware Q&A on what character he mained in rivals 1 and 2. He didn't really answer but, he definitely said "My main will be in soon" so...
I think your prediction is pretty spot-on, but it seems like people are already expecting Etalus, due to some apparent files with his name on them, in the game files
@@t00nbink also they said theyre having trouble implementing etalus, cuz they have to rework him a bunch cuz his current stuff is too overtuned for rivals 2, so we shouldnt expect him first.
I think it’s like a weird mix because in some stage overview thing from like a long time ago during the kickstarter, they said Ranno would be going to the Hodojo to learn under Hodan. But then also Swampy Estuary is shown on the roadmap, so idek
I don't think the devs meant each year it will be 50/25/25 split. I think they only meant that of all the characters they currently have planned, the split is as such
Yeah I agree, Etalus is most likely next. But I still really want Absa As soon as possible. She is my second main in Rivals of Aether one and I would love to see how she gets transferred into Rivals 2. But if I have to wait, I guess that’s fine because the game is so amazing and I can’t wait to see all the new things coming to the Aether universe! I love this game!
Even though I don't like the workshop 4 that much, I do think we'll see one of them in the first year. I personally think it will be either Absa or Etalus, and then Mollo or Olympia for the returning characters but I hope I'm wrong and we get Sylvanos this year.
You forgot one thing the confirms the Etalis is next to be added. He has coding for ice in the game already, and there are icicle models in the game files. If Etalis is not next ill shit a brick.
Judging by the character distribution, I could easily see 2025 being Etalus, Absa, Hamir, and a new Zoner. Etalus and Absa are basically guaranteed, Hamir is a dungeons character with the Earth Element, and Fleet is currently the only real Zoner in Rivals 2 atm, so a new one could be on the way
@@cyusontheinternet Yup, I understand. That being said, I’ve seen about 5 or 6 people asking for slade online and complete radio silence on hamir, so it remains to be seen.

Your predictions in this video are pretty damn good, you might be onto somethin' here 👀
It's actually Kragg 2 sorry
Hes the exact same but he gets 2 rocks and 2 pillars
3:18 ain’t no way you just pulled a sakurai purple chair 💀 god i love speculation
Absa and Etalus also have chibi profile icons while all the other non playable in 2 fighters dont
Etalus and absa are both of my favorite characters from 1, would be dope to see them both back sooner rather than later

This aged wonderfully!
they just teased absa on twitter
how
@@curse5697 they posted a teaser for the next monthly event and there were 3 characters present and absa
@@olaf8778 but I want etalus
That doesn't necessarily mean absa is next though. She already has a couple in game icons, same with Etalus.
@@t00nbink also they said theyre having trouble implementing etalus, cuz they have to rework him a bunch cuz his current stuff is too overtuned for rivals 2, so we shouldnt expect him first.
would love to see Absa return, but really hoping Sylvanos is coming ASAP
Hodojo isn’t Ranno. It’s Hodan’s stage Ranno doesn’t have a stage in Rivals 2. Still a great video Etalus is still probably next.

We have 2 heavies, but only 1 floaty zoner.
Switch that point over to Absa
I read on a stream that is confirmed that the first DLC char will be a completely new char. Idk if it's true but that's what the street was saying.
You forgot one thing the confirms the Etalis is next to be added. He has coding for ice in the game already, and there are icicle models in the game files. If Etalis is not next ill shit a brick.
You should brighten the gameplay video I'm paying more attention to that then the visuals in front
valid

I think slade is also likely for a dungeons rep if only because a lot of people really want him in
@ I considered Slade, but was hesitant to add 2 water characters. I’d say he’s about just as likely though
@@cyusontheinternet Yup, I understand. That being said, I’ve seen about 5 or 6 people asking for slade online and complete radio silence on hamir, so it remains to be seen.
I want etalus to be back in the game so bad
What i wonder is what time frame exactly it will come.
Yeah me too 🤔
ayo he kinda spittin' 🔥
I hope etalus comes back.
I just want Artemis
hodojo is hodans theme you doofus >:((
