There are a bunch of them I’d like to see, many of which have already been mentioned in some great posts in this thread.
-Half Human / Half Demon type: Not exactly a literal translation of this type, but characters like Spawn or Constantine that move between two worlds but belong to neither.
-Old Sage type: Characters like Shun Di, Master Sage, Gouken, etc. I’d really like to see IG’s interpretation of this type.
-The Suit type: I’d say Agent Smith from The Matrix or Wesker from Resident Evil. Madness hidden by a reserved look, or power contained, etc. I’d still like to see an Ultratech executive along these lines.
-The Wraith type: Raziel from Soul Reaver is the obvious example. A sort of shadowy character that survives off of devouring souls. A sort of parasite type of character.
-The Vampire type: If Raziel’s in here, than why not Kain? The other type of parasite. If the other is more of a desperate bottom feeder, than this could be the polar opposite rival. The refined, yet insidious, monstrous blood drinker. This could also be a transforming character type as well.
-The MMA type: Some might say TJ Combo fills this void, but I’m thinking more along the lines of a character like Goh from Virtua Fighter 5 that combines strikes with grapples, uses joint locks, take downs etc to augment swift one-two punch combos, knees strikes and kicks. I could seem the being a great rival for TJ.
-The zombie type: Walking Dead, 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil… Too many influences to mention. But this could be an intriguing type. Whether a big monster type like the Nemesis in RE or just a fast moving, ravenous, violent screamer, I could see IG doing a bunch with a zombie that could make them fun and unique from “infecting” opponents to spewing bile on them, exploding on them, etc.
-The ninja type: If Jago’s a warrior monk, then I could see KI still needing a true, shadowy ninja type, whether a konoichi like Ayane or Kasumi from DOA or a ninja like Ryu Hyabusa or Tenchu or any other number of examples. I’d like to see some teleports, grappling hooks, kunai, throwing stars, spinner knives, exploding powder, misdirection, etc.
-The tag team type: Not necessarily Ferra/Torr, but two similarly sized characters that fight together as one, either swinging each other, using the other for leverage, flipping off of each other, etc. I think KI could do something fun with this type provided they had the right characters for it.
