Your list is basically mine, but I kept it to eight in case of us not getting a bonus character.
All of the first four from the old KIs; yep, I want them. I don’t really care about the gender of the vampire, but I’d like an aquatic themed new character instead of a female witch. Rash is kind of a shoe-in, and my guest character dream is Ruby Rose from RWBY, but I will be okay with absolutely whoever, I think!
I don’t have a preferred order, but my assumption is we’ll end up getting Rash, Kim Wu, Tusk, and a new original character to start the season off with.
Kim Wu
Tusk
Gargos
Rash
Edgar/Freia (Phantom Dust)
New Character (Stand-like/Familliar character.)
New Character (Fish-man!! Fish-woman!!!)
New Character (Ninja-Character. Crazy ninjutsu, kind of like Shinobi PS2)
I’ve said it before, Gargos needs a complete makeover. I really like the tiger/demon hybrid thing I keep thinking of. Maybe when disguising himself as the tiger spirit he never completely recovered to his true form. Think of maybe a manticore-like monster?
It would be a huge disappointment if Eyedol was the ONLY one left out. Sure, he can be seen as kind of silly, but IG can change that.
Tusk and Kim Wu of course.
Other than that, I don’t really have too much I’m chomping at the bit about.
Kim wu
TigerKungfu (Kungfu character)
Eagle ( Has Cheif Thunders Phoenix eagles as his fireball, up low, medium like in KI 1)
Skeletorr ( Spinals stepbrother)
Mirage (New Character) that can transform into anyone
Seagutter (New Character) Water like creature Zoner Grappler that can dig into the ground and swallow u from underground when he reappears from where you are
Donkey Kong (New Guest character from Rare Donkey Kong country)
Gargos (Pre-boss) Can transform into shadow Omen
Eyedol Final boss (Go bananas with him, Make him unbeatable)
Rash doesnt exist in my list ( i assume he is our bonus S2 character for waiting for so long)
-Eyedol(PLEASE)
-Gargos
-Tusk
-Kim Wu
-Rash
-The Arbiter/A brute from Halo
-Vampire character(Sabrewulf’s sibling)
-A puppet character(Think in someone like Relius/Carl Clover from Blazblue series)
-Ultratech experiment character
-A “Lovecraft” monster, Cthulhu alike
Kim Wu (confirmed)
Tusk (confirmed)
Gargos (pretty much confirmed)
Eyedol (if they figure out how to make him “cool”)
Rash (confirmed)
Joanna Dark (makes the most sense out of all possible guests plus a lot of people want her)
Vampire Dude (seems to be one of the most requested ideas for a character)
Sibling of a previous character (my guess is TJ’s sister)
Old Man (like W. Jinrei from Tekken, his first name got censored lol)
Tough to say given that we don’t know how many characters will be in the game. Let’s say that the guest characters aren’t included in the original 8. If that’s the case, than I’d say:
-Tusk
-Kim Wu
-Gargos
-Eyedol
-New Character - Eagle
-New Character - (Old Master / Warrior Sage - Perhaps KI Gold’s Training mode guy?)
-New Character - (Vampire)
-New Character - (Half Man-Half Demon)
-Bonus Character - (Rash - Battletoads)
-Bonus Character - (Joanna Dark - Perfect Dark)
-Bonus Character - (Jack of Blades - Fable)
-Bonus Character - (Kaim Argonar - Lost Odyssey)
To me, that’s a perfect balance. Four returning, familiar KI characters, four new characters and four bonus characters. Granted, I don’t think that the last two bonus characters are likely at all. My guess is we’re more likely to see someone from Halo and someone from Gears, especially since both series will have a game coming out this year and next year as well.
I’ve always thought training guy could be an alt Hisako skin who trains you in a Dojo mode and punishes you with vengeance counters. The moveset seems to mostly fit.
