inb4 it's real anyway

can't wait for kula with flame powers

[Fuu]

Of course it's not EX Yuri

It's EX K', obviously

Also I thought it was funny how Fuu's prediction came true:

Unless I' am misunderstanding this makes Kyo98 less probable. I mean, they wouldn't uncover the "new" look like this, they'd wait to show the extra character wouldn't they?
...Then again the theorized extra Kyo might be in 2k2 clothes which would be a even simplier sprite edit from the latest look(basically the cross design on the back and little else). I think?

Man you don't even know. back in the first announcement of the console version i thought about a joke post with mr.karate and big bear dlc characters, but i refrained from that.

SpekSNK are reporting one more character to be revealed as an on disc character.

Their "insider sources" have been totally wrong quite a few times, I fail to see anything different with that comment.

Oh... Really? We'll see about that

i'm just too depressed by this. i expected ex kyo anyway, and who didn't, but mr karate just really hurt my feelings. and that silhouette looks like another dude, so it's just sausage fest.

i'm still getting the game, but...this really hurts. i really need something to cheer me up.

My thoughts exactly.

That silhouette is just a placeholder

It seems a staff at Atlus has to say something about the last character...

I wouldn't put too much stock in that remaining on-disc character left to reveal, either.

EX Kyo was pretty much a given; ever since EX Iori was announced.

Mr.Karate though...probably going to use Takuma 98's movelist + ala SvC Chaos. Maybe even give him some of his AoF1 boss normals.

So the "DLC's" they were talking about are just going to be EX Versions and not actual character? Shame. Talk about disappointing hype.

Hope they make a 98 King and a 98 Mai, loved those versions.

What's the point of them???

I believe the next character will be Shin Big Bear.

[ZeroSoulreaver]

No Shermie? I am a sad panda now . I guess the next one is ex pedo bear for team rapist to fight team l oli
oli.

[Sogetsu]

There says that both characters will be on the Console Version: Mister Karate AND Ex Kyo

If you need help translating from spanish tell me and I will try to help (I am from Argentina, so I speak spanish and my english is not that bad as you can see, also my girlfriend is even better than me speaking english, so she can help me to translate even better if needed)

you know that email conversation i had with RSG a while back about the 5 characters?

an atlus moderator managed to clear up the confusion. it turns out the RSG rep i spoke with didn't understand that by "iori 98" that i was actually referring to "iori with the power of flames"

¯\(º_o)/¯ couldn't he have put two and two together

here's to quoting the said moderator:

Here's what's official:
- As of now, there are 5 extra characters to be in the console version that weren't in the arcade version
- Two of those will be available with the game
- Those two have been announced to be Billy Kane and Saiki (human form)
- The other three will be DLC
- One of those has been announced as Iori with the Power of Flames. The other two have yet to be officially announced.
- Subsequent new characters may be announced as DLC at later points

so, obviously, we're not getting an extra console character at this time.

the last point sounds hopeful, but going from what gunsmith asked about earlier, i'm almost afraid it'd be kyo-1/kyo-2/kusanagi pack.

goddamn the sprite style choice they made.

[SonicTempest]

Somehow, that doesn't surprise me...back when you posted that email I was thinking that they might not have known what you meant by 'Iori 98.'
