I really hate that logic, especially when looking at these games from a competitive perspective. Also, you have one of my favorite characters in your AV as of right now.
Leon, was expected to not be playable if I’m honest. They haven’t done anything with him since DOA3 when he still has a lot of story potention. Shame on their end of course.
He doesn't need a story. He just needs to chuck bitches across the map.
Seriously, the "story-focused" characters are usually the most boring. Hayate, Phase 4... ugh.
