She's certainly building a Raidou 2.0, but the robot/machine will have most of the original character's skills, with some interesting modifications/updates to boot, maybe battle data about every fighter too, so, gameplay-wise (if he ends up making it as dlc) he'll more or less be the way he was in DOA5.
In fact, I mentioned a while back that I would imagine TN making a character similar to Mokujin or Edgemaster from SC. Each round is a different moveset so it would be hilarious to see.
But before you get into that, please make Raidou's movement better. There wouldn't be a concern playing him if his movement is not similar to Rachel on her heavyweight class. If his movement isn't better then I change my mind.
