Honestly at this point, I'd rather have a new character like Ayame or Maria Douglas, with a creative moveset.
Am I crazy for asking this ? Am I the only one ?
Agree. It was a stupid mistake not to have them. Of course it would have required more time and we know that had time issues to finish everything (hence the cut content), but it's a bad marketing move from them. Now we'll have to wait one year to have Momiji, Rachel, Leon (and maybe Gen Fu) back, when we could have had fresh newcomers to give more visibility to this dying game.
Oh, and Mai and Kula are boring AF.
