I would prefer Raidou over Genra but having either (or both) would be awesome. Genra would need buffs out the ass to be more viable as a fighter of course.
I think it was translated from a Japanese interview. Which is why people are saying it's confirmed. Not sure why people would lie about it though. Anyway yeah, male is a resurrected character which pretty much only leaves Raidou & Genra. Female is a new character. So 1 of the two will most likely be in the game. I'm assuming Raidou though...
He said something along the lines of a resurrected character the fans will be happy with. Raidou at the moment is the most requested male so... but no I don't think it's a VF. Not sure why DOA fans would be happy about a resurrected VF character =S
I'm not sure. He's dead though lol =P so he obviously wasn't ridiculously strong. Kasumi beat him, with the help of Ryu. Strength of character doesn't matter too much though, Ryu is apparently the strongest character in the game yet he's located somewhere in mid tier xD I wouldn't worry too much~
But the reason I'm worried is the fact Raido copies techniques of other DOA Fighters. Now that there's +10 new DOA Fighters since his release, there's no telling what move TN will give him along with his original moveset!
