With the Season 2 roster complete, we can only speculate if and when there will be a third season, and from which eras or franchises SNK may give love to as future DLCs.

I'm hoping against hope KOF gets fighters from franchises outside of KOF. Here's hoping to some Metal Slug, World Heroes, and The Last Blade.

Carlos looks better than ever. Unfortunately he only has 2 main attacks, same as Retsu or Damn Trasher(aka NPC spammer).  Capcom dd a good job with these side characters. unfortunately, World Tour's system is more like "put these and these clothes and you will be tougher to beat" than else. If it's a FIGHTING game, it must be about your skills in FIGHTING. I had a hard time with the outlaws tournament. I was Lvl 50 and my rivals, 40. Could you believe than in less of 5 basic attacks they beat me out of Hell? :/. Then I had to put and put and put nonsenses on my character, turning him into a walking piñata :/

So true!

And I don't like when the game mechanics of a specific mode force you to change the appearance of your character with tons of ugly/unneccessary items for the sake of effects etc.

It kinds of reminds me how I hated when some Namco fighting games tried these stuffs.
Like why in the world Bryan Fury would put on some tourist shorts to get more resistence to electric attacks...

Even so, thus far the only real new returning face is Jun.

Speaking of, who exactly is left in the Tekken-verse that's been absent for so long?

I'm really surprised by this current stream of reveals. I wonder if that means the launch roster is gonna be really big? Outside of Leroy and Jun most of the characters are still the more or less standard fare Tekken characters though. I think we're missing mostly Yoshimitsu, Lili and Alisa I think now?

I don't think either Lili or Alisa are that important. Yoshimitsu, on the other hand, is a perfect attendance character, and outside of him the only other character I'd consider a "must have" is Hwoarang. Anna and Lei should be too, but they've been sidelined so much in previous titles.

Now all we need is Team Metal Slug

I don't think we'll get a Metal Slug character in XV, even though I would heavily vouch for one; that's why we got the dedicated Metal Slug stage as a compromise. It would take a huge fan movement similar to #FREEMVC2 for SNK to reconsider.
