Who is that?

I'm guessing another new original character? I can't remember any similar characters in the previous games though it would be cool if she (I'm guessing that's female) turns out to be A.B.A.

Isn't this a bit soon? (Then again, maybe I'm comparing it to the western release of Xrd.)

It'll probably be arcade first and most likely get this either at the end of the year or beginning of next year. It's always like this for ASW.

As for the new character, I see a chain ball so a prisoner character? If the character uses that as a weapon, I'm kind of interested. I just hope it's not another Valentine clone.

New GG? Nice. Also, stylish mode now.

Arc does what Arc wants. (lol Yeah, like what does an arcade release in Japan have to do with the West at all?)

Johnny, a "new" character? Seriously? The wording is too darn wrong.

Also, it IS a new Valentine clone... Ishiwatari and Arc ran out of ideas...

Just bring Testament back, please Anime cry

How have they "ran out of ideas" when every Valentine is massively different from one another

Once again showing why you wait for the "Shift Extend/GotY" version of these fighters so that you get the best value out of your money.

I'm glad I held off on Xrd for now.

For casual players, yes, holding out is the best option. But if you are into fighters and cannot wait to learn/practice, then I see nothing wrong with it.

Also, who knows how long you hold out for. These days, they'll keep adding new characters/rebalancing so the FINAL version may come out in X years, and by that time, very few will be playing it.

Here's hoping Dizzy comes back. Kinda sucked when my main character was removed.

I thought the same thing as far as them putting out a new version of this not long after the first version. But since they first released it to Japanese arcades in February of 2014, they must have been working on it for a bit. Just remember that Capcom has and will do the same thing with Street Fighter II-IV and with V when it comes out.
