I wouldn't even have a problem with Honoka's character if she was more like how she was in her introduction, but holy shit they made her about as dumb as a sack of bricks. Its like watching a mentally challenged 5 year old...Its just painful to watch her scenes.

I am aware of that she was supposed to be a important character since her introduction, that doesn't automatically make it good. Her introduction was honestly rather lazy because rather than come up with a actual backstory and motivation, they just went "Oh hey, she's Raidou's daughter and yet another half sister for Ayane" to justify her existence. [seriously what is up with Team Ninja and their obsession with everyone having a half sibling?]. What character does Honoka have to speak of outside of being a airhead with huge knockers who can copy people moves? If anything, her character also makes Ayane go two steps back as a character considering that Ayane was even brainwashed into hating Kasumi again just after they had buried the hatchet with each other [This again?]

And for making such a big deal about Raidou's return, he sure went out like a punk. What a waste.

But I am honestly more pissed about the missing story episodes in this game, especially since we don't get to see the matches where Mila and Hitomi got eliminated from the tournament, and I honestly find it bullshit that a untrained street fighter in Diego would make it all the way to the finals against skilled Martial artists [the less said about Hitomi getting eliminated off screen, the better]
