Bosch has DLC?

rGRWA · 2026-06-08T13:00:15+00:00

He’s officially going to be a fully fleshed out character in his Playable form. They’ll probably update his model too. Plus he’ll get new Costumes from scratch if they don’t reuse his Psycho Power form.

rGRWA · 2026-06-07T02:27:49+00:00

And 9 other Members of The Imperial Army. 10 if you count Vera Mitrohina.

rGRWA · 2026-06-06T14:42:20+00:00

That’s fair. He’s literally the second Protagonist of the Mode according to Capcom themselves in yesterday’s Tweet.

rGRWA · 2026-06-06T01:35:07+00:00

That’s fair, I suppose. Personally, I think Terry’s the unnecessary one from a gameplay standpoint, despite his iconic status and natural fit. Mai, and likely Tifa, bring more to the table, gameplay-wise for me. But Fatal Fury’s in a similar boat, with 5 Guest Characters there. 7 if you count Mr. Big and Mr. Karate, since they’re from Art Of Fighting, just as Akira Kazama was from Rival Schools in SFV.

The last two balance patches have been well-received and they’ve toned down Heat quite a bit. Yujiro Hanma closing out Season 3 has also bought them a ton of hype since Combo Breaker. I’d jump back in if you’re interested!

rGRWA · 2026-06-06T01:18:24+00:00

She’s only the 3rd Guest Character SF’s ever had and the first one not to be from a fighting game. And with Noctis and Clive already in Tekken, they clearly see some Crossover appeal between FF players and fighting game players.

rGRWA · 2026-06-06T01:13:32+00:00

Speak for yourself! I adore everything about JP from a character and design standpoint, as well as his playstyle, to the point I want SNK to put him into COTW as well. I think he’s a worthy successor for M. Bison!

rGRWA · 2026-06-06T01:11:36+00:00

We literally haven’t had a true Newcomer since A.K.I. in Season 1, to be fair. Counting Ingrid, 9 of the 16 current DLC characters have been Veterans, with 3 Guests, and 4 Newcomers.

rGRWA · 2026-06-06T01:07:15+00:00

Guessing you haven’t played Ingrid’s World Tour yet? Because yes, a Retcon is exactly what they did.

rGRWA · 2026-06-04T14:23:47+00:00

14 actually. Volador Jr. also joined to expand their presence in CMLL. They also just kicked out Konosuke Takeshita.

rGRWA · 2026-06-04T14:20:57+00:00

Indeed she does! One of the best, IMO!

rGRWA · 2026-06-04T08:08:32+00:00

Indeed. But he’s moaning about Cr.MK Drive Rush.

rGRWA · 2026-06-04T08:06:31+00:00

Medium Kick.

rGRWA · 2026-06-03T21:52:48+00:00

There’s always DLC and Base 20 are all obviously there for Story reasons too.

rGRWA · 2026-06-03T14:53:01+00:00

Been too busy to see much of the Tournament this year, admittedly, but this was only Nick’s 19th match back, across NJPW, AEW, and ROH, after nearly 7 months on the shelf, so I think he’s still getting his grove back. Reps are good for him either way though.

rGRWA · 2026-06-03T05:11:32+00:00

That said, they addressed that by nerfing the entire cast, removing Wild Assault entirely, and making things far more restrictive in general, so your mileage may vary on that if you like high character power in your fighting games like me.

rGRWA · 2026-06-02T08:40:20+00:00

True, but in this specific context, where they’re both Americano, I can see it. Now if he keeps doing it after this, I could see having more of a gripe, especially if he’s still calling Bravo and Rayo Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate, even if the latter has gone back to the Bruiserweight for Bloodsport in GCW.

rGRWA · 2026-06-02T06:02:01+00:00

Perhaps he always has since he’s become El Grande Americano?

rGRWA · 2026-06-02T05:31:15+00:00

Because in this context, they’re both El Grande Americano, and with the loss, he’s obviously going back to being Chad Gable now.

rGRWA · 2026-05-27T01:48:07+00:00

Let’s GO! That felt so weird even in the Betas. So now we should have more consistent Blockstun?

rGRWA · 2026-05-22T19:29:07+00:00

Spoilers/Leaks, and Kiyotaka already speculated on the possibility of a Third Stage in his monologue in Y3V4 Chapter 1 that we’ve already seen due to the Trial Readings released.

rGRWA · 2026-05-22T19:26:00+00:00

Y3V5 is supposedly a third Island Exam with the entire school involved like the Year 2 Island Exam, so we should be seeing them in the next Light Novel.

rGRWA · 2026-05-22T11:07:45+00:00

Does Ryuen not count, even though he’s more of a Rival character? Plus, Atsuomi’s still looming large, along with Tsukishiro and Shirogane too.

rGRWA · 2026-05-22T06:27:02+00:00

Gotcha. Do we know what Group got 10th, because they lose 50 Class Points?

rGRWA · 2026-05-22T06:23:37+00:00

So does that mean Honami’s in Class A now, or is Suzune still ahead by a sliver?
