I think Namco are getting lazy now... they already stopped the character profile trailers a long time ago, and now they've stopped the character official reveal trailers in place of psychological reveals as part of story art, character creation and make-believe leaks. And the latter-revealed characters are probably less improved over the early reveals since the relegation to DLC. I wouldn't be surprised if Astaroth has only 1 new move or something or is 99% an incarnation of his former self.

1. Okubo stated there would be more than 20 forever ago.
2. This was an unfinished build, a fact.
3. Those are dots we've seen before in the last one only it was two that time.
4. We've had teases for characters that aren't on the select screen (ie. Lizardman, Hwang, Inferno).
5. It would be really dumb to make slots for DLC characters that won't appear for potentially months, and make the screen completely lopsided.
6. Most likely, the spots are there to include Tira (Day 1 DLC), Lizardman, Hwang and Inferno (in the center) and possibly one more. That would round it out very well, shown below.
Nice you paying homage to Hwang - but I really don't think we'll be that lucky.1. Okubo stated there would be more than 20 forever ago.

DAY ONE PATCH could fix that easily...
But it could not fix other things like roster size...

Hwang was teased in Seong Mi-na's profile, leaked, and his style was shown in a CAS preview artwork alongside ones we know are in the game.

Aight surprise reaction period over, let's carry on as before. By which I mean, there're two threads for this.
Even the leaker seemed unsure about Hwang. What's that about a CAS preview artwork with his style? I don't recall any observations about that. Have you got a link please?

this is the only thing that confirms it's not final
it just makes me wonder if the two spots on the roster are supposed to be in the base game then why aren't they at least in a playable state at the time of the build? i could be just that they are hidden due to any number of factors but it just seems odd they have raph and cervy there who also aren't finished, i guess we could assume that hwang and lizardman had less priority? idk.

it's weird how they had a contingency plan for people not using the creation mode before they "realised" they had sent the wrong build

OK thanks for posting! Can anyone else confirm this is definitely Hwang's fighting style? Who else has a sword like that besides Yun? @Frayhua?
See the guy on the far left?

generic warrior is Hwang's M.O so it could be him

It is definitely possible (and maybe even likely) that those 4 small circles are for DLC. I'm also disappointed we may not see Cassandra and Hwang (two unique styles that were left out of SC5, some of the only unique styles that were not in the game at all; we had Sophitia in Pyrrha, Taki in Natsu, Xianghua in Leixia, etc.) in the base roster. However, let's try to shine an optimistic light on our current situation:
Look at this character select screen, and tell me, right to my face (to your computer screen, look at my icon) that any character here is a dud or a bad choice. If this was the most they could afford for the base roster, then from my perspective they have done as best as they could possibly do. I look at the characters we have gotten and think, "every single one of these dudes has so much right to be here". No matter what, that is more than what could be said for SC5.
Also, I'm still cautiously optimistic that we'll see one or two more base characters, and that those small circles either represent unlockables or placeholders due to this being an old build. Let's stay positive guys =p
