Is Rock an unpopular, "shit character"? I mean, i guess sure. So is half of the remaining characters teased for season 2 if you want to say that. There just isnt strong enough evidence to differentiate him from the others at this point. A handfull of people posting and liking comments at 8wayrun doesnt reflect his overall popularity.
Fighting games just dont design every character to look good. Take the most popular and recognized fighting game ever as an example. Exactly how many characters are designed to be visually appealing? Sexy doesnt come to mind when i think of Honda, Zangief, Blanka, Hugo, Birdie, Dahlsim, Hakan, Oro, El Fuerte, Rufus, Fang, etc... Nor are any of those characters "badass" either.
This was something that made a lot more sense to say back before the game released and we had no idea who was on season 1 or if there even was going to be a season 2 and how many characters. Then of course, yeah there was no way he would make DLC. Things are a little different now.
There hasnt really been any examples i can think of where a new character made DLC when there are missing legacy characters. Unless we're talking about exceptions that are taken way out of context. Such as F2P examples like KI, or similar cases like SF5, or a brand new fighter where everyone is new anyway. Tengu from DOA? Ok and that was it, right? Did anyone else get replaced? What would be the Soulcalibur equivelant of that? Charade maybe? Not like, a real character basically. The takeaway point with that is companies have a little more respect for their characters and fans than some of you think.
