So why exactly do we throw out the code names now? Is that because its only 4 characters or is it because Haohmaru doesnt match any of them?
Anyway,
The ongoing issue with the character debates was clones and guest characters. We look at guest characters... and it seems that a lot of us here dont want them but then, there are upsides to that. One point is it can be exciting to get a guest because its like a surprise mystery box. We dont know what we may get. Whereas with the remaining SC characters, there isnt a lot left and we already know what to expect.
Segwaying over to the clone issue for a bit, many of us dont like seeing duplicated weapons for obvious reasons.
I find it incredibly frustrating that they have managed to take what makes guests fun and interesting to begin with, and remove this aspect by selecting a character strongly resembling another already on the roster. He's similar in weapon, appearance and general style. So now its as if people who didnt want clones are getting a big FU as well as people not wanting guests... all at one time.
