I'd just like to give an opinion about that gendre sex thing:
For me what matters is that when the devs create a new character, they have some kind of vision for it, and for me that character sex gendre should be chose from the dev based on how they feel it would be better for that character, and not be dependent on other things like "Oh there aren't enough females on the game, ok so let's turn our sick idea we had about that male character and turn him into female", if you see what i mean, basically.
To be with the actual topic, yes i'd be down with Li Long. He was basically the only character i've ever used in the 3 days i played Soul Edge back then hehe.
