I want a New Character for SCVI like Groh and Azwel, hopefully, a new female character.

Since the last one we've got was Haohmaru, my best bet is a similar solution, so a poster boy/girl character from another fighting game most relevant at the time of Season 3 release. Which will be Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear -Strive-.
I might be wrong, but that's the best guess I have.

What makes you think that? Can you elaborate on your objectively-phrased subjectivities dressed in derogative terms?

You accuse good guy Harada of stealing SC6 assets for Tekken 7 out of the blue with zero proof. I think is crazy talk.

I think you're reading into my post a little bit there, too. If you re-read it, you might notice that I am very clear about the subjectivity of my views. I ain't accusing Harada. If anything, I'm suspecting (based on earlier evidence that Harada pulled SC staff and put them on Project Tekken, confirmed by earlier interviews and continuing the much-discussed pattern of stepchild treatment of SC by Bamco compared to Tekken). There is no hard evidence of course, and I think I did not imply that.
You can like Setsuka's stage all you want of course, and from my perspective, comparing Kuni's and Setsuka's stages side by side, the discrepancy in quality is highly evident. Which is what made me wonder how the content ended up so different, just barely two months apart, rendering COVID as an explanation rather unlikely. So is it budget that's responsible for what I feel is a rush job (lighting, texture quality, level of detail, empty space)? I don't know.
Is there anyone who doesn't think said stage (with only slight tweaks to fences and the city in the background) would have been an asthetically 10/10 fitting addition to SC along with Setsuka's release, tho?

They were just expressing a hunch ("I cannot help but think..."), not throwing a definitive accusation, is how I interpreted the comment.

Alright then.
I really don't see it, also it's not like we even had a chance to properly examine Kunimitsu's arena to begin with, all we have is a short trailer with glimpses of it from random angles. From what I can see, Kunimitsu's stage looks much bigger and for that reason alone much more empty, a big chunk of the floor is just a giant space painted one single dark color with some petals on top (Setsuka's bare soil floor with occasional grass looks more interesting to me), also the biggest attraction of Kunimitsu's stage stage is a single pagoda on the background, which is not nearly as cool as an entire medieval castle, also Setsuka's stage has a secondary big attraction with a dying cherry blossom while with Kunimitsu's stage I don't see any other central element beyond the pagoda, everything else is generic even if good looking.

Dude, there's more.
Compared to Setsuka's stage's background:
The town consists of the same mesh models and textures of the same buildings over and over. So are the cherry trees (same mesh model on repeat). Just saying.
However, tastes differ.

Setsuka's stage has a couple of 2d sprites of townswomen as well.
Granted, i'm glad S2 gave us a lot of "new" stages they won't all be home runs

The skybox alone does most of the lifting on those screenshots, in the trailer, where it's night time most of the duration and it is darker, the stage is suddenly not near as good looking.

If only the same thing was true for Murakomo Shrine Grounds

That Kuni stage feels so much more like Setsuka than her stage. I still think we have it better because at least SC isn’t counting the stage as part of the season pass slot.

Unless you didn't buy 2B or Haohmaru for $6 each. Tekken 7 had Geese, Noctis, & Negan. The stages were included with the character for $8 each.

Don't hype yourself up. It'll only end up hurting you.

Quality of Kunimitsu's weapons in Tekken 7 (assuming the key art is based on in-game model)
Kinda odd that Tekken has better quality weapons meshes/textures compared to Soul Calibur lol.

That looks too high-poly to be an in-game model to me. That said, I'm willing to bet the in-game model is still much more detailed than anything in SC. Poor SC is always treated like the red-headed stepchild compared to Tekken.
