Most of the times, wherever a new character is announced, I tend to see the character select roster to see how they will fit new characters and if it has space for more.

After Raven and Kum (Dizzy too) announcing I went to the official page, specifically, the characters (obviously), and after comparing how it works in-game, the console release will only have an option: Do a new design to fit everyone, which can give us hope to more characters come into the bay.

We've already seen the new select screen:

Oh, sorry, I have forgotten about this one, but I thought this one was when Jack and Jam were to be released. So, anyway, 27th will show some of Raven's gameplay?

[Suzaku]

Yes, Raven and Kum Haehyun.

Four new slots? Kum, Raven, Dizzy and ??? . There's no way they leave the random selec area there.

Well, in the design before that one, the random was in the middle represented by a question mark. Unless they remove question marks and put random in the middle, it is possible to have another character.

Although we know that slot won't be filled by console release (all the information states 6 new chars for console: Dizzy, Kum, Johnny, Jack-O, Jam, Raven), but it could be another character slot down the line. If anything I prefer that random in the corner because it balances out the whole screen. Who decided to have an odd number of characters anyway >_<

[JustaMaskedFreak]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I heard a REALLY long time ago about Dizzy being DLC for console release, is that true?

I'm really not sure what's happening with dizzy tbh, not much info has been given at all, and we can infer that she's further from finished than the other 2, since Kum and Raven are getting gameplay reveals pretty soon. iirc Kum is pre-order/early bonus DLC? But I don't think any information is out there on how Dizzy will be included. Just have to wait and see I guess.

Mother or Ariels I am assuming

[Suzaku]

Definitely Ariels. Maybe she'll be the newcomer in the first batch of new characters for the third iteration.

Has some short glimpses of Raven and Kum's Instant Kills, also, at 00:54, 00:56. Didn't really spot anything else new in the quick flashes of footage.

Raven movelist

I believe there is some 5 on 5 going on right now but I doubt there is a stream

[Suzaku]

I just started translating it. I'll edit or post a reply when I get done.

Take three. These translations and move names are subject to change. Kum added. Profiles also added.

Kum Haehyun
CV: Hideaki Tezuka

"So you desire a bout with the Kum clan patriarch, Haehyun."

The descendant of an ethnic group that was nearly wiped out by Justice's attack. She can tune the Ki flowing through all living things, an exceptionally rare ability limited to a single bloodline. The current head of the Kum family of descendants, Kum Haehyun believes in doing everything to the best of her ability and has earned the trust of those around her.

Additionally, because the Kum family has traditionally only permitted male successors to take leadership of the family, she spends most of her time piloting a humanoid cyborg named Kum Jeonryeok. The fact that it conceals a young woman doesn't appear to be common knowledge.

Raven
CV: Hiroki Yasumoto

"Insanity is expecting different results."

One of That Man's lieutenants, swearing absolute loyalty to him. His body is immortal, as well as ageless. The redundancy of living day to day for several centuries has left him almost completely unable to feel stimuli, save one invigorating sensation: pain.

Wonder why the other players are blacked out? Monetary issues?

[RoBoBOBR]

No, it's an early version of Toshin-gekitotsu poster, when only 3 players were determined.

I'll never not be bothered by the asymmetrical placement of Dizzy's to-be-portrait and the square for random select.

[JustaMaskedFreak]

The trailer was awesome, the only thing that bothered me was the fact that they didn't show Dizzy gameplay, or even herself in-game

It's probably because they don't have a working in-game model for her yet. As far as we can tell, they've been working on Kum and Raven for a while, since they're now in the game fully, but Dizzy's development probably only started properly once the poll finished, so they're not at a finished state just yet. I would be very surprised if they had Dizzy ready by this point to be honest, making even just 1 character is a huge task and they've been doing 2 at the same time recently if not 3.
