KingDethgarr

Tonpa is the Shin Akuma of this game.


Madvin

Wow, I would not have thought of him.


Renektonstronk

He was the major antagonist for Greed Island


Haytaytay

Yeah but as far as greed island antagonists go, Razor was way more memorable. Not complaining that he’s there, just surprised. Maybe it’s a sign that the roster will be huge.


Frosty-Pea

Praying for Razor to make it in


Junglepill22

I doubt it, I think what we see is what we get for roster size. I’m sure we’ll get dlc though.


noahboah

squeezing between the phantom troupe and meruem is a tall order for poor genthru lol two of the most iconic antagonist entities in all of anime


rGRWA

He’s the Arc Villain of Greed Island, so he always had high chances.


Sytle

When Broski mentioned Genthru in his video I had the same response. His gameplay could be super interesting though. Being able to attach a bomb to you and activate it later could be wild depending on how it is implemented.


Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi

He's an awesome character, I actually really liked him in the anime 


Sorrelhas

The way the title is worded makes it seem like he did it on accident


Shreeder4092

Justin thought that the character was going to be revealed at EVO Japan 2024, so in a way he is the first one to show the character.


XsStreamMonsterX

>EVO Japan 2023 Last year?


Shreeder4092

Oh it was an accidental typo.


SomaCreuz

I love this kind of villain that has a full arsenal of douchebaggery for you to trudge through and when you finally get to him hes actually so fucking strong that he probably didnt even needed to do all that anyway.


bdtechted

If he’s in then so will be Biscuit.


Roge2005

I think it would be interesting to see how his hatsu is translated to the game, maybe something like Ky Shock State or Gill’s Ice and Fire where they put something on the enemy to them hit them with another to do a lot of damage. Because for those who haven’t watched HxH, his ability is that he can place bombs on people and them explode them with heat.


hvc101fc

Thanks! I remember now! Which reminds me i wonder if cards will come in to play here. And bisky shouldnt far off now


Bulky-Complaint6994

And Meruem and Pitou to round it up.


InShane87

Youpi when?


Sweaty-Goat-9281

Idk man 16 characters is such bs tht he may not get in sadly


Frugalhedonistguy

Machi*


InShane87

She's already been confirmed.


cytrack718

Meruem gotta be there


probsthrowaway2

If they have Razor in there with a move set based around dodge ball imma go nuts


hvc101fc

I cant remember him….. what arc was he in


WeeceInTheTweece

Greed Island arc


Rutabaga-Level

The bomber


Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi

I caught the bomber 


Gustavoak77x

Wtf?


Hungry-Thing1569

Literally, main antagonist of the third biggest arc


G1SM0Beybladeburst

Justin caught the bomber


Separate-Hamster8444

Certified bomber moment


Raptor_234

Where chrollo and feitan😡


evawsonsimp

rest of the slots should go to: Illumi, canary, meruem, pittou, chrollo, uvogin, bisky, knuckles and kite


Hungry-Thing1569

Doubt it will go to Canary. It will probably be Gojo, Zeno or Shoot.


evawsonsimp

in that case id pref have shoot


IV-TheEmperor

Canary? My man here dreaming a make a wish.


Sweaty-Goat-9281

As long as I get rose meruem and silva im good


Shahars71

So uh, 7 characters left?


Fr0zens0lib

We better get razor


KingDethgarr

GIVE US TONPA YOU COWARDS


SirePuns

Honestly wasn’t expecting him to get revealed before the genei ryoudan and chimera ant characters (at least the heavy hitters like Meruem)


MissionSad265

Character list seems pretty small, hope it increases and doesnt end up being paid DLC fighterz sizes of micro transactions


Kerjj

It absolutely will. Every single fighting game includes DLC fighters these days. You're absolutely kidding yourself if you think they won't have paid DLC for new fighters.


Bulky-Complaint6994

Yeah, there's room for 6 dlc characters. 


Kerjj

With a cast as massive as Hunter X Hunter, you think we're only getting six DLC characters? If this game succeeds, we're getting way more than just 6.


Bulky-Complaint6994

Well, I'm also considering the low budget and lack of support the devs previous game got, dnf duel 


SumFriesWithThatSalt

It shows 16 character slots which makes sense considering this isn't an established Fighting games series (Yet). For example Street Fighter 5 and 6 had 16 and 18 in their base rosters. GGS had 15 and MK1 had like 18. I know Tekken 8 has like 30ish in it's roster but to hold this game to that standard is absurd.


Bulky-Complaint6994

Same devs as DNF Duel which also had 16 characters at launch. So, makes sense considering that they have a very low budget.


Schuler_

DNF Duel Isn't a tag fighter with 6 characters every match. And considering the quality of the animation and models + the complexity of the characters they could easily have 24-30 at launch with that budget. It needs a giant leap in quality for the final version for it to make sense, 16 is way to low for now.


oliveboimario

I don't disagree, but these two games probably have completely different budgets, for Dnf they have ArcSys to make all the visuals for them, which for their quality and the time, is definitely gonna be expensive. So comparing it to the roughly 650 000$ they apparently had for HxH is not really fair, which is an insanely low budget.

Schuler_

I'm not talking about dnf budget, just that a 1v1 game without a lot of characters is okay, a 3v3 with only 16 it isn't. Every match has 6 characters on the screen not only 2 from the rooster. And for the quality of the characters who have way worse animations and models + simpler movesets since you have 3 characters and assist to make up for it, the budget is enough to pump out 24-30 characters for sure. They are way, way cheaper to make than dnf characters. It has cheap models with low quality animations, no need to limit the rooster.


oliveboimario

That's not even close to how it works, do you think making a moveset for a character is simple ? Even if it was it still takes lot of time, which they don't have because of the ridiculously low budget, time is quite literally money in game development, and they also have to pay for the license and voice acting. So no, your argument doesn't make sense in the real world, the budget is still small, making it 3v3 doesn't magically increase the roster size.


Schuler_

Yes when the moveset is way simpler than a character from a 1v1 game and it is cheaply animated it is simple to make. ???, no, of course it doesn't increase by magic, it just means that having a small roster size in 3v3 is way worse than in a 1v1 game since in like 3 games you saw almost the entire roster.


Sorrelhas

Tekken reuses a bunch of stuff


TheFlusteredcustard

The game is apparently being built on practically a sub-shoestring budget for a modern fighting game, if this game sells any copies at all we're definitely getting a lot of DLC. The return on investment for them would be huge.


Incase_

Mids drop


Zylpherenuis

I swear every FGC sucks on this guys knob daily even if the game isn't all that great to begin with. Has quality for fighting games worsen over time due to these "Influencers" false sense of hype or am I just grown out of the Fighting game genre? What gives? Justin Wong Fanbase = ![gif](giphy|iVxMwQW4pHpL2|downsized)


oliveboimario

From what people have been saying, this game had a budget of about 650 000 $, to say thats low for a fighting game is an understatement, so you can't expect amazing visuals and presentation. The major thing is that the actual mechanics look fun, it seems to play like a mixture of MvC3 and DBFZ, all the pros who had access to it really enjoyed it too. Last thing is the franchise, there's a lot of fans of HxH, including me, so to have those characters be playable in a real fighting game is already a dream come true.


Zylpherenuis

It just be like any fighting game. People get overhyped about it. Play for a bit. People form their own opinions. Glitches, bugs, Power Unbalances and more are prevalent. People bitch and whine about it on Social Media. Some people will actively hype it up just to save face in the community (especially if they are sponsored/pay for by the company providing them with said game.) Weary players sick of Fighting games being fighting games won't buy Full Price. Wait about 6 months to buy it 35% or higher off digitally. Some people will play it with updates. Possibly 8 or more updates by the first 35% off sales. I dunno about you guys in the FGC with alot of faces making these bold claims that these flashes in the hotpan is going to be the "Shit" or just plain ol' shit. It just feels like we are retreading old with a new cup of paint splashed over it time and time again and man I wish there was something more unique that would give more life into the Fighting Game Genre. Nice to see HxH getting some love and recognition outside of its manga/anime but this ain't it Chief. It deserves better. Honestly, it looks too much similar to majority of the previous Fighting games in the past. I simply cannot be hyped about it. It doesn't offer much anything new outside of new franchise hitting the gym. And no. Not some popular E-boy/E-girl that is talented at being people skilled at a digital game of fisticuffs would propel me to buy the game. I buy it if its a company that I trust, played the demo, enjoyed the game as a whole outside of offering the meager Fighting Genre staple 1v1/3v3 trope.


narnarnartiger

This game looks so ugly and terrible
