If we got an Arc System Works character, would you rather see a historic NES-era character like Kunio or Bimmy Billy and Jimmy Lee, a character from one of their fighting games like Sol Badguy or Ragna the Bloodedge, a more recent beat-em-up character like Kyoko or Misako from River City Girls, or someone else?
(I'm not familiar with their line-up beyond beat-em-ups and fighting games)
It's a toss-up for me but I lean towards Sol Badguy because Guilty Gear XXACR is my favorite fighting game ever. Sol is an awesome character with a ton of flashy moves and a crazy transformation move that would be sick to see in Smash, and the music is incredible. I love the world of Guilty Gear, so the stages, music, spirits, etc that he would bring would be worth as much as the character to me.
I recognize the historical importance of Billy & Jimmy or Kunio and I actually love Double Dragon and the River City games, so they aren't disappointing to me. River City Girls was also fantastic and Kyoko and Misako are just delights and I'd love to see them as a duo character like in that one ArcSys crossover game.
I am not a fan of BlazBlue comparatively speaking. I think it made its mark, but I'd be disappointed if we got Ragna over another ArcSys fighter, especially considering a lot of the BlazBlue characters I actually like just don't have a chance. I'm sure he'd bring great music and mechanics, but my emotional attachment is not positive, especially because it felt for a while that we'd never get another GG game due to rights issues and the original BlazBlue didn't scratch the itch for me in any way, not in story, not in roster, nothing.
