As a starting kof player, I was really glad to see Leona tear it up in that tournament, though there are still a few I'd really like to see more of. Chiefly, think I can die happy if I can find a match where Terry or Ralf stomp, or really to find any good match with Maxima, Ryo, or Mai in it at all. Especially as a new player, it's rather easy to become convinced when people say that certain characters lack all of the tools required to be successful and thus lack viability. Also when no one plays them it's rather hard to learn from scratch at that.
Just my two cents anyway.
