One really does wonder what was SNK thinking when they briefly decided to show off Joe without formally revealing him.
Maybe it was a goof? Wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened elsewhere. Sakurai briefly showed Ganondorf in one of his pre-release Smash directs.
I think they teased Joe.
The only returning characters that left to be announced are Kensou, Ramon, Goro, Joe, Mature, Yuri and Mai. My theory is that Goro, Joe and Mature will be revealed in same trailer closing Hero Team, Yagami's Team and FF Team. And then a trailer with maybe Ramon, Sie and Alice.
After that, and coinciding with Japan game events later this month, we'll have a trailer with Mai, Yuri and Nakoruru. The three japanese and iconic girls of FF, AOF and SS, the most famous and representative franchises of the old SNK. Pure speculation, but i have a hunch it's going to be like that. This way we will have all classic teams closed and Antoher World Team opened.
by the way, the game is looking great, isn't it?
