Who's coming to Avatar Legends? DLC Characters

So, after going over a bunch of characters from the Avatar shows and talking about their potential implementation in the upcoming Avatar fighting game, I'd like to discuss who I think is most likely making it in as DLC. Pure speculation, coming right up:

There's still no way Iroh isn't getting in, right? Zuko's funny uncle and former general of and heir to the fire nation has gone through many things as a recurring character throughout ATLA. He's a fan-favorite firebender without whom the roster would just feel incomplete and he's not lacking in connections to minor characters that could be his supports. 
Iroh is the safest prediction possible in my opinion, we will see him at some point.

I feel similarly about King Bumi. He's up there with Iroh for the most requested character, he's not short on significance or support and he would bring something unique to the game. Very easy pick as well. 

For the third pick, I'd say Ty Lee's omission from Azula's support cast at least makes her a possible candidate and between her sisters, her fire nation allegiance and later association with the Kyoshi warriors means there are support options for her. 
Not to mention, if we are talking fan-favorites and safe choices it does not get much better than this.

Finally, I'm thinking there's gonna be one more TLOK rep and it will be either a supporting character or, which I think is more likely, Amon. He's the series' most iconic villain with the potential for one of the most disrespectful movesets of all time; I have no doubt he isn't at least on the devs' radar.

This leaves us with a new character for every element except air, which of course brings me to Kai. Not saying he's a likely addition, just that I'd like him to be and that I will vote for him. And yes, in case some people are unaware, anyone who preordered the game gets a vote on who the final year 1 DLC character should be, so feel free to pre-order the game on steam so you can vote for Kai.. err, I mean if you want your voice heard on who you want in.

I don't really see the point in M. Bison

Street Fighter 6 sees Bison emerge with a severe case of amnesia, roaming the streets like a feral animal as he fights whoever he can find to quell his hunger for battle. Eventually, in an “unknown location”, he stumbles upon the answer to his questions: Juri, who accidentally reveals to him who he was. After defeating her, he adopts the identity of Bison and resumes doing what he does: seek more power, attempt to subjugate more fighters (as seen in Sagat’s story) and potentially rebuild his organization. On one hand, this technically counts as a reinterpretation of his character? This Bison is basically a revenant, a beast hungering for power in contrast to the still insane, but more visually put together crime boss Bison from previous games who would have otherwise competed with JP in his role, at least design-wise. The dark hood and ripped cape over a bare chest and stomach in combination with his messy hair really works to emphasize this change. Capcom tried their hardest here, but...

The Black Flag Remake worries me.

It sure does feel weird to bear witness to a “Ubisoft W” after all this time. The new trailer for their upcoming remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag has been outright well-received, and I can definitely understand why. Within the franchise, Black Flag is in the unique position of being just old enough to justify updating in this way, while still being accessible enough on modern hardware at somewhat low prices to the point where most fans of the franchise have had a chance to play it. Most importantly, however, it is arguably the last universally beloved title in the series. Remember, Ubisoft tried to sell an entire game based on its naval combat and multiplayer. Keeping all that in mind, the decision to remake Black Flag specifically is nothing short of the safest possible choice they could have made. Amid numerous cancellations during a corporate restructuring effort, Black Flag likely survived as a project based on that alone. The company needs an easy win and now they might just ...

Dee Jay, Leroy, Gaming Representation and Why It Matters

The following is a script of a video essay I sadly don't have the time to edit and publish before the end of Black History Month.  So, as part of my American Studies degree, I’ve been researching ICE; its methods, goals and especially the propaganda around it and the immigrants it is targeting. The language surrounding immigrants in the US (and my home country of Germany too, frankly) is vile, disgusting, intentionally dehumanizing and meant to enable the numerous breaches of law and decency on ICE’s part. Of course, that kind of propaganda hasn’t worked on everyone, but that it worked on anyone at all has made me think a lot about influence. Like, where do we get our ideas about ourselves and each other from? What infers our impression of people we don’t have much direct contact with? What are the potential consequences of lacking that exposure? And what does all this have to do with two fighting game characters? Let me explain: Part 1: Fighting Games and “inherent re...
