I agree, especially if the character is a staple or was already in the previous game.
I know sometimes it's a surprise to bring someone that's been missing for several games, but Lei Wulong is a horrible choice. He's been in every game since Tekken 2, and there is no storyline reason (death/missing) for him not to be on the base roster. Now someone like Bruce or Baek that have been missing for several games, those I get and would be a pleasant surprise for fans.
Another rule should be, if the character was already DLC in the last game, they either don't come back or if they do, they should be base roster. Leroy, Lidia and Fahkurahm were all DLC in Tekken 7, I have no idea why Leroy was base roster but you had to pay again for the other two.
Same for Dead or Alive where Mai, Nyotengu, Momiji, Rachael and Alpha were all paid DLC in DOA5... and then again in DOA6. But somehow the later additions to 5, Marie and Honoka were base roster in 6.

When it comes to Tekken it's usually the Mishimas. if we had to chose a face, it would have be Kazuya and Jin since they've been the main characters of most games.
Tekken 1 was Heihachi
Tekken 2 was Kayuza
Tekken 3 was Jin
Tekken 4 also Jin
Tekken 5 also Jin, I know Asuka made her debut but she had almost no involvement in the story
Tekken 6 more Kazuya though it can be argued that it's Kazuya/Jin
Tekken 7- pretty much Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin
Tekken 8- Reina though I'm sure also Kazuya and Jin
