Ditto. It was like that in Smash for the Wii U and the 3DS. Fortunately Nintendo were less greedy with Ultimate and no longer forced us to pay for characters that have been in previous entries like Roy. They only force us to pay for character passes that included new fighters. In fact, the whole point of Ultimate is that "EVERYONE IS HERE!"

I'm not even a big Lei Wulong guy, but him not being in Tekken 8 is asinine. He's been a staple of the series since... Tekken 3, at least? And speaking of which, who's Tekken's face/MC? A lot of people assume Jin is... but he only debuted in T3. Before that, Kazuya was the poster boy. Unlike Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, King of Fighters and Virtua Fighter; Tekken doesn't seem to have a consistent MC...
