Or that Doki was the secret leader of the Bitch Clique till she was ousted by Vox Akuma and now seeks the #2 Headband so she can have her revenge.

Surprise he's the third character to be shown. I expected Kagemaru or Jacky.

Next one is to be shown at Combo Breaker in two weeks, it seems it's a kickboxer by the silhouette at the end of the VF Direct so I'd expect Brad.
Really happy with the redesign, massive glowup and it seems they will go to a more realistic show-off theming. Not every game needs to be extremely serious but I need to see gameplay, T8 is bathing in lava right now after announcing one of the most hated newcomers, Fuckyourmom Fahkuram so SEGA have a big opportunity to steal part of the audience over there.

Why is Fahkumram hated? If anything, I think he's a better choice than Bruce.

Baki-shaped Muay Thai fighter who is actually Thai, if anything I don't get why Lidia is pushed so heavily in comparison.

Shit hurtbox (he had a small hurtbox but he was a huge character), overpowered mix game/reach, low elbow attack (can't be parried), and almost all his mids tracked both sides. Basically he had all the advantages of a big character without disadvantages. He was fixed after release but the damage was done, same as Leroy, and they didn't even nerf him that much, just removed one-for-all moves.

My experience with Virtua Fighter games is that the controls always felt sluggish and finnicky, but also you could spam triangle with the monk and just win.

The point of virtua fighter was you'd master stun palm with Akira and just impress your opponents with your impeccable input execution.

VF feels more like a martial arts simcade than a traditional fantastical fighting game like Soul Calibur or even Tekken that's extra anime since 6.
Ironically, VF retained movement and defensive options while Tekken nerfed movement severly since 5 and added extra mechanics to mitigate defensive options, so if people bitching about Tekken had a small impetus to try VF they would be ecstasic to find out every pressure situation in VF has at least 2 escapes, the game is deeply complex with open/closed stances (if your character is facing the fore or background, it changes where you should sidestep and even the range of the attacks and that's just one layer), vastly diverse stage format and sizes, framedata alchemy based on the starting condition of the move (neutral, run, sidestep) and complex OSes that end up being mandatory in the utmost high level of the game because throws are really hard to tech.
This is all based on my 200h in VF5REVO, I hope VF6 follows the same playstyle because I'm tired of this gentrification of fighting games all feeling/playing the same.

FWIW, Tekken Tag, and a little bit of 5, are my primary 3D fighting experience, with GGXX for 2D.

Soul Calibur 1-3, Tekken Tag and 5 (not DR) were my primary 3D.
