Really happy to see Ryo in the game, because that means cutscenes and something to hold me over until 2017 or whenever Shenmue 3 releases.
Here's hoping Ryo is in a paired unit, I'd love to see Ren as well. Or Joy, since female characters are always a plus. Shenhua would be cool, but I don't think we have ever seen her fight and we don't know how she fights. Wonder if some of that Dragonball Z magic hinted at in Shenmue Online will seep into the game?
