HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!!!

CM Punk (All Elite Wrestling / Former World Wrestling Entertainment Wrestler)

Surprise! CM Punk enters the fray! This M.U.G.E.N adaptation of CM Punk was made before his recent debut over at AEW, so most of the potential references this character has will be based on his time at WWE. I don't want to say anything else because I'm afraid that CM Punk will come find me and uses his Go To Sleep finisher on me.

Rock Howard (Fatal Fury)

Geese Howard's abandoned son and the burden of Terry Bogard, Rock Howard joins the battle. Rock Howard's father died technically from the hands of Terry (even though the good natured fighter tried to save him), so Terry raised him to be better than his father. Rock's moveset is a combination of Terry's and Geese's moves.

Ash Crimson (The King of Fighters)

The jerk of a KoF protagonist joins the fight. Ash caused trouble for Kyo and Iori within the Ash Saga arc of The King of Fighters story. But what was unknown to both Kyo and Iori was that Ash was taking out the main arc antagonists, Those From the Past behind their backs and ends up sacrificing himself to get rid of his ancestor, who was the leader of Those From the Past.

Karin Kanzuki (Street Fighter)

Karin Kanzuki is the spoiled rival of Sakura. Although as of Street Fighter V, she is also Sakura's friend as well as the head of the family's Zaibatsu. She uses her own unique style of fighting too.

Urien (Street Fighter)

Urien is the ruthless disciple of the Secret Society, which is run by his older brother, Gill. Despite being a disciple, he did try to betray theme numerous times. Urien really hates his brother out of jealousy and wants to become ruler of the Secret Society.

Batsu (Rival Schools)

This high schooler, despite being an impulsive loudmouth, has a strong sense of justice and has a heart of gold. Even then, he's usually misunderstood due to his rough personality. In the first Rival Schools game, he's a transfer student at Taiyo High School in search of his mother.

Stay tuned for more challengers!
