Where did Mitsuko, Hance, and Greg go?

Okay, this may be a dumb question, but I've been pondering over it ever since I bought my first-ever BR game (Bloody Roar 2) last Memorial Day (5/26/03):

Where in the name of Hades have Mitsuko the Warthog, Hance the Fox (a.k.a. "Fox"), and Greg the Gorilla gone?

I mean, think about it---here we had three very impressive zoanthropes, each with a fierce and original beast form, and yet, they haven't reappeared in any other game of the series as yet. Sure, certain characters from subsequent BR games may have adopted a number of their moves (e.g., Jenny received some of Hance's moves, Stun fights in a manner similar to Mitsuko, etc.), but that's just not the same thing. The only instance in which ANY of these three characters stuck around was when Mitsuko was taken hostage by the ZLF in BR 2 and had her daughter Uriko rescue her from their stronghold. She wasn't even allowed to FIGHT BACK, for crying out loud, which was a bit of an insult to her character, in my opinion.

Therefore, if ANYONE could tell me whatever happened to Mitsuko, Hance, and Greg in terms of their connection to and removal from the Bloody Roar series and if there's anything we BR fans could do to bring them back, please let me know at...

It's just a shame to see these three go after Hudson had worked so hard in creating them for the game in the first place.

Thank you, and please forgive whatever preaching I have done in this post.

Well I dont know maybe the games producer left them away from the game or he didnt even put there guys like that..

Wrong. Fox, Mitsuko, and Greg were all in the original Bloody Roar but were never reintroduced into later installments in the series.

Fox was left our because he was too androgynous a character for most gamers to take seriously (Hudson Soft's own fault; they should've either completely made him a femal character--especially for the sake of gender equality on the roster--or kept him a man, period, and thrown away the whole transvestite nonsense.) and replaced by the obviously female Jenny.

Mitsuko was kept in the BR storyline but was reduced to a supporting character more likely than not because she was too butch for most gamers to appreciate, which is complete nonsense in my book, seeing as the fact that she wasn't a stereotypically svelt fighting game female actually made her more interesting a character in my book. I meanm come on! TNA Wrestling's Awesome Kong (a.k.a. Kharma in WWE) isn't exactly a bikini model herself, but she's been considered to be one of the greatest female wrestlers in professional wrestling for this past decade, so WTH?

Finally, according to opentopia.com, "Greg was deemed a useless characther that no one liked (being both slow and weak)." Again, I blame Hudson here for not giving enough "Oomph!" to Greg's arsenal to help reflect his unsusual yet unique powerhouse fighting style. Plus, the campy "circus ringmaster" gimmick didn't exactly do the poor guy any favors, either.

Hope that helps, Bored Guy.
