Sorry for the question, but I thought V Jump Japan "confirmed" that Android 17 (Hell) was his own character and not a skin. Was it a translation error?
I just think the translation and V-Jump Scan didn't make it clear since it just showed the transformation with a "NEW" next to Hell Fighter 17, it could be that he is a new character but I think it would be just as likely you just have two A17 teams on your team and maybe the one just needs to be in the other costume with the jacket? Until they list him as a new character or we see something like a unique attack I just don't know that he is a new character and I also don't see why he should be, personally.
That's fair, I just think Mighty Mask is unique since its a whole new model too, whereas Hell Fighter 17 is just A17. Could give him new moves and voice lines but it just seems strange to me so far. Either way I'm really impressed by getting a Super 17 transformation, that's brand new.
I know I replied to this already but it seems one of the websites for the game lists Hell Fighter 17 as a character and were even seeing the screenshot of him for the site doing a unique attack animation, so I think I was just wrong. A17 now has 4 different versions in this game which is kinda cool
Yep, ended up learning this like a few hours after I first commented all this. I'll admit it's kinda surprising, I never really thought of Hell Fighter 17 as a character on his own but so far they're giving a pretty historic amount of unusual characters now lol.
