In order to promote the exclusivity of Bloody Roar V coming to PS4 as well, I would have to go with Alice, Bakuryu, Uranus, Reji, Mana Cronos, Fang.

Theyr fail was easy to spot: they try to represent Ps3, that in the dudbro gen was kinda anonymous and poor of icons
They should have focused on generic “Playstation” as tradition and focus where the icons was, PS1/2 era
And even in that case they should have go heavy on third party stuff… even Nintendo do it, and they actually have good characters lol
The problem of Sony has ever been that they don’t realize how not-cool they are (and my current console are a Ps3 and a Ps4 lol), they seem not realize that most of theyr legacy was thanks to third party exclusives when they was THE King and they did’nt had to pay to get cool shit
They are obsessed at create internal IP (wich is good but often they bet on wrong peoples) wich often are weak or lack charisma
If we search icons and watch the current internal situation
-Kratos is the only pure powerful sony one
-Ratchet & Clanck at least have some look but are not Mario/Sonic
-Sackboy is’nt that bad, but sure as fuck is’nt Mario/Sonic
-Kutaro is kinda nice, but nobody give fuck about Puppeteer
-Knack is the worst shit have put my eyes on in years, and they used money for that lol
-Under chara design pov Nathan Drake is random dudebro design
-TLoU guy is Nathan Drake’s dad with a beard
-Infamous dude was most generic dudebro ever
-New Infamous dude was 30% less generic dudebro but +85% “i want punch him in the face”
-Killzone general perception is that is kinda poor men halo
In addition to that they lost PS classic icons (Crash, Spyro, Sir Daniel etc), lost exclusive on classic ones (DMC, MGS, FF, Tekken) and all new really iconic brands of ps360 gen has been multiplatform
New good hopes for them to get some icons seem The Order and Bloodborne, some stuff with eye catchy design and character
And of course, SFV if they can keep it
Hsien Ko, cause Capcom did her dirty in UMVC3 and she deserves another chance.

Funny thing is that some of those series are by companies not owned or only recently bought by Sony. Though the games were published by Sony I don’t know if they actually owned the rights to the characters/franchises.
Ratchet and Clank / Resistance are Insomniac games which is a privately owned companu not a Sony subsidiarie.
Infamous and Sly Cooper is by Sucker Punch who were only bought by Sony in 2011.
… Mai Shiranui.
EDIT:
Or Angel… or Vanessa… or Shermie… or Elisabeth… or Leona…

Joel. S+ tier with bricks, shanks and bottles. Improvised cqc ala Abel and mix up sprint /run game. Zone with the bow. Added damage to bust fools through the wall like shown in trailers
His Level 3 super infects the screen with a gray and brown camera filter, then sits down and initiates a 20 minute cutscene going over how shitty narrative and mediocre gameplay sells games like fucking pancakes.
Ratchet from the original game would be sweet. His power up mode makes clank turn into Giant Clank who plays similar to Hugo with better normals

Oh SF needs a insect grappler. Bloody roar rep FTW! Get Stun in there son!
Akira has a play-style different from any of the other SF characters, looks cool, and she fits the general tone of the franchise.

How’s about Solid Snake? I mean they got Rolento using grenades and wires in USFIV. So I think they can make Solid Snake work. Or Uriko from Bloody Roar. Unlike the rest of the cast she transforms into a half beast so compared to the rest of the BR cast, she wouldn’t seem to out of place. This isn’t serious of course.
URGHHHHHHHHH BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!
SNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
I should play MGS4 again.
Off topic for a sec. Whose gona get MGS5 and whose gona be playing MGO?
Yeah but… Smash brothers got him. That’d be too dumb if he crossed into other major franchises.
My votes: Ninja Gaiden (Oh sup RYU) or Gambit (TriHard)
