At a Glance: Season 2 Roster Status

The table summarizes what is confirmed so far – availability reflects official timing and may update as staged releases progress.

Kim Jae Hoon – Pressure, Spacing and Taekwondo Fundamentals

Kim Jae Hoon carries forward his father’s authentic Taekwondo, leaning on elegant kicks, tight pressure and close‑ to mid‑range control. His kit blends legacy techniques with new options that extend offense on both the ground and in the air. The official breakdown highlights a toolkit built for continuous pressure and flexible combo routes.

Hangetsu Zan

A cartwheel‑style sequence ending with a heel drop that excels as a ground approach. It has notable reach, solid damage and lets Kim advance forward or backward while staying plus in pressure. In combos, the move pairs well after braking Ryuusei Raku to extend damage with the Light version.

Hien Zan

A somersault kick designed as a reliable anti‑air, but it also fits offensive strings. From Rev Hishou Kyaku, Kim can route into Rev Hien Zan to create super cancel opportunities, reinforcing both defense and conversion potential.

Shakka Shuu

A forward lunge from a raised‑leg stance. The Heavy and Rev variants gain a guard point during the lift, allowing Kim to absorb an incoming hit and answer back. The Rev version launches on the final strike, enabling follow‑up combos and extra corner carry.

Ryuusei Raku

A two‑part technique – a low sweep into a heel drop. The initial sweep can be braked, turning it into a consistent combo starter. From a brake, Kim can chain into Hangetsu Zan, or complete the Rev version and transition with Rev Accel into Hisyou Kyaku to maintain momentum.

Hisyou Kyaku

A rapid downward kick that is executed only midair. Several of Kim’s moves, including Ryuusei Raku (Rev), lift him off the ground – on a successful launch, Hisyou Kyaku provides the aerial follow‑up needed to optimize damage.

Houten Kyaku (New)

A new addition to Kim’s arsenal: an upward leap into a crushing heel drop. During this move, Kim can evade low attacks and ground projectiles, giving him a versatile option for counterplay on both offense and defense.

Release Cadence and Content Packaging

Characters in Season 2 will be rolled out in stages, with a planned monthly cadence and two roster spots reserved for unannounced fighters. A Legend Edition was also revealed, bundling the base game, Season Pass 1 and Season Pass 2 for comprehensive access to current and upcoming Season 2 characters.

Final Takeaway – What This Means for Players

Season 2 sets a clear schedule and a defined roster arc – monthly character drops, a technical opener in Kim Jae Hoon, and legacy names returning throughout the season. If you track match‑up knowledge or lab new routes, the staged releases and detailed move updates provide a steady runway for learning and adaptation.
