Maximum Entertainment has announced there's some new "free DLC" on the way in the form of two new fighters Jeff and Abore. These two characters will be joining this April, so when they drop, we'll be sure to let you know. Here's a description of each character: Jeff - "A childhood rival of the Lee brothers, Jeff trained alongside them in the martial art Sōsetsuken. But as his skills lagged behind, jealousy grew. Determined to surpass Billy and Jimmy, Jeff abandoned his noble path and embraced the streets, merging Karate with Sōsetsuken to develop a dangerous, unpredictable fighting style." Abore - "A massive ex-soldier with a stoic demeanor, Abore fights with raw power and unwavering calm. His incredible strength and resilience have led some to wonder: is he a man, or something more? The quiet brawler offers no answers, only crushing blows."
