Summary

Feitan Portor brings exciting gameplay to Nen x Impact, reminiscent of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 fighters like Vergil.
Fans are thrilled by the diverse roster of Hunter x Hunter characters, including main heroes and sinister villains.
With only 16 characters on the roster, fans speculate on the remaining five for Nen x Impact's upcoming launch.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact has revealed another character for its roster, Feitan Portor of the Phantom Troupe, and his playstyle is quite familiar for fans of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact is a 3v3 team fighting game based on the popular long-running manga and anime series by Yoshihiro Togashi. This fighting game has excited fans, as it is another team fighter like the Marvel vs. Capcom series and Arc System Works' Dragon Ball FighterZ instead of the litany of 3D arena anime fighters that many other shonen anime have gotten.

10 fighters for the roster have been revealed so far, which include the main characters like Gon Freecs, Killua Zoldyck, and Kurapika, to major Hunter x Hunter supporting characters like Biscuit Kreuger. A number of villains from the series, specifically the Phantom Troupe antagonist faction, have also been confirmed, like Uvogin, Machi, and most recently, Chrollo Lucilfer. Another member of the Phantom Troupe faction has been confirmed for the roster, Feitan Portor.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact's latest roster member was revealed during Japan Expo in France, complete with a new trailer for the fighting game. Feitan Portor is one of the most powerful members of the Phantom Troupe, where he uses his Trick Umbrella as a sword. Feitan's playstyle is based on quick and focused sword strikes, fitting for Feitan being one of the fastest characters in the franchise. He also has a built-in comeback mechanic that gives his attacks more power at lower health, meaning he's a bit of a glass cannon.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact's Feitan Portor is Familiar to Marvel vs. Capcom Fans

Fighting game players noted that Feitan's playstyle is incredibly familiar, which isn't too much of a surprise as developer Eighting worked on both Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and the upcoming Nen x Impact. In this case, Feitan plays very similarly to Devil May Cry's Vergil in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, with both characters having a Helm Splitter overhead, Million Stab, a spinning Lunar Phase move, and even a Rapid Slash-esque super move. Fans familiar with both games were ecstatic and terrified as Vergil is considered one of Ultimate vs. Capcom 3's best characters, and Feitan seems like he'll carry on the character's spirit.

Feitan is the 11th character of the Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact's seemingly small roster. Fans have concerns about the roster's size, as it will only be comprised of 16 characters. As the game was both revealed and will be launching later this year, fans speculate these factors are potential reasons as to why its launch roster is so small. Based on this info, there are potentially only five fighters left to be revealed for Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact's roster.
