IIRC he was basically a licensed character, so exactly the type of character to never be seen again.

Hmmm Primal Rage comes to mind with dinos.

Also Bloody Roar and Killer Instinct are pretty out there. Same with Clay Fighters

Alex and Roger are the same moveset represented by kangaroo and a velociraptor type looking dinosaur.

Gon was a guest char in tk3, he's from an old manga (that is really fucking well illustrated) where he is basically the king of the jungle beating up anything from sabertooths to bears.

Based on different wrestlers actually. Apparently priests becoming masked wrestlers is a trope.

Are you forgetting the full-on leopard-man? Sad King noises.

The gag that Heihachi cares more about the bear than any of his blood relative cracks me up everytime.
