I think a lot of people may pick him up at least as a side char. He's very solid, fun to play and a lot more accessible imo then some others dlc characters like skarlet and rain.
He just feels more well rounded, skarlet has a bunch of lopsided matchups and she doesn't seem that easy to play to me and rain feels very average so if there was one dlc char that everybody would swarm to it would be Kenshi.
I havn't considered freddy at all btw.
