Yeah this is a real shocker for me. To be honest they're not really that far off as they're about 11 months behind jp.

This all begs the question if they're going to follow the jp release order for himes (which would mean that ssr metatron is the next ssr) or release the himes that were released with the event in jp (the ssr was snow raphael) or maybe just do their own thing and release random himes.
