Yikes. I would only be interested in purchasing Cham Cham, Enja, and Nicotine.

I’ll be playing Kyo for sure. May also dabble with Earthquake and Yoshi.

Very predictable.
I would like to see her, actually. I hope they would make her Kazaguruma a combo maker reducing it’s hits and let her do something -> Kazaguruma -> something and something -> Kazaguruma -> something better like 4K -> something.

Iroha was a mistake.

No Gen-An, really?? :confused:

And people asking for Iroha? Damn, the Japanese never cease to disgust me…

Why are you even surprised? Who literally cares about Genan while waifu-galore is happening?
And he needs a redesign anyway.
Also I think at least part of the people want Iroha not because fanservice but because of the gameplay.

That’s not very SamSho. Especially when you consider that she can special cancel from her 6K overhead.

Iroha first on that pool…

I know. But i think it won’t take away anything from other characters and add another playstyle for people who want it.
My opinion in regard of Samsho is not worth much. I just think that having 1/10 of the cast that can actually do something combo related is good. I do not mean that it must be much, more like:

  • Iroha have kazeguruma that allows her to do combos if she cancel from good\full normals. And in rage mode she can combo bit more after it (kazeguru won’t knock up 1st time used in combo).
  • Kazuki can get orbs to combo, he need to use 2 orbs to combo midscreen and 1 in corner.
  • Taizan could leave the paint on opponent; if opponent is hit with specials while covered in pain Taizan can combo after that (Taizan will never happen I know).

I think combos with 3-5 moves won’t ruin samsho.

There are already combos in the game and characters that regularly have to do combos. No need to change characters up already.

Figures. Outside of thinking the whole waifu culture thing is fuckin weird, it sucks that companies actually listen to folks who want their fap material to take up spaces from more deserving characters. Thankfully Basara and Shizu round out the list, but I imagine Iroha will be along at some point. I thought Shiki was there for the fappers anyway?

SamSho account having fun.

Their Twitter is fire.

Mina is fun since she’s a low/mid tier character who can gatekeep. If you’re bad at walk up and block, you lose.

Iroha can be interesting with her double jumps and the fact that she has a far reaching overhead command normal that’s special cancelable on block, without recoil. On top of an easy command grab super, she has things on paper that seem to break the rules of SamSho. In fact she was considered top tier in Tenka, however that was a lower damage game that let people get away with a lot (Mina was top tier as well, partly thanks to this).

You gonna demonize SNK for listening to it’s fans?

Better to please the waifu fans than the perennial nostalgic geezers. At least the waifu players will actually pay for their character and some actually get good at playing them, especially when those are highly technical; the nostalgic players won’t actually bother pay, let alone play the obsolete and badly aged trash they demand for since all they want is to look at their full character screen.

They can add whoever they want at this point. Got all my favs in there already. Hanzo, yoshitora, haohmaru, genjuro, ukyo, and now that darli chick. I’m set
