Are you talking about Shiki? because thats Shiki. And this is applicable for any new character too. I do not think that making any new characters only after SSV and SS2 cast is a good idea.
Also I fap to Amakusa and now you can’t play this “low hanginging fruit, fapers gonna fap” card because now same goes for your character.

I think Shiki being in SvC Chaos and NeoGeo Coliseum alleviates that issue and Darli will get a lot of play. I say this as someone that has no intention of playing either.

I’m talking about Iroha, again a character from a general no one played. You don’t fap to Amakusa and even if you did, it’s not like tons of people are clamoring for him to be in the game like they are Iroha. And at least he’s an important character from the series. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Who played the 64 games? Who has even heard of them? At least fans know of the game Iroha is from.

I’ll be honest, I don’t really care about Shiki either but she’s popular because she was in NGBC.

Shiki was in SvC as well. I’d say she was popular enough even coming from 64.

I think it’s such small difference. She literally was in 2 “not very popular” games. Just ask any “not hardcore” fan about those games and you’ll get a blank stare. Also she got into those games supposedly for the same reason as Iroha got in SSVII. Does making wrong thing several times suddenly makes it right?

i think i hate ChamCham because she replaced TamTam in SS2. they replaced a cool character with a pedo weeb animu furry character who is straight up annoying to play against. she’s so out of place in that game.
if they replaced him with a tough looking female character that actually looks like TamTam’s sister, no problem. but no, it had to be a cat girl.
sorry ChamCham fans for my hate.

That’s funny, because I played TamTam in 1 and ChamCham in 2.
I really loved that Cham could access Tam’s specials through the monkey. Think it was a really fantastic job of incorporating story narrative in character design.

Do you have a source for Shiki getting “into those games supposedly for the same reason as Iroha got in SSVII?”
Either way, if that poll is any indication, she’ll get in despite the fact that she’s only an interesting character because of how she looks and most of the other new characters in SS6 were infinitely more interesting than she was.
If we’re going for SS6 characters, why not Ocha-Maru who imo, is the best of the new characters from that game or Andrew, who uses a weapon that no other character has used?
Do you have a source to prove same thing now happens with Iroha? We both assuming things here, lets not quarrel about details.
Fair enough. I just would like characters to get in the game because they have cool playstyles and round out the cast rwther than because they’re titty monsters. Tbh the cast of this game is pretty pedestrian right now, at least until we get to see what the new characters can do more fully. So I’m hoping they’re going to bring back some of the weirder characters from past games.
Iroha can cancel her overhead into stuff and do alot of air specials from the ground (walljumps, parry, throw super). Why this is not a cool playstyle?

They’re things existing characters already do. Haohmaru and Enja can combo from overheads, and Bust Sogetsu/Suija can do air specials on the ground as can Yoshitora via OH canceling. And I’d rather see the Kazama bros in the game myself. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think that since the ho is DLC you may not have to see that fan service dumpster fire.
I prefer Cham Cham over Tam Tam because I like wild humans and find Tam Tam’s posture and moveset awkward. First time I played the character I immediately thought the combination of Ayla (Chrono Trigger), Gau (Final Fantasy VI), and Feral Kid (Mad Max: Road Warrior) is awesome!

I always felt like Kazuki and Sogetsu didn’t fit in Samurai Shodown.
As for Edge of Destiny, its mistake was to feature a way too much international cast (I guess they tried to imitate SoulCalibur too much); SS should be almost entirely Japanese.
VI was too wacky and it came to new characters.
That said, I want a new World Heroes.
I’ll pay top dollar for Kazuki and Sogetsu. They are my favorites from IV.
lol that little kid in Mad Max IS CHAM CHAM!

SS1: 5/12 of playable characters was non japanese
SS2: 6/15 of playable characters was non japanese
SS3 ~ SS5: only 1~4 playable characters was non japanese (yeah huge nosedive)
I feel like SS should be about samurai’s and mythology. I loved aestetics of SSIV and addition of Kusaregedo. And having 1/3 non japanese characters is ok. EoD overdid it and was unappealing in general. I feel bummed out by distinct lack of characters from nordic ~ slavic ~ asian countries (except china). SS do not need much of such characters some archetypes could be cool (too bad SS is set in the late 17th century… but it did not stopped SNK from making Charlotte and Sieger).
How to create Gandara it is really cool.
