With Sekiro out this and Bloodstained are the games I'm most looking forward to playing this year. Also very happy to see Shiki officially confirmed. Had a blast with her in SVC. The hype is on!

Yes! Samurai Shodown is back!!! I agree that the characters look really good. Hearing the SS1 character select theme was really cool. The black-ink style graphics and effects a la Street Fighter 5 style very much does fit Samurai Shodown. It is virtually eye candy. The monochrome + red effect during a super move is nice, as well as the gold theme effect for what looks like the final KO move. I could be wrong there. Hearing Genjuro's voice during his portrait-slicing-sequence attack reminds me so much of Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. Good job SNK!!!!

dude Shiki was my money maker in NGBC (many tournaments, and I have an FAQ up for her on GameFAQs from back in the day lol). If she's anything like that game, I'm set. I didn't play Samurai 64.
Otherwise I usually play Charlotte, and she looks amazing. Seems like they almost nailed an Xrd 2.5 look.

Looks good. If there is blood I usually get pleased in such games.
PC? GOG?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when they announced a new Samurai Showdown was in the works (teased?) they didn't say it was coming to the switch, did they?
Because I didn't know it was coming to the switch until today and now my wallet hurts.

Considering how popular she is, to the point of even having some products based around her entirely, I'm kind of surprised that Iroha isn't here. Might be DLC, I could see her moving DLC sales.
Also, there's supposedly no word on suicide or fatality mechanics yet.

purifyweirdshard Her moves are pretty much the same in both NGBC and SVC but they did change the inputs for her specials so I struggled playing as her in NGBC. Very fun and interesting character all around. Never played the NG64 games either so she was the character I was interested in most when SVC was released. Scuttlest Iroha as DLC is very likely, same goes for Mina in my opinion. Who knows maybe they'll put a sword in Mai Shiranui's hands and put her in too

If it might be relevant, a fighting game Youtuber I'm subscribed to, Maximillion Dood (been subbed to him since his MvC3 Assist Me! days) had 19 minutes of gameplay with the devs themselves. Here's the video. Also, PAX confirmed character packs as DLC. To pick a more 'out there' character I'd like to see, I'd be interesting to see Ocha-maro come back. One of the crazier fighting game character concepts I've seen.

Max is great. I'm really glad to see him excited for the game, and somewhat surprised, since it's not his usual preference of a fast/mobile and combo-heavy game. He did grow up playing 1-2 with fond memories of it, though, and this game will be very much like those. Hope he sticks with it, or at least continues with a few more videos (as that does wonders for visibility, he has a pretty big following, and well-deserved).
Heh, of the 6-only characters, I'd say Iroha is of course the most likely and then perhaps Andrew, and going beyond that maybe truly out there stuff like Ochamaro. Fighting game casts do generally include a couple of truly unexpected and odd cast members.
The folks I want to see that aren't in yet (all I really wanted was Shiki and Charlotte) would be Sieger, Yumeji's 6 version and Mina. There's a bit of SS1 representation that isn't there yet which I kind of expect too, most notably the classic oddball himself Gen-an.

Nakoruru forever! She's been my favorite female fighting character since the Neo Geo days (yes, I'm showing my age ). I remember her in Capcom vs SNK where her super move was especially unique in that she would heal a large portion of her health rather than have the usual offensive special attack common to every other fighter ever made. It suited her personality to a tee. I also liked her having animal companions which was very original for its time.

Now that you mention Gen-an, I am totally expecting him to be in the roster at some point. Makes too much sense to have him with his forward rolling slash attack there. I had fun with the character in 2-player matches.

The best thing I recall about Gen-an was that his claw actually makes a metallic sound during battle, it was a nice little touch. That, and he's possibly Mai Shiranui's ancestor. (lol)
Anyway, I mentioned Ocha-maro due to my love of 'kookier' designs in fighting games. But Iroha is honestly my favorite character in the franchise. Literally got that shooting game (Neo Geo Heroes Ultimate Shooting I believe it was called, too bad the Vita irksomely pixelates PSP games) just because she was in the roster. She's probably a safe bet for a DLC pack.
Maybe a SS6 DLC character pack? Andrew, Iroha, Ocha-Maro, and maybe one or two other SS6 debuting characters?
