Play Samsho, tell combos they can eat your Hanzo Hattori steel. Or like a hawk you told to attack it. Attack the combos.

I got my Panthera Evo! It's very sticky. Also the design it comes with is hideous, so I need to make a new one. Now taking good comedy suggestions for new art. Also, what's a good place to send to have the printout made and cut for holes? I will never be able to do a good job of that myself.

I'll just keep practicing til I git gud


But I'll also check out Samurai Showdown, too, cuz I'm interested in seeing what's out there in general!


I also just played SG and Painwheel had a bunch of valley girl voice lines??? I'm not sure what happened but it was real funny (EDIT Oh, I see, some characters have alternate voice packs if you hit up or down during character selection)


EDIT: Looking at Samurai Showdown and something I've noticed about a lot of Japanese fighting games (Street Fighter, Tekken), the character designs don't do much for me. They're cool, but in my perusing fighting games I find there are few characters that make me go "holy poo poo that dude/girl/thing looks real fuckin' cool" in Street Fighter, Tekken, and Samurai Showdown. There's no Painwheel, D'Vorah, or Noob Saibot

Soul Calibur has Voldo though


EDIT EDIT: That reminds me I wish they would do a new Bushido Blade. I only played it like four times ever but it was really cool how it was mostly about avoiding and blocking attacks and most hits were an instakill. It was a really interesting concept

street fighter and tekken just kinda have bland martial art dude designs for the most part and samsho is goign for a kind of restrained aesthetic. like the earlier samurai shodown games barely even had music, they aren't meant to be super over the top. more 'anime' games usually have 1-3 slots taken up by weird poo poo like





plus more interesting designs for the more normal characters



obvs. sometimes it does or doesnt work and where that line is is different depending on who you are but its usually more interesting than 'dude in gi' anyway

SNK deliberately keeps Samsho pretty restrained for the most part, but the later more anime games do have some wacky bullshit characters that probably won't ever come back.

Yashamaru was them trying to make a Samsho character with the same stylish traits as a KOF character, for whatever that's worth.

So after watching some videos I take back what I said about Samsho, it has a pirate with a razor-axe thing and a confused-looking Taoist priest who can apparently accidentally summon a dragon to murder her opponent.

Darli is the closest we'll get to a Bloodborne Hunter in a traditional-style fighting game.

A lot of the older games were just being designer around stereotypes of the times to show things like "This guys a ninja! This guys a boxer!" I expect the same with Tekken as a 3d demo, and I wouldn't be surprised if the entire reason for Paul's appearance was someone loving with the models and saying "look what I can do to this guys hair".

I just wouldn't be surprised if it was a little of both, maybe not though. Regardless sometimes characters are just tech demos, especially with Street fighter. The two that pop up in my head would be Gill who's whole design is based around not flipping sprites and I won't buy any story for Necalli other than showing off their physics engine.

I mean, technically he's flipping sprites, he's just also swapping palettes, which is the actual feature they're showing off (and would again with what's-her-name from Warzard).

Right, sorry, Fuckerman is a repurposed Sagat model since Tekken X Street Fighter is dead. I bet the glowing veins thing is a leftover from the Tiger upgrade move Sagat has. I was going to say Ganryu probably uses leftover stuff from an E Honda model but he was in 6 so that model is probably recent enough to be what they'd use as a base.
