    To paraphrase a post from another forum, "Maybe they needed to balance the girl covered in armor, so they added more hos".

    They should just go ahead an add in some characters from Cho Aniki to balance it out.

    They need to add more "Holee shit BOUGHT!" guest characters like the Star Wars ones were for a lot of people. For me, that would be Haohmaru from Sam Shodown.

    The same source also stated that the designer was the manga artist who did Gantz.

    Renaming the thread.

    I think it fits, what about you guys?

    Though this design's not as bad it just needs to be somewhere else.

    I don't know. I just can't see anyway to balance gameplay introducing muscle bound men that shoot shit out of holes in their head.

    Of course this is Namco and SC we're talking about, they forgot what balance was 2 games ago.

    Uhh...Mitsurugi.


    As for Shura, her design and name seems to be very much similar to Shura Shiki from Samurai Shodown.

    I'm assuming that you're referring to the big flouncy tits all over the place, and not the shoehorned-in fanboy-pleasing manga/Star Wars nonsense. Because if it's the latter, then Spawn, Link, Necrid and Tekken Diaper Man disagree.

    Yeah, I meant the T+A. The shoehorned in characters is another matter to me, albeit also pandering, and I don't mind it as much. Couldn't we have a SC4 where the girls wear actual clothes?

    I am still completely sold on this game despite the rampant T&A (not that I mind).

    The next guest character needs to be a male, right now it's 3-0 in favor of the XX Chromosomes for guests.

    Or hell add a new main male character, there has to be some obscure middle age weapon that no one uses yet.

    Amy is the girl that took Raphael in. She is also assumed to be a vampire like him.
