(PS4 60fps) SSVI #9 - character tryouts, round 2!
2I hadn't realized it, but in starting to play Samurai Shodown VI's arcade mode (the PS4 conversion of the PS2 version, running its Arrange soundtrack) with a narrowed-down set of characters, I was actually still doing character tryouts--just in a second round! 'Cause it turns out characters I found interesting or amusing the first time around may not actually be characters I can actually play. : P So here's how the second pass on a random six of those initially selected characters went:
1:39 - Sugoroku
I liked him the first time around because he was so goofy with his big bell, but eh yeah he's goofy. : P
9:50 - Galford
I don't usually like ninja characters or characters with secondary characters--or characters with electric moves, for that matter--so I was surprised at how playable I found Galford the first time around. And he's still okay, just not quite my favorite type of character.
25:40 - Zankuro
I love how huge and bad-ass looking Zankuro's sprite is, and how big his swings are. But I feel like my opponents are getting through huge gaps in those swings. : o And I'm missing a strong air-to-ground slash.
38:13 - Earthquake
Fun character in a semi-goofy giant way, but I find myself falling back on his jumping sickle throw thing way too much; it just seems way better than pretty much every other option of his that I know how to use--and if it stops working I get smoked. : o
47:20 - Ukyo
I never "got" Ukyo and his delay/deception style in earlier SamSho games, so I was surprised I did okay with him the first time in VI--but now I'm seeing the things I've never been able to grok.
51:10 - Yumeji
She seems to be from the same school as Ukyo or something, but she also seems to be set up as kind of his polar opposite in approach, feeling much more straightforward--and so far I can't get enough of her! = D So of the six I tried here in this first part of the second pass, Yumeji passes. : ) (Ah, apparently Yumeji's gender has been left an open question; for whatever reason I get a female vibe from them so I'll probably just keep reverting to those pronouns for my own convenience.)
