Frame by Frame analysis of the trailer

The things that caught my eye were two:

Chample has a cartoony X made of band-aids in his forehead now

Iroha's Super Special Move seems to be a grab, that if you remember, is how her infamous Super move in VI started.

Looking it up, the poll ran as such:

  • 20: ochamaru
  • 19: mizuki
  • 18: zankuro
  • 17: kazuki
  • 16: yumeji
  • 15: enja
  • 13: wan-fu
  • 13: yoshino
  • 12: rera
  • 11: amakusa
  • 10: kusaregedo
  • 09: gen an
  • 08: sieger
  • 07: suzuhime
  • 06: rimururu
  • 05: basara
  • 04: chamcham
  • 03: shizumaru
  • 02: iroha
  • 01: mina

My preference, Amakusa, landed right in the middle.

Damn, I should've known that Zankuro would be that low.

Gen an would be pretty cool TBH.

[up][up],[up][up][up] Note: That's the Top 20 out of 69 characters in the poll, so Zankuro and especially Amakusa have a pretty decent ranking.

Oh, that's a major relief. There's still so much I don't know about Samsho.

BTW, thanks for the link.

At 00:16:12 KK (SNK's community manager for the english-speaking community) says he was 100% responsible of getting Iroha in the game, Oda didn't want to, but KK convinced him it was what the community wanted.

Are they ok with showing Iroha getting maimed and cut to pieces?

I mean, I assume that's why she first debuted in a fun non canon festival game with no blood.

Now they gotta treat her like everyone else, or remove the blood for her.

I'm ok with her being there, but I'm still surprised.

Well, I'm not saying I want that to happen, but while this series ain't Mortal Kombat, guys do get wrecked in this.

Putting in the crane Waifu means she's not an exception to that, and that's never been a thing.

Again, it's why I assumed she'd never be in any other game seriously until they proved me wrong here.

I mean, they've let children and all flavors of waifus get maimed and split in half in previous games. I don't see why Iroha should be an exception.

....that's a good point.

Alright. Then this conversation is over.

And that's probably for the best.

I thought it was because Samsho got rebooted?

Or you know, they retcon it.

So... anyone else get the feeling that Mina actually has an Evil Eye under that eyepatch of hers?

Between "plagued by an intense darkness growing within her", the lack of mention of losing an eye in her new profile, and the part in the trailer where Mina reaches for her covered eye in pain, I'm half expecting a reveal that she's keeping Chample sealed after failing to kill him and it's affecting her body as a result.

Yea probably.

Well exactly twist if she didn't have an evil eye.

In the newest stream with KK, Kuroki revealed that the first thing he did when designing Mina was putting an eyepatch on her because he thought it would look cool. Then, the team decided to completely overhaul her gameplay based on that new addition.

That's surprising, I would've thought gameplay designs came first and designs were based on that.
