So I'm not sure if this thread is redundant due to the amount of SNK characters that are receiving threads at the current moment. But I saw that the Samurai Shodown character who seems to be billed as the franchise's main character hasn't received a thread of his own yet. Why am I, someone who isn't too much of an SNK fan, making this thread, you may be asking? Well, I dunno. Guess you could say I have a hunch. If there's already a thread for him, then... um... yeah.
So, who is Haohmaru?
Good question! He's one of the main characters of SNK's Samurai Shodown franchise. If not the main character.
How would he play?
He'd probably have a similar moveset to the one he has in Samurai Shodown. If he ends up playing similar to how fans imagine Takamaru playing in a Smash game, then... um... sorry, Takamaru fans...
Has Haohmaru been a guest character before?
During EVO, he was announced as a guest character for Soul Caliber VI. I'd say that's pretty noteworthy.
Wouldn't he be just another sword fighter?
Maybe... But I'd argue there's enough diversity in the roster already. Plus, the fifth DLC character could be anything.
But the new Samurai Shodown isn't even on the Switch!
It will be in December. Haohmaru would be a great way to advertise, too. Here's a link for confirmation: https://www.thegamer.com/samurai-shodown-switch-release-date/
I think that's all I have to say about Haohmaru. Personally, I think he'd be a fine addition. I'd love to see him clash against Ryu or Ken.
