A rose by any other name
SNK has released the next character trailer for the exciting-looking fighting game Samurai Showdown. Following recent trailers for modern roster additions such as Shiki and newcomer Darli Dagger, this week we go back to the old school, w🃏ith the First Lady of the series, Charlotte.
Charlotte Christine de Colde (to give her full name) is a French aristocrat and swordswoman, who made her debut in the original Samurai Shodown back in 1993. Despite her fancy heritage, Charlotte is a down-to-earth type who can more often than be found in the company of those perhaps deemed “lesser” than her opulent social status.
Adorned in exquisitely detailed armour, Charlotte is a fencing master, poking at her opponents from deceptive ranges before following up with a flurry of graceful – but artery-tearing – slash attacks. Maintaining her poise and dignity throughout battle, only a fool would see Charlotte as anything other than the deadliest of opponents.
Samurai Shodown launches in Japan on June 27 for PS4 and Xbox 🌊One. PC and Nintendo Switch ports will follow this Winter. An arcade release is also i෴n the works.
