It’s been a good weekend for Samurai Shodown<\/em> fans. First we got the trailer for lead character Haoahmaru’s guest appearance in Soulcalibur VI<\/em>, and now we get to see two more DLC characters heading to Samurai Shodown<\/em> itself, arriving this year as part of the fighter’s second season pass.<\/p> The next DLC character to join the battle will be the previously-revealed Mina Najikina, who will be made available in-game in February. Originally debuting in Samurai Shodown V<\/em>, Mina’s longbow skills and fast, nimble movement give the agile archer a huge advantage in ranged battle.<\/p> It was then revealed that Sogetsu Kazama will also be making his return to the Samurai Shodown<\/em> franchise. Debuting in Samurai Shodown IV,<\/em> Sogetsu is the calmer sibling of the Kazama kin, and has the ability to call upon water elements in battle, making him the very antithesis of his hot-headed brother Kazuki.<\/a><\/p> Finally, we got to glimpse the third DLC character, Iroha, from Samurai Shodown VI<\/em>. Iroha is a Japanese maid, able to slice an opponent to ribbons with her curved butterfly swords. Openly designed as a highly-sexualised fanservice character, (even playing subservient to the player themselves), Iroha is unsurprisingly popular, and has guest starred in other franchises, such as Queen’s Blade.<\/p>
