Yuck. A great character design for a new series. Terrible for SS. All the classic characters, even including SS5, are archetypal. But this is a completely different aesthetic.For those of you who did not watch the panel, here is Darli Dagger:
Charlotte. Samurai Shodown 1, 1993.
Oh man that was brutal. If I even had a card or badge, now would be my time to turn it in.
The only thing I can say in my defense is that I rarely chose her. time for seppuku

remember Caffeine Nicotine? normally an old scrawny geezer would be useless in a fight but he proved the tropes wrong.
and the new blade wielder looks cool and interesting, DEFINITELY better designed and more mature than Shizumaru.
Darli is not another pirate! she's a ship builder!
For the DLC they have announced there will be 4 characters releasing 2 months apart from each other (August - October - December - February).
There is hinting about Soul Calibur collaboration too (meh).
