Eight Soul Calibur characters who would be good fits for Samurai Shodown as guest fighters
We just received word that the final character of Samurai Shodown's second season of DLC will be arriving tomorrow and with a mysterious silhouette to go with it to fuel speculation. To be perfectly honest with you, this silhouette tells me absolutely nothing, and even when looking back at both my first and second speculation articles, the silhouette doesn't make me any wiser.
This brought me back to my very first analysis article regarding Samurai Shodown's upcoming DLC character where I mentioned that guest characters from other IPs can't be ruled out. SNK have been quite crossover keen lately, lending out many of their iconic characters to other fighting games, and given that we just recently saw Samurai Shodown's poster character Haohmaru join the roster of Soul Calibur 6, I thought it'd be fun to take a look at which Soul Calibur characters would be good fits for Samurai Shodown in case SNK wish to return the favor.
