SNK has dropped the next in their current run of character trailers, introducing us to the roster of their upcoming Samurai Shodown. This week, the series sees the return of a veteran roster member, stoic swordsman and begrudging “ladies’ man” Ukyo Tachibana.
Making his debut in the original Samurai Shodown release, Ukyo is a moody but focused pretty boy who rocks that classic samurai style of keeping his sword sheathed, before dealing out lightning fast, perfectly timed slashes. Blending brutal violence with a calming demeanor, Ukyo recalls a million and one similar characters made famous in Japanese movies and anime.
