SNK has revealed its latest fighter on the way to the 2019/20 Nintendo Switch release, Samurai Shodown.
Fans already knew the fourth and final slot in Season Pass 3 would be filled by a character from the Guilty Gear series and SNK has now confirmed it will go to Baiken. This fighter is scheduled to arrive later this week on 19th August.
Here's a bit about the character and some screenshots:
From faraway lands travels this vengeful warrior. Along with her left eye and right arm, Baiken had lost everything when she was only a child. Now, shaped by that harrowing experience, she dedicates her life in tracking down the one responsible for everything—That Man. No land is too far, and no warrior is strong enough to stand in her way. With an unwavering blade and peerless sight, Baiken swears to track and cut down That Man.
Baiken from Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 joins Shiro Tokisada Amakusa, Hibiki Takane from The Last Blade 2 and Cham Cham.

About time Baiken came back honestly. She's a pretty freaking big name character as far as SamSho goes
EDIT: Holy crap I had a MASSIVE brain fart moment and accidentally mashed GG Strive and SamSho together lmao. Honestly it's really cool she's here but why the hell isn't she in GG yet?
I would had prefer Chipp or Sol but Baiken is okay. Hopefully she made it to -Strive- someday.
Okay SNK, now I'm interested in Samurai Shodown.
It's kind of weird to see a GG character in something that isn't cel-shaded.
@BrazillianCara I'd say new SamSho has a sort of cel-shaded look to it given the emphasis on Japanese caligraphy and water color in the art direction. It's very SF IV-ish
This was always the expected pick, but it’s still cool. A pretty great season.
@Specter_of-the_OLED Baiken is not my favorite GG character, but she probably fits the SamSho universe better than anyone else from that game.
❗No Genan?
N🚫 buy.
hmm how is the online going in this samurai shodown?
i would buy it but i fear that there aren‘t enough people playing the game online… i am in europe so…
what you say?
Great choice!
I love Baiken
I really loathe this season pass model in fighting games. Sure, partially made to refresh the game, but I always have the feeling that the starting roster suffers greatly from it.
Kusaregedo or bust
Don't support SNK games
@jruasap Why? It's not like they're terrible offline.
@Specter_of-the_OLED they're partially owned by the prince of Saudi Arabia and I believe he's trying to purchase more shares to be the majority owner.
