andrew is one of the worst characters in ss imo, hes one of the ones that needs to go asap. basically ss2 cast mixed with ss4 cast, asura and shiki, mina without weird ass lil doll. i wouldnt mind seeing some of the good designs in the failed games either, like the dude from the psx version of wariors rage, the blond one with the special sword. theres more cool designs in that, also some of the designs in sss where good as well (spear chick etc). and i forgot 7 sword dude made by kenshin creator (from ss5).
2 anime/manga characters would be nice as well, manji from blood of the immortal and tessai from ninja scroll would fit perfectly in the SS world imo.
also new characters that dont suck (im looking at you andrew).
problem is that this doesnt seem realistic, new HD 2d SS would be the the hottest shit ever, especially if they dont fuck it up in the gameplay department (shit i would have made better games than the last batch of ss games from snkp). the costs would be skyhigh to make it look that good and be in 2d, which is a shame. i dont understand why they dont just make the animations themselves, and all the animations in between outsourced to some cheap korean or chinese company? if they make the most important animation in say a fb or dp, they make 3 or 4. have a cheap team do the animations in between that look a lot like the aniations before them and let them add 4 or 5 more, problem solved and the art wont suffer.
edit: me and my lil bros had an idea for snk since mid 90's or even early 90's that would have made snk square and nintendo money. and it still could do that today, and i wonder why they themselves never thought about it?
snk sports game, featuring characters from their most famous series and every characters having multiple specials in every sport in the game. characters like terry and yamazaki, fio and pulstar chick. lots of sports in arcade style, basketball, beach volleybal, tennis and what not. have terry do a real powerdunk and its all good imo. this is a guaranteed win (makes them $$) and not too costly either. let alone mad fun if handled right, add the fact that theyd make all their forgotten characters popular again to a newer generation. it should be super deformed as well.
