I tried googling "Iroha". Several of the top listed sites found were about a brand of vibrators. Whoops.

ANDREW (Andrew... Jackson?)
First Appearance:
Samurai Shodown VI (2004)
Game Appearances: Samurai Shodown VI
Home Country: U.S.A.
Weapon: Musket
Role: Beautiful Young President
PL 9 (149)
STRENGTH
3 STAMINA 3 AGILITY 5

Expertise (Politics) 9 (+13)
Insight 5 (+8)
Intimidation 2 (+6)
Perception 4 (+7)
Persuasion 4 (+8)
Ranged Combat (Musket) 8 (+12)

Advantages:
Benefit 3 (President of the U.S.A.), Equipment 2 (Numerous Swords), Evasion, Improved Critical (Guard Destroyer), Improved Critical (Mighty Slash), Improved Critical (Uppercut), Improved Initiative, Move-By Action, Ranged Attack 2

Samurai Shodown Fighting Style: Accurate Attack (Light Attack), All-Out Attack, Defensive Roll, Extraordinary Effort (Super Move), Fast Grab (Grab), Improved Critical (Chosen Weapon), Improved Defense, Improved Disarm, Improved Hold, Improved Trip (Throw), Power Attack (Heavy Attack), Withstand Damage (Block)

Powers:
"Shodown Fighter" Features 1: Adds Weapon Damage to Special Moves [1]

"Special Moves" (All Have Flaws: Requires Signature Weapon)
"Grand Cannon" Blast 6 (Extras: Multiattack) (Reduced Defenses -2, Inaccurate -1) (7) -- [9]

Complications:
Responsibility (Future President)- Andrew is destined to become President of the United States.
Weakness (Predictability)- Andrew cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect the attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack). The third time he tries the same technique (or same combo of techniques) in a short span, he will be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to his Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is done.

Total: Abilities: 72 / Skills: 52--26 / Advantages: 13 + 12 / Powers: 10 / Defenses: 16 (149)

-Yes, Andrew is really supposed to be ANDREW JACKSON, President of the United States. The beautiful, long-haired, pretty-boy President of the United States. He befriends Yoshitora as a new "Rival" character, and visits Japan to seek out potential threats to his country. His look is unique (but feels more British with those epaulets and tiny glasses), and I REALLY like him using a bayonet instead of a sword- dishonorable (naturally, the gun acts more like video game Fireballs), but stylish.

-Andrew is a PL 9 fighter with good ranged options- having a MUSKET means you need to make a few modifications- he's one of the few characters whose Blasts come right from Equipment and anyone could do them, but I used some modifications. The "Grand Cannon"

-Earthquake is your everyday 500 lb. American ninja highwayman, looking like a lavender extra from Road Warrior. He trained with the same master as Galford, but bailed early and taught himself the rest. He used Amakusa's attack on Earth as a cover to steal as much as he could, but disappeared into the Makai World in the second game- despite the next three being prequels, he missed every one of them, only showing up again for SS VI. Until 2019's remake, he had only appeared in the prequel sixth game since then... and oddly in SNK's version of the Versus series as well. The seventh game in the series oddly brought him back, too. Earthquake is also notable for being absent from the Sega Genesis version of the game- his sprite was just too big to fit into their system's memory.

-Earthquake is positively TITANIC, and was definitely the largest sprite seen in a Fighting Game until that point. An absolute beast of a man, he does as much damage unarmed as most guys do with their SWORDS, but has a low-grade enough weapon (a small-ish Kusarigama with a weighted other end) that he doesn't do any more damage than Haohmaru or Genjuro, with their lethal blades. Earthquake is by far the most dangerous Shodown fighter in a grapple, and has a nasty Multiattack- one of the more high-tier examples of that in the Fighting Game-themed builds I've done.

-When I was a kid, I thought Sieger was SO COOL- this gigantic, muscular dude carrying an enormous gauntlet as a weapon. It was a bit outlandish for a series more focused on real-looking weapons, but hey- I was impressed by how bad-ass it looked.

-Sieger's stage is hilariously German- this stoic, severe, militaristic stage full of stalk-still knights in red armor. He's the leader of the Red Lion Knights, and is there to hunt down Mizuki. In his ending, he marries a woman named Elizabeth, but in a Shodown-themed RPG, he marries QUEEN VICTORIA, making him, quite hilariously, Prince Albert (who was, of course, German). His name means "Non-Stop Winner" in German.

-Despite looking cool, Sieger missed the rest of the series, until the sixth one brought him back. Thus, I made him a PL 8 Powerhouse with a good Deflect and an Area Damage attack.

Thanks!

Oh yeah. I’ve been planning on doing Shodown builds since 3rd edition freaking came out! But every time I made a list of names for a potential posting order, the sheer size of the roster (more than thirty guys) would stall me out, and I’d put it on the back burner again. It’s not as popular as MK or SF, making the prospect of spending two weeks on the series a questionable proposition- I had to REALLY be in the mood to get it to work.

Sieger is pretty badass, so it's a shame he skipped out on most of the other games. "Baaaaaaah!" I imagine he's not fully armored because despite his great strength, having both the giant gauntlet and full plate armor might be too much. Also, while he doesn't appear in Sen, another member of the Red Lion Knights does, named Walter: (but sadly, his design is a lot more generic, since he's just a standard fully armored knight with a broadsword, though I suppose it's not too bad since no other character in the series looks like that) Image

In other Fighting Game news. Simon Belmont (and Richter Belmont) and King K. Rool were announced for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. And it was awesome.

Total: Abilities: 86 / Skills: 44--22 / Advantages: 13 + 12 / Powers: 22 / Defenses: 16 (191)

-Distinctive Final Boss of the first game, Amakusa (based off of an Amakusa Shiro who staged a revolt of Roman Catholics against the Shogunate, but was executed when a rebel soldier gave information to the Shogun's army) is ornate, feminine and magical- a huge contrast to the burly macho men of other games. Amakusa is a Christian warlord who was put to death, and allowed his hatred against the world to turn him to the Demon Ambrosia. He reawakens 150 years later in the body of Shinzo Hattori, and sends Japan into chaos. He is finally slain by Haohmaru.

-Much like other Final Bosses, Amakusa left a lasting impression, and returned in later games. Split into good and evil halves by his death, the good half hunts the evil one in Samurai Shodown III. However, he is saved by Kazuki, who slays the evil half. His soul is destroyed saving the lives of the heroes from Mizuki.

Total: Abilities: 92 / Skills: 50–25 / Advantages: 21 + 12 / Powers: 20 / Defenses: 18 (188)

-Mizuki is the distinctive, interesting boss of Samurai Shodown II, and is empowered by the same Demon who forged Amakusa’s might in the first game. A creepy woman with long fingernails and an echoing voice, Mizuki is INTENSELY disturbing, and fits this universe perfectly with her style- traditional clothing, but an inhuman nature that makes her off-putting and utterly unique. Mizuki was an infant who was thrown into the sea by her family during a famine throughout Japan- dying with intense, confusing fear, she made a pact with the demon Ambrosia, and was "reborn" with mystical abilities. Adopted by a village after washing ashore, she develops magical powers, and begins to despise humanity. Changing forms numerous times, she takes over a priestess named Bizuki after defeating her, but several monks (and living puppets) manage to seal her away- she awakens at the beginning of the second game (actually the sixth, chronologically). She makes Earthquake, Gen-An & Genjuro her minions, but the latter leaves due to a lack of interest, and she's slain by Haohmaru & Nakoruru.

-Mizuki is infamously cheap, like all SNK Bosses, and can completely annihilate even skilled players. She's a powerful PL 12, sporting numerous devastating attacks, including a portal that slides along the ground, grasping the unfortunate victim, then hits them with lightning and dumps them from the top of the screen.

Powers:
"Shodown Fighter" Features 1: Adds Weapon Damage to Special Moves [1]

"Special Moves" (All Have Flaws: Requires Signature Weapon)

Initiative +9

Defenses:
Dodge +12 (DC 22), Parry +12 (+14 Banishing Flame, DC 22-24), Toughness +3 (+4 D.Roll), Fortitude +5, Will +6

Complications:
Relationship (Hazuki- Sister)- Kazuki breaks the law of his ninja clan by going to rescue his sister.
Flaw Explanation (Fireballs)- Kazuki may create a single "Fireball" as a Free Action each round, up to a total of three. Moves with the Flaw "Source- Fireballs" require Fireballs to do higher than normal damage. This means that he cannot use all of his Special Moves at maximum power, one after the other- he must spread them out between other moves.
Weakness (Predictability)- Kazuki cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect the attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack). The third time he tries the same technique (or same combo of techniques) in a short span, he will be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to his Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is done.

Total: Abilities: 54 / Skills: 46--23 / Advantages: 10 + 12 / Powers: 7 / Defenses: 15 (121)

-Kazuki has a pretty simple design, and "Super Saiyan" hair, fitting a fiery "Red Oni" concept as a counterpart to his sibling Sogetsu, who represents the icy "Blue Oni". He surprisingly appeared in the 2019 update of Samurai Shodown as well.

-Kazuki has a very unique attack pattern, which basically lets out weaker attacks that get stronger the more "Fireballs" you have surrounding you. You have to create some Fireballs as separate moves, building them up from one to three- having three fireballs while you execute a Flaming Ball or the Fire Grab will make it hurt more. Otherwise, you operate on a lower level. This is tricky to reflect in M&M terms, so I made it a Flaw that he has to build them up as Free Actions each round- meaning it takes three rounds of OTHER stuff to build up his attacks to their most powerful, and then he has to start over.

Complications:
Responsibility (The Clan)- Sogetsu is charged with killing the "renegade" who left their clan- his own brother, Kazuki.
Relationship (Hazuki & Kazuki- Siblings)
Weakness (Predictability)- Sogetsu cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect the attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack). The third time he tries the same technique (or same combo of techniques) in a short span, he will be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to his Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is done.

Total: Abilities: 54 / Skills: 46--23 / Advantages: 10 + 12 / Powers: 8 / Defenses: 18 (125)

-Sogetsu represents the icy "Blue Oni", contrasting Kazuki- he coldly goes after his own brother for leaving the clan. He fights in a more typical style, but has that rare kind of Teleport move you don't see in a lot of regular fighters in Samurai Shodown. There's a grapple, a Blast, and even a rare AFFLICTION, which has the primary feature of screwing up people's movements, leaving them more vulnerable to attack. Potentially a lethal move in a Fighting Game-based world, where everyone's a bit less durable.

You know my main problem with Sogetsu story-wise(he's pretty good as a playable character)?He's a Total jerk just because.I got no problem with BOSSES being asshat's,that's part of their job after all(like Zangief said in Reck-it Wralph: Just because your the Bad Guy doesn't mean your a bad GUY),but to not even care that your hunting down your own SIBLINGS to kill them?That takes a special kind of Douchbaggery....
