Street Samurai. We know 'em, we love 'em, they've been with us since day one (with 0.1 Essence!), and they're with us even today. But I'm curious to see how y'all define 'em. Obviously, the default answer to every question that'll follow in here is "It depends", or "Well, THIS character is X while THAT one is Y..." but I'm hoping that you guys can nail it down a bit, grit your teeth, and give a definitive answer. Rather than slap all the questions in here at once, I was hoping for more organic flow,as some answers might generate more questions. So, I'd like to start with an easy-hard one. 1) What single weapon best defines the Street Samurai archetype in your mind. a) Raw physical striking (punching, headbut, etc) b) Retractable cyber-melee weapon c) The Katana d) Smartpistol (Ares Predator and friends) e) Smartsmg (Ingram and friends) f) Assault Rifles g) Big Guns e) Other (Fill in the blank, please!) If you want to give a bit more detail on why you chose one answer over another, I'd be much obliged. |
