Suija

Suija (水邪) is a character in Samurai Shodown V. He is based on Suija Sogetsu from Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage. Game developers for Samurai Shodown V wanted Suija to be the "dangerous guy who wants to be a god". He is voiced by Ikuji Nose.

Personality
A power-hungry demon who thinks of himself as a god.

Powers

 * Hydrokinesis - Suija has the power to control water.
 * Possession - Suija has the ability to possess any human.

Fighting Style
As his special attacks can only be performed while in the air, Suija is inclined to be played more defensively. His impenetrable water shield allows him to double jump or employ several delaying tactics versus his opponents. His ability to cancel into a strong slash, in addition to his sliding kick and high priority anti-air attacks make him an effective mid-ranged fighter.

His moveset is from Sogetsu's Bust or Rasetsu form, which is a highly projectile-based keepaway type of moves.
