My feelings were kind of mixed on Ayame, Cause she didn't have her own team with her she didn't have much to do other than sort of obsess over Kat but she was okay, And yeah when her team is with her and/or It's in a more serious setting ( SK7 ) I could see her being good. I was more focused on Yuyaki and Souji out of the new characters though. ( I liked Souji's rivalry with Homura )
Shiki though I already liked from EV and I feel like she got a lot added to her in PBS so that was cool.
Yeah she was the new girl, so she was kinda just "there". But she'll probably show a more relevant side to her
Souji has become one of my favs as well. I love her narcissistic attitude, she's is her own #1 fan lol
Yuyaki is a character I'll have high interest in and seems like she'll stand out from Asuka's upbeat demeanor and Yumi's cool demeanor. She comes off as timid, but could also snap and become dangerous
Leo is interesting too, I could definitely see her being more popular. I feel like her rivalry with Yuyaki will be really intense
I'm interested in seeing how Shiki's goal to become an International shinobi will be like. That's where I think the Maisen girls would come in. Shiki could be introduced to them and could get to learn new cultures from them (Russian, Spanish, American, Native American, & Chinese)

Btw I think 7even will be more strategy based as said by the info for the game about having new movesets and. being more team/skill based, as oppose to the Versus series where you mostly fought a hoard of enemies
I think PBS is a good test for that since it has 5 girls going against 5 other girls. Plus the grunts/enemies aren't are crowded in PBS as they are in SV/EV
