Welp rip 3DS side scroller origins. They must have been really dissapointed how SK2 sold. So this is still Verses canon. For those confused

SK Burst > SV > Bon Apetite > EV > and now this.

Is there a story reason for why SK Burst split into two storyline's or was it mainly so they could have 3DS and PS game's in different worlds?

Apparently the creator of SK twitted this.

"With the new title announced, here is it's place in the story. The 3DS game Burst branches into two paths of storyline 1 (Senran Kagura 2) and storyline 2 (Shinovi Versus). Storyline 1 (Senran Kagura 2) is complete, Storyline 2 continues into Estival Versus, which is followed by the latest installment of Peach Beach Splash"

So the 3DS storyline is finished and this new game is in the Estival Versus storyline.

I'm glad. SK2 made no sense they introduced all these new girls in SV and then took them away.

There was no point returning back to the 3DS. SK2 utilized nintendoware as much as possible (and I bet it cost Marv a decent amount to develop it) but it's clearly not as profitable as the Sony route. Granted they did introduce some nice gameplay mechanics (the tag team approach) and the bosses were pretty bad@ss but the 3DS doesn't work as well as the Vita for hack n slash and I'm not a big fan of side scrollers (which wasn't really even necessary as I remember boss fights that felt very open and unrestricted like a Versus game).

The latter. Originally from interview I think he said he wanted the orginal 3DS verse stick to roots of two squads with the more 'serious' Yoma and ninja fighting while the Versus games are much more relaxed and allows the flexibility to add in a fuck load of schools hence why New hebijo and Gessen were not playable in SK2 despite being introduced in SV. Ironically EV had the new previously unplayable SK2 characters [green hair and Kagura] be playable.

Who do you want your team to be?

Mine will probrably be Yagyu, Shiki, Renka, Kafuru, and Naraku

Part of it will depend on if the stats are different between the girls and what their specials are. Just based off the girls I like:

Kafuru, Murakumo, Naraku, Yomi, and Hanabi

Ryona, Ikaruga, Yomi, Imu, And Mirai.♡

I'd say Jasmine, Murasaki, Kagura, Naraku, and uh... Murakumo I guess. Don't think I'll be getting this too soon after it eventually gets localized tho

For me it would be Kafuru first of all and then... Ryona, Hikage, ( If they were in Ageha, Yuuyaki and Matsuri ) and If they weren't maybe Ayame and Hibari.
