I may as well show off some of my gameplay.
This wasn't really my best run, but I could improve on it.

It's so fucking funny, even when she's lost control of herself, she's still a complete dumbass-- (/j)
Reasons why I say this:
Yuzu's optimistic lifestyle despite her family's backstory briefly causes Seth to question his past and individuality (UNICLR, Yuzu Arcade Mode Stage 6)
Seth and Yuzu are the 9th and 10th characters to be added into the game, and they're also the 3rd and 4th characters to be shown off in UNI2's opening.
Seth and Yuzu's special intro against each other in UNI2 is them talking about their doubts:
Yuzuriha: Looks like your doubts are gone.
Seth: Heh. Like I had any left in the first place.
And they also have unique win quotes against each other:
Seth: "I refuse to let someone who abandoned the Night Blade clean up after us. Use that sword for your own good, just as I use mine for my own."
Yuzu: "Now that settles it, Sethy! Not that we were on bad terms or anything. Anyway, since the loser's gotta follow the winner's orders... You an' me are gonna be BFFs for life now! Hope you're ready for it!"
I wish I could understand everything he's saying (I can only fully understand the last part, which is "Ayumi tatsu ga yoi, yuragi semaru kyoukai no hateito! KYOUKAI NO DISTANTO!")
I've briefly played NGS1, NGS2 and 3RE, and I felt that my main issue with the combat was that switching weapons completely interrupted the flow of combat. With NG4, that issue has been solved, and Yakumo's combat seemed to instantly click with me. I've heard that his design and combat was meant to get new players into the franchise, and as someone who's still relatively new to Ninja Gaiden, that idea has successfully been realized.
