Drawing Fighting Game Characters for 10 weeks. 7th week: Servant with a forgotten past, Shiki

Felt like drawing another female character, eventually settling on a Samurai Shodown character. (Plus I’m fan of SNK games and I didn’t want to do just Fatal Fury for this collection) I actually drew this in a day instead of my usual two days. On the first day I had a pose but the next day I didn’t like her facing back so I scrapped that and somehow managed to finish this in time. I think it turned out decent enough.

A few questions from a newcomer

I randomly stumbled across some gameplay footage of this game and was absolutely blown away it just clicked with me instantly. Picked up Samurai Shodown V on Steam yesterday during the sale, and I'm really keen to get into it. Got a few things I'd like to clear up:

Do most people play on Steam or Fightcade? A friend told me the Fightcade version is better because of some input/control tweaks and more overall settings—is that true? Are there any major differences between the Steam and Fightcade versions? I figure labbing is labbing either way, but sooner or later I'll want to play against real people, so I'd like to maximize the potential player pool as much as possible.

What's the best way to learn this game properly? I have a bit of fighting game experience (around 100 hours total across various Guilty Gear titles, about 20 hours in BlazBlue, and a smattering of other stuff), but I've always been frustrated by slow progress and how hard it is to nail combos. Combos especially...

What should I do next, after I've picked a character? I really like Nakoruru, so I think I'll stick with her.
