Talk:Samson/@comment-5424725-20140422051051

This character is almost pure awesomeness: great voice, great name (love the bible reference), great design, and a great concept, and even makes Filia look beautiful (imo, I thought she looks better with him on her head). But Samson as a seperate playable character? In my eyes, this has "bad idea" written all over it, or at least a kinda boring idea.

Sure this character is great and all, but  in my view; Samson is technically already a playable character on Filia. Yes it is her name, the story focuses mostly on her, and she's given more attention by the staff (putting her in front of game advertisements); but I still don't consider this a necessar idea. Despite her name being used; Filia herself hardly does any of the actual fighting and mostly just walks Sam from place to place and only some of the attacks are hers, and even those are just combined with Samson's powers and only like 1-4 of her attacks are standalone. In my opinion, he is the real one I play as and Filia is just a vector for him, and there's no need to make him a seperate playable character. I think I would rather have his Human version as an Alternate Costume or a Secret Boss character (like Shin Akuma or Oboro Bishamon) instead.

I do like a lot the character inspirations listed if he was playable though (except for Sonson in MvC2, I've always hated that monkey girl). And if he didn't have Filia still attached to the back of his head, maybe he'd actually be interesting as an additional character.
