Ok, we are almost done with the countdown, and I know which character to put on number 5. And that would be Shiki.
She first appeared in Samurai Shodown 64.
She even appeared in SVC Chaos, one of the most famous SNK crossover games.
The reason I put her on this list was her Backstory, and weapon design,
Let's start with her Backstory She's a serve t of Yuga and her memory became fractured when she was brainwashed by Yuga in her adulthood, She engraved a snake tattoo on her back by Yuga as a means to be controlled by him.
She was told to find a man fit to become the perfect body for the revival of the Dark Lord. And that man was Haohmaru, However after Yuga was slain, Shiki's soul was freed.
She wields two katanas with Stylized hilts named Darkness Demon Ring and Light God Ring.
